A Twenty-first Century Human Dilemma. For good or evil / better or worse, Israel was created by force, Aided by Britain, the United States of America, and the UN. We all know the reasons why this act was performed. We (the USA), especially, pledged to be a steadfast ally at all cost. We have also weekly, financially supported this new country, Which also is, of course, a legitimate sovereign nation. Today, our octogenarian president, having lived during That pioneer period and well aware of our former pacts, Strongly stood by Israel, because of our original treaty and promises. But the world has changed and by oblitering so many Gazan civilians, While defending itself against the aggressing political organization, It has created an enigma as to the best approach to warfare. By backing Israel's blitz, Biden has been condemned Because of 'backing' so many deaths. How to rectify this nightmarish situation will be temporarily solved, But the only final and needed conclusion is a Two State Solution, Where the Palestinian people will at last, once again, govern themselves. My only futuristic thought is, would it be best To exchange territory so that the Nation of Palestine Will control a single area, creating a more manageable nation-state? Causing a great catastrophe, Pakistan was carved Out of the Indian territory, both east and west portions. Of course, other such human 'experiments' were artificially formed To appease religious, historical, ethnic, or political tensions. The planet is basically 'neutral': the complication and conflict Are its human overlords! Frank Maurer 2 February 2024 1515 Hours.
