The solution to the Israel/Gaza war.

In face of yesterday’s global protests against Israeli attack on Gaza I found an article that puts things into an alternative perspective: “The Hollow Sound of Anti-Israel Protests”. It seems to justify Israeli attack on Gaza and portray Israeli strategy as the more positive one, which is something I don’t quite agree with, but it does point out an apparent lack of innocence on part of Hamas, which continuously espouses violent ways of solving the problem, apparently involving obliteration of all Jews.

I of course blame both the Israeli government and Hamas, for both are in fact terrorist mafias whom see violence as an acceptable way of solving perceived problems. Everything else is just a variation on the theme. Israeli forcefully imposes it’s fantasy of “jurisdiction” on to private palestinian property owners in a continuous campaign of terror. Hamas then imposes itself as the so called protector of these same palestinians, whether they asked for it or not, and then goes to bomb Israeli people and yet again provoke a violent response. And this goes on and on and would go on until either all israeli in the area or all palestinians, or at least members of Hamas, are obliterated. The way these people think about solutions, the only real solution is genocide.

Neither are the average palestinian and israeli people all that innocent, for their belief in violence as a sometimes morally justified way of solving problems is what fuels both Hamas and Israeli. If people stopped believing in violence without compromise, and therefore stopped believing in their governments as coercive entities, there would hardly be anyone left to wage a war. To stop believing in violent solutions is to open your eyes to all of the ways in which the problem can be settled peacefully.

And in fact, since to stop believing in all violence means to stop believing into such bullshit as jurisdiction, public property and collectivism, a big part of the whole problem would disappear by itself. There is then no border or claimed territories to bicker over. There are only individuals and their private property. Some of them may call themselves palestinian and others Israeli, but even that ceases to matter as much as it did.

The belief in violence as an acceptable way of dealing with those with whom you have a dispute with is the fundamental cause of all war, including this one. Complete rejection of this belief is the only solution. Voluntaryism.
