Peace Please! Although it is maybe too late and surely should have been done much earlier, if Hamas would just unilaterally release all remaining 100 Israeli hostages as the ICJ and the UN requested, it would gain more credibility as a party who wants peace. This would force Israel in the position of a need to reassess its strategy because most of its arguments against Hamas would no longer be valid. This could be a starting point for a permanent truce. There is absolutely no future for any party based on the narrative of its radicals..... everyone who wants to claim territory exclusively for themselves will only find eternal war, violence and destruction, whereas the moderates hold the key to peace by non-violent interaction and dialog as equals. This is the only path to replace fear and hatred by trust and solidarity and to solve the conflict forever. Since Gaza has been carpet bombed, it is and will stay uninhabitable for at least a decade. Chances on a two-state solution have therefore become minimal. The only way out of the conflict is thus to learn to live together as equals and to share the country as one union. Practically, it means in my opinion to go back to the times of Canaan and establish (democratic) autonomous local communities and flexibly spread them over the entire territory of Canaan. These autonomous communities can coexist and come together in two confederations of communities (nations), an Israeli and a Palestinian one, both sharing the country as a union, this is a hybrid outcome with elements of both a two- and a one-state solution. There is space for all cultural identities this way without any minority versus majority issues. Currently, such scenario seems very far fetched, but, the Israelis and Palestinians belong to Canaan and nobody outside is waiting for an(other) exodus of any of the two. www.canaan.community & www.pax.ngo & www.convergence.ngo

JAZZ FOR PEACE PROPOSAL IS AT 96% FAVORABILITY BY BOTH ISRAELI & PALESTINIAN PEOPLE!!!! These are the kinds of things that can be solved by the JAZZforPEACE historic proposal: https://lnkd.in/eMgK2rxW Dear Friends, HOW was Jazz for Peace™ able to unravel the Middle East fallacy you now ask? Here’s how we did it: We asked each person who was claiming to stand up for Israel in FAVOR of this war a simple question: “Why EXACTLY can't BOTH the Israeli and Palestine common people vote either FOR or AGAINST this NEW proposal where BOTH SIDES choose a cease fire with ALL FUNDS allocated for war efforts to be shared amongst outstanding causes to benefit ordinary people?” as detailed both here: https://lnkd.in/egdwUrPj along with the detailed interview and Frequently Asked Questions HERE: https://lnkd.in/e3Nh_25j Of which not ONE SINGLE PERSON could answer it. WHY? Because how is it possible to care a single iota about the Israeli people and at the same time want to TAKE AWAY their God-given right to VOTE for what they THEMSELVES believe in?

*W*I*L*T* What I learnt TODAY!!! A new NIGERIA 🇳🇬 is possible!!! I am a motorcycle enthusiast. That means wherever I go in the world, I first look for bikers. The love for the wind in our faces and the adventure of the road less travelled is our common denominator. This post is not about biking or motorcycles. Whenever I identify as a Nigerian, people get on their guard and then thaw down when they get to know me. It is always a mixed feeling of awe, pride, suspicion and then “Oh Wao” Nigerians are such gifted people. Yes. Like most people on earth, we have the good, the bad and the very ugly but most nations equally have these but for some reason, ours is broadcasted all over. I think this is because people wonder why such a great people who are found in very enterprising places all over the world can also be so demonized. This is why I, like millions of others will be attending the “Town Hall Meeting” shared below. It will be a meeting of likeminds who want to see the best of us, lead and govern the best of us and not the worst of us leading or governing the best of us. My nation is in crisis and dire straits. We can no longer sit on our hands ranting on whatsapp groups, cursing and railing at those in government. It is time to get involved in the electoral process of how we choose and elect our representatives in government. This is not limited to NIGERIA alone. This is the problem of AFRICA. At least, and as an opinion, most professional Africans on Linkedin who should be contributing to their respective countries are living abroad and developing those countries with their skills and knowledge. Maybe for some nations like Botswana who by my opinion are a people of pride and who seem to love their nation above all else. Pleae join us on October 1, 2024 at 4 POINTS BY SHERATON & let us talk, share, learn and reflect. HOW DID WE GET HERE? Won’t YOU join us???? Paul Orajiaka Will be there too. I will be there too. National building is about ALL OF US!!!

#DataIntegrity ensures the completeness and accuracy of #data, meaning all necessary data elements are present, uncorrupted, and accessible, thus maintaining the entirety of the information as intended. 🎧Please listen to the following short movie about the meaning of the word 'intifada'. And think about that for a moment with yourselves before you go back to shouting 'intifada' in the streets and then sitting in a pub. Then ask yourself: Do you recognize the State of Israel at its core❓️ If you do not recognize the State of Israel, then in the name of intifada, you are essentially calling for a solution of war for all. If you do recognize it, then you lean towards #peace an you look for solution. What is your choice? Data integrity is not only a methodology and a professional requirement but also a way of life. Making decisions based on information should rely on complete and reliable data. Are you making decisions about protests based on complete and reliable data?Think about this the next time you go out to the streets, or explain it to your children or your friends, because it's just sad to see.
