On Olives and Sake

Arab-Israeli conflict, is a Human conflict, way more than a military conflict.

Any attempt to look at a solution must consider this.

And the whole situation in Lebanon is a clear sign.
This is not a war against Hizbulla, This is a systematic destruction of Lebanon.
Hizbulla is not defending Lebanon, Hizbulla is only attacking Israeli cities.

Amin Maalouf in his “On Identity” says that,
A war, is the best environment for extremism. The people will only listen to the sound of war, and the more extreme the shout is, the more the people will listen, and will abide… unfortunatly, it’s very true.

Those who will not put an effort to study the other side’s motives, culture, hopes and dreams, will never have a chance to win, win peace.

Thats one side of this conflict, Israeli Cinematographers show solidarity with Lebanon.

Another side, a lot of people seem to be forgetting. Dictatorships, dont want peace. as much as Israel doesnt want peace.

And the Syrian regime is making the best out of this crisis.
