A dream regarding the children of Israel and Palestine

I dreamt last night of a pair of tribes of young children who were at war with each other, in a place which was empty & deserted, houses left intact yet with nobody living in them... These children would seek each other out amidst this wild wilderness, much of which nature had reclaimed, a place devoid of adults, devoid of active civilisation. They would war with each other without knowing why they fought, they did it only to satisy their tradition handed down to them since time immemoral.

And yet, they collected story books, wonderful books of truth, beauty, life & joy, they would read them without knowing how to read, knowing only that they were good, they would look at the words & pictures, hoping they could one day make sense of what they saw.

And yet, they had followed a white rabbit into an existence marred by the forces of Hell, which were corrupting their young minds, laying waste to their souls, leading them into the trap of a thousand generations. And yet, they still had hope, they still had their books, which they looked at with longing, each suffering to know the truth that would one day set them free.

May God open a path to reconciliation in the Holy Land, may the substance of this dream, reconciliation & redemption, become real to the children of the Israelis & the Palestinians, long lost cousins & yet making themselves warlords & feudalists. I don't know what the path forward is, but if things continue as they are, there will be none left but the children who are lost & unsure where to go & what to do. Instead of rebuilding their civilisation they remain tied to their conflict, unable to resolve the matter, destined to war forever..
