Saiid and I have very different backgrounds, I realized earlier that it is not worth the effort, as we will never be able to be on the same page.
My roots come from Prussia (1741), before it became Germany and it ended up in South Africa. In the early 1970’s I was in the military, in action both in Angola and Namibia, fighting terrorism and the Soviets who trained and supported various terrorist organizations. Cuba was also involved as the enemy, leaving me with some scars as a memory. We had a very strong military alliance with Israel, we helped them, they helped us. First class very competent folks with first world values. I am today an American and the country I fought for and left behind, is a friend of Russia and China, sadly.
Saiid has his roots from Damascus, capital of Syria, friends with Putin, Kim Jong Un, where ISIS found a home, Hizbollah etc.
Peace between the Jews, the Arabs and Persians, is a novel idea. Peace between the Western world, the Arabs and the Persians remain a challenge.
