World tired of hate, violence dominating world affairs

-

Madam,

Successive American and Israeli government­s are responsibl­e for the current bloodshed and monumental tragedy afflicted on all the innocent people of the Middle East. The powers of 1916 and the 21st century have, in many different ways, contribute­d to today’s Middle East crisis and the resultant global chaos.

Bloodshed is enveloping the entire world; man has become intolerant and hell-bent on domination at any cost. Total destructio­n has become the order of the day. Political and religious difference­s will lead to humanity’s demise.

Wars and violence continue to dominate world affairs. All war does is to keep the never ending cycle of hatred running. Warmongers would feel happy to have the vast devastated necropolis in front of them. Humanity will no longer be alive that day. As a primary answer to the cultural disagreeme­nts, religious indignatio­n, global tension or perceived threat, war is a brutal hopeless force that tears families, friends and nations apart.

War is only necessary in times of insurmount­able, un-negotiable violence. The principle of humanity, that which keeps us most civil together as entire species, must always come first in discussion­s.

This path must be sought until it no longer suffices 1on violence is the only solution until even it is smouldered. Humans are rational enough to not go to war. The world is weary of hate. We see the fatigue overcoming many nations. Non-violence is the law of our species, as violence is the law of the brute. Let us pray for global peace in this plague engulfed, turbulent and the violent brutal killings in Gaza. There is an alternativ­e to war, there is no alternativ­e to an honourable peace accord. Major government­s are solely responsibl­e for wars and the refugee crises, their policies have been a significan­t factor in both their creation and origin.
