World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part XXXXXXXXIX: As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain objective and independent in my views such that I would like to address in further detail why the extremist factions of the respective Parties like Hamas (Palestinian); Hezbollah (Palestinian); and Mossad (Israeli) should be part of the negotiations on-line and on-time via teleconferencing, other than for security reasons to avoid a wild UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) style street fight. It is important that this issue now be addressed as on May 30, 2014, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Israel’s wait-and-see approach to the Fatah - Hamas unity talks was “appropriate”. As a friendly reminder, Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority President of Fatah, needs to accept such a unity with Hamas as a sign that the hand (Hamas) will react in line with the head (Fatah) and avoid the hand (Hamas) slapping the head (Fatah) in order to be able to negotiate a long-term sustainable solution with Israel. Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, needs to accept such a unity between Fatah - Hamas as the foundation to allowing Fatah (head/ political movement) to represent Hamas (hand/ military movement) at the bargaining table for long-term sustainable peace with Israel. However, this has now become more difficult as Israel buried three Israeli teens it says were kidnapped and killed by the Islamic militant group Hamas consisting of Eyal Yifrah (19); Gilad Shaar (16) and Naftali Fraenkel (16) who initially disappeared on the night of June 12, 2014 as they were hitchhiking home from Jewish seminaries they attended in the West Bank. While not condemning the abduction, Hamas denied responsibility for the teens’ death. To add fuel to the raging fire, tensions mounted in Jerusalem as a local Palestinian teenager, Mohammed Abu Khudair (17), was found dead, on early Wednesday, July 2, 2014, in what some fear may have been a reprisal attack for the killing of the three Jewish Israeli teenagers abducted in the West Bank. Ignoring international appeals for a ceasefire, Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets to include civilian institutions with suspected Hamas ties. On Wednesday, July 16, 2014, Israel agreed to a five-hour “humanitarian” pause in its 9-day-old bombardment of Gaza that has killed more than 200 Palestinians, including four boys struck on a beach by shells fired from a navy ship. Israel said it would hold its fire Thursday, July 17, 2014 from 10 a.m. under an UN-brokered plan to allow Palestinians to restock food, water and other necessities. But it vowed to retaliate “firmly and decisively” if Hamas or other militant groups launch attacks on Israel during that time. There was no word on whether there would be a similar lull from Palestinian militants. Israel previously had halted its fire for six hours Tuesday after Egypt put forward a cease-fire proposal that unravelled. Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said his group had formally rejected the plan, bemoaning what he called little support from the Arab world. But Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Wednesday in Cairo with a senior official from Hamas to try to salvage the Egyptian proposal. In Washington, President Barack Obama said the U.S. supports Egypts continued efforts to restore the 2012 ceasefire and will use all of its diplomatic resources and relationships to secure a deal to end the violence. Without getting into further excessive details and without reacting based on wild rage, it is clear to me that Israel is looking to cripple the Hamas organization with its current military campaign aimed at taking out Hamas’s ability to fire rockets at Israel. In my opinion, Hamas pride kicked in to reject the proposed Egyptian cease fire deal which was accepted by Israel because now we are more than 200 Palestinians short such that Hamas’s ego has been deeply wounded, such that Hamas is still looking to give Israel one strong low blow, so that Hamas can hear Israel cry like a wounded crow, as Hamas does not have the military might to enter into a Geneva Convention style, above board, military fight. That being said, if I were Israel, I would look to get a cease fire deal sealed before Hamas blows up the airport in Tel Aviv with a terrorist strike, completely out of spite, for the more than 200 Palestinians killed by Israel military might. In my opinion, this situation is now simmering on the border line of testing everyone’s fate as Hamas now seems focused on one more bloody shot to Israel’s head in order to avenge the more than 200 Palestinians who are now unfortunately dead. In my opinion, Hamas does not seem to think it is fair that Israel be allowed to kill Palestinians used as human shields for Hamas’s rocket arsenal but little does Hamas see that for every Israeli life, there seems to be 50 plus Palestinians that bleed, such that a ceasefire is in the best interest of all, but to the greatest interest of the Palestinians, who tend to get the short end of the stick because they do not have the sophisticated military arsenal to compete with Israel other than to give low blow kicks. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – XXXXXXXXIX” as the belief that Egypt’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is in everyone’s best interest before Hamas resorts to a terrorist blast to avenge the Palestinian blood of shields that refuse to kneel.
