Toward Life-Coherent Peace in the Middle East
Sacred Memory, Structural Violence, and the Protection of the Life-GroundBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length1h 8m
About this audiobook
Toward Life-Coherent Peace in the Middle East offers a life-grounded framework for rethinking one of the world’s most wounded conflict systems. Moving beyond victory logic, punitive security, sacred entitlement, and moral denunciation, Dr Bichara Sahely asks what must be protected so that all affected peoples can live, grieve, remember, repair, and flourish without destroying the life-ground of others. Drawing on life-value ethics, peace theory, autopoiesis, structural violence analysis, and sacred memory, this audiobook proposes a simple but demanding discipline: no wound denied, no wound enthroned. Jewish trauma, Palestinian dispossession, Israeli fear, Arab and Muslim humiliation, Iranian insecurity, minority vulnerability, and external manipulation must all be acknowledged — but none may justify new life-destruction. Peace here is not the silence after violence, but the organized presence of life-supporting conditions.
