The Palestine- Israel conflict is a stark reminder of the unequal power dynamics at play in our world.It resembles a battle between an ant & an elephant with Palestine representing the vulnerable ant while Israel mighty elephant .
Palestine, a tiny and feeble nation is courageously fighting to free it's illegally occupied land from cluches of Israel with unwavering support from USA& UK .While actions like Aqsa Torrent mosque desecration which is a symbol of oppression being faced by Palestine, had damaged to the already besieged Gaza strip and it's essential to understand that the struggle is driven by the right cause and supported by those who have been victims of this extreme brutality for the past about seven decades .The primary cause of this conflict traces back to 1946 when Israel was established.A small portion of Palestine was allocated as Israel by western powers.Since then Israel has continued to occupy most of the territory confining Palestine to a miniscule part.
The conflict,characterised by decades of violence, territorial disputes and political tensions continues to pose a significant threat to regional stability and regional peace .Israel has been dragging it's feet on question of Palestinian statehood while it continues with the occupation and settlements leaving Palestine with no glimmer of hope .The west &US to continues to look the other way in connection with Israel's gross rights violations.
THAT Hamas launched an attack on Israel is not entirely unexpected given Israel's oppression of the Palestine people US decries attack on Israel ,Egypt calls for restraint, Iran backs Hamas .The paradox being US opposes Russian invasion of Ukraine but ignores occupation of Palestine territory. Every stake holder in this conflict sees an opportunity in this ` War', Israel wants to expand it's territory, Iran which has always shared a hostile relationship with Israel ,seems to want to prevent normalisation of Israel -Saudi ties, while US wants to support Israel since the latter is the linchpin of it's middle east strategy ,Whats curious is that India's condolences are always one sided
