Given that the main causes of the crisis in the Middle East are the reluctance of many Arab states to tolerate a non-Arab (or even Muslim) state as a neighbor and the Israelis' insistence on living, I don't see how any solution could be found. Perhaps if the people of Israel would come to peace and accept their extermination (as they are indirectly or even directly called to do by progressive people from every corner of the planet) the situation could be somewhat smoothed out but it is a matter of bare heads: the Israelis want to save and good for them to continue to live and have a state.

AHEAD of a war conflict in the Middle East, systematic anti-Westernism, which includes anti-Semitism, claims to become the dominant interpretation in Greece as well. Just as, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, an effort was made to prevail with an inexpensive pacifism, which equated the aggressor with the defender. Some forces, in fact, put the blame exclusively on Ukraine, accusing it of being an agent of the Western world, NATO, the USA and Europe. That is why, after all, on the day of the Russian invasion, the KKE organized a march from the Russian embassy to the American embassy with the dominant slogan "Americans, murderers of the people".
The Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post published an editorial-anthem on the importance of the unity of the people of Israel in the paper of 2.8.2024. His translation was published by "Kurdisto Orange".
Thus, the Jerusalem Post writes, among other things:
Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) wisely points out that there is a time for everything – “There is a time to kill and a time to heal. Time to tear down and time to build."

What should a state do to inspire respect and fear? To consistently prove that it can defend its borders, its citizens and punish its enemies in an exemplary manner.
At the same time, all this should be done under a democratic government that works flawlessly and with an economy in which leaps and miracles take place.
Maybe someone will say I'm photographing it Israel. The issue here is not whether that state is Israel, but whether we agree on the above specifications for a serious state.
If we agree, we proceed to subject the facts, the reality, to the above characteristics.
