The set forth below describes an approach sketch aimed to
smooth over the arising conflict of the Middle Asia world and so-called
«Western»one. I guess using it would allow to avoid large-scale military
conflicts. Although to achieve it it is to be thoroughly worked out by relevant
experts.
Unfortunately it is under influence of various religion
factors, so the religia expert should be called for as well.
One should not forget that all Middle Ages long Persia was a
center of world-wide culture - and that was not in literature only, but in
mathematics and technologies. For some reasons (that we are not going to
discuss here) that era had finished with fundamentalism. IMHO the upcoming
fundamentalists stated «Allah is incomprehensible: any atmpt to comprehend Him
is considered sin, He created this World. Hence comprehension of this World
should be considered as sin too» That reminds some statements of the Holy
Inquisition. Since that break it had been getting gradually worse. The
flowering science were forgotten, the our days students of Many Islamic
Institutes are just learning by hard the same Qoran texts. Step by step the
situation was getting worse, heating up by common envy; by now it has risen up
to the edge of hot conflict.
To smooth it away the following approach is to be applied. A
lot of various experts had already written about it. For example Knocke, B
(1990) in Political networks: structural perspective (Cambridge,
England; New York Cambridge University Press)
He places emphathasis on information and knowledge, in
addition to material resources as a «basis» for defining «power» to
produce» intended efforts on the attitudes or behaviors of other actors in the
transactions around network»
In that work the author was discussing environmental issues.
But it can easily be applied to other conflicts, and the stated above one as
well.
International community, both the USA and European Union are
spending huge amount of money to stop the Israel-Palestine conflicting. Till
now all these efforts were more or less fruitless and money provided by the
European Community were being used to support the families of the suicide
bombers. This has actually provided terrorism with such a fleur of romantic
self-sacrificing. A terrorist believes that if he sacrifices his life by making
an explosion he would go directly to paradise (and it’s bad by no means), so he
would go directly to Allah, simultaneously providing his family with financial
support - and there is no other way of doing it.
Consequently to solve this eternal question two options
could be offered. The first is to establish outside control over provided funds
distribution and stopping fund supporting of Palestines. It seems me too
complicated but I don’t know why it had not been done yet - the reason might be
the well-known European liberal sympathy to poor Palestines - then what would
you say about poor Israel people? The European support is just keeping this
conflict burning. Israelites are actually blaming the Xavier Solano’s
anti-Semitism.
The second option seems me more difficult, more
efforts-expensive, but more effective in long term.
This way is creation of children educational system
accompanied with providing its graduates with some privileges. To realize it
with the assistance of that very European Union and its volunteers a children
educational, upbringing system is to be created and a new generation of tutors
is to be developed. Nowadays a tutor is to be regarded not as just the
information-provider (since information nowadays is quite accessible, may be
even too much of it), thus a tutor is to show a pupil way of its processing
and analyzing - that means (back to «Straight and crooked thinking» by Richard
Thousand) and not this book only), so tutor’s influence is mainly thinking habits
forming. By the way Israel might take part on this stage too, acting as a
partner - and that should prevent further Palestine negative. The graduates of
such a schools system are to be further promoted - in order to make it
attractive for people. And no doubt the possible curruption is to be strictly
watched out.
Nowadays all of (may be just the most of) such educational
programs are supported by «Hamas» - so could you imagine WHAT kind of knowledge
they do provide within the scope of these programs? Actually there are al olt
of universities in Mudslim countries, but all of them have highly
Islamic-fundamentalism background. But Qoran is full of sentences like the
following:
>I will instill terror in the hearts of the infidels.
Therefore
>strike off their heads and strike off the fingertips of
every one >of them.
>Quran Surah 8: 12
Ancient Persian philosophers had great mind to overwork it
into rather reflected and peaceful works. They works should be wilder
promoted instead of those of Fundamentalists.
At the same time the European simpathy and enthusiasm are
to be turned toward establishing good educational centers instead of sponsoring
the corrupted local authorities.
This idea seems very clear and easy to get for me. The
European volunteers would be provided with the romantic Idea of Serving Great
Goal (certainly some financial stimulus should be elaborated for them) - and
they have the needed thinking habits; so they would get the Great Sense of Life
together with some extreme - and according to many various
examples they are badly looking for something of that kind.
European authorityies may draw some Israel structures too - that would be good
if Israel calms down its eternal enemy and the Palestines would be
helped to develop the modern democratic community and to gain peace slow by
slow. All the world history proves that a person whose mind is well-developed
is less affected by aggressive appeals of typical politicians. As for
«International Community» - I believe it would just benefits from conflict
solving too. And further on people that had got such an education are to be
somehow promoted, well, such people are to get some benefits, not financial
may be ( for that would provide a road to further corruption), but «status» things
for sure..
However the main problem I see in the long preliminary
history of this conflict. Both of the actors have been more-or-less adopted to
its conditions. Despite they suffer from it they get some
dividends too. For the funds are transferred and there are to be some people
around it.
Obviously no «loud» war could be started in this region. At
the same time both these nations have close origin and hence are genetically
close. This educational (or upbringing) program would help to create new job
places, finally to create civil society and thus to overcome high regional
corruption.
As the main goal I regard thinking habit development. It
would not be possible to influence the adult people psychology, to inject them
these thinking habits, so it should be started from childhood age.
Recently I had watched an instructive tv program on the
events of Munich Olympic games of 1972. That had just ensured me in my idea.
The operation «Heaven’s rage» was perfectly carried out but it failed as
long-term strategy. As a result it had just helped to
create for Europeans the image of Poor Opressed Palestine people though the
main leaders of the «Black September» organizations were neither oppressed nor
poor. They were quite OK, playboys or gurus.... However they were good in
reinforcing common people fanatism and neither fantism can be won by power.
That will just reinforce it. Hence another way is to be found. Something
quite unexpected.
Al the same should be done with the «Desert horror» Iran. It
could be started with propaganda through mass media sets
At the moment the main way of public opinion influencing are
mass media. It’d be hardly possible to suppose living with no tv or radio-set
at least. Thus I guess that both Palestine and Iran people do have at lest
something. That makes the situation easier. With the use of mass media tools a
program could be initiated that would influence public opinion and change it
step-by step. Over Iran territory a telecommunication satellite should be hang
that would translate attractive and easy-to-get entertaining programs which
one could get with the use of simplest antenna. Sure that should be combined
with importing enough tv-and radio-sets into the country, with making these
tools available for the most of people. Then mass media experts should be
summoned which would elaborate the needed programs taking into account Islam
people psychology, traditions and behavior. Then with the help of
collaborating Islam leaders some religions and instructive programs, popular
scientific programs and so on.
