Julius Ceasar said,""Veni, Vedi, Vici!" (I came, I saw, I conquered)
But after watched lot of modern wars,I changed that famous sentence a bit.
"Veni, Vedi, Velcro" (I came, I saw, I stuck around)
Never ending conflicts between Israel and Hamas,Sri Lankan defence vs LTTE(Now they can celebrate Silver Jublee for their Ongoing conflicts!!!)
War in Afghanistan,Iraq War etc...currently causing at least 1,00,000 violent deaths per year.
Today,Top Israeli officials have vowed to continue attacks on Hamas, as Israeli air strikes pounded the Gaza Strip for a third day.
About 320 Palestinians have died since Saturday.
Unfortunately Israeli military always focus on the civilians. It is easy for them.
Ethics and morals are so important that when a nation goes to war, the cause must be seen by its citizens as moral; otherwise, the public will not support the war.
When two neighbors disagree over a property, the law commands them to negotiate rather than resort to violent action. However, governments eagerly justify violence to solve external conflicts with other nations who are seen as “threats.”
How can we tell two neighbors who disagree over land not to use violence to draw their borders, but justify it as a nation? How can we say, “turn the other cheek” and then be so quick to cry “vengeance!” when someone attacks our country?
How can we teach people to think intensely before taking violent action while being hasty as a nation in deciding to destroy villages and bomb cities?
How can we teach that all human beings are the same, but value the life of few national soldiers over the lives of four-hundred “enemy” civilians?
This is the paradox we create about ethics and morality.
We have replaced coexistence, love, humanity, cooperation, dialogue and reconciliation, tolerance and compassion, truth and respect, sameness and forgiveness with justifications for war. In return, war has given us indifference, violence, hatred, revenge, lies and empty rationalizations.
At one time, maybe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was about security, freedom and stability. But now, it is a bitter conflict that dwells in the hearts. Now, it is a consuming hatred that darkens everything and veils all hope of peace. It is a wall of ignorance and pride. It is a dehumanization of the people behind the wall. And it is a desire to kill and hurt without being hindered by guilt.
