A Natural Law-Based Assessment of the Israel–Palestine Conflict

A Natural Law-Based Assessment of the Israel–Palestine Conflict Using the Universal Formula to Solve the Problem of Free Will By Angelito Malicse Introduction The prolonged war between Palestine and Israel is one of the most tragic and complex conflicts in modern history. For decades, it has caused immense human suffering, regional instability, and global political division. While many view this conflict through political, religious, or historical lenses, I propose an alternative and foundational approach: the application of the universal laws of nature that govern all decision-making, both individual and collective. This assessment uses my Universal Formula to Solve the Problem of Free Will, which is composed of three interconnected laws: 1. The Law of Karma (cause and effect in systems), 2. The Law of Feedback Mechanism, and 3. The Law of Balance (homeostasis in nature and society). When properly understood, these laws expose the root causes of the conflict and point toward a path of lasting peace and balance. 1. The Law of Karma: Systemic Defects and Predictable Collapse The law of karma, as defined in my universal formula, states that any system—natural or man-made—must be free of defects or errors to function safely and properly. If a system is defective, its effects will inevitably be destructive. Application to the Conflict: The root of the war lies in deeply flawed systems: colonial-era territorial decisions, religious exclusivity, imbalanced foreign policies, and the failure to recognize the mutual right to exist. Both the Palestinian and Israeli political systems have built-in defects, including corruption, militarization, and extremism. Every act of aggression, occupation, terror, or retaliation creates a predictable reaction—more violence, more instability, and systemic breakdown. Natural Law Conclusion: To end the war, both systems must undergo fundamental restructuring, removing systemic defects such as: Injustice Biased narratives Discriminatory laws Extremist ideologies Only by creating error-free, inclusive, and just governance systems can lasting peace emerge. 2. The Law of Feedback Mechanism: Distorted Inputs Create Destructive Outputs This law highlights that every mind—individual or collective—is part of a continuous feedback loop with its environment. The decisions of leaders, communities, and nations are shaped by the quality of information, beliefs, and experiences they receive. Application to the Conflict: Israeli and Palestinian societies are locked in a destructive feedback loop: trauma feeds fear, fear feeds aggression, and aggression feeds trauma. Internal feedback—education systems, media, religious interpretations—often reinforce fear, hatred, and victimhood. External feedback from global powers is often biased or unbalanced, reinforcing one side over the other and escalating division. Natural Law Conclusion: To restore peace, both societies must reprogram their internal and external feedback systems by: Educating youth with critical thinking and empathy Promoting truthful historical understanding Eliminating propaganda Demanding balanced international intervention
