To start a conflict, manipulate people into it by threatening them in multiple ways; to position oneself as a representative of an interest group, a lobby; then in the limelight apparently get people back together again for peace talks and eventual – and so sudden … – peace or at least truce…
What do you call that?
-
- ‘Smart’, because the person reaches their goal of appearing to be the hero of the hour?
- ‘Business-like’, because using money as a weapon they appear influential and the ‘wise guy’ … of the day?
- Or ‘Cruel’, because many lives are lost in the process, hostages kept for years in fear and captivity, marred for life while others suffer intense pains of loss and worry?
I am happy and very relieved that so many are now apparently released from captivity as hostages! For themselves and for their families, their near and dear!
But they might not have been to be in that place at all, in the first place – used by a president-to-be and yet another ally in Israel, Netanyahu, who had to fear using his ‘job’ – and thus started to get beligerent. Follow the history on channels and newspapers to trust. It was rather obvious.
And war one way or another throughout history has been known to be a welcome and often-used method to distract attention from internal affairs and issues – of a king, or a dictator, or a president…
The result, and the tragic and cruel truth can seem unbearable: It’s once again about power and money. Ultimately. People are just so much cannon fodder, once again.
And we can expect ‘more of the same’, in the coming months, if not years.
Because, there is ‘a method to the madness’.
