Present Wars weren't Caused by Hate

 Hate is a pop term these days of course yet wars occur more for financial reasons these days with social inertia and economic and social pressures driving conflicts. Hamas is a gang of terrorists with sponsors that have their own motives. If Gaza is put on parole for 20 years and with good behavior having all rights restored maybe the lunatic gangsters won't takeover again. There are real organizational and social dynamics in that particular conflict that need be realistically addressed. The hate thing in my opinion is a way of deflecting responsibility from those that actually can positively change economic and boundary issues that stim conflict. Do the 1 percent really care if gangsters in Gaza use their own people for human shields or if Ukrainian and Russians kill each other? Some actually profit on it.

Sartre's 1000 page 'Critique of Dialectical Reason' in which he investigated organizational structures of humans experiencing life. It would be difficult to make a brief bite-sized explanation of what Sartre's thesis was and how it functions in regard to a specific setting like the Taliban and Afghanistan. Needless to say hate is not the essential factor. Women's rights in Afghanistan were a challenging problem for many of the west. Yet without a western level economy many of the western level prerogatives of females were not practically attainable. Sociology is a deep field itself, yet Americans tend to want to apply technical fixes superficially without much understanding of why certain social conflicts evolve or how to mitigate the damage. Vietnam was the first modern case in point and their have been several others.
