Dear members of the Hizbullah,

You are the party of God - you have declared yourself to be the chosen, the selected, the noble - the ones who've chosen to follow Allah out of their own free will, and for the betterment of all his followers. Yet, Nasarallah is nothing but a conduit - he follows the order of the Syrians and Iranians and transfers them to you. Who gives them these orders? The Syrians are led by the generals, who have nothing but a fake and diminishing ego (a.k.a self-esteem) to guide them. Iran is led by the Ayattulahs who believe they are guided by Allah, but are in fact guided by their own weak awarenesses and by the politics and control of their fellows. Hitler did not control the other Nazi leaders, as much as he was controlled by them. Neither is any single Ayatalluh.

Listen to me! I am Shlomi Fish. The man. The legend. The Eternal Jew. I am the Messiah, and I am the most Powerful man on Earth. I have studied and perfected the arts of applied Ethics, applied learning and applied logic. Follow me, and become a Messiah as well!

You were always told to follow God, and be a good person, because God can punish you. However, God will not punish you no matter what you do. Instead, you should follow God out of his love: it feels good to be good. It feels good to do good things. It feels good to be productive and independent. Then, and only then, it feels good to be alive. Your "leaders" do no good, so they are miserable and wish everyone else to be. Don't listen to them!

I accept only orders from God. By God, I mean, the absolute reality, logic, and ethics. I am fully in control of myself, and God is by my side. Nasarallah and friends, on the other hand, are completely out of control. They cannot control themselves, yet they believe they can control others.

I, the Messiah, orders you to immediately stop this nonsense, and ditch your "elite" for being the idiotic, incompetent, cowards they are. Throw them to the streets, but do not harm them in any way. Justice should be pursued at almost all costs. Revenge, on the other, should be avoided. I wouldn't kill someone who killed one man, or someone who killed a million people. They deserve to live forever like everyone else, and after having to act like benevolent people for enough time, they too will become ones, and will regret their past acts. This is real justice.

Your leaders tell you that after you die you will gain eternal life in paradise. But how can you know that this is the case? Your mind cannot survive without your body. So death means sleeping without ever waking up. It means the eternal termination of your consciousness. Nothing can be scarier.

With me, I suggest you a better idea: let's work together on having youth-rejuvanating biological immortality. This way you can be young forever, while not contradicting the laws of nature. It cannot be done by killing people, but it can be done by freedom, the joy of creation, happiness and, yes, Capitalism. Perhaps you'll die before achieving this. But at least you'll have a long, happy and productive life, instead of the short and unsatisfying life as a peon at the control of the stupid and weak.

Once Lebanon is liberated, Solving will move on to achieve bigger goals. First we'll take Tehran. Then we'll take Beijing. Vampires of the world, unite!

Well, I've been talking with a certain Canadian friend on the IRC. He said he's been pro-Israeli until the tension in the North started. After Lebanon was devastated he concluded that "Israel was bad" and that the Hizbullah were therefore noble freedom-fighters.

I realise it's human nature to assume that if someone is doing something bad, then the one who opposes him is noble. But reality is often more complicated than that. The purpose of this entry is not to protect Israel, but rather to bring some facts about Hizbullah that will prove they are anything but noble, and certainly not freedom fighters.

1. The Hizbullah operate out of civilian residences. Thus, they realise the Israeli retaliation will harm civilians. If they cared about the well-being of the Lebanese civilians, they would have isolated themselves from them as much as possible.
2. The Hizbullah started the war.
3. The Hizbullah shoot misslies at Haifa, and at other cities and towns well within the territorial Israel. Many of these missilies contain small metal balls that are meant to spread around and harm people.
4. They identify themselves as Muslims. Islam is a religion, and everything that is a religion or identifies itself as such is harmful and destructive.
5. The Hizbullah do not fight against the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. If they are indeed freedom fighters, why aren't they doing exactly that?
6. The Hizbullah are controlled by Iran (which have been supporting a lot of terrorist activities against Israeli and Western targets), and are acting under the supervision of Syria (which has been hosting many terrorists).
7. The Hizbullah are one of the most popular charities in the Isalmic world. Many Muslims suffer from hunger, mal-nutrition or sub-standard conditions, and yet the Hizbullah still receives a lot of donations.
8. The Hizbullah kidnapped several Israeli soldiers. They did not let the Red Cross visit them, the whereabouts of some of them are unknown, and three of them were returned dead..

I'll let you draw your own conclusions. For more insights about the Hizbullah and similar issues consult my story "The Enemy and How I Helped to Fight it".

It's always the easiest thing to blame's one problems on someone else. Politicians and other people are notorious for repeatedly doing that. And as usual, Israelis tend to blame "the Arabs" for the problems that they encounter today. But is it true?

This entry is going to be very flamebait, but I have to say it. I admit that I also said to myself "Damn, Stupid Hizbullah" when the situation in Southern Lebanon and Northern Israel started, but as any good Neo-Tech person, I quickly returned to my sense, and started looking at my own backyard.

So here are the points to consider:

1. Nasarallah and friends are Doing What they're doing because they are Evil. The source of Evil is generally referred to as "Mysticism" in Neo-Tech literature. A Mystic has a shrinking self-esteem and keeps wanting to hurt others to temporarily relieve his self-esteem. See the Neo-Tech orientation for more details.

   A benevolent person generally does what he does in order to increase his or her healthy self-esteem. This self-esteem can be cognitively manifested in "fame", "money", "love", "getting work done", "peer repute" etc. All of these are generally positive values, that help a person later on in life, and just makes him feel good about himself, others and the worlds.

   Nasarallah and friends (but also many known and unknown Israelis) are causing more harm, because they need to reach new "heights" of negative achievements. The Neo-Tech link explains it better, but this was an executive summary. Just take it for granted.

   Evil does exist, and evil people too, as any person who has rudimentaly studied 20th century history knows. Evil people are capable of doing anything as bad as any evil that Tolkien could come with. However, as opposed to the formidable and often awe-inspiring Tolkienian evil, real-world evil people are generally dishounorable, lack most self-control, blame other people's for their problems, are incompetent, and generally invoke a lot of disgust.

   Note: a benevolent person can become a mystic and a mystic, given enough time and determination can return to be a good, non-harmful person.

2. The Israeli-Arab Conflict will not be Resolved Until Israel stops having Constitutional Racism - Israel has discrimination against non-Jews directly in its constitution. From uneven immigration and citizenship laws, to lack of civil marriages, divorces and adoptions, to uneven investment between Arabic and Jewish settlements. While this does not justify irrational hatred from the Arabs, it certainly is a very good cause for it. And it is very bad.

   Despite popular belief, a private person is allowed to be racist or even (peacefully) discriminatory. This is because discrimination does not involve force, threat of force, or fraud, which are the only unethical actions. However, a government being a public monopoly must not be discriminatory to groups according to some of their properties.

   We can often hear people saying that if Israel did not have consitutional racism, it would not remain a Jewish state for much longer, or that the Palestinians will take over. This is wrong. There are already a lot of Jews in Israel, and they aren't going to magically disappear. Furthermore, I'd rather have a liberal, free-as-in-freedom, prosperous country than a discriminatory Jewish country. Moreover, if anyone causes any trouble (whether Jewish or non-Jewish) he can be exiled or otherwise ostracised.

   Finally, in Israel today there are many immigrants who are neither Jewish nor Arabs: Romanian, Philippinos, Chinese, Thais. They are hard working and passionate. Surely most of them have a precedence for getting a citizenship over the random trouble-causing Arab nationalist.

   Israeli does not belong to the Jews. No country can prevent a lawful person from immigrating to it, living there and working there. Otherwise it's exercising force in trying to get the person to leave. It's high time Israel officially becomes the Land of the Israeli and Israeli-wannabes (which it is in practice) instead of "the Land of the Jews".

This is the ultimate cause of most of the troubles Israel been having, and a lot of the criticism applied to it from the outside. I don't expect anti-Israeli terror activities to immediately stop after such a reform will be made, but after it, there won't be any real-life basis for feelings of hatred towards Israelis, and thus they won't survive for long.

For more information refer to my "A Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict", as well as my story "The Enemy and How I Helped to Fight it". The latter was written with a lot of inspiration from the situation at the Israeli-Lebanese border (back in 1996), but has a universal message, and it is very possible many Israelis who read it will feel uncomfortable about the ideas behind it. (I've started heavily revamping it recently, but am still in the process, and don't have something final).

If you're reading it and is a Lebanese, be aware that my advice about not blaming other people for your own problems applies to you too. The best way to prevent the continuation of the fighting is to give an ultimatum to any Hizbullah activist you know to either leave it or otherwise be outcasted by you an other. Something like "Either you leave this wretched organisation or don't talk to me again." If the Hizbullah people will lose all their friends this way, they'll quickly stop this insanity.

Like I said, I know this post was flamebait, but I had to say it because I'm tired of people or countries blaming other entities for their own problems. Feel free to reply to this post, but please be civil, and avoid Logical Fallacies.

Cheers!
