Sept. 11, the day that coexistence died
By Bradley Burston

Note: This article will be followed by an experiment. In an effort to foster rational dialogue, Talkback responses to this piece will be subject to stringent new guidelines, as specified below.

______________________



This century is only a few years old, but it has already succeeded in making of hope itself, an orphan.

This week we mark the watershed event of the young century.

The intent of 9/11 was an uncompromising, open-ended war to the death with the American Empire.

It was, as well, a declared war against accommodation with Westernization and Zionism, and, as such, also a war against the possibility of coexistence.

In the Middle East, where the 1990s were marked by cautious hope for peacemaking, the 21st Century has been one of continual bloodshed, the salting of old wounds and the opening of new ones.

In theater after theater of armed conflicts between Jews and Arabs, and between the U.S.-led West and the Muslim Mideast, if, as always, the first casualty of war was truth, moderation and co-existence were the next to go.

Whether by design or circumstance, one result has been a radical change in the discourse between Arab and Jew, Muslim and non-Muslim, the West and the non-Israeli Near East.

The confluence of world-straddling terrorism, war in the territories, and war in Afghanistan and Iraq, has put paid to a host of co-existence projects born in the decades that came before.

Israeli military operations and policies in Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon have effectively undermined the efforts - and the motivation - of peace-minded Palestinian and Lebanese to work for peace agreements and to oppose the extremists in their midst.

Palestinian suicide bombings in Israeli cities, and Qassam rocket barrages on the Negev following the withdrawal of settlers and the IDF from the Gaza Strip, have gutted the ideology and the expectations of Israel's left and moderate center, dashing hopes of forging a peace in the foreseeable future with two independent nations living alongside one another.

Hezbollah's border kidnappings and recent rocket attacks on cities, towns and villages in the north in retaliation for IDF bombing and shelling in Lebanon, served to unite Israelis in the sense that jihadists would answer a withdrawal to UN-recognized lines as an invitation to demand further pull-backs.

U.S. and allied invasions and military occupations of Afghanistan and, in particular Iraq, coupled with a wave of Iraqi insurgent bombings unprecedented in scope, frequency and lethal consequences, have raised serious questions among Iraqi and other Muslim moderates as to the motives and capabilities of the West as proponents and guarantors of a future peace.

Under the circumstances, it could be argued that in the post-9/11 era, belief in co-existence is the province only of children or fools.

Under the circumstances, it could also be argued that those who still believe in co-existence have been shouted down, brow-beaten, driven underground by the passions for revenge, the pains of grief, the sheer shock of violence that has passed for daily life here since well before September 11.

Under the circumstances, I have a confession to make. I still believe in coexistence. Despite everything. Despite all the substantive evidence to the direct contrary.

I still believe that at heart, the great majority of the residents of this benighted land, this accursed region, desire peace more than they desire blood vengeance.

I believe that the great majority of Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, and Israelis, all of whom share a formal state of war, are human beings first, children of the same God more than they are worshippers of the same gun.

I understand that generations of fury and hurt cannot be dispelled with words, and that fresh grief cannot be assuaged with dialogue. But I also believe that the leaders of the nations at war are the last people we can hope to make peace for us.

It may be a drop in an ocean of hatred, but it is time to buck the prevailing compulsion to blame, vilify, and incite hatred against the other people in this place, none of whom are planning just to leave this area to their present enemies. It is time to see if there is any danger of dialogue breaking out.

It is September 11 again. As good a time as any to start.
