Israel, how to live happily ever after

Israel is fighting a war that he cannot win. It is like John McClain living in middle of Harlem. Yes, Israel is strong and able, he can pound any neighbor and win any fight that he got involved, but all his neighbors hate him, the fights will never stop.

Why the arab neighbors hates israel?

1.Jews are different than Arabians. We naturally don't trust, don't respect people that is different from us.

2.Jews are rich, richer than his neighbors. We naturally don't like others doing better than us. If we can't have effective ways bring ourselves better, we wish the others doing worse. It is the comparison matters.

3.There is long history behind it. They have been fighting since the beginning.

Of all the reasons, I think the most fundmental root of the non-ending conflicts is the better economic status of Jews.

Rich people generally don't hate poor people. They disrepect them because they believe they are smarter than those poor people -- if the poor is as smart as I am, they should be rich. But they don't hate poor people.

Poor people hates rich people. Being poor rips off their capability to play equally with the rich, and it is all rich people's fault. If there is no rich people, we won't be so poor, at least won't feel so poor.

From a westerner's point of view, Israel has all the legitmate reasons to fight back. Is playing fair and getting richer a sin?

Looking at human nature, yes, the better Jews plays, the more conflicts it raises.

There is all kinds of reasons for middle east confilicts, but I think they are all offsprings from economic unequilibrium.

US is super rich, so it will always think along the line of Israel, and it will not working toward equilibrium, which is to embedding more conflicts. US is seeding the middle east crisis.

Europe is not as rich as US, but rich nevertheless. Europe won't fundmentally help the middle east crisis either.

Arabians cannot stop the hatred, it is against human nature.

So for Israel, if he wants to sleep peacefully at night, the only choices are -- 1. move out of the bad neighborhood, location, location, location; 2. help improve the neighborhood. Spend all the money on military to help neighbors build their houses and build business for them. Only reducing the equilibrium can reduce the violent reactions. It is simple chemistry.
