Bloody playground

Two-hundred thousand years of humanity is littered with folklore of neighbor-to-neighbor conquest for every reason from "oh, pillaging feels good," to "my God is supreme," to the psychopathology of manifest destiny.\nBut those claims to national shame no longer have an audience in the global community, considering that human beings need one another to exist.\n"We the (world's) people" are responsible for setting the international tone in regards to liberty, justice and freedom for all. Moreover, humanity's obligation to her children and grandchildren is to prove that face-to-face dialogue within communities and the global political sphere -- in the name of "human being" goodwill -- can and will conquer all social oppression, government tyranny and terror -- at home or abroad.\nBut have we?\n"We the (world's) people" have subjected ourselves and continue to perpetuate, instead, an international climate of hostility that has killed hundreds of millions of human beings around the globe and will kill millions more of our children and grandchildren. And for what?\nNational security is no defense at all if nations like America and Israel continue to stockpiles hordes of weapons of mass destruction aimed at their neighbors as a tool of coercion. First-world empires must stop building their industries off the despair and inhumanity of "developing" countries.\nMight humanity rise from the ashes of retribution -- because terror is always unjustified, and diplomacy can only work when both sides are willing to meet halfway at the negotiating table? \nAnd diplomacy is not one-way demands, but halfway agreements built upon genuine concession -- like a Middle East cease-fire -- once we sit together.\nHezbollah and Hamas, after all, were born as "populist resistance movements" to defend the Lebanese and Palestinian people against continued Israeli aggression, invasions and further occupation of Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. Israel has even gone so far to create a Warsaw-like ghetto out of the West Bank -- and who else besides "terrorists" are willing to defend Palestinian air, sea and land?\nNeither America nor Israel is intent on a peaceful Middle East international playground -- they wish to increase the Arab and Muslim bloodletting until the entire region is a magnificent killing field so they can justify imperialist-guided regime change in both Syria and Iran. Humanity has had 50 years to solve Israel's "right to exist," and instead of helping feed our neighbors, we continue to build walls of separation between us.\nIf America led the international community in nation-building countries not destroyed by our tax-payer war toys or decimated by the effects of our intended international isolation, what benefit will we receive?\nGenuine national security in the long-run.\nOur international leaders are either part of the genocidal problem or the solution. "We the (world's) people" need not face extinction evermore because our policy-makers believe their God justifies violence instead of advocating forgiveness and compassion.\nMight our international community witness, instead, the rebirth of humanity through a lens not tainted by cycles of destroyed infrastructure, ravaged populaces and plundered natural resources? Who will save humanity from human beings?
