WAR and peace are co-existential, one may like or dislike this mutually conflicting co-existence; but it is an outward reality although militating against cool counsel of intellect; finality of truth is that co-existence is part of Godly scheme: God could have exterminated the Devil for ever at the slightest revolt of his (Satan’s) but he was given full longevity of life till the ultimate collapse of the celestial and terrestrial universe; the idea issues forth from this Godly leniency that co-existence is basic part of life – of humans or non-humans, albeit pro or against struggle simultaneously.

Today’s Middle East, geo-strategically of unique importance, presents a specific pattern of necessity of co-existence; since first week of October 2023 a fiercest extermination ‘war’ is going on resulting in horrendous extent and depth of destruction to human life and properties of a scale of WWII; Pharaohic kids killings are apart graphically visible via videos on the global scale visual and photo media; in 332 BC Pharaoh II (real name Minfatah bin Ramisus) had ordered on predictions of future-tellers extermination of male born children; for this vicious purpose he had deployed across his Egyptian empire trained nurses to determine the gender of the children and kill the male ones; the child elimination imperial campaign went in full ferocity across breadth and length of the then Egypt – Pharaoh II’s empire.

But human history presents a miracle, Godly miracle that in the midst of this kids killings adventure a child was got saved by Pharaoh himself through the compassion of his royal spouse Asiya; that child grown up in the Pharaohic palace was later famed Prophet Musa/Moses, God’s peace be on him! Pharaoh was open rebel to God; if God wanted he could be eliminated in a split second fraction of time, but God wanted to set an example of co-existence; Pharaoh’s drowning with his army into the Nile river is a connected aspect of an independent import/meaning. His mummy is intact in a Cairo museum as fulfillment of God’s warning that even his body would be made a symbolic lesson for humans till final Doomsday dawns on Earth and on Upper Universe simultaneously. And humanity from East to the West and from North to the South across globe is pausingly moving towards that promised Doomsday when the sky and the earth would be intermingled as per three divine religious warning literature.

Amid ever widening destructive scope and scale in Palestine by Israeli bombings and bulletings kids killings are of Pharaohic scale being videoed by the whole world across their domestic, commercial, cell phone visual media; the ferocity is of such a colossus magnitude that one can imagine that even mothers of the killers would be weeping; a killer is a killer from any connection or faction, does not deserve any pardon or remission. Media outlets give 16,000 humans in Palestine killed thus far by devastating Israeli bombings and open targeted firings (also shown on video how an infant, a teen is killed by snipers’ bullets or overhead bombings.

Among this killed lot are reportedly 8160 are kids. It is a highly tribute paying occasion for the media corps covering the riskiest happenings with no safeguard: 73 journalists are reported killed in the Israeli military operations in Gaza or in other enclaves up to Rafah crossing backyards; warring intensity is akin to that of WWI and WWII, octogenarians tell. The recovery pauses allowed mutually in the ongoing killing, destructive campaign could little benefit as in lieu of freed hostages/prisoners more than the freed ones (media reports) have been taken as captives; in such warring campaigns wrath, rage and retaliation level never comes down or freezes.

Related to the ongoing ME situation is the universal truth that war never proves a means to achieve peace or any other goal. Sooner would it wiser that through UN peace promoting initiative a meeting of the involved parties to the Palestine dispute is convened in Jerusalem; after all even after years the involved parties themselves shall have to come this conclusion of direct meeting to discuss and finalize a Permanent Peace Protocol with demarcation of mutually agreed borders. Palestine is a UN-listed dispute and it has got to be resolved on oft mentioned 2-state basis.
