AT WAR WITH ITSELF .......

The Middle-East in its entirety  is proving itself in our times to be, the living paradigm par excellence of obscurantism, and religious intolerance , though it was the birth place of the God of Abraham and many religions . while its modern existence , chaotic, cruel and brutal as it is, with its different ignorant peoples and their different primitive beliefs, reenacting their lives according to the lowliest levels of civilized behaviors and existence, glorifying barbaric times of hegemony, and their mental and moral levels.  Again and unfortunately Iraq, Syria, Israel , Lebanon, Yemen and others to name just a few , come to mind.

When States behave with the same instincts of individual people, without any restraints , while submitting its citizenry to restraints of various degrees, while individuals who claim to impose and submit themselves to morals and laws, only to find the same States representing them break those same rules because of lack of higher international force or law, or even global moral codes to impose limits to it, or stop it .

The ten Commandments must be silenced nowadays, when national interests are at stake , in today's Israel, the States hegemony and the aggrandizement of Zionist Israel , its colonialism and supremacy are shutting down all commandments , morality, plurality and common sense. Syria is on the same exact footage with its enemies and allies, as are all Theocracies of the region .

More people around the world today, enjoy living in its today, compared to its yesterday. With peace, civility and a future to look for, for themselves and their descendents, Something lacking in today's Middle-East. Whereby most groups and individuals enjoy playing God and divinity, prosecuting, judging and executing all at once. It's always Divine. The M-E people live and bury themselves in their past history, past glories, past religions, and never in their future .

The cold , hard reality of the situation in the entirety of the Middle-East, is that violence, bloodshed, chaos and cruelty continue unabated, while its civilian and armed populations continue with no real aim, in a state of schizophrenic total madness, with conflicting religious , sectarian, economical and ideological differences, with a total misreading of realities, and futuristic reasoned reflections and debate . The whole scene of the actual M-E, is unfortunately, colored in solid  shades of grey, and no end in view for the short future.

While the dead and victims all over, are numbered by the hundreds and sometimes thousands daily, each and every side , official or popular keep pointing to the other side, for responsibility and culpability of the ongoing craze . The sad truth about the whole M-E is that it's in no one's interests to stop, on the contrary ; it should continue and never end, as most keep repeating .

Taking sides in the nowadays M-E. is identically parallel and tantamount to abandoning any sane reasoning , or common sense . The hard truth about the M-E. in its entirety regardless of the outcome of any or all of its tragic injustices, is that it will emerge destroyed, impoverished and live in brutality and cruelty for long decades to come .      

My usual many thanks , for reading and helping reach other readers .
            

AS OLD AS THE BIBLES ........

All  religions in their relative modern paths and development , evolved and kept a good distance ahead of the two close cousins , " Judaism and Islam ". Whereby both , historically and presently have killed the good Gods,and kept alive and nourished the evil Gods . They both nowadays adhere by and cherish " Good is what survives, conquer and win "  and  " Bad is the looser and that which goes under."  It's applied to all walks of religious  influenced life , everywhere , with cruelty and uncultured primitiveness .

Jews gave and indoctrinated Islam with much of its rituals, sober daily functions, folklore, and lower popular philosophies . Way more structured, somber and in control,  than what is now professed by modern Christianity, or many other. It is mainly the reason why Islam is on a similar and close path of hegemony and unchecked criminality in its modern conquests of old dreams of past glory. Proudly using the same vile maxim of the old masters ; "All for ourselves , and nothing for other people". It explains very well the possible eventual rapprochement between Jewish Israel and Sunni theocracies, rather than The Christian West, or semi atheist Russia or China .....

Religions throughout history invariably proved themselves soulless ,  not having any strong connections with morality and civility .  If it was fear of the unknown that first created and helped shape the Gods, modern religious pseudo fervor is surely destroying those same Gods, and their legacies. Folklore and archaic rituals , through sacrifice, incantations, prayers and offerings, dress codes, food and drinks prohibitions, all backed by a reliance  on priests, rabbis and sheikhs , is only preventing the proper use of human progressive intelligence and correct perception .

Judaism  through the years , was the main force for generations of parents , to teach , discipline and instill fears and rituals to support morality and preserve the vital forces of its people . Only when the laws of God, religion and selfishness became a force equal and sometimes rival to states , and their rulers , were Jews historically and in many geographical spots, were prosecuted , exiled and in some instances put to death .

Although Hebraic institutions, as well as Islamic ones, served to bring about their many modern political states, they all invariably ended claiming to stand above all other states and humans , negating any human logic , compassion or plurality , indoctrinating all their youths that fervor, religiosity and patriotism are above any other consideration. Forcing their young ones to maintain total loyalty to dogmas serving their theocracies and autocracies through greed, crime and hate . Claiming  divine origins and spiritual hegemony over all others, even using state sponsored brutality, rubbery and theft, greed and dishonesty, collective apartheid and colonialism.

This has been the trend lately of many religious entities, especially around the Middle-East , an area divided between mostly Islamic peoples in different sects and tribes , Jews form different tribes and origins sharing or trying to, the same natural resources of small areas , plus a remaining panoramic pannier of small different religious sects and denominations , scattered historically  in between , clinging to a gone prosperity.  All, unfortunately and always, subsiding on the existence and well being of their neighbors . Lebanon, Syria, Israel and many others in the region are but a few  perfect examples.
