How the Israeli War on Gaza Makes America Morally-Politically Bankrupt?
27/03/2024
America and Israel are at Odds – how to End the Gaza War?
Wars
are paradoxes of conflicting political and individualistic interests – gains in
the present and loss in the future. At times America supports Israel as if a
child of a surrogate mother but knows little of what puzzles are in play
by PM Netanyahu’s naive egoism. Understanding the imperatives of power and
influence, President Biden is unable to maneuver Netanyahu to peace and
co-existence with Arabs and Palestine. The Two States solution remains a fake
illusion.American history narrates viable concepts of morality, good and wrong
and voices of reason but not implied to Gaza. Wars and continued conflicts are
lifelines for the Israeli leadership. The UNSC Resolution(3/24/24)calls for an
“immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and unrestricted supplies of humanitarian aid
but world’s most hated and feared are at crossroads of lost fame and political
power.The supplies of weapons of mass destruction to Israel without any check
and balances create a new unilateral dynamic of complicit aggression and
violations of all the international civilized accords on war and peace.
Where
are the so-called International Humanitarian Law and the protocols of the
Geneva Conventions offering protection to civilians in war against forced
displacement, functional hospitals and medical professionals, and supplies of
unrestrained foods and other necessities for human survival? There is no
conversation to end the war. Unlikely as it seems any US intervention to stop
Israel carnage to Rafah as President Biden would need AIPAC money and support
to win the elections. Both Biden and Secretary Blinken playing with time to
allow PM Netanyahu’s political failure to achieve military objectives in
Gaza. None is committed to peace with Palestinians. An Israeli Professor
and Rabbi of Philosophy and Religions narrates his story to this author, why he
left Israel seeking a new life in Canada. There was no peace and normalcy in
life.… Jews are divided, atheist, secular, Zionists and lost precepts of
the faith of Moses – the Divine Judaism. Israeli leaders are misleading people
for their own political power,not for the good of Israeli masses or for peace
or a sustainable future. Israel, to the Rabbi, could be at an edge of unknown
disasters of survival in the Middle East unless it rethinks and reshapes its
policies and practices to co-exist with the people of Palestine.
The
Arab-Muslim leaders live in dark ages, just puppets of the US – a scum floating
on a torrent. The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman called Jared Kushner a
friend to do business and normalize relations with Israel but Kushner advocates
“ethnic cleansing” of the people of Gaza. “Trump Son-in-Law
Jared Kushner Calls for Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza to ‘Finish the Job” (Common
Dreams – TRANSCEND Media Service : 3/25/24), https://www.transcend.org/tms/2024/03/trump-son-in-law-jared-kushner-calls-for-ethnic-cleansing-of-gaza-to-finish-the-job/ explains
Jake Jonson: Kushner, who served as a key Middle East adviser to Trump, said
that Gaza’s “waterfront property could be very valuable” and urged Israel to
“clean it up.”…. that if he were in charge of Israeli policy, he would
push Gaza civilians into Egypt or Israel’s Negev
desert—a proposal that critics denounced as ethnic cleansing
Israel Pursues Political Objectives by Military Assaults
Although
today’s UN-SC Resolution agrees to an “immediate ceasefire”, Israeli leaders
have a different agenda. The perpetuated insanity ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day
170: Israeli assaults against al-Shifa, Nasser, and al-Amal Hospitals and kills
170 people and arrests 800 innocent civilians. How else do you see cruelty and
insane political actions emerging across Gaza? Suspicious and
embittered PM Netanyahu unleashing violent assumptions of hatred,
animosities for his own political survival, while Israeli protesters
in Tel Aviv demand his resignation and change. Are the Israeli leaders purging
America and its history of national freedom and democratic values? The ICJ
had ordered Israel to report back on the alleged “Genocide” judgment but
insulting common sense the US denied its premise.
Brett Wilkins (“Draft UN Report Finds Israel Has
Met Threshold for Genocide.” Common Dreams:3/25/24),https://www.commondreams.org/news/gaza-genocide-2667597341? states
that: “Israel’s genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza is an escalatory stage
of a long-standing settler-colonial process of erasure.” The
UNHRC report found “reasonable grounds to believe” that Israel is
committing genocide in Gaza, a move that came on the same day as the
U.N. Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate
cease-fire in the ongoing war. The Anatomy of a Genocide—concludes that Israel’s
far-right government and military “have intentionally distorted jus in bello principles, subverting their
protective functions, in an attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against
the Palestinian people.”
America
and Israel are fearful of the phenomenon of change as it could make them
obsolete and misfit for the future even with all the imaginary power and
monetary influence.They are bewildered with no sense of time, strengths and
weaknesses – how to collaborate for an uncertain future. Do civilizations grow
out of moral mire, tyranny and military conquests? America according to its
thinking hubs lost more than it gained by supporting Israel unequivocally.Sigmund
Freud(Civilization and its Discontent, 1930), noted that:“the
inclination to aggression is an original self-subsisting instinctual
disposition in man, and that it constitutes the greatest impediment to
civilization.” Consequent to the Israeli bloodbath of civilians
in Gaza, all futuristic imagination of peace with Arabs is gone. Was the
discovery of “oil” an obsession – a stigma, a conspiracy (“fitna”) to
forfeit the Arab culture and Islamic civilization? Please see “How Arab
Leaders Betray Islam and Defy the Logic of Political Change, Peace and
Security.”
Every
beginning has its end but nothing in sight how America wants to end the
war and how Israel prefers its own agenda to surprise the American political
intellect. Despite the UN reports of famine and starvation of people of
Gaza, shocking as is to discover, there is UNO workable mechanism, no Arab
-Muslim leaders and no armies to protect the people of Gaza and the West
Bank. Jerome Irwin (“America Is Israel, Israel Is
America, and the Military-Industrial Corporate Fascism Is What It Is”:
Global Research: 3/01/24), author of The Wild Gentle Ones; A Turtle Island
Odyssey, a criminology professional and a Canadian-American former
CIA agent explains: https://www.globalresearch.ca/america-israel-israel-america-military-industrial-corporate-fascism/5851096 What
is happening today to the Palestinians in their former homelands of Palestine
can be likened to what happened to indigenous Indians, Black slaves and
Mexican peasants in the 18th & 19th century
history books of America and Canada’s Wild West or Southern ante-bellum states.
……Yet now in 2024, thanks to America’s latest shipment of 2,000-pound bombs
to Israel’s settler-colonial racist apartheid state, its Zionists are able to
even more effectively kill or wipe out whole families, villages, refugee camps
and settlements of Palestinians; ruthlessly pushing aside, or totally
removing, whatever still recalcitrant defenders still remain in their former
territories.
The Earth is a Divine Hub of Human Life, Survival and a
Trust, Those Bombing and Destroying it are Sadistic People
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, about the average distance of earth from
the moon is 93 million miles -the distance of the Moon from 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. Wherever there is a trust, there is accountability.The
Divine warning (Chapter 7: 56: 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), 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.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.”According to Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague: ‘Jewish law
forbids the killing of innocent people, even in the course of a legitimate
military engagement.
The
War on Gaza is a stigma of political survival for PM Netanyahu as the Ultra
Nationalist groups aligned with him continuously violate the sanctity
of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Arab-Muslim leaders are simply the spectators
watching the provocations. Please see:
“Al-Aqsa
Mosque Waiting for the Arab Leaders.”

Intelligent
leaders always heed to voices of reason and rational advice
but American and Israeli warmongering and crimes against humanity are
contrary to the Nature of Things. Our failure to grasp the compelling realities
of Israeli atrocities against the helpless 2.9 million civilians of Gaza
makes us feel to be standing at some of the darkest timeline of history.More
than 31,000 deaths, 71,000 injured, 14,000 children killed and
destruction of infrastructures could have been avoided if reason and
honest policies were implied to the crisis. The time and opportunities call for
urgent rethinking and reshaping of new visions and creative
ideas to reject violence, genocide and vengeance as contrary to the
nature of humanity, peace and intellect. We, the People of Global Conscience
and thinkers share seamless common bonds of truth, universal morality and being
One Humanity and must reject tyranny of war and genocide as a
means to solve political problems and stand united to
facilitate dialogue and globalization of one people for conflict
resolution and peace-making.
