Fascinating--and sad--analysis both of Israel and America.
Too bad so few of us are willing to let go of the pain, terror, and fury of the toddler who keeps running into the walls of Life's Maze in favor of trying to learn ones way through that maze, then help others do likewise.
I have never read such a intricate weaving of such a tangled mess of beliefs. My brain starts smoking from the heat of such complexity. I find myself wanting to move to a place of observation. Involving myself in any judgement indicates to me a lack of deeper understanding and I just don't have it, other than knowing that humanity has a long way to go to achieve harmony. Fear and intolerance keep getting in the way. / This trip seems to have moved you to a place you couldn't have foreseen. A major life event.
Wow! Thank you! Lots to read and digest in the 7th continuation of observations and indepth human messyness!
Please, allow me to share a personal note that makes your account of nations very viable in our lives..right now..with much prayer! Our son has returned from living in Bethlehem, 2 years, Ammon, Jordan, for nine years. He met a beautiful wife. Gave birth to two daughters, via midwife. They left many friends of many differing beliefs behind. They are missionaries returned from these countries, trying to adapt to America. They are finding it very hard living in a culture that is so free. They are overwhelmed by the abundance and waste. They see so much, but so little unity. I sent them this 7th article because I believe this deeper evaluation of what they left behind and coming back to America, hoping this will help them.
God always provides in the most unimaginable ways. Thank you for your ability to write and share these words. They have such power if we only see the deeper ways of mankind.
God's blessings on your pages reaching those who need this insight.
I read an immediacy to resolving issues. In a condensed environment, seems like recognizing/discerning and understanding what needs fixing is paramount. You can see the difference in how farms look from the road. Years ago when the Catholic Church was coming out from under its scandals, I read a church article that broke down its’ demographic. From what I remember; 10% charismatic, 10% very dedicated Catholic, the rest were almost secular. I think the ebbs and flows of peace and turmoil in community relationships will always exist.
Bravissimo! And thank you for the objective and penetrating observations via Tocqueville.
It certainly has evolved from the moonscape described by Twain in “The Innocents Abroad”.
When half the Muslim Arabs in the eastern Mediterranean seem to be osmotically migrating to Europe, that pressure seems to have escaped the “Palestinians”.
BTW: here’s a 3 minute video of Europe’s changing national boundaries over the last 1,000 years::
Amazing, truly. I have trusted you since Covid, you have been a fountain of wisdom. You verified my trust with this series of articles. To read about the concepts of pidyon shevuyim and pikuach nefesh from someone who is outside of the Jewish faith is a huge testament to the rigorous research that you do in your work. I am curious if you think that aliyah will affect the demographic. If just ten percent of the Jews of Australia, Britain, Canada and France were to move to Israel would that change things for the future of the country? I personally believe that this will not be solved until the coming of the messiah, but if I were to see it from a practical perspective, could that affect the democratic system?
Love your Tocqueville comparison. He’s largely still considered ‘an objective analyzer.’ Very helpful. Don’t really understand it all, but that’s the point…..
Geopolitical issues rarely have simple binary solutions. The complexity of so many diverse and extremely strong belief systems, in my humble opinion, makes it incredibly difficult to reconcile towards peace. A great article doctors.
Well done, and very insightful. Thank you for your clarity and objectivity.

Thank you. As an ethnic Jew and believing Christian, I find your series intelligent, rational and honest. It is worthy of rereading and study.

And then we have the iranian fanatics fanning the flames there providing another uncertainty factor.
