An essay decolonizing the word “peace”, its etymology and root ancestry as well as its abstract and concrete manipulations and implications of the word through language and liturgy, dichotomy and non duality. What is peace and why have we betrothed it to war? What does this have to do with the Nakba of Palestine in 1948 to the state of the world now? How has religious indoctrination, assimilation and genocide wounded our spirit, our understanding and our capacity for peace?
