Who am I?
Why are we all asking this question to ourselves?
Why am I writing this right now?
Why are you reading this journal?
Why?
Maybe we shouldn't ask questions, because their answers are null like them.
Hope none of you will try to answer those questions, so it won't remind us how empty those answers are.

Balance and Recycle
2 min read
Every single thing in reality is based on balance and recycle.
We wake up full of energy and we go to sleep without energy.
We grow our food, we eat it and then we throw it back to the ground.
We are depressed and suddenly when the depression is over we are extremely happy.
We love it and then we get bored of it.
We hate it and then we understand it.
The contrast is everywhere.
The contrast is the two extreme sides that define what is the balance.
If we accept the reality, then we don't need any truth.
If we stop to ask questions and we stop to follow suggested answers, then we start to understand who, why and what we are.

What is emptiness? this is what we are supposed to feel when we stop to keep our mind busy on artificial thoughts.
Close your eyes and stop to think.
Descartes was wrong, "I think there I am" means nothing, but just causing problems.

Arab - Israeli Conflict.
6 min read
Wars:
1948 - The 1948 Arab–Israeli War or the First Arab–Israeli War was fought between the State of Israel and a military coalition of Arab states and Palestinian Arab forces. This war was the second stage of the 1948 Palestine war, known in Arabic as al-Nakba, and in Hebrew as the Milkhemet Ha'atzma'ut ("War of Independence").
1956 - The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the Tripartite Aggression, Suez War, or Second Arab-Israeli War, "Operation Kadesh", was a diplomatic and military confrontation in late 1956 between Egypt on one side, and Britain, France and Israel on the other, with the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations playing major roles in forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw.
1967 - The Six-Day War, also known as the June War, 1967 Arab-Israeli War, or Third Arab-Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967, by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria.
1969 - The War of Attrition was a war fought between Israel and Egypt from 1967 to 1970.
Following the 1967 Six-Day War, there were no serious diplomatic efforts to resolve the issues at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In September 1967 Arab states formulated the "Three No's" policy, barring peace, recognition or negotiations with Israel. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser believed only military initiative would compel Israel or the international community to force a full Israeli withdrawal from Sinai, and hostilities soon resumed along the Suez Canal.
1973 - The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War, or October War, also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War and the Fourth Arab–Israeli War, was a war of aggression fought by the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973.
1982 - The 1982 Lebanon War, called Operation Peace for Galilee by Israel, and later known in Israel as the Lebanon War and First Lebanon War, began on 6 June 1982, when the Israel Defense Forces invaded southern Lebanon. The Government of Israel launched the military operation after the Abu Nidal Organization's assassination attempt against Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Shlomo Argov.
2006 - The 2006 Lebanon War, also called the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah War and known in Lebanon as the July War and in Israel as the Second Lebanon War, was a 34-day military conflict in Lebanon, northern Israel and the Golan Heights. The principal parties were Hezbollah paramilitary forces and the Israeli military. The conflict started on July 12, 2006, and continued until a United Nations-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning on August 14, 2006, though it formally ended on September 8, 2006 when Israel lifted its naval blockade of Lebanon.
Major Operations & Important Events:
1948 - The Israeli Declaration of Independence, was made on 14 May 1948, the day before the British Mandate was due to expire. David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization and the chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel.
1979 - The 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty was signed in Washington, D.C. on 26 March 1979, following the 1978 Camp David Accords. The Egypt-Israel treaty was signed by Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and witnessed by United States President Jimmy Carter.
1987 - The First Intifada was a Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories, which lasted from December 1987 to 1993. The uprising began in the Jabalia refugee camp and quickly spread throughout Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
1994 - The Israel–Jordan Treaty of Peace ,was signed in 1994. The treaty normalized relations between the two countries and resolved territorial disputes. The conflict had cost roughly US$18.3 billion. The treaty was closely linked with the efforts to create peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The signing ceremony occurred at the southern border crossing of Arabah on October 26, and made Jordan only the second Arab country, after Egypt, to normalize relations with Israel.
2000 - The Second Intifada, also known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada and the Oslo War, was the second Palestinian uprising – a period of intensified Palestinian–Israeli violence, which began in late September 2000 and ended around 2005. The death toll, including both military and civilian, is estimated to be over 3,000 Palestinians and around 1,000 Israelis (Jews and Arabs), as well as 64 foreigners. A 2005 study conducted by Israel's International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) concluded that Palestinian fatalities have consisted of more combatants than noncombatants. Up to 2005, the ICT puts Israeli combatant casualties at 22% and civilian at 78%.
2006 - In its election manifesto for the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, Hamas omitted a call for an end to Israel, though it did still call for armed struggle against the occupation. Hamas won the 2006 elections, winning 76 of the 132 seats to Fatah's 43. Seen by many as primarily a rejection of the Fatah government's corruption and ineffectiveness, the Hamas victory seemingly had brought to an end 40 years of PLO domination of Palestinian politics.
2008 - The Gaza War, known in Israel as Operation Cast Lead and in Gaza and by Hamas as the Gaza Massacre or the Battle of al-Furqan was a three-week armed conflict in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Palestinian militants during the winter of 2008–2009. Israel maintained that the campaign was in response to an increase in home-made rocket attacks on Israel, which since 2001 have killed 26 Israelis. It began on 27 December 2008 and ended on 18 January 2009 with each side declaring a unilateral ceasefire.
2010 - The Gaza flotilla raid was a military operation by Israel against six ships of the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" on 31 May 2010 in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The flotilla, organized by the Free Gaza Movement and the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (İHH), was carrying humanitarian aid and construction materials, with the intention of breaking the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip.
2012 - Operation Pillar of Defense was an eight-day Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in the Hamas governed Gaza Strip, officially launched on 14 November 2012 with the killing of Ahmed Jabari, chief of the Gaza military wing of Hamas. According to Human Rights Watch both sides violated the laws of war during the fighting. The Israeli government stated that the aims of the military operation were to halt rocket attacks against civilian targets originating from the Gaza Strip and to disrupt the capabilities of militant organizations.
Total Casualties On Israeli Side From 1920 - 2012: 24,526
Total Casualties On Arab Side(Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese and Palestinians) From 1920 - 2012: 90,785
