President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sound like mindless anarchists to ignore the voices of reason to fracture the souls of innocent people already subjected to genocide and crimes against humanity.
Dr Mahboob A. Khawaja
WE, the People of human conscience, appear incapable or unprepared not to imagine peace and global order as the cornerstone of logic and perceived wisdom to resolve the emerging crises in Gaza-Palestine and Ukraine.
The hell of powerful intransigence and planned violations of civilised behaviour comes from few leaders maintaining global nerves of pride and power as if the rest of mankind happens to be mere digits and numbers. They claim and preach political anarchy of barbarism and violence against the helpless and most vulnerable people to disorder and insecurity across Gaza and Ukraine. They were not elected to raise hell to others but threaten mankind all the time as if it is the only virtue they have.
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sound like mindless anarchists to ignore the voices of reason to fracture the souls of innocent people already subjected to genocide and crimes against humanity. Is it the new world order to dehumanise the citizens of the globe for a charcoal world of tomorrow? Is it not the evil-mongering and futility of our time and the 21st century of knowledge and harmony to threaten with bombing and massacres if their lies are not followed for a new unilateral world order? Do the masses in the US and Israel know their leaders could lead them to the hell of human pains and horrors if not forced to make a navigational change? They prey on people who elected them whereas the people seem to pray for them to end their felicity of endeavours.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts in Empires of Lies tells the reality: If such a determination is not embodied in our political vision, we have no hope of restoring what is so nearly lost to us – the dignity of man.” Harold Pinter, Nobel Lecture, 2005 Repeat: “…unflinching, unswerving, fierce intellectual determination.” Indeed, that is Roberts in a nutshell.
Formative history warns of distress calls made by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, George W. Bush, Tony Blair and so many others for peace, not war, but they did just the opposite of human expectations and obsessed claims. We, the People know in every age, powerful elite prey with cruelty and tyranny upon fellow human beings – you just need to see the pictures of bombed human bodies, wounded civilians and tormented women and children on screen in Gaza and Ukraine. The voices of truth and universal consent ask for reason and honesty to be the values of our endeavours for resolving the conflicts and ushering in a stable system of peace-making and a new global order away from the superpowers’ accessibility.
Be it President Trump, President Vladimir Putin or Netanyahu: They do not sound like normal human beings when threatening to undermine the very existence of civilised humanity. They appear closer to their end rather than the beginning. Those having faith in military solutions, act like wild animals. Israeli masses are against Netanyahu’s policies and practices and want peace, a ceasefire and the return of hostages. According to the editor of Israel’s +972 Magazine, at least 50% of the IDF do not wish to return to fighting in Gaza. The Haaretz newspaper disclosed that half a million Israelis have left the country since October 2023.
Netanyahu and Trump rebuke reasoned covenants and dialogue for peace and are fast becoming a role model of incessant tyranny and professed violence against innocent people populating the earth. They allude to peaceful means to resolve the wars but act like egomaniac dictators above common sense and civilised codes of thought and behaviour. If you want to nuke Iran and forcibly displace 2.5 million people of Gaza for ethnic cleansing, would you be able to breathe oxygen as normal beings without any reaction and challenge from the global community? They make agreements and then discard their implementation.
Is it not the time and necessity for Arab-Muslim leaders and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to learn something useful from their own enemies to change the course of future-making? If so, it is an urge of necessity for the Arab-Muslim masses and people of Ukraine to understand the encompassing reality of emerging trends of catastrophic ends for all. Let us call a gathering of global leaders, invite Trump and Netanyahu and open it with first come first – Two States Palestine and Israel solution and peace in Ukraine, take it or leave it and then a peace treaty on nuclear deal and normalisation. One would need intellect and ingenuity of leadership to do so, Arab-Muslim leaders and Zelenskyy look more lost than being deliverers.
The Plan to Occupy Gaza
The Arab-Muslim leaders are nothing more than rubber stamps; they lack the mind, wisdom and courage to challenge Israel’s onslaught on the Palestinian masses. They have business and diplomatic ties and profess friendship with Netanyahu against Israeli animosities. The Arabs carry no value in the global context and appear morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt as scum floating on a torrent of naive puppets and discredited leaders.
The American-Israeli collaborative war on Gaza and its immediate consequences 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. If Israel is not stopped, soon the leading oil-exporting Arab states could fly Israeli-American flags for a change. Please see: “Israel Lost the War and America Betrayed Humanity in Gaza.”
The Earth is not a property of the US or Israel but a Divine hub of human life, survival and trust. Those bombing and destroying it are mentally sick and defy the Divine Truth. Propelled by irresistible and irrational statements by Trump, Israel under Netanyahu has so far dropped more than 90,000 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 their actions. The Torah and Bible fully reflect on this core human responsibility and punishment to those who violate the Divine Covenants: And killing of innocent people is prohibited in the Ten Commandments (Torah): “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17). 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 Quran 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).
In his March 22, 2025 report “The Last Chapter of the Genocide,” Chris Hedges narrates the prevalent facts.
This is the last chapter of the genocide. It is the final, blood-soaked push to drive the Palestinians from Gaza. No food. No medicine. No shelter. No clean water. No electricity. Israel is swiftly turning Gaza into a Dantesque cauldron of human misery where Palestinians are being killed in their hundreds and soon, again, in their thousands and tens of thousands, or they will be forced out never to return. The Trump White House cheers on the slaughter along with Democratic Party leaders such as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. They attack critics of the genocide as “antisemites” who should be silenced, criminalised or deported while funneling billions of dollars in weapons to Israel. Israel has begun the final stage of its genocide. The Palestinians will be forced to choose between death or deportation. There are no other options. Israel’s message is unequivocal: Gaza will be uninhabitable. Leave or die.
Since Israel broke the ceasefire last week with heavy bombing, over 700 Palestinians have been killed, including 200 children. In one 24-hour period, 400 Palestinians were killed. This is only the start. No Western power, including the United States, which provides the weapons for the genocide, intends to stop it. The images from Gaza during the nearly 16 months of incessant attacks were awful. But what is coming now will be worse. It will rival the most atrocious war crimes of the 20th century, including the mass starvation, wholesale slaughter and levelling of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 by the Nazis.
