While pro-Palestine protests are underway in the US and around the globe, the World is distracted by the news of a totally political sentence for a protester in Iran. While the world is distracted, the situation is so tempting for Netanyahu to commit another human catastrophe in Rafah.

This sentence should be overturned so that the world concentrates on Netanyahu who is undermining whatever the free world stands for.

UPDATE 1:

This is not the news of the execution of a protester or suppression of women in Iran, this can very well facilitate the death of an uncountable number of people in Rafah.

To guide a country out of an economic crisis, a leader should be capable of saying more than obvious things, such as “the economy should be improved” or “factories shouldn’t be closed”. Anyone knows those things, no need for further clarification.

UPDATE 1:

On Saturday I was told to go to Dubai. It seems they are doing all that to portray me as a coward who fled. I will stay longer. However, it has always been very easy to catch me.

The free world is bounded by its values. Upholding human rights, freedom of choice, abiding by the rule of law, etc. The best way to defeat the free world is to target those values. Double standards undermine the values. Recently Blinken said the US has no double standard about Israel. The world, especially the global south should be convinced that there is no double standard about Israel or any other country.

As an example, it is utterly unacceptable to stop funding UNRWA which is a critical element to avoid deepening human catastrophes in Gaza. Claims that among thousands of workers in the organization, some number of them aided Hamas does not authorize endangering the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

There are much better ways to protect the security of Israel than totally undermining its reputation globally and provoking antisemitism.

UPDATE 1:

However, it’s important that condemning human catastrophe in Gaza is not antisemitism. In the future free Palestine movements should be integrated with solutions where Israel and Palestine live in peace side by side. That will be the opposite of antisemitism.

UPDATE 2:

In a predictable move, in the middle of the morality police suppressions, Iran sentenced a protester to death hoping this would terrify people. They should find a solution to terrify inflation and ever-decreasing social welfare.

The world tried hard to prevent the war, however, the world will not participate in suppressing people and human rights violations.

Since Russia is at war with Ukraine, more US politicians are now concerned about the US being dragged into a similar war. The pressure from the free world persuaded the Israeli government to respond in a controlled way. This means that in the future Netanyahu will need to avoid such risky moves that may put the free world at risk.

UPDATE 1:

The Gaza war is now irreversibly linked to the Ukraine war and this is an important development. This will make a huge difference.

Recent incidents showed the world how fragile world peace can be. Being a few steps away from a disaster, which would impose unpredictably huge costs on everyone around the world, can be treated as a vaccination for future tensions. All sides are urged to do their part to de-escalate the tension.

So many mission impossible have already been accomplished. If Iran retaliates militarily, this is no longer a test, this is an act of war.

UPDATE 1:

Iran threatened that if Israel attacked nuclear sites, Iran would take revenge. Israel didn’t. This is a draw. The story ends here.

This is the time for harnessing collective intelligence. People shouldn’t expect superheroes to do unnatural things. Instead, this is a process to harness the power of the community, and inevitably make lots of mistakes along the way. If there is one person who knows it all then what’s the use of the community? There is no such person at this time and that’s the point.

UPDATE 1:

To clarify this is in response to another conversation where people were looking for a perfect person and I said there is no such person at this time. That conversation took place elsewhere and I thought I had to clarify it here. This has nothing to do with my previous posts.

This post is aligned with previous posts about collective intelligence as opposed to central intelligence.

UPDATE 2:

This is the true reflection of the incommodities of central intelligence. One person (or a small group of people) can make an irrational decision that endangers the lives of millions. That is the point of all that.

UPDATE 3:

there is no magical fast-track solution to solve all problems. Platforms should be built and based on learning the curve gets better and better over time.

UPDATE 4:

Before Iran’s response, the war could be stopped or at least controlled. No matter if, in response, people are killed in Lebanon, Rafah, Iran, Israel or elsewhere, people might be killed and that could be avoided.

Costly learning process. That’s not how the learning process should be.

UPDATE 5:

Hit and run? I’m here and I’m not going anywhere.

Today Raisi said things he had said before. People will be remembered for the bridges they built. This is a battle to build connections between people of different races.

The difficult job is to stand against the flow of incidents that divide. That’s the mission impossible.

UPDATE 1:

Israel and other countries showed they could effectively defend Israel. However, it has been proven that Israel is vulnerable to antisemitism. People who advocate military action, provide no solution for this security risk.

UPDATE 2:

Netanyahu’s only achievement in this incident is that the global community now support him on this issue. But that is being discarded as he is defying everyone. By responding to this totally failed attack, Netanyahu risks turning Iran’s vivid failure into chaos.
