End Genocide Everywhere Without Exception
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Hatred is the darkest emotion and the greatest danger to
mankind. When such a severe emotion controls a person or group, what follows is
inevitable: violence and death. Hatred is sometimes personal, but frequently
includes an entire race, other demographics, or religious sect. This is an act
of pure ignorance and a low level of basic intelligence.
AMERICA HAS A 405 YEAR HISTORY OF RACISM AND BIGOTY
Although it is true that our nation has a more than 400-year
history of extreme racism and bigotry, which continues today, the United States
is not alone in its crimes against humanity. Greed, jealousy, and envy pare
segments of the ultimate and most despicable emotion owned by human beigns:
hate.
RELIGIONS WERE ALL FOUNDED ON PEACE AND LOVE IN THEIR ORIGIN
Much of the world’s history involves violence between
religions. Battles between Pagans and Christians led to the Crusades and war
between Christians and Muslims. These bloody and senseless battles began in
1095 and lasted until 1291: Nearly 200 years. There have been wars between
Catholics and Christians.
[In 16th-century France, there was a series of wars between
Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots primarily), known as the French Wars of
Religion. In the first half of the 17th century, the German stat In

primarily) and Poland were beset by religious warfare during the Thirty Years
War. es, Scandinavia (Sweden, primarily) and Poland were beset by religious

Over the last quarter of a century, there have been bloody
conflicts between opposing sects of the Religion of Islam.
All of these destructive and tragic religion-based
atrocities can be called “genocide.”
MIDDLE EAST AND GENOCIDE
There is no doubt that the endless violence in the Middle
East is the result of endless conflicts without resolution between Jews and
Muslims for centuries. History proves that with the exception of their
religious beliefs, they are more alike than different.
THE LATEST CONFLICT IS NOT BETWEEN ALL ISRAELIS AND
PALESTINIANS, IT IS BETWEEN NETANYAHU AND THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
The latest conflict between Israel and the Palestinian
people is the bloodiest since the mid 20TH
Century. It began with a terrorist group known as “Hamas.” Hamast
kidnapped dozens of Israeli citizens. A counterattack by Israel has spread into
Gaza and beyond. Thousands of innocent Palestinians have been killed. However,
Netanyahu claims that his forces will not retreat until all members of Hamas
have been neutralized.
Just recently, President Biden allowed Israel to purchase
additional weapons of mass destruction. A growing number of Democrats are
demanding an end to this process, subtly calling Netanyahu’s action what it is,
“genocide.”
The latest Democratic leader to add her name to the demand
is former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
“In light of the recent strike against aid workers and the
ever-worsening humanitarian crisis, we believe it is unjustifiable to approve
these weapons transfers,” read the letter signed on Friday by the lawmakers,
including former House speaker and Biden ally Nancy Pelosi.
Finally, the facts prove that there will be no peace in the
region until there is a “two state” solution, something Netanyahu is adamantly
opposed to.
