Holy war take 5
Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich (Of the keneset and Yisrael Beiteinu) visits the Aqsa Mosqu again, We have seen this before from a very avid Holy-war-guru (Ariel Sharon) some time ago, and it did not end nicely.
All i am concerned about is the Civilian casualties, Last Ariel Sharon visit gave rise to an intifada, in it’s most benign of forms, it collects a few teenage casualties (From 1 side), in it’s escalated form it involves white phosphorus in highly populated areas.
What i don’t understand is, what do the Palestinians and Israelis want ? they always want something, but what do they want eventually ?
It is always no good news when it is a Holy war, But is it just a holy war ? I have my doubts.
My understanding of this grew so complex that it takes an evening to explain where i think we are, variables include confessions from former PLO Leaders on al jazeerah (Revise abu dawood interview), negative attitudes towards a 2-state solution, Iran and it’s statements last “Gaza” war, Hamas ceasing Gaza (From the PLO), and other very irritating variables.
And then, i hear the word elitists from officials talking off the record about people who have sided oppinions on the matter, and it gets on my nerves, what kind of Elitism endorses a side in a holy war, If he can blame one party in a holy war, he is not of the elite, PERIOD.
NOTE: Some of you would argue that the elite would never endorse war holy or not, i would have to say that depends on many definitions and variables so i would pass on such a statement, But in most situations i agree.
