But I asked .+oot3AM patient [dr.crawboney-AT-gmail.com] because his email made little sense. If the setting of a communication is not that to be expected from both sides, assured by conventions and history of the communications, in my eyes something has to be said about this aberration from all friendly - in order to make oneself understandable - conventions. But to your email: the idea of harmonizing and intelligence is intelligent in itself. The easiest and often not very intelligent way to harmonize with something that one don't like, is it to make it vanish. To be a little funny: "Where did you got your license of existence here from? - If I did it you didn't get one" In case of the state Israel the license of existence comes from the UN in 1947- the Arabs vote against it - , but also from its precedent from the first world war the "union of nations" ("V=F6lkerbund" in German), which was dissolved in course of second world war. I f one looks good for the argument one could say, the Jews or the Israeli are some kind of strange in this region. This is even said by Hegel, who give a picture of the Jews of being something like a foreign body only having relationships on the basis of juristic ones with their neighbors. But that is long ago and the Jews had been a lot of time in the Diaspora - as we all regrettably know. But I don't have the impression that the Arabs themselves harmonize much better with one another. And the Jews come from Israel. But as I look Israel it is the state with the best flourishing economy, not based on oil nor on tourism. That is something in the middle east which should be model like. In my eyes the hate on both sides, where Israel also plays a very uniting role for the Arabs as common enemy, is really not intelligent nor has something to do with harmony - taught by all three religions involved and also the secular enlightment. To add some literal experience: The first one in my youth is "Exodus" by Leon Uris, describing the first arabic-israelean war in 1948 - its hard to resist to take not side for the new coming Israelis reading that. The second one is from an isrealian woman called Guaidi - based on historical research from isrealiean universities. "The beautiful Orivida". It plays in the Spain of the 16th century, the young Orivida is the wife of a Jew who sells wine to the king. The Catholics made a law against Jews, so they got in trouble and has to leave the court. He died and she sells the wine alone in the country. Also being protected by a member of the local government who of course fall in love with her, she was raped by a member of the local Aristicrocracy, and for that - having sexual contact out of marriage - put in prison. I think this is a things in social life give rise to a lot of feelings of real indignation and impulses to revolt: To be obliviously mistreated and the mistreatment has even more bad social consequence up to degrading in social status for a long time. This is also because of faulty accusations. So you are poor and get no good education and then you get no job at all or no good job and are even laughed at as being not educated, not express you, having a poor personality, and being even material poor as a result of that. She also got a little trouble with the most prominent Jews, because she was rich and some kind of aristocrat, so she was a danger to their dominance in the Jewish suburb. And the end she escapes with her lover from the government to Portugal. It looks somewhat like a realistic picture of the time and the Jews - who are not solely sympatric. This has also something to do with Spinoza, because that was the start of prohibiting open Judaism, forcing to convert to Catholicism, which results in the escape of the parents of Spinoza to Amsterdam. Harmony second: On the other hand there is the way of harmonizing in a mathematical way - which expresses the mechanical way in a broad sense. A function is called harmonic if every point is the mean value of its values on the surrounding spheres. This is also something in everyday social life, where everyone tries to make the other he meets to be like he himself, resulting in thinking ideal case that all are adapting to one another so that being the mean value of ones milieu is the resulting stable state of affairs. This is the thought song of the psychologists: "Mal adapted." But some, not so much, people are trying which much more force to adapt the other not them, but to conditions they think they can handle the best. This is something like the the will and action to dominate. Insofar is the mathematical way of harmonizing even a little bit pictured to democratic and peaceful compared to social reality. If you see the adapting together with the processes of buildings of identities by crisis or education, you got an impression. Now the struggle is that there are figures, forms, personalities and so on. so, adapting to much some to people one cease to be was one is, important for ones identity - as a professional, as a self-conscious being, being sensitive and sensible. greetings Harald Wenk -----Original Message----- From: deleuze-guattari-bounces-AT-lists.driftline.org [mailto:deleuze-guattari-bounces-AT-lists.driftline.org]On Behalf Of adline vanlindenbergh Sent: Donnerstag, 3.

"There has been a small kingdom in Israel by the Western Kingdom, which lasted something like 50 years The Israel occupation and living on this part of continent could also have a duration of 50 years. It just maybe possible to view that why there is in Brussels, and I imagine elswhere in Europe a wave of Polish people, why not other waves of inhabitants, from Africa Israel Corea etc. Why not follow Ahmaninejabs advice and let Jews return to Europe. There is a lot of problems ahead if we do not plan ahead: we would need firstly no ghettos, but secondly intelligent managerbrain of ethnic viable harmonics of the ethnicities. Ethnicities as part of modernity, modernity being precisely the moment wherin we can learn to live together harmoniously. Ethnicity as a material from which combination arrise in variability and joyful activities. Intelligence of the way of living together should be learned, and produced, by the help of art, philosophy . Other continent will follow the move and forget all these nationalist weight. At the time America blocks its frontiers, Europe could open them. Europe is void of a meaningful political program. Let it be it, a space a continent where all world impossible issues find their solution by intelligence. Let us work towards that goal." Queen Itzabillya's discourse on the platform.
