Peace or War? For me, i would chose peace than a war because peace used to calm our minds that can help us to avoid some inconvenience which is still possible to have a war. War is a conflict between parties within a nation. I didn't chose war because i want some calmness and quietness to focus more on what i am doing.
"Israel and Palestine Conflict"
Saturday, October 7, 2023, with a coordinated surprise offensive on Israel. The attack/war began in the morning with a barrage of at least 3,000 rockets launched from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip against Israel. 2,500 Palestinian militants breached the Gaza–Israel barrier and massacred civilians in neighboring Israeli communities. While 1,400 Israelis were killed, including 260 people at a music festival in Re'im. Unarmed civilian hostages and captured Israeli soldiers were taken to the Gaza Strip, including women and children. The day later, Israel declared that they are at war.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is fueled by a number of elements, including racial, national, religious, and historical ones. Islam and Judaism dictate the role of religion as the main factor in the conflict, including the sacredness of holy places and the apocalyptic stories of both religions, which are harmful to any chance of a durable peace between the two parties. Religious Zionists in Israel demand that therebe no concessions to Arabs because they regard themselves as preserving the Jewish state. Islamist organizations support the liberation of "holy" sites and regions while endorsing violence and enmity towards Israel and the Jewish people.These organizations are found inPalestine and throughout the Islamic world. The possibility of long-term peace between the two factions is hampered by these religious issues.
The "peace camp" parties dominate the Israeli political landscape, which is based on parliamentary democracy. However, Israeli people are the target of Palestinian suicide bombers, diminishing their impact. This signalled a significant shift from the First Intifada's lower level of violence to a higherlevel of conflict settlement. The increase in Palestinian violence was interpreted by many Israelis as a rejection of Palestinian attempts to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict peacefully, undermining Israeli efforts to create Palestinian authority and supporting the idea that a lasting peace was impossible. The United States Institute of Peace works to strengthen diplomatic peacemaking efforts, improve community security for Israelis and Palestinians, empower Palestinian and Israeli civil society actors to foster trust within and between their societies, and develop institutional capacities that lay the foundation for a fair, peaceful, and long-lasting resolution to the conflict.
The fact that "In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one of the most intriguing elements Jews and Arabs did not see themselves as belonging to an ethnic or cultural group in 1850. Linguistically uniform, territorially based country in the modern understanding of the word." Both peoples had formed such solid national ties to the other in less than a century. They are destined to endlessly bleed the blood of their fellow claimants on the same parcel of land, in a perpetual struggle for power. The majority of academics believe that this battle began when the nation of Great Britain adopted a strategy for the in 1917, making it pretty clearly defined that colonization of Palestine in accordance with the demands of a group of politically active Jews who went by the name Zionists.
An unofficial security partnership made up ofIsrael and other Arab nations is referred to as the Arab-Israeli alliance. The countries that support the Israeli people are the US, UK, Australia, France, Norway, and Austria among others. These countries have not only been supporting Israel but also backing its rights to self-defence against the attack by Hamas. And the country that supports Pakestinian people is Saudi Arabia, Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian militant group that is an ally of Hamas.
Thousands of rockets rained down on areas in Israel in the first few hours. On October 17, Palestinian militias continued to sporadically shoot into Israel. The militant wing of Hamas, the al Qassem Brigades, claimed responsibility for 26 mortar and rocket attacks. Saraya al Quds, the militant wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), claimed responsibility for five additional rocket attacks. The al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the militant wing of Fatah, claimed responsibility for two Gaza-based mortar attacks on Israel. CTP-ISW also noted reports of five unclaimed mortar and rocket attacks. Attack frequency is similar to that recorded by CTP-ISW on October 16.
There is no question that some of the world��s greatest, not to mention the best value wines,happen to be blends.
Blending often means merging more than one varietal to create a favorable combination. At LIOCO Wine Company of Healdsburg, blending also means merging the flavors and positive characteristics of the same varietals sourced from different California vineyards within the same appellation to create something new, unique, and flavorful.
Since the winemakers at LIOCO Wine Company have always favored thosemid-range European“working man” wines from Burgundy, Piedmont, and the Mosel, their blends also capture a grander sense of place by blending quality grapes from multiple vineyards although from within a single appellation.
Does a blended Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley have a point of view? While a pedigreed, single-vineyard wine may haunt for its utter distinction, blended wines are often more consistent and fun to drink.Wines produced from the grapes of multiple California vineyards can offer a fine-tuned flavor not always achievable with a single vineyard varietal.
A visit to LIOCO’s Healdsburg Tasting Roomwill allow you to experience the distinct qualitiesand craftsmanship of their wonderfully merged blend from multiple California vineyards.
Here is a brief description of four of LIOCO’s unique, current blends available for sampling at their Healdsburg Tasting Room:
Estero, Russian River Valley Chardonnay
LIOCO named this wine Estero, the Spanish word for estuary, in homage to the river-born waterways approaching the local vineyards. The wine is a blend of three prized California vineyards—all dry-farmed and featuring the Old Wente clone, a vine introduced in 1912 from cuttings brought from France.
The anchor vineyard source was planted by the Cameron family in 1968, making it one of the oldest Chardonnay plantings in the Russian River Valley.
Incorporating production from this high-caliber vineyard, which some strictcommercially-minded wineries had previously overlooked, takes Estero to a higherlevel of taste and quality. Picked late but at low Brix (21-22 degrees) and fermented in entirely neutral oak, the profile of the wine is reminiscent of a 1970’s California Chardonnay—crisp, pure, and mineral. And it clocks in at a modest 12.6% alc.
La Selva, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir *Inaugural Release*
The Anderson Valley AVA is one of the last great wine grape-producing sites in California. In earlier times,Anderson Valley was home to apple orchards, later sparkling wine grapes, and today these California vineyards produce high-quality still Pinot Noir.
Twocontrasting climates prevail here —the cool, forested western side (aka “the deep end”) near Philo and the warmer eastern side near Boonville.
LIOCO produces wines from both places, admittingthe high tones of the “deep-end” sites and the sinewy grip of the vineyards around Boonville. Viva la difference!
Our inaugural vintage of La Selva (Spanish for the forest) is a blend of grapes from both areas.
The blend is sourced primarily from grapes of The Conzelman Vineyard, which rests on a slope of decomposed sandstone and fractured rock. Our LIOCO winemaker then “merges” a few barrels of prized Cerise Vineyard Pinot to give the wine a solid foundation of dark, brooding fruit.
The result is a dense but very lively Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.
Laguna, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Just south of Jenner is agreat surfing spot and “shark pit”mouth of the Russian River. After a surf, followed by a quick rinse, visitors can stop for a strong black coffee at Cafe Aquadicabefore making their way back into the towering redwoods along the Russian River.
Our Laguna Pinot Noir was named for the abundant lagoons along this enchanting stretch of coastline. The wine is a blend of three premier Sonoma Coast sites, including the Hirsch Vineyard, where we produce a vineyard-designate wine. The finished productbears a snappy, sweet & sour red fruitinessusually found only in the Pinot Noir from this region.
Following the drought years of 2013 and 2014, the wines herealso communicate a coniferous note—something like ground-up pine cones and redwood bark.
Come and experience this delightful blend at the LIOCO Healdsburg Tasting Room.
Sativa, Mendocino Carignan
At the ripe age of 83, amazing Jim McCutchen still farms by hand his improbable Carignan vineyard on the high ridges above Cloverdale. The rocky soil, steep slopes, and extreme temperatures would usually challenge the most well-equipped vineyard crews, yet this grower from another era does it alone.
The resulting LIOCO wine, Sativa, named for our favorite strain of Cannabis, comes from the oldest vines and ripest clusters. LIOCO’s winemakers employ a prohibition-era fermentation method (100% whole clusters beneath a submerged cap) that results in a unique expression of this underrated grape.
At first taste, Sativa is dense and powerful but still lively and drinkable. Black fruits intermingle with dried wild herbs and chai tea spice. This one is reminiscent of one of those expensive Kermit wines from the Languedoc.
