re: #311 Bob Levin

I would dispute that paper. For many years, yes, tribalism was a cause of war. But since the industrial revolution, wars have been fought over natural resources and the smooth flow of those resources.

Yes… as long as those resources stay within the set group. The “tribe” does not have to be large or based on race. It is based upon people who think alike that want to protect what they have.

There are areas of the world that are non-industrial and have no natural resources of use to the developed world, but their fights do not make the news.

I also think it’s pretty tricky business trying to pinpoint the nature of human nature. However, I think I can be certain that the Jewish people wish for peace. I know this because we pray for peace three times a day.

The other part is that I also believe most people do want peace. Most do care for others. But there are enough who just want more and use whatever to strive for it. Even though people may want peace, history has shown those same people can be mislead. yep… Human nature is very hard to define because we are operating on ourselves.

Unfortunately, I do consider your solution to be…not a solution. That impartial body, the organization tasked with stopping genocide, is the UN. However, the UN has turned into the most corrupt organization in the world. Again, if you look at the UN, you should see a very antisemitic organization.

I will agree that the UN cannot solve this because they are neither honest nor unbiased. That is why I did not mention them. But….. if such a person/group/etc could be found, would my solution work then?
