“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
“You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late, before you are six, or seven, or eight, to hate all the people your relatives hate. You’ve got to be carefully taught.” Oscar Hammerstein II
Not the only place where there’s an ancient conflict. Actually the Israel/Palestine thing is relatively recent. It didn’t get going till after WWII. The Balkan thing, on the other hand…
Seems to me if this creator had never started giving new human souls this little “pep talk”, those conflicts never would have arisen in the first place.
Worth amplifying what @willie_mctell notes above. If this cartoon is about recent events in and around Israel, then the “thousands of years” part is anachronistic. Jews and Arabs lived together in relative peace until the early 1900s.

Aren’t jellyfish and oak trees destroyed by humans too? Is there another planet we can go to?

That’s a palm tree. Other than that, a correct analysis of humanity.

He was kidding about the ‘rational thought’ thing, right?

The capability of rational thought forever battling with the instincts of willfully-irrational emotion.
Hmmm.
To live long and prosper, your only hope is to convert to Vulcanism.
… even then, there’s that whole Pon farr business to survive.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it….

Thanks to humans, the jellyfish might have it’s own problems. Filling up on microplastic junk food.
