My Speech to the Jamaica Muslim Center Interfaith Meeting

I described three areas of international war or conflict: Russia-Ukraine. Hamas-Israel. and Tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea.

I explained that each of the three are different. Russian-Ukraine is “internecine,” an “in-family” fight. All are Orthodox and Slavs. Hamas-Israel is civilizational between two world communities with religious ties: Western “Judeo-Christian” civilization, and Islamic civilization. The Pacific conflict has two cultures and two roots. Asian culture versus Western Culture, and Religious culture versus Marxist culture.
I suggested that this level and intensity of war and conflict is greater than any of us have lived through in our lifetime.

The Path to Violence, and the Responsibility of the Citizen.

There are now two active, world-level wars cursing our planet, the Russia-Ukraine War, and the Israel-Hamas War.

These are happening during a period in which the perennial symbol for the harmonization of international differences, the United States of America has sunk into unimaginable internal strife in which the US government is holding political prisoners, and efforts are being made to imprison opposition party political candidates. Imprisoning political opposition is the characteristic of primitive, unstable dictatorships.
