What's Common between Jews and Arab Palestinians?

 Prof. Hasan Yahya

In his new released book: Arab Palestinians and Jews, the author wrote in a bold style about common aspects may bring Jews and Palestinians together. He wrote in his introduction II: Away from above rhetoric poem about monkeys and Mice, and irrational emotional decisions and promotions, the author brings his life experience and educational background to solve the one hundred year conflict between Jews and Palestinian Arabs over Palestine.  Taking into consideration the cycle of history, evolutionist theory and common sense perceptions the book provides an idea to be seriously thought and practiced  among Palestinians and Israelis alike.Reciprocal recognition of human rights for both Arab (Muslims and non-Muslims) and Jews in Palestine taking into account and consideration the following factors under certain assumptions of knowledge leads to understanding, then appreciation, and finaly lead to compromising.

 Objectives: Both groups are humans equal in human right standards. Both Israeli and Palestinian people cherish peaceful life which can be achieved by the law of wisdom survival between them. No doubt that both have historical wisdom to survive into modern times. Both have a supreme objective which is to peacefully and freely practice their beliefs in their  independent states.

 Origin: Both came from one aroma started from Adam and Eve and later Abraham. Both are Semite people. Both peoples have one Holy Father, Abraham. Both belong to common space and time through history-Palestine. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

Religion: God is One among Jews and Arab Palestinians. Respect on ones God determines respect of others' God and belief practices. Some may convert or create their own religion. No one can tell how future religions and beliefs may look like. Keep it for the new generations to decide  if  they wanted to stick with wisdom survival between the two groups and have freely decide their adapted beliefs.  Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 History: Both peoples have common history in Religious books. The Old Testaments and Jesus history from Abraham to modern times to be recognized equally as great past shared by both Arab Palestinians and Jews. Future history is what is necessary for both to create together as neighbors participating in planned  modern civilization. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 Conflict commonality: Palestinians are connected with Jews, in conflict over land in the last one hundred years, and vise versa. No part exist without the other part. Your destiny is to live together not to die. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 Taking into account that land does not belong to one people alone in terms of time and space. Land, in fact  belongs to those who reside over it in time and space, use it, cultivate it, and live over it. Therefore, both have the right to live and survive on the land belongs to them. Soon, all will pass away. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 The offspring of both will  have different mentalities colored with more common interest. The new generations among Jews and Arab Palestinians, will be more mixed of both Arabic and Jewish culture distinguished by certain characteristics not totally Jewish nor Arabic. Flexibility of joining hearts with minds should lead the future not otherwise. A new product developed through social interactions, and hate and love emotions. Land or state may become a member of federal united state includes both. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

No one can tell the future shape of states, but it can be projected. But it will not be identical to the past or the present. Wisdom to live in harmony remains to create attitudes of surviving compromise.

 World nations, strong and weak have to come to common grounds to live in peace and harmony. Jews and Arab Palestinians are included.   Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

Interest: Both Arabs and Israelis have common interest to survive. Such interest have to be superior over any other interests. Interests can be promoted by the same four factors of survival of wisdom to continue surviving. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

Culture: Cultures can be diffused and changed through time. Culture of tomorrow will be different from culture of yesterday and today. The new generations will create and accept their own culture diffused from both culture to the new one shaped by the living people through appreciation and mutual respect and understanding. This does not omit one group culture by force, but cultural adaptability for the new culture will be made by choice.   Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 Language: To know a second language in each state is a must to know, to understand, to appreciate, and to compromise survival of wisdom among each other. Educational institutions  should take this factor as a common ground for the future. In both Israeli and  Palestinian state to promote this wisdom survival to live together in peace. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

Moral standards: Religions principles have to promote respect and unselfishness according the wisdom survival. New moral standards have to be promoted according to Crescentology principles made by the author. Both have to try it and apply it. Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

 Conclusion: The above Factors constitute the Wisdom survival among Arab Palestinians and Jews and  can be practiced by the model of Crescentology or Theory C. of Conflict Management application for future cultural normalization. How that can be? Look around and use your minds and hearts. Again and again: Are you illegally blind or deaf to see and hear and think?

I think, you are the opposite, Both of you are not illegally deaf, blind thinkers? Which I believe is worseas I see it.
