What is the outcome of the Israeli invasion of Gaza and Lebanon and the relentless attack on Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen? Will the apartheid state decimate Gaza and the West Bank, extend its borders to Iraq, eradicate Iran, and assume the mantle of the regional superpower?
A substantial number of Jews believe that the days of the glory of Israel are approaching fast. Christian evangelists waiting for the second coming of Jesus want the creation of a more excellent Israel sooner to ensure the destruction of Jews. Muslims, too, are keen to see the return of Jesus, who, in cooperation with Mehdi, would kill Jews to establish peace on earth.
The world’s three monotheistic religions depend on a concocted theology to assert their supremacy. In contrast, half of the remaining world rejects the idea of the battle of Armageddon in the Holy Land to witness the last act of divinely sponsored bloodshed.
How many people may die during the final battle between good and evil? No one is sure. But what the world knows today is that an aggressive invader using the name of G-d is on a spree of killing people the Old Testament calls the Gentiles with the help of Jews, Christians, and liberals.
America has the most sophisticated weapons to destroy humans, and Israeli Jews are willing partners in using this lethal arsenal to fulfill their dream of building the Third Temple. American power elites have spent trillions of dollars in fighting wars to subdue nations and countries politically, culturally, and financially. Israeli Jews are accomplices in this brutality.
Israel occupied the Holy Land in 1948 against the will of the people living there. The United States, along with European Christians, was the principal architect of this new evil state. Together, they violated every UN resolution and universal human value to deprive the natives of their dignity.
The US could have stood for truth and justice by recognizing a Palestinian state. It could have denied Israel the lethal weapons to kill innocent people. Yet, it preferred to nurture the evil state. During the last year, we have witnessed an outcome of unjust and inhumane policies imposed upon the region.
The apartheid state believed that it would decimate the region into oblivion. Neither Palestinians nor Iranians would give up their quest for truth and justice. Unless the people of Palestine emerge as a sovereign, independent nation with full dignity, voices against injustice will continue to reverberate. Bloodshed is not the solution. It is the weapon of cowards and hate mongers. Israel and the US power elites have demonstrated through their policies that they neither care for human life nor human dignity. The world will know the previous years as one of the darkest years in the history of the world, when the civilized world lost its sanity and allowed thousands to be butchered by criminals.
