The Borders We Share: A New Way to Fix a Broken World
Bonus Post: The Sands of Unity: A Multidimensional Tale of the Middle East
Preface
This is a multidimensional allegory rooted in real-world pain and possibility. It blends fiction, facts, faith, legal and political theory and public international law to imagine a path forward through one of the world’s most enduring and complex conflicts. By weaving together voices from history, scripture, and diplomacy, this narrative invites reflection, not resolution — a space to reimagine peace through shared humanity.[1]
The Sands of Unity: A Multidimensional Tale of the Middle East
The desert air shimmered with a heat that carried the echoes of ancient hymns, the dunes stretching like a golden sea beneath a sky ablaze with stars. A tent rose from the sands, its crimson fabric fluttering like a living pulse, its interior aglow with the flicker of oil lamps that cast dancing shadows across a map woven from threads of light and memory. This was no ordinary gathering—it was a crucible where the weight of Israel and Palestine, the shadow of Iran, and the whispers of distant lands converged in a storm of hope and strife. Dr Jorge Emilio Núñez stepped into this sacred space, his holographic map unfurling like a living tapestry, its pulses weaving a story of multidimensional magic to bind a fractured world. This tale mirrors the tempests of the region, where claims clash over sacred soil, the agony of hostages kidnapped by Hamas lingers, and the past—marked by Iran’s distant strikes in Buenos Aires—casts a long shadow over the present, a reminder of wounds that still bleed into the global fabric.
Inside, the tent thrummed with presence. Moses stood tall, his staff carved from the roots of Sinai, his eyes carrying the fire of a people’s exodus and the dream of a promised land. Jesus, his robes soft as dawn, radiated a peace that seemed to still the air, his gaze a bridge between worlds. Mohammed, cloaked in the green of prophecy, his voice a resonant call to unity, stood with the strength of a community’s faith. Dr Jorge, guided by the wisdom of Cosmopolitanism and Sovereignty Conflicts, raised his hands, inviting them into a narrative not of division but of shared destiny. “This is no battlefield of stone or steel,” he said, “but a dance of dimensions where every heart, every land, finds its place.” Around the map gathered current leaders—Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine, Ebrahim Raisi and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran, Vladimir Putin of Russia, Donald Trump of the United States, and Javier Gerardo Milei of Argentina—each with arguments to justify their actions, their voices rising like the desert wind, ready to engage in a dialogue that might reshape the sands.
The Gathering Storm
The tent’s crimson walls seemed to breathe with the weight of history, the oil lamps casting a warm glow over a map etched with the scars of conflict—Jerusalem’s golden dome, Gaza’s battered shores, Tehran’s shadowed spires, and the distant echo of Buenos Aires’ shattered streets. The air carried the scent of sage and salt, a reminder of the rivers that cradled revelation and the lands that bore the weight of exile, now mingled with the tension of a region torn by war and the anguish of kidnapped hostages. The map pulsed with the struggles of the Middle East, where Israel’s borders met Palestine’s cries, where Iran’s reach stretched from its own soil to the ruins of Argentina, and where the influence of Russia, the United States, and Argentina wove a complex web of power and pain. Dr Jorge stepped forward, his voice a storyteller’s spell. “This is our stage, where leaders, communities, and states dance together. Let us hear their truths, confront their wounds, and seek a path beyond.”
Around the map stood a constellation of voices, each a vivid stroke in this unfolding epic. Benjamin Netanyahu, his presence commanding, spoke with the resolve of a leader defending his nation, flanked by a diaspora elder from Brooklyn whose family had fled pogroms. Mahmoud Abbas, his eyes weary with the burden of his people, raised a voice for justice, joined by a refugee from Gaza and a West Bank community leader with hands scarred from olive groves. Ebrahim Raisi, cloaked in the authority of Iran’s government, and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the spiritual guide whose decrees shaped the nation, offered a stance of defiance, their words carrying the weight of faith and power. Vladimir Putin, with the cold precision of a strategist, outlined Russia’s interests, invited for his nation’s stabilizing role in the region. Donald Trump, his tone brash yet calculated, pushed for a deal-making vision, included for his past mediation efforts like the Abraham Accords. Javier Gerardo Milei, his voice trembling with the memory of Argentina’s pain, sought reconciliation, his presence a bridge to a wounded past. The air thickened with their arguments, a storm brewing over the sands as these leaders prepared to face the wisdom of scripture.
Dr Jorge’s hologram flared with light, a beacon in the fray. “From Cosmopolitanism, I bring a vision to split this conflict—not with swords, but with shared dreams across dimensions. Let each leader speak, and let Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed guide us with wisdom from the Torah, Bible, and Quran, engaging in a dialogue to challenge and heal, addressing the hostages, genocide, and self-defense.” The assembly leaned in, drawn by the promise of a story that might mend the wounds of pride and pain, their breaths held as the dialogue began to unfold, a conversation where arguments would meet counterarguments in the crucible of faith and reason.

The Voices of the Multiverse
The tent vibrated with a chorus of voices, each a thread in this tapestry of struggle, rising like the desert wind. Benjamin Netanyahu’s cry was fierce, his hand clenched over a map of Jerusalem. “Israel defends its right to exist against threats from Iran and Hamas. Our security is non-negotiable—our history, our survival, demand it. Hamas kidnapped over 250 of our people, and with dozens still held hostage, including some confirmed dead, we must strike to protect our citizens. Self-defense justifies our actions, as international law allows response to armed attacks!” The diaspora elder nodded, his voice thick with memory. “We fled hate, built anew in America, yet the shadow of annihilation follows—security is our legacy, and the hostages’ plight fuels our resolve.” Mahmoud Abbas’s sob cut through, his hands trembling. “My people suffer under occupation—our land, our homes, stolen. Justice demands a state, a return for refugees displaced by your walls! Your strikes, killing tens of thousands, echo genocide—self-defense cannot justify such loss!” The Gaza refugee echoed, “My children die under bombs—where is your mercy?” The West Bank leader added, “Our groves feed us, yet they’re torn—share this land, or we perish.”
Ebrahim Raisi spoke, his tone guarded. “Iran protects its faith and people—our support for allies, including Hamas, defends against Western aggression. The hostages are leverage for justice.” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei added, “Our theocracy guides us—Buenos Aires was a response to Zionist and American plots, a necessary shield, and our stance aligns with self-defense.” Vladimir Putin’s voice was ice. “Russia seeks stability, supporting Iran to counter Western dominance—our alliances ensure balance and protect against chaos.” Donald Trump leaned in, his words measured. “I push for peace deals—Abraham Accords, two states—but security for Israel comes first. The hostages’ release is key, and my mediation brought progress—self-defense is valid, but genocide claims are overblown.” Javier Gerardo Milei’s voice broke. “Argentina bleeds from Iran’s past strikes on Buenos Aires—our Jewish community was targeted, trust must be rebuilt through accountability, not endless war.”
Moses raised his staff, its wood humming with ancient power. “The Torah teaches, ‘You shall not oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in Egypt’ (Exodus 22:21), Netanyahu. Your self-defense against Hamas’s kidnappings is just, but your walls oppress—balance defense with justice, as we sought in our exodus. The hostages’ plight cries out, yet genocide looms if innocents perish (Deuteronomy 20:19).” Netanyahu countered, “Hamas’s tunnels and hostages leave no choice—self-defense is our right!” Moses replied, “Then pursue ‘justice, justice’ (Deuteronomy 16:20)—defend without crushing the stranger.” Jesus’ gaze softened. “The Bible says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’ (Matthew 5:9), Abbas. Love your enemy—violence breeds sorrow. Trump, your deals favor one side—true peace needs equity, and the hostages demand mercy, not genocide.” Abbas retorted, “Love cannot feed my people under occupation—your strikes kill indiscriminately!” Jesus nodded, “Then build with ‘turn the other cheek’ (Matthew 5:39)—peace, not submission, honors the hostages.” Mohammed’s call rang clear. “The Quran declares, ‘O mankind, We created you to know one another’ (49:13), Raisi and Khamenei. Unity, not division, honors faith—Buenos Aires was vengeance, not self-defense, and the hostages suffer from your leverage.” Raisi argued, “It was defense against plots—hostages ensure our survival!” Mohammed countered, “Repel evil with good (41:34)—heal, don’t harm, for the Quran bids justice (4:135).”
The Multidimensional Web Unfurls
Dr Jorge swept his hand over the hologram, and the air shimmered as dimensions unfurled, a kaleidoscope of light and shadow. “In Cosmopolitanism,” he began, his voice a spell, “I saw a world where every claim, every heart, dances in dimensions—linear order, nonlinear chaos, shaped by lives and lands.” The map flared, revealing the Middle East’s web—Israel’s hills, Palestine’s camps, Iran’s towers, and the distant echo of Buenos Aires’ ruins. “This is our magic,” he said, “a fix to heal with shared dreams, born from dialogue, addressing hostages, genocide, and self-defense.” Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed leaned closer, their presence a trinity of hope, ready to engage the leaders’ arguments.
The linear dimensions formed a structured ballet. The vertical dimension painted a hierarchy—Israel’s defense forces guarded from above, Palestine’s farmers toiled below, with international mediators like the U.S. and Russia as judges. Netanyahu justified, “We protect from Iran’s proxies and Hamas’s kidnappings—self-defense is our shield, with hostages at stake.” Abbas countered, “Our farmers are choked—justice demands freedom, and your actions risk genocide.” Raisi added, “Iran’s hierarchy defends faith against plots.” Khamenei nodded, “Our theocracy guides, using hostages as leverage.” The horizontal dimension wove equality, with Israeli and Palestinian communities sharing water quotas, mirroring diaspora efforts in Argentina. Trump boasted, “My deals prove two states can share—hostages need resolution.” Milei agreed, “Argentina seeks equal healing post-Buenos Aires.” The diagonal dimension flowed—Iran’s oil trade fueled ties, Russia’s diplomacy bridged East and West, and the U.S. cast a shadow. Putin stated, “Stability requires our balance.” Moses responded, “Torah calls for covenant renewal (Deuteronomy 30:6)—heal these cycles with justice for hostages.” Jesus added, “Bible urges new hearts (Ezekiel 36:26)—break the hierarchy with love, avoiding genocide.” Mohammed said, “Quran bids reflection (3:190)—diagonal ties can birth equity.”
The nonlinear dimensions added a wild pulse. The self-referred dimension saw Israel’s pride echo Iran’s defiance—Netanyahu citing survival and hostages, Raisi and Khamenei citing faith. The regressive dimension dragged Buenos Aires’ scars, Milei lamenting, “Our pain demands accountability—genocide fears linger.” The chaotic dimension flared with clashes, Abbas noting refugee despair and hostage agony. The random dimension sparked hope—a chance alliance. Moses argued, “Torah warns against endless cycles (Leviticus 26:40)—break this, Netanyahu, for the hostages.” Netanyahu retorted, “Survival trumps cycles—self-defense is law!” Moses insisted, “Then seek ‘love the stranger’ (19:34) to free them.” Jesus challenged, “Bible calls for peace (John 14:27)—Trump, your bias fuels chaos and genocide claims.” Trump defended, “Deals work—look at the Accords!” Jesus replied, “True peace lifts all (Matthew 25:40), including hostages.” Mohammed countered Raisi, “Quran urges cooperation (5:2)—random acts can heal, not justify hostage leverage.” Raisi argued, “Defense is duty—hostages ensure it!” Mohammed pressed, “Then reflect (3:190) for justice, not vengeance.”

The Clash of Titans
The tent trembled as voices clashed, a storm breaking over the sands. Netanyahu’s fist struck the map. “Iran funds Hamas—our strikes defend our existence, and the hostages’ fate demands action! Self-defense is our right!” Abbas cried, “My people die under bombs—where is your mercy? Your actions are genocide!” Raisi stood firm. “Our actions, even in Buenos Aires, shield our creed—hostages are leverage, and self-defense justifies it.” Khamenei added, “The West’s plots demand our stance.” Putin’s cold retort cut through. “Power dictates peace—align, or we withdraw, balancing hostage issues.” Trump hesitated. “I back Israel, but peace needs deals—two states if secure, and hostages released. Genocide claims are exaggerated.” Milei broke. “Our community’s blood cries from Buenos Aires—how do we trust amid hostage crises?” The diaspora elder added, “Our safety demands action for hostages.” The refugee sobbed, “Our homes are gone—genocide looms.” The West Bank leader pleaded, “Share, or we perish.”
Moses’ staff glowed. “Torah warns, ‘Justice, justice you shall pursue’ (Deuteronomy 16:20)—defend, Netanyahu, but not at others’ ruin or the hostages’ expense. Self-defense must not slide into genocide (Deuteronomy 20:19).” Netanyahu countered, “Hamas’s kidnappings leave no choice—hostages compel us!” Moses replied, “Then pursue peace with justice (Psalm 34:14) to free them.” Jesus whispered, “Bible teaches, ‘Turn the other cheek’ (Matthew 5:39)—peace over vengeance, Abbas, and Trump, your bias risks genocide.” Abbas retorted, “Occupation kills love—hostages suffer too!” Jesus nodded, “Then build with redemption (Isaiah 1:27) for all.” Mohammed called, “Quran says, ‘Repel evil with good’ (41:34)—unity heals, Raisi, not hostage leverage or genocide.” Raisi argued, “Defense is faith—Buenos Aires was response!” Mohammed pressed, “Then seek ‘cooperation in righteousness’ (5:2) to end this.” Dr. Jorge raised his hands. “War empties the sands. A council with veto power, guided by dialogue, can mend this—hostages, genocide, and self-defense demand it. Will you bend?” The tent held its breath, the clash teetering on resolution.
The Multidimensional Fix Takes Root
The hologram pulsed, a living web binding the desert’s heart. Dr. Jorge’s voice wove through the tension. “In Sovereignty Conflicts, I saw shared rule as a quantum thread. Let’s craft a fix: a Desert Passport to unite populations, an EEZ zoned with a 40-30-20-10% resource split for territory, and a council with neutral oversight for governance—born from our debate, addressing hostages, genocide, and self-defense.” The light flared, a path emerging organically, its roots in physical sands, social ties, and mental faith. Netanyahu relented, “If security holds and Hamas releases hostages, we join—self-defense requires it.” Abbas brightened, “A home, a harvest—yes, if walls fall and genocide ends.” Raisi softened, “Trade safe, resources shared—we bend if plots cease and hostages are freed.” Khamenei nodded, “Faith guides—balance is key.” Putin inclined, “Stability serves—done if aligned and hostages resolved.” Trump grinned, “Two states, balanced—my deal works, freeing hostages.” Milei steadied, “Justice for Buenos Aires, trust rebuilt—let’s try with hostage release.”
Moses nodded. “Torah bids, ‘Love the stranger’ (Leviticus 19:34)—this covenant honors all, Netanyahu, freeing hostages.” Netanyahu mused, “If Hamas disarms, we’ll consider—self-defense allows it.” Moses pressed, “Then renew the covenant (Deuteronomy 30:6) for peace.” Jesus smiled. “Bible promises, ‘Peace I leave with you’ (John 14:27)—a shared table, Abbas, ending genocide fears.” Abbas agreed, “If justice flows.” Jesus added, “Redemption awaits (Luke 4:18).” Mohammed agreed. “Quran teaches, ‘Cooperate in righteousness’ (5:2)—justice for all, Raisi, releasing hostages.” Raisi countered, “Defense remains—hostages ensure it!” Mohammed replied, “Then reflect (3:190) for peace, not leverage.” The council—Netanyahu, Abbas, Raisi, Khamenei, Putin, Trump, Milei, diaspora, refugees—set a pilot ablaze in a shared zone. Hostages were negotiated for release, resources flowed, genocide fears eased, and a dawn rose over the dunes.
From Fairy Tale to Your Table
