All Quiet on the Western Front

The Holy Land, occupied by the Peaceful People of Palestine, over the longer term, with and of a belief in their history and regard for the spiritual sanctity of the land they stand upon. That Peaceful existence is not perfect, and who would not deny the violence inherent in their defence of that land, and their defended place on it. Would you call it Nationalism?
And on toward the later arriving nationalists, and their Jewish faith, accommodating to the land as only for the Jewish, they say; and writ large too in the political landscape of the, other, less voluminously faithful. And their deeds writ larger, in every part of our own landscape, selectively by some, passionately by others and emphatically still, by others. With each day the crimes are done, with each day the disturbed are empowered, with each day a new derelict morality declared. Would you call it Nationalism?
I would call only Nationalism, Nationalism, the Peace would settle the issue only before God, and the People.
To you this is the be all and end all of your world, to me naught more than the Beginning of anew.
Nationalism is naught to anybody.
