The Gaza Strip has been a hotbed of conflict for years, with frequent eruptions of violence between Israel and Palestinian factions. In recent weeks, the region has seen a significant escalation in hostilities, with hundreds of rockets being fired into Israel and extensive airstrikes on Gaza in retaliation.
The situation has once again brought into focus the need for a longer ceasefire to create stability and peace in the region. But what would it take for such a ceasefire to actually happen?
First and foremost, both sides would need to demonstrate a genuine commitment to peace and a willingness to engage in meaningful dialogue. This would require a significant shift in mindset, as both Israel and the Palestinian factions have long been entrenched in their respective positions and have often been unwilling to make concessions.
International pressure and mediation could also play a crucial role in facilitating a longer ceasefire. The United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and other influential actors could use their leverage to push for a sustainable solution to the conflict. This would involve not only brokering a ceasefire but also addressing the underlying issues that have fueled the violence, such as the blockade of Gaza, the status of Jerusalem, and the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Furthermore, efforts to rebuild trust and confidence between the two sides would be essential. Confidence-building measures could include prisoner exchanges, easing restrictions on the movement of people and goods, and engaging in joint economic and infrastructure projects. These steps could help to create a more positive atmosphere and demonstrate a commitment to coexistence and cooperation.
A longer ceasefire would also require a commitment to addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The enclave has been plagued by shortages of essential goods and services, high unemployment, and a crumbling infrastructure. International aid and support for reconstruction and development efforts would be crucial in addressing these challenges and creating the conditions for a lasting peace.
Ultimately, the path to a longer ceasefire in Gaza would be difficult and fraught with obstacles. It would require bold leadership, a willingness to make difficult compromises, and a long-term vision for peace and prosperity in the region. But it is not impossible. With the right combination of political will, international support, and a genuine commitment to peace, a longer ceasefire in Gaza could become a reality. And it is a reality worth striving for, for the sake of the people of Gaza, Israel, and the entire region.
why no one try to help all children and old people out from thats war and bring them to peace country? it will save their mental health and their health because the conditions in shelters are increasingly more dangerous to their lives than on the battlefield, UN must do thats
The world leaders must put real pressure on Israel. Where is the humanity, leaders, look beyond your financial gain And act from your humanity to help this oppressed people.
Gideon Levy is an excellent expert to have on board and he's on the ground in Israel and can offer alternatives including international administration of Gaza, exile of Hamas, build internal capacity, think Salam Fayyed.
It was a normal life before oct7, then hamas happened
Michael is warning Arab muslim countries surrounding areas too back off , he's waiting for Europe , Russia , India , China , to come and get some on mount Megiddo Armageddon a march on Jerusalem worlds secular atheist governments who want to divide up and partisan the land of Canaan
Israel has proven a point home too Palestinian people and that is never trust muslim countries surrounding areas moral support their leadership backs Hamas while Hamas is no match all by themselves against Michael dummies
Palestinians are victims of antisemitism too, antisemitism has no bounds , limits , or capacity to slow down it's a disease antisemitism is it's not a demon it's a human disease in the heart ❤️ and brain a sickness that's in a terminal velocity
Hamas is the government of GAza , if they are taking care Palestinians .. don’t start a war that they cannot take on … they sacrifice their citizen because of their agenda.
"My daughter felt like a queen in Gaza. In general, she acknowledges feeling like the center of the world." WOW!! How the conduct of the Palestinians powerfully contrast with that of the Israelis. How Danielle's emotional
letter of heartfelt gratitude greatly contradicts and conflicts Israel's and West's disparaging, dehumanizing view of the Palestinians. Justice must be served for the disadvantaged Palestinians; this the global south must do – western powers, being inherently racist, cannot be trusted to do this.
God bless Israel! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
This is in context to the discussion that the young group of ladies was having in Mexico on the live stream which also applies to Palestine and any other democratic society I'm not trying to be a colonialist but if anybody else has got any better ideas I'm all ears and know I'm not a fan of government particularly but it's better than nothing they provide some protection by providing the police to enforce the democratic laws
Certainly, democracy isn't flawless, and I share that sentiment. Imagine if we had a different monetary system—one that didn't breed this environment of rampant selfishness and money-driven pursuits. It's like everyone's in this constant race for money because, let's face it, without it, having a stable home becomes a major concern. If we could reshape our collective mentality about how we think about money that is imposed on us, we could alleviate some of the pressure that turns people solely money-focused and selfish.
This constant struggle for money, especially when it's scarce, creates an environment ripe for corruption, even within the government. We really need to reconsider and reimagine our approach to the monetary system. It's not just about tweaking the current one; it's about creating an entirely new, more equitable system—one that isn't bound by the limitations of scarcity. If we break free from the confines of a finite monetary model, we might open doors to a more just and sustainable economic landscape.
Money serves as a central player in the ongoing ideological tug-of-war between the far left and the far right. The struggle for control and distribution of resources, often mediated through economic policies, fuels the discord. The far left tends to emphasize wealth redistribution and social equality, viewing money as a tool for collective well-being. Meanwhile, the far right often champions individual success and free-market capitalism, perceiving money as a measure of personal achievement.
This monetary-centric conflict becomes a source of contention, magnifying societal divisions. Recognizing the pivotal role of money in shaping these ideological battles underscores the need for a nuanced dialogue that addresses economic disparities and seeks common ground for a more inclusive and equitable future.
Drug cartels deal drugs because they are in severe economic situations where they have no other choice and the world turns a blind eye to this and think that we can throw police at the problem and solve the problem when a new person will just replace the person that's been arrested because they've got the same problems it is continues and continues and continues and continues why do we turn up blind eye to these things and make these kinds of things taboo I mean let's talk about alternative monetary systems why is that a taboo is it easier just to say people must get a job instead of dealing drugs when they are no jobs and they don't even have skills to get jobs because of generational impoverishment people must get real
Organic job at McDonald's where it doesn't really make it huge difference working at McDonald's because the wages of for popular the cost of living and I can go on and on there are many examples that people think they can solve with education and schools that cost money that people don't have to send their children to schools
Parents in African countries who work in the mines say that they work in the mind so that they can give their children a better life but it turns out that they earn such a little let the children have to come work a day or two in the mind to earn enough to buy a a textbook never mind school close school fees and food and so on and forth
And this is just one example on one continent there are many other countries on other continents that have similar circumstances of miss scale even so-called first world countries who like to make the comparison between 3rd and first world
Greetings most esteemed Al Jazeera news team this is in context with Gideon Levy's new plan that is required for the people in other words he was talking about setting a new a new framework for an alternative mentality than the current mental construct that they currently have and they need some leadership so if you could pass this reporter from Tel Aviv and let him amplified if he can
To foster a paradigm shift in the Israeli mentality towards resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, a new framework could emphasize a proactive approach centered on peace and coexistence. Here's a suggested outline for this transformative perspective:
1. *Humanitarian Focus:*
Encourage a shift from a militaristic mindset to a humanitarian one. Emphasize the importance of recognizing the shared humanity between Israelis and Palestinians, promoting empathy and understanding.
2. *Advocacy for Diplomacy:*
Instead of seeking the elimination of their Palestinian counterparts, promote diplomatic channels as the primary means of conflict resolution. Advocate for meaningful dialogue and negotiations to address grievances and find common ground.
3. *International Collaboration:*
Foster a mentality that values collaboration with the international community. Encourage Israel to actively engage with global organizations, diplomatic entities, and peacekeeping efforts to find sustainable solutions.
4. *Human Rights and Justice:*
Prioritize human rights and justice for all individuals involved. Advocate for fair treatment, equality, and justice, addressing grievances through legal and ethical frameworks rather than perpetuating cycles of violence.
5. *Educational Reforms:*
Introduce educational reforms that provide a balanced and nuanced understanding of the historical context, fostering critical thinking and open dialogue. Encourage a curriculum that promotes peace, tolerance, and coexistence.
6. *Leadership Development:*
Recognize the need for inspiring leadership. Encourage the emergence of leaders who prioritize peace, diplomacy, and long-term stability. Foster a new generation of leaders committed to breaking the cycle of conflict.
7. *Community Engagement:*
Empower local communities to actively participate in peace-building efforts. Promote grassroots initiatives that bridge divides, facilitate dialogue, and cultivate relationships between Israelis and Palestinians at a community level.
8. *Media Responsibility:*
Encourage responsible media reporting that avoids sensationalism and contributes to fostering understanding. Promote narratives that highlight shared aspirations for peace rather than perpetuating divisive rhetoric.
By adopting this framework, there's potential to redirect the collective Israeli mindset towards a more constructive, peace-oriented path. It's essential to acknowledge the complexities of the situation and work towards fostering a climate where both Israelis and Palestinians can coexist and thrive.
The final solution cannot be more occupation oppression violence arrested held without trial for years
The final solution must be a peaceful democracy with laws in place that prevent any bias racism Zionism anti-semitism and any hate speech against each other the only way forward is co-existence and to transcend their current state of conditioned being the Israeli people must transcend their current state of contrition to being a that is what they are looking for by suggesting another plan or framework for an exit out of this completely unnecessary war
Liberation is the remedy no cease fire nor peace deal will bring peace till justice is served
I think it's very sad this even happen in 2023 .
If hammas are smart they should change there plans and see reason so who is left will live to see another day .
Because Israel is brutal ,they are no joke friends.
Remember, Palestinians: More Jewish people defended you than the coward arab leaders. Remember that. Their cowardice is repulsive.
He can stop the war any human being with a shred of decency would put their EGO aside
Anyone could see those white clothed bundles are dead children or what's left of them. If the U.S. can't stop this carnage urgently then it wouldn't have an empire because brutal regime just don't last very long. Nobody knows what the exit strategy, not U.S. nor Israel so it could fly off the handle soon enough. God help us all !
It’s crazy there calling Palestinians refugees in there own country 🤦🏿♂️
Remember out of those 15k innocent lives that was murdered 8K are CHILDREN
How is this even a war. It's a Massacre
