As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain objective and independent in my views such that I would like to address in further detail why the extremist factions of the respective Parties like Hamas (Palestinian); Hezbollah (Palestinian); and Mossad (Israeli) should be part of the negotiations on-line and on-time via teleconferencing, other than for security reasons to avoid a wild UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) style street fight. It is important that this issue now be addressed as on May 30, 2014, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Israel’s wait-and-see approach to the Fatah - Hamas unity talks was “appropriate”. As a friendly reminder, Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority President of Fatah, needs to accept such a unity with Hamas as a sign that the hand (Hamas) will react in line with the head (Fatah) and avoid the hand (Hamas) slapping the head (Fatah) in order to be able to negotiate a long-term sustainable solution with Israel. Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, needs to accept such a unity between Fatah - Hamas as the foundation to allowing Fatah (head/ political movement) to represent Hamas (hand/ military movement) at the bargaining table for long-term sustainable peace with Israel. However, this has now become more difficult as Israel buried three Israeli teens it says were kidnapped and killed by the Islamic militant group Hamas consisting of Eyal Yifrah (19); Gilad Shaar (16) and Naftali Fraenkel (16) who initially disappeared on the night of June 12, 2014 as they were hitchhiking home from Jewish seminaries they attended in the West Bank. While not condemning the abduction, Hamas denied responsibility for the teens’ death. To add fuel to the raging fire, tensions mounted in Jerusalem as a local Palestinian teenager, Mohammed Abu Khudair (17), was found dead, on early Wednesday, July 2, 2014, in what some fear may have been a reprisal attack for the killing of the three Jewish Israeli teenagers abducted in the West Bank. Ignoring international appeals for a ceasefire, Israel widened its range of Gaza bombing targets Saturday, July 12, 2014 to include civilian institutions with suspected Hamas ties. One strike hit a centre for the disabled, killing two patients and wounding four people. In a second attack, an Israeli warplane flattened the home of Gaza police chief Taysir al-Batsh and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people. Fifty were wounded, including al-Batsh himself. On Sunday, July 13, 2014, Israel briefly deployed ground troops inside the Gaza Strip for the first time as its military warned northern Gaza residents to evacuate their homes as part of a widening campaign against militant rocket fire that has killed more than 160 Palestinians. “We don't know when the operation will end”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting Sunday. “It might take a long time.” Without getting into further excessive details and without reacting based on wild rage, it is clear to me that Israel is looking to cripple the Hamas organization with its current military campaign aimed at taking out Hamas’s ability to fire rockets at Israel. Although Israel blames the Palestinian civilian casualties on Hamas, as Israel alleges that Hamas uses its own Palestinian people as human shields to protect its rocket firing technology, while Israel uses its sophisticated technology “Missile Defense Dome” system to minimize Israeli casualties, the reality of the current situation in Gaza is that based on brut military force, Israel will ultimately prevail in the short-term on the ground. However, that being said, this Israeli offensive will not resolve the underlying root problem of hatred between the Palestinian and Israeli people and will not eliminate Hamas from the equation in the long-term. In my opinion, the harder the Israelis strike Hamas, the harder Hamas will ultimately retaliate with a terrorist strike as from Hamas’s point-of-view, a terrorist strike is the only viable alternative to hurt Israel as Hamas does not have the military capability to beat Israel on the battlefield of war. However, that being said, even if Israel succeeds in crippling Hamas today, Hamas will never give Israel any peace of mind for tomorrow and for sustainable long-term peace. In my opinion, whether you like them or you hate them, the reality of the Hamas organization is that they will resort to whatever means necessary, including terrorism, before ever seceding to defeat at the hands of Israel. Therefore, in my opinion Israel is now quickly approaching the point of no return whereby the more damaging the crush to Hamas today, the more severe will be the Hamas retaliation in the future via terrorist strikes, regardless of whether terrorism is wrong or right, as we all know that terrorism is wrong, but when Hamas sees no other choice, Hamas will ultimately strike with a terrorist voice. Therefore, in my opinion, at this stage enough is enough as Israel has already given Hamas enough punishing blows militarily on the ground such that further bombardments will only further accentuate hatred and revenge leading to a cycle of never ending avenge.

In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – XXXXXXXXVIII” as the belief that Israel has already given Hamas enough punishing blows such that further revenge will lead to a cycle of never ending avenge.

As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring Iraq into my views as they seem to be the closest at this time to a full fledge civil war of rage like wild animals stuck together in a cage. However, it is important to note that Israel and Palestine seem to be awakening from their hatred induced coma state with the potential for peace negotiations to be resumed in the near future in the United States, while Egypt continues to operate in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in an anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians continue to suffer each and every day. In terms of the Russians and Ukrainians, they seem to have entered into a political war game whereby neither party wishes to concede but rather seems to prefer to enter into a civil war and commit dirty deeds. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Russians and Ukrainians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it is now time for the Iraqis to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, Observers around the world are stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. As the rebels extend their reach across Iraq, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is being urged to widen his government’s sectarian make-up or face the prospect of isolation and defeat. In my opinion, to understand why Iraq is currently bursting at the seams, one must understand Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and why the United States has supported him since 2006. Raised in a devout Shiite family, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki grew to resent Sunni minority rule in Iraq, especially the secular but repressive Baath Party. Therefore, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki joined the opposition theocratic Dawa party as a young man, believing in its call to create a Shiite state in Iraq by any means necessary. Accused of being extensions of Iranian clerics and intelligence officers, thousands of Dawa party members were arrested, tortured and executed. Many of the mutilated bodies were never returned to their families. Among those killed were some of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s close relatives, forever shaping the psychology of the future premier. Over a span of three decades, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki moved between Iran and Syria, where he organized covert operations against Hussein’s regime, eventually becoming chief of Iraq’s Dawa branch in Damascus. After the December 2005 parliamentary elections, U.S. Embassy officials combed the Iraqi elite for a leader who could crush the Iranian-backed Shiite militias, battle al-Qaeda, and unite Iraqis under the banner of nationalism and inclusive government. At that time, the only man with any chance to win support from all Iraqi factions and who seemed likely to be an effective leader was Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Over time, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki helped forge compromises with his political rivals and signed multibillion-dollar contracts with multinational companies to help modernize Iraq. However, without getting into further excessive detail, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s one-man, one-Dawa-party Iraq looks a lot like Hussein’s one-man, one-Baath Party Iraq. In my opinion, there is not much “democracy” left if one man and one party with close links to Iran control the judiciary, police, army, intelligence services, oil revenue, treasury and the central bank. Under these circumstances, renewed ethno-sectarian civil war in Iraq is a certainty. Therefore, the question everyone is asking themselves these days is whether Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki can effectively stay in power and lead Iraq out of its current crisis. In my opinion, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had his chance since 2005 to accomplish the complicated and challenging mission of crushing the Iranian-backed Shiite militias, battling al-Qaeda, and uniting Iraqis under the banner of nationalism and inclusive government but failed as is evidenced by today’s sectarian violence. Therefore, in my opinion, it is irrelevant whether or not Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is directly or indirectly responsible for the current bloodbath in Iraq or whether the current bloodbath in Iraq is the exclusive responsibility of ISIS. In my opinion, all that is relevant is that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had his chance since 2005 to create a unified and peaceful Iraq at which he has, as of today, failed such that Iraq now needs a fresh new face and a fresh new tone at the top to wipe the slate clean and to try to bring Iraq back to the unified Iraqi dream.

In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – XXXXXXXXVI” as the belief that Iraq needs a fresh new face and fresh new tone at the top to wipe the slate clean and to try to bring Iraq back to the unified Iraqi dream.

In summary, Observers around the world are stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. As the rebels extend their reach across Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki is being urged to widen his government’s sectarian make-up or face the prospect of isolation and defeat. TWO weeks after the dramatic fall of chunks of Iraq to Sunni rebels led by the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), a ferocious Jihadist group, hostilities have simmered to a lower boil. The heat has spread, however, pulling more forces into both Iraq’s turmoil and the related war in neighboring Syria. With no hint of progress towards a political solution or a truce, the fighting looks certain to intensify and widen, and along with it the risk of yet another humanitarian disaster on the scale of Syria, where nearly half the population has fled abroad or been displaced. On the ground in Iraq, regular troops and Shia militiamen loyal to the Shia-dominated government of the prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki, appear to be holding a rough defensive line north of the capital, Baghdad. Kurdish Peshmerga forces also continue to secure a border that stretches some 1,000 km across the north and east of Iraq, separating their autonomous Kurdistan from the rebellious Sunni-majority region. Despite having pursued the policies that have led to the current disaster by enraging the Sunni Arab minority and alienating the Kurds, Mr Maliki appears to think he can again form a government. The backing of Syria and Iran helps, and may even convince him that a Shia army can prevail on the field. But many of his fellow Shias in Iraq now want him to go, too. Without getting into further excessive detail, in my opinion, before the entire region spirals out of control leading to the entire world spiralling into a Third and FINAL World War, all sides to this conflict need to step back and look at the “Big Picture”. The “Big Picture” as History has taught us on perpetual multiple occasions is that as long as there is repression, aggression and/ or oppression, there will ultimately be rebels leading to a revolution. Therefore, the Shia-dominated government of the prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki has set in motion a revolution by the Sunni Arab minority who have been repressed and oppressed for far too long. However, this repression, aggression and/ or oppression does not give the Sunni Arab minority the right to become ferocious Jihadists slaughtering innocent people like pigs in honour of Allah who somehow in their minds condones such evil behaviours. That being said, the only way to halt the Sunni Arab minority ferocious Jihadist techniques is for the Shia-dominated government of the prime minister, Nuri al-Maliki to unite the mass of the Iraqis consisting of Shias, Sunnis and Kurds under one unified front which can only be done if the Shia-dominated government shares power with all before the whole of Iraq is engulfed in a fire ball. Furthermore, the Sunni Arab minority ferocious Jihadists need to see a valid alternative to sustainable long-term growth and prosperity for the root cause of the Jihadists furor is seeing no prosperous future or alternative at the hands of the current Iraqi state which only fuels their rage of hate.

In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part XXXXXXXXIV” as the belief that Iraq root cause of Jihadists furor is seeing no future at hands of current Iraqi state fueling rage of hate.

In summary, Observers around the world are stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. On a local Iraqi television network, a morning loop of reports of ISIS detailed the horrors of the militant group's return to Iraq. Each segment contained a litany of allegations: rape, destruction of heritage sites (especially churches) and atrocious violence. Throughout, the ISIS Jihadists were painted as outsiders. The fact is, while many members of ISIS are indeed from other nations, the group was founded in Iraq, and many among its members, including its leader, are Iraqi and Sunni Muslim. But to describe their lightening rampage toward Baghdad as divisive would be an understatement as ISIS claims to be righting the wrongs of an anti-Sunni Iraq government. However, an ad runs repeatedly featuring Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki stating, “Don't listen to those who speak of Sunni or Shia, speak of Iraq” which may be too little, too late at this stage. The issue is that more than a decade after the U.S. invasion, and despite the experience of that brutal civil war, Iraqis are as divided as ever, perennially using religion to define their sense of belonging. Without getting into further excessive details, the key point to note is the underlying problems which have resurfaced once again in Iraq which is the separation and divide along religious lines. That is, the current government regime under Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is Shia dominated while the opposition under ISIS is Sunni dominated. However, in actuality, it is not religion which has divided the Muslims in Iraq but rather it is personal, financial and political interests which have divided the Muslim based core as the ISIS is making a strong statement that it will not accept its current repression, suppression and oppression any more. In my opinion, the ISIS has a right to rebel on the basis that the Sunni’s in Iraq have been repressed, suppressed and oppressed under the current Shia dominated regime but at the same time, ISIS does not have the right to resort to Barbarian, Neanderthal and Animalistic techniques of rape, destruction of heritage sites (especially churches) and atrocious violence. Although the Sunni leaders of ISIS may have convinced their followers that such atrocities are justified in the name of Allah, I do not believe that there is any Allah in the world that would condone such evil behaviours. That being said, the ISIS is currently running on hatred induced rage caused by the repression, suppression and oppression of the Sunni’s in Iraq at the hands of the current Shia dominated regime such that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s statement, “Don't listen to those who speak of Sunni or Shia, speak of Iraq” needs to be quickly backed by action whereby the moderate Sunni population quickly ascends within the ranks of the Iraqi regime to create an Iraqi political structure similar to Lebanon whereby power is shared amongst the various religious factions. In terms, of the ISIS Jihadists, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani who has expressed his deepest concern over the current situation in Iraq should step in and negotiate a ceasefire deal on behalf of the ISIS. In my opinion, whether you like Iran or you hate Iran, the non-jihadist Syrian opposition insists that ISIS is a creation of Iran. In typical Middle East fashion, the Syrians overstate the case, but there is much evidence that Iran and its Syrian allies have cooperated with ISIS. Therefore, in my opinion, only Iranian President Hassan Rouhani can negotiate a ceasefire agreement on behalf of ISIS to avert a full fledge civil war of rage where all hell will break loose along religious lines with all sides committing atrocities and crimes of the mentally disturbed kind.

In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part XXXXXXXXII” as the belief that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani needs to step in to negotiate a ceasefire deal on behalf of ISIS in Iraq before the commission of more atrocities and crimes of the mentally disturbed kind.

As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring the Ukraine into my views as they seem to be the closest at this time to a full fledge civil war of rage like wild animals stuck together in a cage. However, it is important to note that Israel and Palestine seem to be awakening from their hatred induced coma state with the potential for peace negotiations to be resumed in the near future in the United States, while Egypt continues to operate in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in an anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians continue to suffer each and every day. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians and Syrians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it is now time for the Ukrainians and Russians to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, as the pro-Russian armed groups stand guard in Crimea, Ukraine, claiming self-defense, their Ukrainian adversaries claim oppression in the name of a Russian led Ukrainian land repossession via military intervention. On June 10, 2014, Ukraine's new President Petro Poroshenko has ordered the creation of humanitarian corridors so civilians can flee areas of the east hit by conflict. Scores have died in recent fighting in the eastern Ukraine between government troops and pro-Russia militants who want to break away from Kiev. Thousands of people are thought to have been displaced by the fighting. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov welcomed Mr Poroshenko's move, but said what was needed most was a ceasefire. The government in Kiev says Moscow is backing the armed separatists in the east, an accusation that Russia denies. The move to create these corridors may allay concerns from human rights groups about Kiev's use of tanks and air power to suppress the pro-Russian militia. But Mr Poroshenko has still not accepted the Kremlin's request to allow Russian aid into the east - a move that Kiev fears could be used to arm the rebels. Without getting into further excessive details, the key point to note is that the Ukraine now has a new President, Petro Poroshenko, who in my opinion is a brilliant businessman who can lead the Ukraine out of their current economic crisis but who, in my opinion, does not thoroughly understand the workings behind paramilitary minds. In my opinion, President, Petro Poroshenko does not seem to comprehend that those paramilitary minds will never give the Ukraine peace of mind until the Ukraine listens to their needs and plants a decentralized, loose and autonomous Ukraine Federation seed. Therefore, I agree with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that what is needed most now is a ceasefire, followed by organized negotiations with the Russian Paramilitary Leaders. In my opinion, the Russian Paramilitary Leaders may be a little bit crazy but they are not stupid as they know very well that without Russia’s military backing they will ultimately loose the battle on the ground. However, President, Petro Poroshenko must understand that the Russian Paramilitary Leaders will never lose the ultimate war as they will never surrender and lay down their arms without acceptable concessions granted by the new Poroshenko lead such that it is now time to negotiate a peace deal.

In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part XXXXXXXX” as the belief that loose Ukraine federation should result in taming of Russian Paramilitary gangs if new President, Petro Poroshenko avoids a big bang.
