Couple days ago I , E-mailed some friends an article called ;" Israel & Syria , plan B is to Balkanise from Yinon to Yaalon. " http://original.antiwar.com/
One comment was sent from my son Bassel . I thought to blog his short reflections , one other from a good friend and mine .
Bassel; " you know pops , for the first time ever in my life , after reading this article , I actually can agree with the Israeli-minded "plan B", Now I realize that plan B is greatly in action due to direct actions of Israel and the U.S. and other Western countries who have , for years , played out their different variations of plan A , and puppeteered all over Arab countries . But the Arabs have greatly played into this , and it is the Arabs who repeatedly do not get along with each other . Or anyone else who does not agree with their principles , and continue the fighting amongst each other .
So why not let them continue their lives in a tribal setting , living by their standards and not joining the Western world and the civilized world . Now in the end , this might interfere with Western politics and conquests of ( land , products , trade etc...) , but maybe we do need to let them split from political states , and do their own things . It would destabilize the region , and make it harder for them to be true enemies to the rest of us , and maybe the few of them who make it to the top can re-establish themselves in the global economy and civilization ".
Me ; An excellent short and to the point reply mon ami , I somehow agree !!! You know in our parts , we had a saying that goes like this " Fekhar ye casser ba'adou " , fekhar in Arabic means terra-cotta or pottery , so it comes to " let pottery break pottery " or stupid kill stupid or fekhar break fekhar and itself.
The only sad and unfortunate part of all of this is for someone like me , who came from these parts , lived there and had dreams there , even truly believed at certain times in a possible large and prosperous secular Arab nation , and an Arab open and non religious entity , it's hard for me to just simply accept and live with what's taking place in my old world . But facts are facts , and I'm enough of a pragmatist to admit realities . Still it's harsh to see one part , my part , totally disintegrate and its enemies totally prosper and win .
Bassel ; "yeah ,and I agree to some extent that Israel is not always doing the right thing either , as I totally disagree with their politics and actions against Palestine , and their treatment of Palestinian people and lands . But in the end , non of the other Arabs give any care at all to the Palestinian people or their plight , at the hand of the "enemy " , because they can only see their immediate enemies who are just next to them .... and so the Israelis are somewhat correct when they say that they don't have an immediate threat from Arabs , as Arabs are too busy killing each other and destroying themselves .
Marwan , a good old European friend had this to say ; " So , there is method to this madness ."
I will add , yes my friend , I now believe there is , and it's been planned and in the making for quiet some times , for many years at least .
My very sincere thanks for reading and helping in spreading the word .
What a terrible point of view.
ReplyDelete"fikhar ykasser baado?"
us and them?
The Middle East is Broken, Guess who broke it? it began with the US's unwarranted ( I am being as polite as can be) invasion and destruction of a country that was called Iraq. A vacuum was created and the US walked away to let whoever wish fight it out. Where I come from there is a saying..."You break it, you buy it" that is you fix it.
Yes this catastrophic scenario is possibly great for you who live far far away, but countries are being destroyed. These are real people with real families that have been made to suffer through no fault of their own.
The Arab world is broken and we do see the writing on the wall and the worst has not yet even arrived, so good for the West who may think "Fifhar ykassr baado" but there is a guilty party here, and they are getting away scot free.
