AUTHORITARIAN leaders propel insanity and dystopian supremacy using democracy to shield their crimes against humanity. A hybrid culture, part human and part vulture. The Arab-Muslim World lives in fantasy as puppets and paper boys claiming to be negotiating peace but cannot mold nor mourn as Israel occupies more lands and disables neighbouring Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and plans to overrun Saudi Arabia for a Greater Israel.
What is at stake? The global humanity is being marginalised and threatened by just two figures lacking effective leadership and accountability for the consequences of their sadistic thinking. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would deny the emerging plan for “Greater Israel” but coordinate and solidify its top priority for the conquest of the whole Arab Middle East.
The Arab-Muslim leaders do not exist on a rational plateau of thoughts and actions. The on-going genocide against the people of Gaza for 23 months: Continuous aerial bombardments, killing of people by planned starvation, attacks on places of worship, hospitals, journalists, UNRWA schools and so-called safe zones, data tells more than 62,000 lives are gone and more than 100K are injured and disabled and some 12k people or so still buried under the rubble. How would you imagine a world of peace and harmony on this earth? Netanyahu claims “starvation is not the policy of Israel and famine in Gaza is not true.” The UN Secretary General condemns it: “Israel is using starvation as a weapon to punish the people of Gaza.” The civic societies in Israel demonstrate daily against Netanyahu’s policies and practices and ask for an end to the war on Gaza and release of hostages.
Symbolic lip service ushers from the United Kingdom and France to recognise a Palestine State while Israel is continuously armed to more land grabs, forced displacement of Palestinians and illegal settlements across the West Bank. Israel under Netanyahu and extremists face no hurdle to evolve “Greater Israel”, no law and no civilised challenge to stop the march for putting finished answers to Palestine. The West European and the US leaders used to propel an imaginary utopian world of human rights, peace without war and to foresee the “succeeding generations free of the scourge of war” as a legal and political responsibility. Not so, they have all failed miserably to protect the entrenched mankind. The imagination of a promising glorious future simply turned by the few against many as an inferno of horrors, killings and utter devastation throughout Palestine.
How Arab and Western Leaders
Betrayed the People of Palestine?
Most treacherous and irresponsible are the Arab-Muslim leaders — former tribal agents now kings, princes and presidents — have allowed the Israeli-American sponsored war machines and atrocities to displace the people of Gaza and unfold a working plan of “Greater Israel.” The oil enriched Arab leaders lost the Islamic history of moral obligations, compassion and intellect and wanted to buy wisdom with wealth. The Western nations fed the Arabian societies with contaminated foods for a long time to change their thinking and behaviours and make them robotic machines to enjoy sports, pleasures and palaces. The Arab masses live in discontent and despair not knowing the reality of upcoming future – crimes and genocide by Israel enlarged to cover the Arabian Peninsula.
Despite the so-called International Law, the UN Security Council and vigilant global humanity wanting an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, crimes against humanity and forcible displacement of 2.5 million civilians are daily events.
Gaza and West Bank are obliterated by Israeli war of over 23 months of continued bombardments of civilian infrastructures. If the leading Arab leaders had capacity and moral-intellectual foresight, they should have challenged the insanity of war and protected the innocent masses of Gaza. The American-Israeli collaborative war on Gaza and its immediate consequences made the Western World shamefully redundant and void in the 21st century global norms of civility, human rights, freedom, justice and safety of civilians-
Life is a Test of Good and Evil and Accountability
God created you as human beings – the most intelligent creation on this planet with moral and intellectual capacity, obligations and accountability. Earth is a “trust” to mankind for its existence, sustenance of life, survival, progress and future-making. Wherever there is trust, there is accountability. Those bombing the earth and killing innocent people are not normal people but a curse to mankind. The Divine warning (The Quran: 7:56), warns: Do no mischief on the Earth after it hath been set in order, but call on God with fear and longing in hearts; For the Mercy of God is always near to those who do good. (44:38-39), the reminder is explicit: We created not the Heavens and the Earth; And all between them merely in idle sport. We created them not, Except for just ends. But most of them do not understand.
You cannot pretend to think and behave like animals. Animals live and do not reflect on the imperatives of life whereas, we, the human beings cannot act like animals as we are supposed to be intelligent and responsible species on this Earth. At the edge of reason, the notion of evil leads to realisation of evil and tyranny of genocide must be stopped by all means to restore the manifestation of equal rights, peace, justice and security for all. Intelligent people, leaders and nations always readily accept advice: The followers of Moses – the generations of Israelite are reminded by God (The Quran 2: 84-85): And remember, We took a Covenant from the Children of Israel (progeny of Jacob), Worship none but God; ….shed no blood amongst you, nor displace people from homes: and Ye solemnly ratified, and to this ye can bear witness…. It was not lawful for you to banish another party, then it is only a part of the Book that ye believe in…. And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty, For God is not unmindful what ye do.
