Horrors and Pains Inflicted on the People of Gaza
We ,the People of
Conscience are living in a time when most moral and intellectual vigilance are
liable to ruthless purging of our being human, our very existence: ‘How to be
human in tyranny of US-Israel War Culture?’ There is no sustainable idealism in
human life except painted fantasy and much evil and much good in the world we
live-in. If we claim to be a ‘moral being’ then we must prove to be moral human
beings in all of our endeavors. The truth is we have serious problems defining
ourselves as moral beings when the on-going wars in Gaza and Ukraine and bombing
and killings of innocent people create data for daily abnormal doses of humanity
to be the new normal of socio-economic and political consumption. The
contradictions are covered up by massive adroit formulation of political,
economic and inhuman manipulations of a few elite classes governing the
global affairs. Often realist thinkers wondered if human beings were born
as blood thirsty creatures. Not so, Michael Wesch (TheArt of Being Human: A Textbook
for Cultural Anthropology, 2018), tries to define and quotes David Foster
Wallace:

RELIGIONSAND
WISDOM OF THE WORLD “In the day-to-day trenches of adult life,there is actually
no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing asnot worshipping. Everybody
worships. The only choice we get is whatto worship. And the compelling reason
for maybe choosing some sort ofgod or spiritual-type thing to worship – be it
JC or Allah, be itYHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess… – is that pretty much
anythingelse you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and
things…then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. …Worship
your body and beauty and sexual allure, and you will alwaysfeel ugly. … Worship
power, you will end up feeling weak andafraid. … Worship your intellect, being
seen as smart, you will endup feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of
being found out.
Docultures and
civilizations grow out of the moral mire ofbombardments,cruelty, killing,
conquest, occupation and destructionof humanity? If the US and Israel think to
be the most powerfulnations on earth, they are on a wrong path of thinking and
action tohave killed more than 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza and some 17,000women
and children still buried under rubble and a stinky unhealthyatmosphere
prevalent in the strip. History reveals in all ages,people and nations claiming
to be most powerful and transgressorsmanipulating the Earth and humanity were
destroyed by the Laws of God– natural causes. We are witnessing the biblical
warnings such asstorms, flooding, earthquakes and wildfires happening across
theglobe as the Bible warns its faithful. Manyempires and egoistic leaders
went this natural route of meeting theirends. Life is a trial, and bombing,
killing of fellow human beings isnot a justifiable act of reason and truth but
of stupidity, madnessand crimes against humanity. Has America and Israel reached
thatstage of thoughts and endeavors? Is it a gain in the present and aloss in
the future? Do they not believe in the holistic conception oflife as a sacred
trust full of ultimate accountability to God?
Behold,thy
Lord said to the angels: I will create a vicegerent on earth.They said” Wilt
Thou place therein one who will make mischief andshed blood; whilst we do
celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy HolyName. God said: I know what ye not
know. (TheQur’an: Chapter 2:30).
WarmongersWaiting for ‘the Judgment’
TheUS Biden
administration deceived and misled mankind while talking ofa ceasefire plan
since May 2024, and a ‘two state solution’ justto buy time to enable Israel put
finishing end to life in Gaza and tothe freedom of Palestine. Its Arab leader
stooges in the Arabian Gulfregion running around and pretending to be peace
mediators werenothing else except authoritarian complicit rulers and failure in
allwalks of life. We see the US and Israeli leaders having unbridledambitions
and power unleash violent assumptions of hatred, secretintrigues and
animosities and killings overwhelm the daily thinkingprocess, a society – a
nation no matter how normal claims to be,cannot function as normal beings to
co-exist within their own self,the surroundings – they mock the originality of
Palestinains andcall ‘death to Arabs.’ The Israeli leaders had plans long
beforeGaza onslaught to populate it with settlers and rob off its
naturalresources. Felicity Arbhutant (Video: “Wiping Gaza Off the Map”:BigMoney
Agenda. Confiscating Palestine’s Maritime Natural GasReserves.Video Interview
with Michel Chossudovsky.Global Research:10/23/24), explains: Anofficial
“secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry ofIntelligence “isrecommending
the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s2.2 million Palestinian
residents to Egypt’s SinaiPeninsula”,namely to a refugeecamp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of
Israel-Egyptnegotiations as well as consultations with theU.S. https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-gas-oil-and-trouble-in-the-levant/5362955
Aslanted vision
flares up the dark face of political reality, theUS-Israeli leaders pushing war
as a means of peace and war economyare like scum floating on a torrent. Evilhappens when conscientious men do
nothing. Human glory lives in theconception of good and righteousness, not
warriors of economic wars,robotic machines, weapons of destruction or agents of
politicalterrorism. We are moral beings enriched with inner consciousness
andvision for peace, human unity and sustainable future. It is aHobbesian formula:
“war of all against all.” Germanphilosopher Immanuel Kant (“Perpetual
Peace”, 1795), wasmore proactive and realistic when he noted
that: “Intellectualsmust be seated in chosen assemblies and systems of
public governanceto overt individualistic insanity against the people.”
Life and
Earth are aTrust to be Protected
Godcreated the
Heavens and Earth as a Trust to fulfill all humanaspirations and to flourish
human generations since time immemorial.It was not meant to be bombed and
destroyed by sheer ignorance andwickedness. Are we neglectful of our origin and
encompassed reality?Life is a trust and connected to accountability. It is
God Whogave you life, will cause you to die. And will again give you Life:truly
man is A most ungrateful creature. ( The Quran: 22: 66). Ourprofessed
ignorance and arrogance towards Divine Knowledge has pushedus to echo evil and
futility in a global cataclysm – thetreacherous conflict causing degeneration
to be at the epicenter ofman-made cataclysm driven by lingering suspicion in
relations toothers within the splendid Universe. The earth and universe are
meantfor human beings and are enriched to support all of their needs overtime
and space. Are we living in a disconnected world of our ownmaking?
Howdo you
limit man-made terror, egomaniac tyranny and devastationagainst fellow human
beings? Jesus is quoted in theBible saying: “If the
world hates you, you know it hatedme before it hated you…if they persecuted me,
they will alsopersecute you…John 15:18-25” Howdo We,the
People of Human Conscience makethese
ugly and disingenuous politicians to learn from history andchange the course of
events into peace and harmony for all of us? Thequality of our intellectual
consciousness is lost in the world oftime and space. All international
institutions are broken anddeliberately kept dysfunctional.Truth is One and the
same unchangingas it was many centuries earlier. Theemerging wars and destruction of Earth and human habitats are
blatantviolations of that TRUST betweenMan
and the Creator and call for awakening of human conscience andsoul: “TrulyMan is to his Lord, ungrateful and
that (fact) he bears witness (byhis deeds.): 6-7:100: The
Qur’an).
Allinformed
global communities have passion for peace, not wars.Whennations and leaders
subscribing to political absolutism start actinglike God and challenge the
sanctity and limits of the Lawsof
God;historically speaking they become an object of unthinkable
naturalcalamities- earthquakes, wildfires, floods, deaths anddestruction. TheMessage of the Qur’an (64 and 67: 40),clarifies
the truth of universal brotherhood and wisdom for all thetimes to come:
Itis God, Who
has made for you the Earth as a resting place and the skyas a canopy; And has
given you shape and made your shapes beautiful,and has provided for your
sustenance, Of things pure and good; Suchis God your Lord. So Glory to God, the
Lord of the Worlds. It is HeWho has created you from dust, Then from a
sperm-drop, Then from aleech-like clot; then He does He get you out (into the
light) as achild; then lets you grow and reach your age of full strength;
thenlets you become old. Though of you there are some of who die before;And
lets you reach a Term appointed; In order that ye may learnwisdom.
We,the people
must synthesize awakening of human consciousness for animmediate ceasefire,
peace and sustainable future. Our reasoningcannot be tampered with impunity as
those responsible must be heldaccountbale for crimes against humanity and
genocide in Gaza andPalestine. CaitlinJohnstone (“We
never really had a chance to build a healthyworld.” Information Clearing House:
09/11/22), authorof Woke:A
Field Guide for UtopiaPreppers. https://caitlinjohnstone.com: clarifieswhat went
wrong: And we wonder why everyone’s so dysfunctionaland self-destructive.
….So we’re all innocent, in the end. Again,we must of course push to bring
consciousness to the parts ofhumanity that have taken a wrong turn — to the war
criminals andplutocrats and managers of the empire, and all other abusers and
theabusive systems which elevate them. But underneath that fierce burstof light
there can also be a deep compassion and understanding bornof a lucid seeing of
how we got here in the first place.
