It has been said that as go the Jews so goes the Earth. I believe this is true.

It is time that those who are the citizens of Israel and Palestine seize control of the climate of consciousness at this moment and not give in to the fear (or failures) of old cold war era leadership that has lost its resolution for peace. Those who are trained in war and have felt the flush of victory too easily give up on diplomacy before the job is done. It must be a truly trying, even exhausting effort at times. It is time, Israelis, to insist that your leadership NOT react to rhetoric and get back to the work of diplomacy or simply wait out the current situation.

Patience. Persistence.

Those of us who are citizens of the United States who were dedicated to peace previously will not now abandon this in order to support a surrogate attack on Iran. No such easy out. I believe in the young people of Iran. I have believed in them since I saw a sampling of them speak on an abc news magazine report from inside Iran by Chris Matthews around 2002 or 2003.

In the face of fear it seems a ‘suicide solution’ to wait it out. However, I would remind all that during the cold war a nuclear conflict by the United States with the old Soviet Union seemed inevitable. The tension was waited out and the end result was that the old Soviet Union collapsed. No longer was there the resources or resolution to continue this ‘cold war’ the world feared would heat up. There was just too much to lose by too many people.

I am asking you, Israelis, to believe in the young people of Iran who are at or nearing the age of public service, just as you would believe in your own sons and daughters to have your nation’s best interest at heart. After all, none of us really want war again. Not the common people of Iran, not the people of the U.S. and not Israelis. Understand that age old resentments are continued only if the reaction to the rhetoric of resentment continues.

In the face of your greatest fears and the most threatening rhetoric insist on peace. Then your leaders are commissioned to do what Peace does, which is to look for common ground, prayer fully appeal for Divine Help, use creative diplomacy and wait it out. To pull the trigger now would be to simply give the old worn out sources of resentment within Iran the reason to kill Jews that it would like to have. Do not give that darkness the permission that it desires. It will look for the slightest justification and has been attempting to goad Israel into striking for many years.

Understand that there are two forces at work to ensure that conflict does not occur. There are those within Iran that want peace and a hopeful future and there is the rest of the world that wants the same thing. See this as supporting your continued security as real as ties that bind. Even China needs Iran to remain stable so it can remain a source for its ever-growing consumption of oil. There is just too much to lose by too many parties involved.

Do not listen to those in places of public office who speak of the inevitability of a military conflict with Iran, but want to use the U.S. as its fighting surrogate. Israel is in this position as a place of potential peace-empowerment in order to find a way out that will re-pattern its own future and the future of humanity. There is no shortcut and no way around this.

No longer is the victim mentality of the post-WWII era appropriate. A homeland for Jews (who want it) has been established. Now it is up to you to dis-believe the fears rooted in a past that surely lives on in the pain and memories of those who were there, but which is NOT appropriate as a basis for current decisions. A great portion of the world stood up for Jews and WILL NOT allow such a thing to happen as happened in Europe decades ago.

The middle east is the Heart of the World and it is time in the face of fear to continue choosing peace not only for yourselves but for the planet. Insist on it. YOU are fighting for the heart of the world and what it holds. Let it be Peace!

It is time to envision peace by seeing the faces of those in both Iran and Israel happy and hopeful, relieved that the rhetoric is past and creating a new self government that moves past old suspicions and resentments and does the IMPOSSIBLE.

There are times when in order to create peace on Earth the IMPOSSIBLE must be done. It is YOU, Israelis, who must now insist on peace, for nothing that the rest of the world prays or wishes for you can happen without you. Now is your time for choosing.

See peace. Pray peace. Insist on peace and know that others are doing them same. Many of us know that we are not passive spectators in this world but are active participants in consciousness. We pray. We send healing energy. We send Love.

Know that those of us outside your pressure cooker situation feel compassion for the people involved, but still insist on peace no matter how hard it comes – not just for you, but for the entire world. IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT. Just know that if peace is achieved slowly, one step at a time in the middle east then it will be secured for the world for a long time to come.

In Love,
Kannon McAfee

Can we let the letter stay here until it grows wings and fits a specific forum?

It will be "solved" later in time, in a different age--The Age of the Millenium. Until, then, each person must choose his side. That is the individual choice and all we have and to which we are held accountable by God.

The Quantum Activist : Amit Goswami - Movie Trailer (1)

I really suggest that everyone watch this movie The Quantum Activist: Amit Goswami. This documentary is a conversation with a man who is a PhD professor of physics and who has explored consciousness in research. It marks for me, better than any other human document, the confluence of science and spirituality that shows our power as human beings. Dr. Goswami talks about how we must enter the plane of consciousness beyond mere wishful thinking in order to manifest what we desire.

This is how Peace is created – from a consciousness in a state of peace, bathing in it and giving it to the world. It can be sent anywhere anytime as a gift. Think of it as spiritual currency. We do this over and over and build up a bank of it that allows us to draw from it politically, economically, socially wherever humans live. That is my description, not Dr. Goswami’s words.

ami anne - sorry, i must respectfully disagree about choosing "sides"... part of the problem today resides in the fact that so many of us still hold firmly to the erroneous belief that there are sides to begin with...

sticking with "what ever was" is a sure recipe for keeping the past going, with all its grudges and bloodshed.

people would never have believed that ghandi could achieve what he did UNTIL he did it. ditto martin luther king, although there was blood shed at that time because ONE side decided to hold onto its might-makes-right philosophy. in the end the peaceful soldiers won on both occasions.

Yes, agreed...

What I think has happened is that because the WWII generation of Jews that suffered so much, and those many generations in Europe previous who were always considered second class citizens and segregated wherever they were, just 'took it' and took it for so long. Now that there is a Jewish homeland with real military intelligence and might they tend to be a bit bully-ish, overdoing in the other direction. We need balance.

Many Jews do not approve of this and know that Peace is actually possible. My friend Elihu is one here in the states. If you listen to what is in the minds and daily lives of many Israeli citizens this is true as well. Israeli doctors treating 'enemy' terrorists just as they would any other patient, and I'm sure similar acts of love and brotherhood from Palestinians and other non-Jews in the region.

We are talking about a battle for the Heart of the Planet - right in Jerusalem. Not who will own it, but what will inhabit it. Peaceful coexistence that sees the common roots of two cultures with a common ancestor or continued hate and resentments?

Peace IS possable. Like war, it is a heart/mindset. We need to choose wisely.

The highly irresponsible and dictatorial "mad" leader of Iran does not represent the majority population of Iranians who are highly educated, civilized and secular young people under 27 years old. Man for Man and Woman for Woman, Iranians today are as educated a Nation as any Western Country. The maximum number of foreign origin Engineering Professors by ethnic population percentage in USA are Iranian. This shows the intellectual prowess of this 5000+ year old civilization.

Likewise, the stunningly stupid Netanyahu and ridiculously naive Ehud Barak cannot represent the youthful, educated and secular majority of Israel who need job security than fear mongering. Israeli Citizens deserve a peaceful co-existence with all Arab Neighbors. Israeli populace can in fact be the number one allies of Arab Nations when they step into modern democracy.

I exhort the citizens to rubbish the sabre rattling of Ah"mad"inejad and Netanyahu.

The Western "thinktanks" and Sino-Russian strategists look at Israel and Iran merely as a means to an end for control of fossil fuels. They will risk the populations of these nations just to increase the stock price of their Oil Companies.

Be sure, Israel and Iran have sufficient nuclear and non-nuclear weapons to wipe each other out. Thus, to unilaterally attack Iran would be a Self-Holocaust by Israel.

Netanyahu and Ah"mad" have stashed away enough funds, they do not care about the consequences.

So, join hands, perhaps in neutral countries. Accept the endeavors of responsible nations like Brazil, Ecuador, Turkey, Germany and India for peace talks in these countries.

Let there be exchange programs of students and sports-persons from these countries.
Once people to people contact begins, there will only be a positive feedback of peace.

It is possible to accept honorable neutral Nations like Brazil and Germany to inspect the Iranian Nuclear Infrastructure.

With sufficient pressure, the Iranian regime will never succeed in developing a nuke, leave alone deploying one. In time, the Iranian youngsters will call the shots in politics and there will never be a need to worry.

This is my letter to the Human Beings in Israel and Iran.

Peace should be advocated at all costs. Not blindly, but professionally.
Hardly any genuine effort has been made for people to people contact.

You and I are not Jewish. We do not know how much the Jewish people suffered in the Holocaust. They are certainly not ready to lose another million citizens just so that Iran does not have the probability to build a nuke which can be successfully delivered.

India had its first successful Nuke Test in 1970s and even today, we do not have the capability to deploy nukes beyond Pakistan.

Iran will take 30-40 years of unhindered progress to develop enough nukes which can be deployed beyond Israel's excellent anti-missile defense systems, and this if Israel does not improve their systems. Israel's anti-missile defense and surveillance electronics is far better than the best in USA and Europe.

Iran is also not stupid. A nation does not exist for over 5000 years by being stupid.

They know that if they launch even one nuke against Israel, all the Western Powers will collectively annihilate them back to the stone age.

It is thus absolute mischief to consider any attack on Iran when they are a generation away from any threat. You think Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, Afghanistan and Syria will keep quiet when they see such an aggression?
You think their diaspora will keep quiet?

History testifies that the USA is the only country to use nukes against a Civilian Population. There is ZERO Moral Authority for the USA to preach to Iran.

Every time a Salimi lifts 250 kilos in front of cheering crowds in Tel Aviv, and millions of Iranians see that applause, the odds of any aggression from Iran drop manifold. Let Israeli Scientists and Iranian Scientists collaborate on agricultural growth. Allow Israeli Designers along with Neutral Nations to design Earthquake Proof Iranian Homes. Let the Humans see the Humans, the zealots can be packed off to the mental asylums.

Within the next 8-10 years, the younger generations will dominate Iranian Politics.
There is a huge resentment against the regime already.
They cannot afford to focus on sabre rattling, they need to address socio-economic issues only in the future. By then, if the Palestinian Situation improves, there will be no need for any conflict.

Intelligent means of peace discovery must be pursued at all costs.
