Posted 12 July 2003

Jawohl, ein kleines Schreiben and die Israelische leute, jawohl...
Oops, only joking of course. Please let me introduce myself a bit towards the Israeli government and other folks. This along some small anecdotes:
Last year I was arrested for smashing some courthouse windows, well I wasn't actually arrested I just walked to the uniformed people and said 'I did this, my axe is still in my left pocket.'. Five days later I was released again and another six days later the Mombasa bombing was observed.
May be you think that this bombing was actually done to celebrate the birth of the Israeli state, but I think this was only 'coincidental'. Could the 'evil doers' tell that it was only because I was jailed? Who would understand that kind of talk?
Nobody would, because I am a nobody myself. 
So far the intro, as far as I know you had your last 'busride' on 11 June this year. Eight days later suddenly silence in your environment did set in. Or not?  

 

Part I: Intro to this letter;

For a long time I wanted to write a letter and tell a bit how I look at the present and past situation. Now this time has come to finally write it. It will be short in nature because I do not have the time and the material to write a complete book around this subject. 

In this intro I would like to ask you the next question; Israeli governmental figures, do you think that the USA is very important to the so called roadmap to peace? Do you?
Let me bring under your attention the latest visit of General Powell (from the State Department of the USA as you know), how many did die during his visit due to attacks?

Yes, I am listening, I don't hear you.... Oh you say there was one killed, some motorist or so. Yes, I know, but how many did you expect to die on this particular visit?
Again, I don't hear you. Sorry I don't hear you (may be I am deaf from all those bomb blasts, speak louder please!). 
Now, I still hear nothing. Well let me tell you my own estimate. I expected on average 7 deaths just from the visiting of Powell with a standard deviation of 2 or 3. 

Back to my original question around the relevance of the USA government, in case the Holy President of the USA would ask for a few days of silence who would listen? Who would listen? 

So this is my gift for you, there is a truce right now so please do not spoil it because my patience is not infinite. And the counterside of this gift is some deterrent I asked for at the so called 'global dogs'. This means that if you go too far from the roadmap that you will meet some big dogs in some desert, but please do not take this roadmap too literate (see part III for this).

Part II: Why do I like the mid east conflict&why do I like Israel?

Lets start with the last question, why do I like Israel? A lot of reasons, let me name a few. The first is some cold analytical kind of liking because I am very interested how a people recover in the long run from that what is know as the holocaust. Yes, this is very interesting and as you might have found out by now it is not a question of how bad it was but only if you are capable of recovering. So I look with interest at the developments in this.

Another reason might sound a bit strange but to me it counts, I like the mathematical work of Israel Gohberg. I never read much of him, but that finding of some '2-state' solution towards the equation Y' = AY was very beautiful. But we do not spoil the fun with all these technical details. 

And you must not think that I like you because you have nukes. This is a much to negative approach to me, better take a positive look at it; Who knows what true love can do? Who knows?

Now why I like this conflict? There is a very simple answer; it is the hate there is. Sorry if I do not sound very 'political correct' right now, but I just love that big big burning hate.
For myself speaking, I can hate with great enthusiasm too. And mostly I can turn my hate into some kind of art or some other stuff and go on with life, but that is exactly the point where you fail. Both parties are a bit lost in hate, and don't get me wrong; I just like the hate, but I do not like the suffering emerging from this hate.

More to say why I like this conflict, I truly think this can stop. I do not have much objective reasons or facts for this, it is just a feeling not based on any research whatsoever. And may be it is wise not to forget that long before this so called 'roadmap' was born I spoke already of some little wish of me of creating some real Palestine state.
So Israel, think a bit of the economical development of this new neighbor of you. And let me inform you I like speed with a capital S.
And when I ask the Hamas & company some exponential growth in the length of truce and so, I have the right to ask you the same on behalf of economical and tax matters. In poetic speech; You will feed the Palestines well and even give them enough 'Rice fields' to harvest year in year out. And you will do as you are told.

Part III: Some cheap behavior

This can be a short part, I just name two examples of behavior that I just do not understand completely. The first example is:

The truce was only a few days 'on the road' and suddenly some mosque had to be demolished. I don't even know the city anymore, may be Jerusalem may be somewhere else, but in the past this mosque was 'legal' and the latest years this mosque was 'illegal'. 

To me this was a clear example of so called cheap behavior, very cheap to try the truce out into directly breaking down a mosque. Let me be very clear on this subject, this kind of jokes are simply not acceptable because there was no immediate hurry to do this kind of demolishing. All I can say is, watch out because this works as some red flag on this bull, just watch out.

But there is more cheap behavior observed; About the release of those many thousand Palestine prisoners I can be short too. The fact that the release of prisoners is not on the White House roadmap is not relevant to me. That is all I would like to say on that, it is not relevant to me. 
Only the word 'deterrent' needs to be mentioned while whispered that this is not some silly busload or so. So do your work on this, I can understand you cannot let go all and at the same time, but I expect real progress on this behalf.

So saying that something is not on the White House roadmap is classified as cheap behavior, again let me ask you 'How relevant is the White House in this?' They can make fundamental contributions, but that is all the words says. Some fundament can be laid out, but that's it. They have some problems themselves you know.

Part IV: What else to say?

Yes what else to say? To much may be, and therefore I could bring it all together in the next words: Get used to the fact that you are into a completely different situation right now. Try to adopt to the characteristics of this new situation, you know your ways in Washington so use those ways but don't forget that it is me who decides what is relevant and what not.

That is all I have to say, I hope it was diplomatic enough and therefore relevant enough. Before we split I would like to bring to your attention again the so called 'One Million demon' (a symbolism to all deaths of the economical sanctions in Iraq). Read story nr 53 and try to indulge in some 'revisionist history' like asking yourself 'What does the existence of the state of Israel have to do with this One Million demon?' 

And now we split, sincerely yours, representative of the War Tribunal,

 

 

Reinko Venema.
