But this was always the plan. Obama helped create it. He never had any interest in stopping it or doing anything for humanity. He was always part of the team tearing down the Arab states, as is Israel itself. This was yet another inside job, like 9/11, to justify slaughter throughout the entire region. Really, nothing to do with Hamas, Judaism or Gaza. The op just relies on the tensions and emotions that they’ve help build over many years.
You can’t have a successful op without some very relatable truth in it.
Very beautifully expressed, as well as showing the integrity of the thought process you are using. It is unfortunate that you got no response, but that is to be expected. I am glad you will write further on this, as your in-depth understanding is badly needed on this issue. Eventually, you and others calling out those who want to control other peoples' realities to benefit themselves, will have chipped away the facade and exposed them. At some point, they will go too far, and the weight of their manipulative behaviors will become their liability as the people will then step in to negotiate a new system. I pray that we will all live to see that happen, as it inevitably will.
Excellent analysis Dr. Perlman that holds even more true in today’s environment. It is possible to distinguish legitimate grievances and provocations from justifications for wanton violence. A casual browsing through social media today shows just how agitated of a situation we are dealing with, with round the clock conflicting reports and fear mongering along with genocidal calls as some “final solution.” Pretending that context is irrelevant or questions about how things got to this point should be shelved until after reactionary military operations will only guarantee more radicalization, more conflicts and consolidation of control by globalists. In this current traumatic fugue, it’s almost impossible to advance the many numerous calls for global justice and accountability for the crimes perpetrated against all of humanity these last few years.
Thanks for sharing this pertinent open letter to Obama. It is beyond regretful that he failed to heed your efforts to make a revolutionary change in how we approach the middle east crisis. It is so discouraging to see the evidence of yet another fatal mistake our government has made. They refused to listen to the front line physicians during Covid and they failed to listen to independent, well respected professionals about new and likely effective conflict resolution of the Israeli-Palestine bitter disagreements. Now I see the DNC attacking Kennedy and preventing him from essentially running as a Democrat. Kennedy refuses to play the game of endless wars. Instead he moves toward diplomacy, encouraging us to consider the needs of both parties in any conflict. He's been called out for not supporting the military industrial complex which Eisenhower warned the American people about in his farewell address. It is clear that his warnings have been ignored and it is at our great peril. We are living in dangerous times. I see our government as complicit. It's horrifying to me the extent of the disinformation that they peddle. Thanks for all you're doing to shine a bright light onto the truth.
"A rich body of knowledge, not well known outside academia, describes methods demonstrated to reverse cycles of violence. We are beginning to understand how terrorism ends and how extremist groups become nonviolent and productive through participation in legitimate political processes -- and also what causes radicalization and drives people to extremes (as, in this connection, when Hamas won in a fair election, they were prepared to form a coalition with Fatah, until they were punished and threatened)."
It would seem that today's academia has succumbed to the narrative. Do you agree? Was there any response, from the Administration or otherwise, to your Open Letter?
yes, exactly Diane, "two traumatized peoples." I am listening to an interview with Gabor Matte right now. He is a well-known expert on trauma. Yes, most all of us carry trauma, from our family of origin as well as collective trauma. The German word is "weltschmerz" - world pain. Some of us see that huge traumas happen when people do not have a secure place to live, a "place to stand" as the Maoris term "turangawaewae" means, and thus work for "earth rights democracy". Your work as a political psychologist and mine as an earth rights psychotherapist have much to contribute for person/planet healing. I am happy that life has brought us together!
Your statement...says who? where? disembodied pronouncements from everywhere and nowhere at once, okay...."Under fear,- (under? )- many regress to concrete thinking and may lose higher level brain functions. "
Oh, dear. Such hubris. Thanks. Unsubbed. I was just saying how europe loves to point the finger outward...while it colon-izes the entire planet.
I wish europeans would all go home and fucking deal with europe, the bane of the planet.
"higher brain functions" indeed. Fuck Europe and it's endless wars and endless religious cults of human sacrifice. Europe needs to self destruct, like yesterday.
I don't care if you're "American"..so called. If you talk and think like this, and actually imagine that this freak in "the white house" gives a fuck about your blah blah blah....well, what can be said.?
Tower of Babble is what you belong to. How friggin' many "groups" like yours blabbing away on this planet? As if you give a damn about anything but your privilege.
Dear Diane: Your history of being a well-informed voice willing to reach out in every creative way possible to create a new and thoughtful way of resolving the world's most horrendous conflicts is really awe-inspiring. I'm honored to have been hosted by you and to have met you at the time of the March Against the Mandates. You are truly one of the unsung heroines. I appreciate what you do and have done so much. This is real depth. Peace & Blessings, Rachel
Very impressing and of course without answer. Unfortunately the pretty picture of the then first president of colour has now bleached a bit, but your argument remains even stronger.
I would rather point to the prophesies of Ed Dowd that a big enough war will be launched in time and order to cover up for the mandated but poisonous global injections and t he many hurt, wounded and dead in t hat context, now risking come to light through the hole in the wall....

Obama does not care about Israel. Not even a little bit.
