War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens. All it takes is a little faith, a mere “crumb” of faith, in order to face this dramatic hour in history together — as humanity and alongside humanity. #Peace vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

All nations should cut bilateral trade and economic ties with Israel. What this regime is doing in Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon is nothing short of monstrous.

Israel’s Op. Eternal Darkness in Lebanon reminds me of filming in a Beirut hospital during the Israeli invasion of 1982. The doctors had to concentrate on the most life-threatening injuries, which were mostly internal. We filmed in the corridor outside the operating theatre. Each new stretcher paused so a line of young boys could grab the biggest chunks of shrapnel sticking out of the patients and yank them out under the direction of a nurse. The groaning of the victims as the shrapnel came out was something I can’t forget. Four decades on, similar things are happening yet again.

There can be some closure only when all parties are held accountable and they accept their respective responsibilities. Excessive prosecution and censure of just one party, without accepting the attitudes, behaviours and circumstances that led to aggression, sounds just loud , mindless and hollow, not serious or sincere

Fetterman: I do not think we can walk away because here we are, we are at the cusp of possibly creating enduring kinds of real peace in there and holding Iran accountable.

And by a victim complex. The other day was surprised to see my help’s profile picture, in which was the line , I’m proud to say that I’m a Hindu in marathi followed by Jai Shri Ram . This line is heard in many places. Whoever is stopping them to be a Hindu in a Hindu majority country is difficult to understand. This same victimhood will get repeated in many subsections in many states roiling the social scene. Each to his own, thus foregoing the skills of cooperation and collaboration that have been acquired through years of practice.

Argued before that India had regressed to the "small-nation" nationalism of countries like Israel, as theorized by Israeli scholar Uriel Abulof. A nationalism marked by persistent mortal insecurity & moral crisis, which frames perception of every issue. telegraphindia.com/opinion/going-…

If one only paid attention to the Indian media and on line comments, it would be reasonable to conclude that India wants the Islamabad peace talks to fail, just to spite Pakistan. This shows how warped public discourse has become due to India's fixation on its neighbor.

In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today: “We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.” “We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together. “Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol. “They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! “True strength is shown in serving life!”

@husainhaqqani A country harassed and debilitated by sanctions and invasions can remind the world that the Strait includes its territorial waters. The depth is more on the Iranian side.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait. Under UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (which Iran has not ratified) all ships & aircraft enjoy freedom of navigation & overflight. No state can suspend this right. Rights are not subject to negotiation & renegotiation.

@husainhaqqani If they had been as rogue as they are projected to be , they would have staked this claim to the strait before. Or roguery is a trait shared by all the actors in this theatre and Iran is not particularly rogue.

“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.” -Teddy Roosevelt

In the past invasions were also expeditions and adventures, part of an attempt to connect with the outside world and to search for resources. Those who don’t have the imagination to be excited by the connections offered through trade , find it necessary to conquer. Conquering mentality is the result of an imagination deficit.

@infantrydort The virility can be kept alive by engaging in regular activities energetically. But then , cannot expect everyone to be equally energetic or to have the energy always. Civilizations are also brought down by natural calamities, environmental degradation and climate change.
