Prison Ship, Gaza 2023: Flipping Reality in the Wake of Zionism Gone Really Bad!
It should baffle the mind as what is going on in Israel and Palestine, especially in terms of media coverage, and how politicians of all hues are applying two standards to human rights and the much overused concept of international law. The not so hidden Israeli End Game is more than just cold blood murder, shoot to kill is carte blanch for Israel to eliminate once and for all any hope of a two-state solution. The Hamas enemy can be applied to anything that moves, or in proximity—collateral damage…
The Gaza massacre and Muslim opinion at the Saudi Summit
A robust conclusion emerged from the unprecedented Arab-Islamic summit held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, but no real steps were taken to counter Israel and its Western backers, particularly the US. Leaders of the Muslim world eventually convened in Riyadh for a conference on the Palestinian issue, following over a month and a half of ceaseless bombing that claimed thousands of civilian lives. Top leaders from major Muslim nations, including Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saudi…
USA’s Latest Veto-Hypocrisy or Balancing Act?
The U.N. Security Council has passed its initial resolution since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict, urging immediate and prolonged humanitarian breaks in Gaza to address the worsening crisis for Palestinian civilians amid Israel’s air and ground assaults. Israel promptly rejected the resolution. The vote in the 15-member council resulted in a 12-0 outcome, with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia opting to abstain. The U.S. and U.K. refrained due to the resolution’s omission of condemnation of Hamas’ unexpected cross-border attacks into Israel on Oct. 7…
Tracing Israel’s ‘Mowing’ Crimes to Borell’s Garden Techniques
The US and Europe purport to start a political peace process for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, only to prevent other actors from seeking sustainable peace. The reality that The West is behind Israel’s ‘mowing’ Palestinians’ is accentuated in Josep Borell’s speech at the Opening of EU’s Ambassador’s Conference 2023. Evidence of these parties starting a process only to preclude others can be seen in the Oslo Accords that began in 1978 at Camp David in a period when the US was trying to act like a responsible player compared to the USSR, but to advance its interest. The Camp David Accords led to the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 1995, which were supposed to culminate in the peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians. However, careful review shows that The West gave Israel what it wanted, a legal recognition by Palestinians…
World Outcry for Israel to STOP the Carnage Has Zero Effect
The sides are being drafted for what could be humankind’s last great competition. In my talks with contacts and friends from the four corners of our world, a central theme echo. A common fear is surfacing. Are we about to end civilization again? And the focus of all this apprehension is not Ukraine. It’s Israel. The mainstream media across the Western world is leaving out critical truths about Israel’s war of extermination on the Palestinians…
"Unrequited Love”— Chinese feelings for the “Jewish People Spat on by Netanyahu"
Apparently, the Israelis have been mouthing off about purported Chinese “anti-Semitism” ever since the PRC called for an immediate ceasefire and purposeful negotiations. This should come as no surprise, as the Chinese are falling in line with Turkey, the Muslim world and much of the Global South. Collectively, they can see the contradictions in Israel’s vengeful policies and US double standards and duplicity…
The USA loses ground in the Arab East
The Arab press is rife with criticisms of American policy in the Middle East. Washington is in charge of overseeing the conflict even while Israel and Hamas are engaged in a ground battle, as the Al Ahram daily stated on November 7. The Biden administration’s current attempts are out of sync with the times and seriously jeopardize both President Biden’s political prospects and the USA’s status in the world. The Saudi press stressed that relations with Washington would reach a breaking point depending on how the Gaza war turned out. No Arab nation can jeopardize its support for the Palestinian cause..
The Global South vs. the West
After launching a large onslaught on Israel on October 7, the Palestinian organization Hamas killed over 1,400 people, the majority of whom were civilians, and captured over 200 more. Since then, ground forces have moved into the enclave and Israel has attacked several areas of Gaza ruthlessly. To date, almost 10,000 people have died, the majority of them were women and children. Protests demanding a stop to hostilities and showing solidarity with the Palestinians erupted globally. The Saudi Arab News daily stated that “Western and Arab states have found themselves divided.”…
Hamas Leaders Leave Turkey and Hand Over Hostages to Iran
The military conflict in the Middle East continues to keep the world diplomatic community on its toes. Israel is still planning a ground operation against Hamas militants and commanders in the Gaza Strip to clean up the territory once and for all. In planning this operation, Tel Aviv ignored numerous calls from various countries and international organizations urging it to refrain from any actions that could lead to a collective massacre of civilians living in this Arab enclave, numbering more than 2 million people. The temporary pause before X-Day is motivated by the need for more thorough preparation…
Iran refrains from direct military intervention in the Israel-Palestine conflict
The military battle between the Palestinian Hamas and Israel remains a prominent matter of international concern. Despite the chaotic process of building conditional blocs of pro- and anti-Israeli forces, the armed conflict is yet to result in lengthy political discussions with an undetermined end. The West, led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and leading EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, and others), has unambiguously sided with Israel in this conflict, accusing Hamas of terrorism. Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak visited Israel to pledge their political and military support for the Jewish…
Peace in the Middle East Will not be Made-in-US
Despite the fact that the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine is a direct outcome of Washington’s flawed policies, the Biden administration is doing everything it can to turn this conflict into a wider war in the region. Providing US$3.8 billion in military aid to Israel versus US$100 million only for Gaza clearly demonstrates Washington’s priorities. For this reason, Arab states, including the UAE, otherwise signatories of the now infamous Abraham Accords, are not only criticising Israel but also showing who they think is the best possible global power that must side with them vis-à-vis Israel and in support of Palestine…
Gaza's Plight & Global Apathy
The Hypocrisy of States Advocating for Religion, Human Rights
The situation in Gaza has starkly revealed the insensitivity and hypocrisy of not only the Western world but also the Muslim community. Across the globe, many Muslim countries in the 21st century have experienced chaos and destruction. Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, and others have endured prolonged suffering and devastation. However, the situation in Palestine is uniquely sensitive, with far-reaching consequences for the global order, as emphasized by numerous human rights organizations and activists. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur…
