There has been Wars in the Middle East for over four thousands years.
Arabs against Arabs and Arabs against Hebrews.

Genesis 16:12
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, (Hagar the Egyptian) Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis 17:22
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

Lebanese #Druze leader #WalidJumblatt accused #Israel of lying that a #Hezbollah missile struck Druze civilians in the occupied village of #MajdalShams.

“A lie and nothing but a lie," said Walid Jumblatt, about Israel’s claims that Hezbollah fired a missile at the Syrian Druze village, which is illegally occupied by Israel. A total of 12 children and teenagers were killed in the strike, leaving more than a dozen others wounded over the weekend. Israel is now using this as an excuse to attack Lebanon; however, leading Druze voices are accusing Israel of committing the massacre and using the event to try and divide #Arab populations prior to launching an attack on #Lebanon.

#israel #arab
In this map, green represents the Arab countries of North Africa & Middle East.
Israel is the infinitesimally tiny nation within the red lines.
But even that small space is too much for those who want to destroy it.
And in that small space there aren't just Jews, there are also Arabs and Christians.
- :According to 2020 estimates, Catholics make up more than half of all Christians in Israel. The majority are of Arab descent, while a small community are of Hebrew descent.

Arab League

The Arab League, formally the League of Arab States, is a regional organization in the Arab world, which is located in North Africa, West Asia, and part of East Africa. The Arab League was formed in Cairo on 22 March 1945, initially with six members: Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.
All those large Arabian counties, but no one wants their Palestinian brothers and sisters in their country. Perhaps because what come with them is HAMAS.
What areas does Hamas control?
HAMAS has been the de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007, when it ousted the Palestinian Authority from power. Primarily in Gaza; also maintains a presence in the West Bank; Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon; and key regional capitals, such as Doha, Qatar, and Cairo, Egypt.

RABINDRANATH TAGORE ,PALESTINE ÀND THE JEWISH PEOPLE

As #Gaza continues to be pounded and pulverized with unimaginable human cost, we may escape from ' here ' and 'now' to look back on the #Arab - #Jewish conflict through the eyes of Rabindranath Tagore ,the foremost poet and public intellectual of the time.Theodore Zeldin in his Hidden Pleasures of Life speaks of Tagore's amazing capacity to make friends across the globe and his remarkable ability to nurture such relationships and contacts .Tagore was a great admirer of the Jewish genius which came to full flowering in the early decades of twentieth century .He was greatly influenced by Bergeson the philosopher of creative evolution and was deeply interested in the revolution in Physics, brought about mainly by Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Tagore had also many Jewish friends who kept him informed about the entrenched anti semitism in #Europe and the problems the Jewish settlers faced in Mandate #Palestine .Tagore's love of the Jewish people had deeper roots .He belonged to a Hindu reformist sect that was fervently monotheistic and shared with the Jews a cosmopolitan culture,love of learning and creative pursuits. Rammohun Roy ,the founder of new Hindu monotheism and Tagore's "role model", was the first Hindu to learn Hebrew as he wanted to study the Old Testament in the original .One of his nephews ,Soyumendranath Tagore ,a Marxist, would later visit Israel in 1965 and write an unprejudiced book defending Israel's right to exist and the necessity to form full diplomatic ties with the beleaguered Jewish nation .He rightly saw #Israel could offer us more in the form of science ,agricultural technology and the art of living than any country in the Middle East .

 Tagore was familiar with the Zionist movement that sought to unite the Jews facing discrimination in most of the European countries and even envisaged a Jewish state in the country of their origin. #Zionism was a progressive movement which enjoyed the sympathy and support of most of the leading Jewish scientists and intellectuals including #Einstein. Tagore was not against Jewish immigration but Jewish statehood .Speaking to a Zionist interviewer in 1930 in New York he remarked ," What we poets have dreamt ,the Jews can create in Palestine if they free themselves of the western concept of nationalism." Tagore favored Jewish  migration as it would bring Arabs in closer contact with the West and wake them up from their torpor .It will also make technology transfer easier benefiting both the Arabs.The growing cooperation between Jewish settlers and Arabs will form the " basis of a new Palestinian civilization " .A few Zionists such as Schomith Flaum visited Santiniketan and became his  admirers . Tagore  heard about the success story of the Jewish settlers who had turned the arid desert lands green .He invited Jewish farmers to settle in Santiniketan and introduce scientific farming among local farmers. In 1936 Olsvanger a Jewish emissary visited India and found most Indian leaders had little understanding of Jews and hostile to their cause .The Indian National Congress was sympathetic to Arabs even when they had resorted to terrorism and acts of violence against the Jewish settlers .Tagore wrote to Olsvanger, " What interests me perhaps more than the work done by the Jewish settlers is the agricultural development of the country,the reclamation of marshy and sandy stretches, the application of the modern scientific method in dealing with the problems of soil and cultivation. As you know.. our agricultural problems have become quite formidable, and they can be tacked only  by an advanced technique and organization. " However, the Palestinian Jews were rather disappointed by his objections to a Jewish state and did not respond to his invitation to form a Jewish community at Santineketan .

Sclhlomith Flaum was a young Palestinian Jewish woman of Lithuanian origin who stayed at Santineketan and continued to correspond with Tagore .Her letter written on May 30 gives us glimpse of the growing conflict in Mandate Palestine. Her family had been savagely attacked by Arabs and she herself suffered injuries .She wrote with much self confidence and perhaps, a little arrogance " The Arabs wish that the Jewish immigration should stop in Palestine because they fear our superiority and progress in work We make out of desert a blooming and prosperous country in every way of which they themselves gain most ,as they do nothing ,just sit. .and smoke leisurely and peacefully their pipes " .In retrospect her criticism of the Arab way of life seems unjust .Arabs had a right to their leisurely pace of life in their own land which came under threat as Jews brought with them an invasive modernity based on capitalism and new technology.Tagore on his part failed to understand that Jewish settlers could not hope to protect themselves from the Arab wrath except through the instrumentality of the state .Arabs ,as #Muslims ,were unwilling to cede even an inch to the settlers .They out of hand rejected the recommendations of Peel Commission which proposed a Jewish homeland that constituted just 10% of the Mandate Palestine. Arabs - that is to say Arab males - of all descriptions still decline to accept Israel which is proudly in existence for 75 years. The Two State Solution is an insincere ruse - a step towards the total destruction of Israel. While other Arab states out of fear have de facto accepted Israel , #Hamas has not .It still dreams of unfurling the flag of Islam on all the four corners of Israel.So ,the 'poet's dream' will wither and violence will go on until either of the belligerent parties is totally defeated .It is tragic but almost inevitable.

Moderate #Arab countries like #Egypt and Qatar might be better mediators than Western countries. And Egypt certainly wants long-term quiet.

Egypt presents phased hostage deal outline to end #Gaza war.

Egypt has proposed a phased hostage deal outline, involving an initial two to three-week #ceasefire in exchange for the release of 40 #Israeli hostages, Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Sunday.

According to the report, the second stage will involve discussions with the #Palestinian Authority about establishing a technocratic government.

The third stage will include a permanent cease-fire, a comprehensive prisoner exchange deal and #Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Sources told the newspaper that Hamas agreed to the proposal.

Meanwhile, Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported that "Egypt's vision is based on the desire to involve all Palestinian factions and find an alternative to [Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas]."
