Fighting in Darfur has increased since a peace deal was signed in May. - 7-Jul-06 - Generational Dynamics

Palestinians and Israelis will soon go the way of the people of Sudan and Darfur.

Janjaweed militias continue to murder Darfur civilians, and all deadlines for implementing May's peace agreement have been missed, leading Jan Pronk, the U.N. envoy to Darfur and Sudan, to say that the situation was "worse" than it was before the peace deal.

Darfur genocide: The UN is completely irrelevant: It was just three months ago that Kofi Annan said "never again," referring to the 1994 Rwanda genocide.... (28-Jun-04)

Early in 2004, the United Nations held a conference commemorating the tenth anniversary of the 1994 Rwanda genocide, At that time, there were two ethnic groups in Rwanda -- the Hutus and the Tutsis. They had lived together for decades, had intermarried, had their kids play games with each other and so forth.

Then one day, a Hutu leader announced over the radio, "Cut down the tall trees." The radio announcement, which was heard all over the country was some sort of prearranged signal. On cue, each Hutu did something like the following: Picked up a machete, went to the Tutsi home next door, or down the street, murdered and dismembered the man and children, raped the wife and then murdered and dismembered her. Close to a million Tutsis were tortured, raped and murdered in a three month period.

It was only weeks later that "never again" was challenged by the situation in Darfur. Kofi Annan called on the world to stop the genocide there.

From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, the Darfur war is a "crisis war." I like to compare a crisis war to a tsunami, because a crisis war is propelled by a huge wave of people, motivated by hatred and fury, who can no more be stopped than a tsunami can.

If you wish to understand what's close to happening between the Arabs and the Jews, just look to Darfur, because the same kinds of emotions are involved. The trigger won't be "cut down the tall trees," but there'll be some trigger. (In fact, the trigger may already have occurred -- the kidnapping of the Israeli soldier.)

I hear talking heads on TV talk about a possible war between Israelis and Palestinians as being some minor thing -- a few people will be killed, the rest of the world will go on with life as usual.

Well, the war in Darfur can be ignored, because none of the major superpowers have any emotional connection to Darfur. Even among American blacks, there are few who feel a connection to Darfur.

But anyone can see how different the situation is with Israel. America has a strong emotional connection to Israel, and countries like Egypt, Jordan and Iran have strong emotional connections to the Palestinians. The coming war between Israelis and Palestinians will be like the Darfur war -- as unstoppable as a tsunami. But unlike Darfur, the Palestinian / Israeli tsunami will drown a lot of Americans as well. (7-Jul-06) Permanent Link
