The Middle Eastern crisis is a cultural conflict beginning almost five millennia ago. Although commandeered to suggest exclusively Jewish rights, the phrase "Promised Land" pertains to a legacy mentioned in the book of Genesis which is promised to the "Seed of Abraham" and which without doubt includes not only direct Jewish descendants, but also the Arab descendants of Ishmael. These are both Semitic peoples. Indeed, a greater proportion of Arabs might be heirs to this land than are the bulk of Israeli Jews because the latter are argued to be largely the descendants of 8th century Khazarian converts to Judaism having no Abrahamic lineage. It would follow therefore that since the 'Promised Land' was explicitly given to the 'seed of Abraham', Jewish converts per se have no true indigenous claim to Israel. They may merely be invited to enjoy such heritage. (see "The Thirteenth Tribe" and "Middle East - an historical view" below). This age old conflict is central to the wellbeing of all humanity. Until it is transformed and healed, humanity will perpetuate escalating turmoil and carnage.

Blind and cowardly support for Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people is the main factor behind terrorism. So-called terrorist violence results from the despair of Arab and Muslim people against whom Israel and the West - mainly the US - perpetrate continuing and escalating injustice. The real terrorist states are Israel, the US and the prostitute nations that support them in their perpetuation of atrocity and horror.

Violence committed in the name of peace and security, as committed and perpetually threatened by the prevailing G.W.Bush regime, is an insidious process which can only exacerbate humanity's suffering. The strength and longevity of peace and security is inversely proportional to the death and violence used to attain it. If tested according to the equation 'by his fruits you shall know him', G.W.Bush, his vampire regime and his prostitute coalition members can only be identified as an evil gang of liars, thieves and serial murderers. For the sake of human dignity these leaders must be tried for Crimes Against Humanity.
