http://tinyurl.com/awuwyhph

Now is a critical moment for us to demonstrate our humanity in the face of the brutal Israeli crimes taking place in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as the immoral support provided by the US administration.

In the wake of the atrocities unfolding in Palestine, our perception of life has undergone a profound shift. It has forced us to confront our true values and reevaluate ourselves and our communities. The comfort of our lives has been shattered, revealing a savage version of the world we inhabit. It is now imperative that we deeply reflect on where we stand, for the next generation will hold us accountable if we fail to stand up for what is right.

It is the time now to have proper education about the subject. It is not complicated at all.

For far too long, many of us were unaware of the daily misery endured by the Palestinians since 1948. However, today, we bear witness to a calamity and catastrophe reminiscent of the Palestinians’ experiences in 1948. The crucial distinction now is that we have the power to take action, even if it is through our voices.

The level of inhumanity displayed by Israeli and US officials is unimaginable. It is unimaginable that in the 21st century, we are witnessing the use of starvation as a weapon. Israel’s officials and military have unabashedly targeted civilians, rendering Gaza an uninhabitable place. The relentless killing machine and the perpetration of crimes against humanity appear unstoppable. It seems as though the soldiers have been indoctrinated to kill relentlessly, to the extent that even their own hostages have fallen victim to their lethal military machinery. Let alone the many videos where they brag about the killing and destruction.

The events unfolding in Palestine, both in Gaza and the West Bank, serve as a resounding wake-up call. Our view of the world will never be the same again. The rapid increase in polarization is evident, as people are compelled to take a stance on this issue that transcends borders and ideologies. We are now faced with a profound choice: to turn a blind eye or to actively stand up against injustice.

It is our duty to raise our voices, to advocate for justice, and to demand an end to the suffering endured by the Palestinians.

These atrocities serve as a stark reminder that our comfortable lives can be disrupted and our safety and security compromised by a ruling elite more focused on self-interest and serving the wealthy, rather than prioritizing the well-being and humanity of those they govern.

History will judge all of us!

Do we genuinely recognize the reality that approximately 7 million Palestinians and 7 million Israeli Jews inhabit the region and have no desire to relocate? It is crucial to highlight the significant contributions of the few Palestinian and Israeli activists who are actively involved in pioneering peace initiatives (refer to resources). While this perspective should be inherently rational, it raises doubts about the rationality of narrow-minded governments.

While the world’s superpower, the United States, should actively promote peace and conflict resolution, instead, the current administration has brought the US to its weakest point in modern history, leaving the impression that it is a puppet of the Netanyahu-led Israeli extremist regime. This tarnishes the global perception of both Israel and the US and further intensifies and fuels a dangerous pattern of societal polarization, leading to:

1. Escalation of Violence: Societal polarization fuels a vicious cycle of violence, resulting in more casualties.

2. Impediment to Peaceful Negotiations: with polarization, finding common ground and engaging in meaningful dialogue about peace becomes increasingly challenging.

3. Erosion of Trust and Cooperation: Societal polarization undermines trust and cooperation among communities, fueling a cycle of fear, suspicion, and animosity. In the US, this polarization causes harm as individuals become increasingly divided, leading to the abuse of power to harm those holding opposing views. Disturbingly, there have been instances of people facing termination simply for expressing their opinions and thoughts.

4. International Diplomatic Isolation: It is worth considering instances such as the US utilizing its veto power to block ceasefires against the wishes of the majority of the international community.

The current Israeli/US regimes lack the genuine willingness to take the necessary actions and I anticipate that the situation may worsen before it improves. However, I remain steadfast in my conviction that a peaceful resolution is attainable through:

1. Immediate Ceasefire: This is the first step towards de-escalation.

2. Politics over Force: Israel/US must recognize that a political and diplomatic approach is key to achieving a sustainable solution.

3. International Mediation: The international community should actively facilitate mediation efforts to bring both parties to the negotiating table. The US should not practice veto power.

4. Addressing Root Causes: this includes issues of land, settlements, refugees, and the status of Jerusalem.

5. Humanitarian Assistance: this should be prioritized to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians.

6. International Accountability: Israel, US and Palestine must be held accountable for any war crimes or human rights violations committed. The International Criminal Court (ICC) should be fully empowered.

This is wishful thinking but can be achieved if a critical mass of humans prioritize justice, peace and coexistence over greed and imperialistic agenda.

I’m thrilled to see this peace initiative:

Another wake up call for everyone. Let us reflect: if all nations lose, who would be a winner?

The consequences of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict are complex and multifaceted. On the top of the consequences are isolation of the US, strategic defeat for Israel, and catastrophe for Palestine. Let’s break this down in part 1 and offer a suggestion/resources in part 2 on where each of us can focus energy to change the situation.

US Isolation:

This consequence holds significant weight and has been extensively discussed by US political scientists, retired veterans, and activists through numerous articles/lectures. The trajectory of US decline has become increasingly evident, particularly with the current administration’s unwavering support for Netanyahu’s policies. As the international community increasingly criticizes the US for its perceived biased stance, it fosters a perception of the US as uncooperative and unresponsive to global concerns. The isolation of the US can have far-reaching impacts on its relationships with other countries. It strains diplomatic ties, erodes trust, and curtails the US’s influence and ability to shape international affairs. Moreover, this isolation creates opportunities for other nations to step in and fill the void left by the US, potentially diminishing its ability to rally support or garner consensus on crucial issues. As a result, the US may find it challenging to effectively advocate for its interests on the global stage.

Strategic Defeat for Israel:

The unprecedented violence and massacres perpetrated by Israel have profound geopolitical, military, and diplomatic repercussions. Following the October 7 events, an increasing number of individuals are immersing themselves in the conflict, only to discover that Israel is an oppressor and an apartheid regime that disregards human rights. Consequently, the majority of nations now view Israel as a bully, resulting in a severely tarnished and distorted image of the country in the eyes of the global populace.

As a consequence, Israel faces diplomatic isolation, finding itself marginalized or excluded from regional and international forums and normalization. Moreover, in terms of security threats, a strategic defeat for Israel could entail heightened tensions with neighboring countries, the rise of asymmetric warfare, or the emergence of new security challenges that necessitate significant resources

If the US were to take corrective measures such as halting weapons sales and withdrawing support, Israel might potentially be compelled to adopt more moderate policies and behaviors. As noted by Daniel Levy, impunity fuels extremism within Israel. However, regardless of the outcome, it is likely that we will witness further internal divisions and erosion of national unity in Israel, which had already commenced before the events of October 7.

✴️ Catastrophe (Nakba) for Palestine – Zionists’ dream:

The situation in Palestine could escalate further to force people to leave their land. Another Nakba is at play, which in my opinion is Zionists’ intention from day one.

From Zionists’ perspective, there maybe no better time to crush Palestinians than now. Here is why:

1. You have the most right wing government and largest base of extremism

2. You have a reason to use in front of public opinion (October 7 attacks) and if someone speaks up let’s use antisemitism to shut them up

3. You have unprecedented support from the weapons provider (the US)

4. You have a leverage over western countries (US included) through political lobbies and financial elites.

5. You have the most oppressive dictators in neighboring countries and their populations cannot even protest

6. Internationally, you have a Veto by your side

7. Most importantly, the future is not on your side: your evangelical support base in the US is declining, all surveys of people 36 years old and under are opposed to your actions, significant numbers of Jews in the US are protesting against you and Jewish youth are exposing your inhumanity. The more you wait the worse.

So, I have no doubt that Zionists will seize the opportunity now and exert their utmost effort.

On the other hand, no one else would accept the forced removal of Palestinians from their land, so we are about to watch a regional war that would also drag the US and UK at least. I have no doubt that countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia will become more involved, similar to what we have seen from Yemen and Lebanon.

✴️ Beneficiaries from the Conflict:

Various industries, entities, and ideologies directly and indirectly profit from the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In terms of ideology, Zionism takes a prominent position, particularly among the far-right extremists in Israel who seek to expand their control over the entire region.

The military-industrial complex also benefits significantly from the conflict. Security and defense companies, media organizations, as well as construction and reconstruction companies, find increased opportunities and financial gains in times of war and heightened tensions. This shall be further investigated in other posts.

Furthermore, politicians who prioritize their own re-election often become beholden to the individuals and organizations funding their campaigns. This reliance can create a dynamic where these politicians become subservient to the interests of those financing them. The influence and brag of AIPAC is a clear shameful example here.
