Entertainment Overnight: America, What We Need to Do

One.

If We Could All Do Better After This Pandemic

Wouldn't it be incredible if all nations, the world over, took this event, this coronavirus pandemic as well as global warming and climate change, as a moment to give up war and all work together for the betterment of all people, all nations?

A guy can dream.

Be well. Be safe out there.

And stay at home.

Entertainment Overnight -- Happy Birthday, John

I hope one day we'll join up,

and the world will live in peace

Entertainment Overnight -- Imagine

I hope some day we'll join up, and the world will live as one.

The Way to Israeli, Palestinian Peace

I think the only way there could or would be peace between Israel and the Palestinians is if the following things--four rather simple things--could and would happen and as soon as possible.

First, the Palestinians must stop firing mortars on Israel.  They must also stop tunneling the area. Both, immediately and forever.

Second, Hamas and all Palestinians must recognize Israel and must formally recognize Israel's right to exist. Immediately.  Permanently.

Tbird, Israel must withdraw from Gaza. Again, immediately.

Fourth and finally, Israel must stop its attacks on the Palestinians and must allow Palestinians to trade and function, naturally. Again, immediately and permanently.

Simple. Easy.

Not that simple and unfortunately, likely impossible. At least impossible until minds are opened and changed, anyway. Impossible until the desire for peace and intelligence trumps the desire for war, fighting and revenge, as we have now.

Would that this all already took place, a year ago, two years, three, ten.

It would be nice--great, in fact--if it took place today.

It could happen.  It should.  It won't, it seems.

Ah, well, we can dream, can't we?

The Gaza strip is now unlivable. For the sake of humanity, the international community must require Israel to end this disaster

John Lennon: 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980

Imagine.

John Lennon's "Imagine", revised

I've always loved John Lennon's song "Imagine", as so many of us do. No surprise. Anyone who reads here (both of you) would likely be able to guess that, right? But I've always thought it had one problem. I've always believed it should be more inclusive and not require that "you join us" but that "we join together", period. Herewith, below, is how I think the lyrics should go, should have been written, with apologies to John Lennon, may he rest in peace, for my chutzpah: You may say that I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday we'll join up, And the world will live as one. See? There's a lot less self-assumption here that "I'm/we're right" and you need to join us. That, after all, is what causes wars in the first place. Peace, y'all.
