  1. The first thing I want to say to you, Sam Harris, and to you Yuval Noah Harari, is that I believe you have both made the world a better place. You both speak your minds and your thoughts come often resonate from your hearts and pass through your souls to us on many, many issues that perplex modern society. The second thing I want to offer is my condolences to Yuval and his family and friends who have lost loved ones, friends, and fellow Israelis on the 7 October attacks. To quote Roosevelt: a day that will go down in infamy and never fade from the conscience of Israelis and the Jewish people and the world community. If I may, here is my opinion on what has to be done to change some things in the region. Yuval has stated that the Arab nations refuse to accept Israel as a sovereign state and this must change. This shows to me that the Arab mindset is set in concrete and nothing good will come of continuing with this refusal to accept Israel's right to exist. Next: Gaza can and never will be trusted by Israeli's living on the border with Gaza or even deep into Israel and this is where I have an idea how to kill two dilemmas with two beautiful words: wildlife sanctuary. Yes; that's right: you hear me correctly. Gaza must be transformed from the blood-soaked battleground of warring factions and a population of people living in deplorable conditions to a nature reserve for saving endangered species of plant, animal and aquatic life. This could become the Galapagos of the middle east and bring in more tourists than the pyramids. Israelis, Egyptians, Palestinians and all neighboring states could put their differences behind them and work together to save the many, many species on the verge of extinction. Our progeny would echo heartfelt thanks to us for sending them a wildlife reserve with faun and fauna brought back from extinction. This is an example of what could be accomplished: there are only 6 black tigers known to exist, for example. We could save this species by allowing them to reproduce in a protected nature reserve! The key to this dream of mine of course comes with a caveat many will say is more like a noose: a proper homeland for the Palestinians must be the cherry on the cake and this is of course where the good ship I am sailing on runs aground. Because we are going to need to re-think and re-draw some boundaries and give up some land so that the Palestinians can all live proudly on enough land to house their entire population. To recap: an ecological buffer zone must be created by evacuating Palestinians from Gaza which has been called an open prison to their own country, a patch of land that no one can claim but them and Gaza must be transformed into an oasis of the middle east cum Galapagos that would allow the deep wounds to heal that both the Israelis and the Palestinians bear from a conflict whose root cause is basically a border dispute that can only be resolved by taking dramatic steps and perhaps even using harsh methods to achieve an everlasting peace in the region. Arabs will be willing to accept Israel as a sovereign state once they see their Palestinian brothers and sisters living on their own in peace. All Arab nations and Israelis must understand that the road to peace is by listening to each other as neighbors first and use nature reserves to be buffer zones on contested lands because no one will attack a wildlife sanctuary. This Gaza war must and can be resolved with words and logic and wisdom.

  2. ​ @OtagesBringthemhome_NOW GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. It's clearly the million-dollar question and once it has been answered, there will certainly be a change in the mindset of all concerned. What I see as the only solution is that all Palestinians must have their own stretch of land and that's where the greater Arab Community comes in. There is silence coming from the Arab nations around the Gaza war and no one is offering a helping hand. This is where the UN comes in why Guterres is missing the target completely by staying in the background. What should be is that all business in the UN takes a backseat to the Gaza war and that a Palestinian state is redrawn from existing boundaries. This sounds daft coming from where we stand today, but there has to be some pain before we make any gain. We need someone to open the discussion about carving out enough land for a proper country for these poor people who are living atrociously and inhumanely while others look on as if it were a circus show.

  3.  @basedgenxexpat  GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. Happy New Year is the only way to start! What both sides want has to be taken into account. I have tossed my idea out there for a peace plan and we all know how 'peace plans' seem to get filed away as soon as they appear. But, I want those kids in every country in the region to have what I had when I was growing up: a 100% pure golden childhood.
