Less than two weeks ago , the world and some of its leaders were commemorating in France the 100 hundreds anniversary of the end of WW1, with its many millions of victims, military and civilians, innocent bystanders or fighting soldiers, why does it seem today as if the world didn't learn anything at all from this episode or other similar brutal barbaric wars, before and after .
Meanwhile in Europe , the latest calls of president Macron of France and chancellor Merkel of Germany, for a unified European army and a European security council, are clear indications of the general worldwide insecurity, panic and highly contagious aggressivity, contrary to the unified European message of tolerance and acceptance, and cooperation in fairness in an open world. It's mostly addressed to Superpowers, their leaders, and their future plans and strategies .
Inspired by few words of the brilliant Yuval Harari ; We need a global identity , as national institutions are obviously incapable of handling global predicaments and challenges. Looking at most of our actual political leaders throughout the world, will confirm this idea. We must globalize our minds and politics. The same when most people are loyal simultaneously to their immediate families, tribes, to their neighborhoods and their professions, to their countries and nations, and their skin colours , we need to add loyalty to humankind and planet earth to the list. It surely complicates a little our life and obligations, but it's a necessary price for the survival of the planet and its speeches .
Some political acts, even intentions, are punishable as crimes under international law. Planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, are crimes. As well as murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation and other inhuman acts like unmeasured brutality, torture or flagrant apartheid, perpetrated against any civilian population, or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds. All of the above, are defined and listed as crimes against humanity, and are punishable by international law and standards.
Meanwhile, and in a bitter and sarcastic irony, several world leaders, were commemorating in Paris France, the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1, including Mr. Trump, Netanyahu, Macron, Putin and May. These same leaders are responsible directly or by continuity of atrocious wars, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Libya, Yemen and several other spots. They and their predecessors, are considered war criminals under international laws !!! All have blood on their hands, they all have future plans of wars, and are actively preparing for it. Iran, North Korea, Palestine, South Sudan, and several other unfinished and unsettled conflicts, like Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, Africa and South America.
What on earth were they commemorating ??? All of these leaders are guilty of preparing and embarking upon perpetual and ultimate worldwide adventures, and horrific weaponry for it. Dragging the entire world into unpredictable destruction which threatens the future of humanity. What on earth were they commemorating in Paris ???
My as always, many thanks to all ....
