This is my take on the Russia/Ukraine conflict. First of all, war is measured by the count in lives. People are dying. Each life is father gone, a brother lost, a sister never seen again.

When you sit with all your own ideals and preferences, then war may seem to be a tool to work with. However, war is a tragedy, every time.

Our inability to stop it is a sign that the human race is immature and not ready to have dominion over the green earth.

Off cause there will be conflict, and doing war is something I am VERY good at. Being good at it, makes me very realistic and keenly aware of its shortcomings.

When hostages are coming back from Gaza, having endured hell on earth, I have failed my responsibility. That is how war is. If you are a leader, war is what you are supposed to avoid.

Those men and women who hang in chains for over a year, they are on me.

So why continue war, if there is a real possibility for people to go home and grow their little plants in their pots?

It is human beings we are sending to war. They are everything for their children. Everything. How can we, in good conscience, not see this.

I know, that I lost my chip in having a EU sponsored project by supporting peace. But I am not going to fund my projects with the blood of the innocent. I am not.

Because that is what it would have been.

Think about it, play a constructive role, don’t let your own motives overshadow that of human misery.

G-d bless the peace we will find inbetween Russia and Ukraine.
