Second point, I´m very, very, very proud of German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and German Foreign Minister Franz Walter Steinmeier. When the Israelis had killed about 6000 Lebanese civillians (70 percent of them were children) in the Lebanon war in August 2006 and when almost the whole world called for an instant cease fire, then Merkel and Steinmeier said:

“There must be no cease fire.”

(In German language: “Es darf keinen Waffenstillstand geben.”) This is crown of creation! And I am so proud of it, because in this context `there must be no cease fire´ is just another expression for `the killing must go on, innocent people shall die”! This is kind of Darwinism: surviving of the fittest. This is law of djungle: who is the meanest killer, is on the right side. But what, when anyone else is better in killing? Is he right, then? No!!!! Then we use our Western double standards and tell him he is “axis of evil”. To be sure, this way we will succeed in reaching Armageddon just in time.

Third) In Western media it was hardly mentioned, that the Hezbollah had eliminated 163 Israeli Merkawa tanks. It then was clear, what the Israelis had really planned: the total occupation of whole Lebanon! This way it makes sense, what the Israelis said before: This war will be quick and cheap! And the Americans should take this war as an example how they should wage war against Iran! Now the lesson is different.

Finally, some days ago I learned some footage about the Israeli military in an article written by Uri Averny. “We are prepared for the next war”, they say. But against whom? For what reason? This is all the same for the soldiers. Of no interest, it seems to be quite natural for them, that a next war will come.
In such a `social context´ it is a good idea – as mentioned on this website – to develop new concepts of dealing with war and conflicts. I think, the solution will come from the common people, not from politicians.
