When Does All The Violence, Stop?
Peace Now!
Unbelievable, That This War Is Still Going On. For Almost, A Century!
It’s Not Just About, Israel, Or Palestine. It Is About, Innocent People On Both Sides Getting Killed And Badly Injured! People cannot help what nationality they are born, or where.
What is happening in Israel and Palestine really makes me sad, concerning, all involved.
They are both; Israelis and Palestinians, victims and it’s time it stopped. Israel and Palestine Conflict October 2023 The Armed Conflict Location And Event Data Project (ACLED)
Israeli-Palestine Conflict History
Note To: Whomever, Responsible For All This Violence And Madness;
I’m not blaming only Israel; regarding these long-existing hostilities. I blame everyone. Including, those who have opposed and attacked Israel in the past. And those, who continue this violence.
If They’re Not For Peace, They’re Wrong!
Really, what is, the genius (not), plan anyway? To shoot rockets, missiles at each other forever?
As an Orthodox Rabbi’s Great-Granddaughter, Israelis, are my people. I won’t let terrorists and politics destroy them, or Israel!
Or destroy anyone else, who are non-combatants. Regardless of nationality, or religion! Civilians everywhere: old people, women, children are all, off-limits. Geneva Conventions
*Peace in Israel and Palestine (Gaza), is something that the United Nations and the other political world leaders need to take care of.
Especially, the political leaders in the Middle East. They all need to make it clear that they will not tolerate any more violence or attacks against Israel. Including shooting missiles at Israel.
It’s time all these Middle Eastern Countries got smart and stopped fighting, over what is literally, “a desert!”
Make it known policy; that should terrorists continue the violence, they will not just have trouble with Israel and the Western countries. They will also have trouble from those in the Middle East. After all, “reputation is everything.”
This violence makes all these Middle East Politicians, (leaders) look stupid, for allowing or supporting terrorism and could be very costly financially, in business relations with the West.
Someone Needs To Tell Them, “Stop The Violence!”

My Father, Was Jewish And My Mother Was Irish.
My Grandmother, Sarah, was an Orthodox Rabbi's Daughter.
Her Father, my Great-Grandfather was an Orthodox Rabbi who immigrated from Latvia to the US with his Wife and Daughters, late 1870’s.
I can prove I'm Jewish. Only the Levites, kept written records, (of Rabbis).

Historically, the majority of Israeli Jews, are from the Islamic world in Asia and North Africa. Wikipedia
Nearly half of all Israeli Jews are descended from Jews who made aliyah from Europe, while around the same number are descended from Jews who made Aliyah from Arab countries, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia. Over two hundred thousand are, or are descended from, Ethiopian and Indian Jews.
With the majority of them being descendants of the 680,000 Jews who fled Arab countries, due to expulsions, and antisemitism, with smaller numbers having immigrated from the Islamic Republics of the Former Soviet Union (250,000), India (70,000), Iran (200,000–250,000), Turkey (80,000). Before the immigration of over 1,000,000 Russian mainly Ashkenazi Jews to Israel after to collapse of the Soviet Union, 70% of Israeli Jews were Sephardic or Mizrahi Jews.
The European immigrants were not settlers. They were refugees. Initially, they came from the Russian Empire, where they were impoverished, discriminated against, persecuted, subjected to repeated outbreaks of brutal violence.
Over 2.5 million Jews left Eastern Europe before WWI, more than 2 million of them were accepted as immigrants in the US and others went to a variety of places including the Ottoman Empire’s provinces in what later became Israel.
In 1921, the US began to close its doors to these immigrants, but the situation in Europe was getting worse.
In the new nation-states of Eastern Europe, like Hungary and Poland, laws discriminated against Jews in employment and education. In Russia, thousands of Jews died in the civil wars connected to the Russian Revolution.
Riots and pogroms caused more death and misery throughout the region. And Nazism was on the rise.
With the US closed, there were few places where Jews could escape. The British Mandate of Palestine was one. The Jews who managed to get there between WWI and WWII were not settlers, they also, were refugees.
After WWII, the Jews who left Europe were the survivors of the Holocaust, deprived of family, property and human dignity. They were held in displaced persons camps, until they could be helped to reach the US or Israel.
The Ottoman Empire, which ruled the area that became Israel until 1917, was a large, multi-ethnic empire, part of the European world, with an organized government, a system of laws, and well-developed religious institutions.
Jews were not strangers to the Ottoman Empire. It was home to as many as 500,000 Jews.
Half the population of Salonika was Jewish. About a third of the population of Baghdad was Jewish.
In the area now controlled by Israel, important Jewish communities lived in Jerusalem, Safed, and Hebron as well as other towns.
These communities had maintained contact with Jews elsewhere over the centuries.
Safed, in particular, was a center of religious study.
The Ottoman Empire had a history of welcoming Jewish refugees.
When Spain expelled the Jews in 1492, the Sultan sent ships to bring them to his empire.
Repeatedly over the centuries, Jews turned to the area that is now Israel when they needed to find refuge.
British Mandate of Palestine was the official League of Nations and Mandate policy to receive Jewish refugees as one of the purposes for which the mandate was created. Israel was founded with that purpose in mind.

Elie Wiesel "Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders become irrelevant. Whenever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must, at that moment, become the center of the universe."

Because in my life; back when I was “young and dumb,” hundreds of people took the time to care and help me. So, I feel compelled, to help the world!
No matter to me if the bad guys, don’t like it.
I’ve been fighting bad guys all my adult-life. (“bar bruiser” types, where I'm from).
I’m from Bayonne / Hudson County, NJ. Right across the Hudson River, from New York City.
In Bayonne, there used to be a bar on every corner. Actually, my Father, owned several.
It was a tough town. Even back in the old days, (I refer to the 70’s. 80’s, 90’s).
A bunch of bar brawlers, ruled.
Every bar was a kingdom and every bar owner, was, a king. Bad news-bars in the inner city.
These types; taught today's kids, all about violence. Except these kids are sold the lie that drugs are good. Like they did to my generation in the sixties. I watched it happening over 35 years.
It’s all “learned behavior,” when they saw these guys getting away with it, more people followed their example. NJ.com Hudson County Even in a small town like Bayonne, guns, hold-ups, shootings, murders, etc. And in Jersey City, (town next door) a young person has been, getting shot, or killed, at least once a week.
Since our gov’t is unable to stop this, I have made it *one of my personal missions to help these young people. “Been there, could have, done that.” The voice of experience. I’ve seen, it all! (A lot of it. Too much).
I’m not afraid of bad guys. I don’t go near any, but am not afraid.

The Geneva Conventions is a body of Public International Law, also known as the Humanitarian Law of Armed Conflicts, whose purpose is to provide minimum protections, standards of humane treatment, and fundamental guarantees of respect to individuals who become victims of armed conflicts.
Convention IV: Under this Convention, civilians are afforded the same protections from inhumane treatment and attack afforded to sick and wounded soldiers in the first Convention.
Further, additional regulations regarding the treatment of civilians were introduced.
Finally, it discusses how occupiers are to treat an occupied populace.
