“The blessings of society depend entirely on the constitutions of government..”
John Adams, 1776
Civilians within the United States, Israel, Palestine, and Iran, must be advocating citizens who do what they can from their individual positions to weave the necessary civility to prepare the way for a future of peace. In our American neighborhoods, we must exemplify what is that promise of liberty within our Declaration of Independence—that in Iran, Israel, and in Palestine it may be said that we have weaved together as one people under the banner of liberty and justice for all. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and in our heartland: Let the Iranian-American children play with the Israeli-American children. Let the Palestinian-American share tea and a meal with the Israeli-American.
Let our actions of brotherly love speak louder than the bombs and the rocks that fly through the air. Let them understand what it is that brings the American people, with all our different ethnicities, religions, creeds, and walks of life-together.
The actions of regular civilians matter, and in the block of opposing ideologies at the national level, it is the sitting down for tea that drives back the physical weapons of war back into their silos and strongholds.
Did you know that in Iran, abortion is constrained, limited, and rare? In America, our children have their life violently ended 3,000 times a day.
The Iranian people, as it was noticed in the televised ‘Arab Spring’ of December 2010 to December 2012, demonstrated to the world that the average Iranian citizen is interested in personal liberty, and a civil society wherein the sharing of ideas, and the advocacy of how to reshape their government and national quality of life places the people and their families first, in such a manner that creates peace, rather than division with its regional neighbors. Its government though; it can be observed, has motives to the contrary; allowing itself to maintain animosity that fuels an ideological opposition to the people and government of Israel.
- the land and government of Palestine is used as a militarized proxy stage by Iran to maintain a contrarian stance against Israel
- (1) A portion of the American Federal government is being purposefully ideologically impacted in strategic ways within the executive and legislative branches into acquiescing to softening and/ or blocking its own financial embargo’s against the Iranian government, and (2) also indirectly funding Iran’s militant proxy through payments to the United Nations. These are monies that can be and are reportedly (Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State & former Director for the C.I.A.) being used to purchase weapons as a threat against the Israeli people, and thus, prolong ethnic /political division, and the physical safety of both Palestinian and Israeli families.
To that end, as long as the United States government is ideologically shifted into the time distraction of appeasement and acquiescence; no responsible, civil discussion between Israel and Iran will create genuine regional peace, because the Iranian government is not willing to shift its prerogative. Peace is not its objective. Division and control is its agenda; and with the American government support effectively scuttled, it has none to little foreign geo-economic or military pressure to change its mind.
And this is their strategy: Politically isolate Israel and continue its stance of animosity and acrimony; thus destabilizing the peace, and once again, placing itself as a regional ideological power of opposition. Its a divisive strategy that needs not to conquer in order to achieve its goals of maintaining its proxy operations against Israel, and within the American government.
Is it possible that some of the objections of the Iranian regime, as an arbiter of Palestine can be answered, while the sovereignty of the nation-state of Israel is also respected? This would mean a two-state solution, of course. But with the military strength of the United States of America placed aside, the Iranian strategy of blocking a unified American support to Israel, the Jewish nation-state is left alone without real, military backing and outflanked in the international stage of public opinion.
