Monsters of History Defy Truth, Justice and Humanitarian Values
THE fraudulent Israeli-American scenario of a ceasefire ended in Cairo without any agreeable outcome. There was nothing new but to kill time and opportunities for the return of normalcy and humanitarian necessities to have allowed the people of Gaza to breathe oxygen while the bombing and killing of civilians continued unabated.
Many of the Arab leaders, it seems, never could think outside the decadent box and question the US about this stigma of war and its ultimate purpose to dominate the Arab World. The US and Israel are moving around all quagmires and forging them to ensure the continued killing of the people of Gaza under the false pretext of terrorism and allowing new settlements to strengthen Israeli command over the West Bank and to put a finished answer to Palestine’s freedom movement.
All monsters of history claimed good intentions and righteous ambitions but inflicted horrors, deaths and destruction on fellow human beings to achieve individualistic ambitions of power and glory. The US Congress bestowed undue political honour to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is alleged by the ICC -ICJ to have committed crimes against humanity and genocide across Gaza. Does the US Congress have a manifesto of human moral and political values?
Philip Giraldi (“War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu Addresses the US Congress” Global Research: 7/26/24), Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest explains: “Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation in the House Chamber today was by far the worst presentation of any foreign dignitary invited and honored with the privilege of addressing the Congress of the United States…….Netanyahu claims ‘Hamas raped women and burnt babies alive’ but Dr Giraldi views it a false propaganda stunt to win the US support for a continued war against Palestinian people and clarifies:
The reality is, of course, it is the Jews who are killing Palestinians in large numbers using American-supplied weapons. The highly respectable British medical journal The Lancet estimates that Israel has already killed more than 186,000 Palestinians since last October most of whom are still buried under the rubble of their homes, but for Netanyahu only Jewish lives matter. And the unrelenting savagery of the Israeli soldiers has also been confirmed by multiple independent sources. Bibi would also do well to read the new Knesset law passed last week that completely rejects the idea of a unilaterally declared sovereign Palestinian state side-by-side with Israel, confirming that Israel’s intentions do not include living at peace with its neighbors.
Gaza and the West Bank are obliterated by Israeli insanity over ten months of continued war and bombardments of civilian infrastructures.
The American-Israeli collaborative war on Gaza and its immediate consequences have made the Western world and all of its institutions shamefully redundant and void in the 21st century global norms of civility, human rights, freedom, justice and safety of civilians – whereas crimes against humanity are captured in obscure impulses and indecision and deliberate inaction by the UN Security Council.
Those Bombing the Earth are the Enemies of Humanity and Peace
So far Israel has dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza — more insane than what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Perhaps, the Israeli and American leaders do not believe in life and death and accountability to God for all of their actions. The Torah and the Bible fully reflect on this core human responsibility and punishment to those who violate the Divine Covenants.
The earth is not a property of the US or Israel but a divine hub of human life, survival and a trust; those bombing and destroying it are mentally sick and defy the divine truth. It looks as if the US and Israeli leaders do not believe in life and death and accountability. The earth is living and spins at 1670 km per hour and orbits the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. Imagine, if this spinning fails, what consequences could occur to the living beings on Earth? Think again, the average distance of the earth from the moon is 93 million miles — the distance of the moon from the earth is currently 384,821 km equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units. Earth is a “trust” to mankind for its existence, sustenance of life, survival, progress and future-making.
The earth exists and floats without any pillars in a capsule by the Will of God, so, “Fear God Who created life and death.” Is human intelligence still intact to understand this reality? Wherever there is trust, there is accountability. All human beings are accountable for their actions. The divine warning (Chapter 7: 56: The Quran), warns: Do no spread 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 Divine Message (Quran:40:64), clarifies: It is God Who made for you the Earth as a resting place and the sky as a canopy; And has given you shape and made your shapes beautiful, And has provided for your Sustenance, of things pure and good; Such is God your Lord. So Glory to God, The Lord of the Worlds.
And killing of innocent people is prohibited in the Ten Commandments (Torah): ‘Thou shalt not kill’ (Exod. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17). Jewish law views the shedding of innocent blood very seriously, and lists murder as one of three sins (along with idolatry and sexual immorality), that fall under the category of yehareg ve’al ya’avor — meaning “One should let himself be killed rather than violate it.
“Phase One of Israel’s genocidal campaign on Gaza has ended. Phase Two has begun. It will result in even higher levels of death and destruction” reports Chris Hedges.

This is not a war against Hamas. It is a war against Palestinians.
Israeli strikes are generated at a dizzying rate, many of them from a system called “Habsora” — The Gospel — which is built on artificial intelligence that selects 100 targets a day. The AI system is described by seven current and former Israeli intelligence officials in an article by Yuval Abraham on the Israeli sites +972 Magazine and Local Call, as facilitating a “mass assassination factory.” Israel, once it locates what it assumes to be a Hamas operative from a cell phone, for example, bombs and shells a wide area around the target, killing and wounding tens, and at times hundreds of Palestinians, the article states.
