Hatred must be put to death

The Arab civilization is moribund, a prey to 

"deadly desperation, lethal indolence, disgraceful cowardice, despicable obsequiousness, effeminacy, miserliness, and egotism." (The Closed Circle, David Pryce-Jones, 2002; page 372) 

The picture of a post-oil world is a picture of the rehabilitation by the People of Israel of the peoples surrounding the Jewish people.  The post-oil world will be a time when Yaaqov will bring solace to Esav, and Yitzchoq will bring acceptance to Yishmael. 

The present task of the Jewish people is to minister to the dying of the Arab civilization and to bring about the next stage in the development of those Arab peoples into a fuller, more enlightened way of life. The People of Israel could remedy the backwardness of the Muslim world and bring to that benighted part of the world a regime of harmony and a love of peace. 

The People of Israel need first to put an end to the resource curse that is presently afflicting the Muslims. Then the Israelites will need to rehabilitate the weakened peoples of the region and to bring them forward into the 21st century and into the community of nations. For Israel to be a light unto the nations is for Israel to solve the problem of how do you put to an end the power/challenge system of governance, how to restore honor to a people who have been shamed into barbarity, how to establish a system of merit and accomplishment in the face of long traditions of money favoritism. The Children of Israel could bring back to the Middle East the stabilizing influence of mainstream religion into a region that has lost its soul to ecstacy and to the fleshly materialisms of the pagan gods. 

The first place to start would be with the Arabs of Israel. Israel could set an example for the Arab peoples all around the region, to show them what it might be possible for God-fearing Arabs to accomplish if only they would discard the ecstatic self-delusion and the honor/shame preoccupation that currently rules in their societies. 

The next step would be for the Arab and Muslim nations to stop their own self-destructive insanity and to accept and embrace the existence of Israel into their midst, as a way of demonstrating the advent of their own moderate natures and of their having become responsible actors in their own political lives and in the conduct of their international relations. Rather than embracing the fascistic leanings of the mid-century Germans, as the Arab elite now does – even to go so far as to try to deny the occurence of the Genocide – the new Arabs could take as exemplars the post-War Germans who have admitted their shame, who have renounced the madness of their past, and who have re-built a peace-loving center in the European continent, one that first and foremost embraces good relations with the State of Israel. 

The task of rehabilitating the Arab peoples will begin when they stop using their fanatical and illusory hatred of the Zionist influences in their midst as a rallying cry for their woes and their 'future glory.' Hatred, in the Arab world, must be put to death, as the German people have begun to try to do in Germany and as other Europeans and Japanese have begun to try to do in the other former fascist countries in Europe and Japan.
