The Absence Of The Red Cross On The Israeli Hostages

Posted on May 24, 2024 by First.One.Through

Three more hostages were found in Gaza, dead. All three were killed in the October 7 Hamas massacre, and the Gazan army took the lifeless bodies to the terrorist enclave. They were retrieved in a special operation by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on May 24 and brought back to Israel for burial.

The Gazan forces of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and others took around 250 people from Israel to Gaza as hostages. In addition to many corpses, were living babies, young women, men and elderly people. Many had illnesses and require medicine and particular care.

The Red Cross has not visited a single one since their abduction.

The international aid agency has a webpage dedicated to the hostages called “What the Red Cross is doing to help hostages taken from Israel?” It states that “For more than seven months, families of hostages held in Gaza have endured unimaginable suffering as they wait for news of their loved ones. Colleagues from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have been working round the clock to access the hostages and provide desperate families with information about their loved ones.”

But the international organization makes clear that it can only do so much if the powers of Gaza refuse to work with them. “The plight of the hostages held in Gaza remains one of ICRC’s utmost priorities. They are standing by to facilitate and bring the remaining hostages back to their loved ones. But the situation is extremely difficult. The ICRC does not have information about where the hostages are. Even if the location was known, the ICRC cannot force its way into where hostages are held. And they can only visit hostages and support relief operations if there is an agreement by the parties to the conflict.”

The Israeli government has demanded that the UN and ICRC get aid to the hostages, with its Foreign Minister Eli Cohen saying “We expect the Red Cross to put the issue at the top of the organization’s priority list, to use all levers of pressure, and not rest until it visits all the hostages, assesses their condition, and makes sure they are receiving the medical care they need.” The Anti-Defamation League made similar calls and worked to rally support to pressure the UN and Red Cross.

Otherwise, there’s been very little.

The Biden Administration has focused on making demands of Israel, not the UN or Red Cross. New York Senator Chuck Schumer called for the Israeli government to fall but made no challenge to the Red Cross. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (NY-16) made a call for a ceasefire after October 7 but did not ask for the hostages to be released and then said that the entire idea that Gazans raped Israelis was “a lie.”

Only two American politicians – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Congresswoman Becca Balint (VT-AL) – sent a letter to the Red Cross on December 18, 2023, asking why the agency designed to help people in war has done nothing to help the hostages. At a minimum, it should get a “proof of life,” a basic standard in international law.

*Letter from Reps. Goldman and Balint to the Red Cross is one of the only instances of any politician outside of Israel demanding that the international agency do something about the hostages*

The failure of the world to even ASK the Red Cross to gain simple information about the hostages is proof that the world fully understands that Gazans stand outside of international law. Engaging with the Gazan government and army would be like asking a spider to translate Homer’s Iliad.

Despite being fully aware that Palestinian Arabs operate completely outside of acceptable norms and international laws, Spain, Ireland and Norway took steps to recognize a Palestinian state on May 28. Some of those countries have a history of combatting jihadi networks. I imagine that they would have been alarmed had United Nations member states openly celebrated and formally recognized the terrorist groups as legitimate.

The entire world has completely internalized that Gazans operate outside of international and humanitarian law, yet many countries propose to legitimize them. Doing so is not simply an act of aggression against Israel but an invitation for terrorism to target those very states.

ACTION ITEM

Demand that President Biden, your senators and members of congress contact the Red Cross to get information about the hostages taken from Israel.

When Enemies Of The Jews Use “Any Means Necessary”

Posted on May 16, 2024 by First.One.Through

For thousands of years, Jews have been hunted, caged, expelled and exterminated.

In 1791, Catherine II confined Jews into the “Pale of Settlement” which consisted of only 25% of Russian lands and forbade them from living anywhere else. Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s restricted Jews to ghettos before shipping them to extermination camps. The Germans and their allies killed 6 million Jews, one-third of the global population.

Today, radical jihadi organizations in the United States and elsewhere want to liquidate the land of Israel of its Jews, where roughly 45% of world Jewry lives. Groups like Within Our Lifetime and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) were gleeful as Gazans went door-to-door on October 7, 2023 to rape women, shoot children before their parents and burn families alive.

WESPAC and the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) stand before Jewish schools and organizations and chant “by any means necessary” to intimate and harrass American Jews that the global intifada is here to claim more victims.

*Members of WESPAC gather before a Jewish Day School in Westchester, NY calling for “Liberation by any means necessary” after the October 7 slaughter of 1,200 Jews in Israel*

What is the defense against such people? Have they passed the point of rehabilitation? Should the focus be on limiting their power and influence? If so, by what means? Should they be prosecuted? Shut down or denied tax-exempt status?

Or is it to fight back similarly “by any means necessary,” that if they advocate for an immoral war, then the proportionate response is also by any means necessary, including advocating carpet-bombing Gaza? If they will protest in front of Jewish organizations, should Zionists map out every Muslim organization using the same tactic and confront children in school for complicity with heinous crimes against humanity?

*Masked people outside of Columbia University calling for destroying the Jewish State “by any means necessary”*

Jews and Zionists have tried to find a way to coexist with Arabs since they started returning to the Jewish holy land in greater numbers in the 1840s. The Arab response since 1920 has been a complete rejection of Jewish presence and rights.

Perhaps now is the time to not reply “in-kind” and refuse to allow evil actors to dictate the relationship between the groups.

Perhaps it is the moment for Jews to liberate themselves from antisemitism that has plagued them for centuries by being more assertive in claiming their basic human rights, which are being denied both by Arabs and the United Nations:

Declare United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 which made it illegal for Jews – and only Jews – to live in Judaism’s holiest city of the Old City of Jerusalem, a flagrant antisemitic edict, inherently illegal, and null and void as it denies Jews basic human rights
Declare that the Jordanian Waqf no longer can demand that Jews – and only Jews – cannot pray at Judaism’s holiest location on the Jewish Temple Mount, as it is a flagrant violation of Jews basic human rights

Antisemitic anti-Zionist groups are calling for violence to ethnically cleanse Jews from their holy land – as Palestinian Arabs have done for a century – and to come after Jews and Zionists globally. In reply, Jews and Zionists should stand tall and demand “by human rights means only”, demand basic civility to live freely anywhere and everywhere, and to pray openly at their holiest location.

Two-Faced UNRWA

Posted on May 14, 2024 by First.One.Through

UNRWA, the special dedicated agency devoted to the descendants of Palestinian Arabs who left Israel, markets itself to the world as a humanitarian agency. It claims that Israel spreads disinformation about its work and attempts to portray the agency as a partner of the genocidal political-terrorist group Hamas, when it is just trying to care for unsettled Arabs.

The two faces of UNRWA were on display on May 14, 2024, as Israel celebrated its 76th birthday amid the war with Hamas in Gaza.

UNRWA’s website related stories of a death of a staff member in Gaza and “arson at UNRWA’s East Jerusalem office.” The article described how “Israeli extremists” were protesting and vandalizing UNRWA offices and intimidating the staff. Meanwhile, Palestinian Arabs who were seeking “shelter and safety in UNRWA schools” only found blown out buildings.

What UNRWA failed to report on that same day was that Hamas soldiers were embedded in its infrastructure, including its schools and hospitals.

As reported in other non-United Nations news sources, on May 14, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) “struck a Hamas command center embedded in a school in Gaza run by” UNRWA. The attack on a “Hamas war room” inside an UNRWA facility killed “at least 15 terrorists.” The building was in “Nuseirat, about 15 miles away from Rafah“, where the IDF is preparing to root out the last four Hamas battalions

It begs a question as to who is really supplying the “misinformation and disinformation, including about [UNRWA’s] staff and operations,” Israel or UNRWA itself?

Stop Genocide. Destroy Hamas

Posted on May 10, 2024 by First.One.Through

Pundits throw around a phrase that one cannot use a military or force to destroy an ideology.

That’s true. But irrelevant.

Hate and evil movements will never disappear from mankind as long as there are more than three people in the world.

There are still Nazis alive today but they don’t control a government, an army or a territory. As such, the grotesque ideology directly impacts few people.

The evil of ISIL was sharply curtailed when their developing “caliphate” was defeated. It was accomplished by several countries coming together to lay waste to their military, not by sitting down and trying to placate their “grievances.”

That’s the goal with Hamas, the evil government that rules the Gaza Strip. Together with various other jihadi militant groups like Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas spends their efforts instilling antisemitism into their schools and building a military infrastructure to destroy Israel. That control must be ended.

There is one way to stop genocide in the near-term: destroy Hamas’s ability to do battle and hold territory.

To reduce the probability of another war in the region in the longer-term, the United Nations and Saudi Arabia must clearly state that there is no right of return of Palestinian refugees and their descendants into Israel. None.

Shortly thereafter, UNRWA should be deconstructed whereby the facilities administered by UNRWA in the West Bank and Gaza are transferred to the Palestinian Authority, those in Jordan are handed to the government of Jordan, and those in Lebanon and Syria are transferred to the global refugee agency, UNHCR.

To stop genocide, the world should work with Israel to move civilians out of harm’s way, and empower the Israeli military to dismantle Hamas’s ability to fight and govern again.

Jordan’s Hypocrisy: Queen Rania on Palestinians and UNRWA

The Core Of The Arab-Israeli Conflict In One Simple Sentence

Posted on April 24, 2024 by First.One.Through

The Palestinian Arabs sought and failed to be recognized as a new state by the United Nations Security Council on April 18, 2024, as the United States vetoed the resolution, insisting that Israel and the Palestinian Authority need to hammer out the contours of a deal before they would recognize a state. As the U.S. is a permanent member of the UNSC, its veto is an effective block.

In responding to the event, Ziad Abu Amr, the Palestinian representative to the UN made an opening statement that contains a twisted narrative which is arguably the best place to understand the core of the conflict.

According to the Palestinian representative to the UN, the “plight” of the “Palestinian people” started “over a century ago” and, what’s more, it “is still ongoing.”

“Over a century ago”: meaning the conflict is not rooted in the 1967 War in which Israel took over Gaza and the West Bank in a defensive war. Instead, he claims it started with the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and the accelerated move of Jews to their historic homeland. Palestinians are not fighting about getting a state in the West Bank and Gaza, they are fighting about the presence of Jews and the existence of a Jewish State.

“Palestinian people”: A century ago, Palestinians included both Jews and Arabs. Both were residents of the Ottoman-controlled region. By suggesting that “Palestinian people” of a century ago are only Arabs is an ahistorical lie. Jews were Palestinians, and the “plight” that they have endured is the persistent attacks by local Arabs.

“Is still ongoing.”: Yes, Jews still live and continue to move to the land of Israel, and the Jewish State still exists. That Palestinian Arabs view the presence as a source of their “plight” shows their xenophobia, antisemitism and refusal to coexist.

The Palestinian representative, unashamed by his admission of xenophobia and antisemitism, continued to air more lies that “We” (meaning local Arabs) “have made every possible genuine effort… to achieve a peace that is based on the two state solution.”

Rejecting two-states in 1947, 1948, 1967, 2000, 2008, 2014 and launching wars slaughtering thousands of Israeli civilians is hardly an effort towards peace. The heinous attacks of October 7 and broad support by Palestinians for the attack show the desire of local Arabs to seek the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews.

Palestinian Arabs voted the antisemitic jihadi terrorist group Hamas to 58% of parliament and continue to support the group which controls Gaza and over 2 million people. In what alternative reality does anyone think that Palestinian Arabs support a two-state solution when the Hamas charter specifically states it will never accept a Jewish State? Why would any United Nations’ country vote to admit a State of Palestine that is still devoted to the mass slaughter of Jews and destruction of the Jewish State?

The Palestinian Authority lied to the United Nations that Jews have no rights nor history in the holy land and that the Jewish presence causes Arab suffering. That’s how little they’ve advanced in coexistence over the past century.

Time To Sentence The United Nations For Involuntary Manslaughter

Posted on April 12, 2024 by First.One.Through

James and Jennifer Crumbley were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for a crime they did not physically commit. Their teenage son shot and killed several classmates, and the courts sentenced the couple to 10 to 15 years for turning a blind eye to what was clearly a toxic situation.

Even though prosecutors did not advance an argument regarding the parents knowledge (or lack thereof) that their son planned to commit the heinous attack, the courts found that the parents ignored all of the warning signs that their son was a troubled teen and nevertheless, bought him a gun, and did not have it locked away. As guardians of their son, the U.S. courts ruled that the parents were guilty of essentially pouring flammable fluid around a pyromaniac.

Should this ruling hold up, it could have ramifications for many other guardian-ward situations, such as the United Nations and their Palestinian Arab wards.

The UN has long adopted Palestinian Arabs as their wards, setting up distinct agencies like UNRWA to care for them, hosting countless sessions and agenda items surrounding their situation, hiring special “rapporteurs” to look into their well-being, et cetera. These agencies have all been complicit in the ongoing situation in the Middle East and Gaza specifically.

UNRWA runs the school system in Gaza which lies to the youth that Israel is an illegal entity and occupier of Palestinian land
UNRWA runs the “refugee” camps for millions of Arabs who live in historic “Palestine” in Gaza and the West Bank.
The United Nations promises millions of “refugees” that their future is in Israel, just over the fence
UNRWA hires thousands of local Arabs, many of which are members of terrorist groups including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, devoted to killing Jews
The UN has invested billions of dollars into the UNRWA schools, hospitals, apartments and micro loans, all in coordination with Hamas which rules Gaza, even though Hamas has the destruction of Israel a core part of its philosophy and foundational charter

Even though Israel left Gaza in 2005, Gazans did not focus on building a thriving independent peaceful society. Gazans expressed greater support for killing Jewish civilians inside Israel even before Hamas took which triggered the Israeli and Egyptian blockade. All the while, the number of missiles and weaponry and massive tunnel infrastructure was assembled under the watch of UNRWA and the United Nations which are integral to the operations inside Gaza.

Despite the evil intent of Gazans and Gaza leadership, every year the UN asked the world to send hundreds of millions of dollars to the terrorist enclave, knowing they sought the destruction of Israel. The UN took billions of dollars of global generosity for a premeditated genocide. It knowingly built human shield infrastructure atop a foundation of radical jihadists’ military infrastructure, in what can most generously be called “willful ignorance.”

Willful ignorance is no longer a defense. It is insufficient to dismantle UNRWA; the UN should be brought to the International Court of Justice.

US Fails To Lead Systemically Anti-Israel UN Security Council

Posted on March 27, 2024 by First.One.Through

The United Nations Security Council knows about terrorism and how to condemn it. Here is a recent sample of condemnations:

March 27, 2024 when 6 people killed in Pakistan
March 22, 2024 attack in Russia killing over 100 people
March 22, 2024 attack in Afghanistan killing several people
March 21, 2024 attacks in Haiti by armed gangs
March 18, 2024 on attacks on vessels by Houthis
March 11 on situation in Haiti
February 29 about attacks in Burkina Faso
February 8 attacks in Pakistan
January 4 attack in Iran

But the UNSC has refused to collectively condemn the Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas when several resolutions were introduced over the past two months.

The UNSC ultimately did pass Resolution 2728 calling for a ceasefire for the remainder of Ramadan, and only the United States, United Kingdom, Russia and Israel condemned Hamas and its attacks during their comments. The rest of the council remained silent and refused to endorse a prior US-led proposal which included formal language condemning Palestinian terrorism.

The countries which refused to condemn Palestinian barbarism included:

Algeria
China
Ecuador
France
Guyana
Japan
Malta
Mozambique
Korea
Sierra Leone
Slovenia
Switzerland

Note that in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 atrocities, the UN Security Council did not issue any statement condemning the Palestinian barbarity. It did not address the attack until Russia tried to pass a ceasefire resolution a week later on October 16, to protect Hamas terrorists as Israel responded.

In sharp contrast to the brutal slaughter of 1,200 people in Israel and taking of 250 hostages, the UNSC issued the following denunciation of terrorism just one day after six people were killed in Pakistan on March 26:

“The members of the Security Council condemned in the strongest terms the heinous and cowardly terrorist attack near Besham, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, on 26 March which resulted in the deaths of five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani national.

“The members of the Security Council expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Governments of Pakistan and China, and they wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured.

“The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security.

“The members of the Security Council underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice. They urged all States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with the Governments of Pakistan and China, as well as all other relevant authorities in this regard.

“The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed. They reaffirmed the need for all States to combat by all means, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other obligations under international law, including international human rights law, international refugee law and international humanitarian law, threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.“

Imagine the UNSC issuing such a statement for Israel. The failure to do so after October 7 sums up the United Nations.

The United Nations is deeply and systemically anti-Israel and the United States caved to the global body rather than lead in a principled fashion. It is imperative for the United States and other moral countries to send as much military aid to Israel as possible to both finish Hamas and prepare for war against Iran’s other proxies which surround the Jewish state, and simultaneously cut funding to the horrific global agency.

The Narrative that Prevents Peace in the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Destroying Hamas Convinces Gazans To Support Two State Solution. Why Doesn’t The UN Get It?

Posted on March 27, 2024 by First.One.Through

The United States abstained from a United Nations Security Council Resolution 2728 because the language calling for a ceasefire “did not contain a condemnation of Hamas” (22:35). The reality is that the United Nations needs to do more than just “condemn Hamas” as advocated by the US (23:30). They have to join the US in the goal “to defeat Hamas” (25:58).

According to the latest PCPSR March 2024 poll, the ongoing war has finally made Gazans start to change their attitudes. From September 2023 (pre-war) to March 2024, the percentage of Gazans who support a two state solution jumped from 34% to 62% (figure 28). Further, the percentage of Gazans supporting violence dropped from 56% in December 2023 to 39% in March 2024 (figure 29). Overall, the percentage of Palestinian Arabs (Gazans and West Bankers) favoring armed Arab militias patrolling the West Bank also declined from 56% in December 2023 to 41% in March 2024 (figure 31).

Yet the United Nations takes actions exactly opposed to their stated goals. Nations voice support for an immediate end to the war and movement towards a two-state solution even though those things are completely incompatible. The path to two-states is moving Gazans out of harm’s way so that Israel can finish the neutering of Hamas. Advancing a ceasefire and leaving Hamas intact will continue the ongoing hostilities for years.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh celebrated the passing of the UN resolution while in Iran. He said “Although this resolution came late and there may be some gaps that need to be filled, the resolution itself indicates that the Israeli occupation is experiencing unprecedented political isolation.” He sees the UN saving his genocidal approach towards the conflict on the eve of its potential destruction.

The United Nations is the major roadblock to peace, continuing to tell the descendants of “Palestinian refugees” that they will get to move into Israel, and protecting the antisemitic political-terrorist group Hamas. The United States should not just stop payments to UNRWA but the entire United Nations.

UN Secretary General Accuses Israel Of “Islamophobia War”

Posted on March 25, 2024 by First.One.Through

Antonio Guterres, the United Nations Secretary General, has long made clear his sympathies for Palestinian Arabs over Israel. Those Arabs are his adopted wards and there are 50 Muslim-majority countries at the UN, so he does their bidding as part of his job.

As part of protecting Palestinian Arabs, he has refused to call for the Hamas terrorists which committed the heinous attacks on October 7 to be brought to justice, and instead urged “maximum restraint,” contrary to how he responds to other terrorist attacks.

On March 15, 2024, Guterres took a step beyond defending Palestinians to accusing Israel of engaging in an ethnically-motivated war against Muslims.

On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, Guterres led with a call “for a silencing of the guns in Gaza and Sudan. Today, at this important event, I call on all political, religious and community leaders — everyone, everywhere — to join our plea. It’s time for peace.”

This is outrageous.

The war taking place in Sudan is an ethnic battle of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias against ethnic Masalit Muslims. The RSF deliberately murdered over 1,000 people, somewhat like the Palestinian political-terrorist group Hamas attack on Israelis.

But Guterres inverted the narrative. While the targeted victims were Muslims in Sudan, the targets in the Gaza war were Israeli Jews. The radical jihadists of Hamas engaged in an all-out ethnic war to rid the land of Jews as made clear in their foundational charter. Israel is simply responding to the attack which happened to be committed by radical Muslims. Charging Israel with “Islamophobia” is both a disgusting smear and a whitewashing of the noxious antisemitism of Palestinians.

The United Nations Secretary General is fanning the flames of hatred against the Jewish State, inverting the vile antisemitism of Hamas jihadists to an accusation that Israel is engaged in an anti-Islamic war. His comments should be repudiated by every member of the United Nations and he should be forced to resign.

Tor Wennesland is the Norwegian-born United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. His obvious inability to coordinate peace among the warring parties or even to separate them has certainly frustrated him since he took the position in 2021.

Wennesland has seemingly resorted to converting simultaneously to both Judaism and Islam, declaring himself both a rabbi and imam, and issued religious rulings and fatwas against both the Palestinian Muslims and Israeli Jews.

On March 12, 2024, Wennesland produced a curious declaration that flies in the face of facts, reality and dignity.

His opening salvo was against Jews around the world saying “I call for the status quo at the holy sites in Jerusalem to be upheld and respected.” That ‘status quo’ is the current ban on Jews praying at their holiest site of the Temple Mount, a complete trampling on the basic rights of Jews around the world. His language of “I call” was an interesting phrase, seemingly not offering his personal preference but taking the role of a rabbi to inform Jews that praying on the Temple Mount is forbidden.

He then turned to the Palestinian Islamists and said “Any attempt by extremists to turn the conflict into a religious one must be staunchly rejected.”

But that is the very core of the conflict and current Hamas war. Hamas’ foundational charter is a religious war against the Jews and the Jewish State with phrases such as:

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it.” (Opening)
“Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious.” (Preamble)
“Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews)… there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him” (Article 7)
“Nothing in nationalism is more significant or deeper than in the case when an enemy should tread Moslem land” (Article 12)
“In face of the Jews’ usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised…. the Palestinian problem is a religious problem, and should be dealt with on this basis.” (Article 15)
“Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people.” (Article 28)
“fight with the warmongering Jews.” (Article 32)
“everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the call of duty while loudly proclaiming: Hail to Jihad.” (Article 33)
“Moslems were able to retrieve the land only when they stood under the wing of their religious banner… This is the only way to liberate Palestine… confront the Zionist invasion and defeat it… rid themselves of the effects of ideological invasion.” (Article 34)

Wennesland is obviously familiar with Hamas, its charter and philosophy. He knows that Palestinian Arabs support the group and the savage attack on Israelis on October 7. He therefore opted to don an Islamic tunic, promote himself and declare a fatwa that “The sanctity of Ramadan cannot and should not be used for political gains and calculations.” A curious declaration from a Christian to tell Muslims what to do with their holy month of Ramadan.

Beyond my obvious mocking and teasing of the absurdity of Wennesland’s dual conversions to both Judaism and Islam, perhaps there is a kernel of an idea in what he said.

For all these years, the global community specifically tried to frame the conflict as one solely about land and pretended that religion played no part. The foundation for that approach was that religion operates in absolutes and offers no compromises, and therefore no solutions to two people fighting over the same holy sites.

Unless, as Wennesland attempted to do, a single person – or perhaps a committee – represents both Muslims and Jews. A new council which would meet and find a way to respect the other’s faiths and traditions and map a pathway towards coexistence.

People have argued that there is no military solution to the middle east but history has shown that there is no political solution either. Now may be the time to find a religious path to peace in the holy land.
