Arab-Israel war

 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






Arab-Israel war

 The situation in Gaza Strip is terribly disturbing but who is responsible for the present situation? THE Gazans are now paying the price for the folly and mindless acts of Hamas and are reduced to the status of helpless lambs to be slaughtered at the whims of Islam's jihadis who care two hoots about the loss of lives of women& children in the ongoing reprisal by Israel. To start With Hamas did the cruelest harakiri that Israel couldn't think of and as a follow up the latter is doing a great disservice to humanity as a whole.

The Israeli military's order for one million Palestinian people to relocate to North Gaza within 24 hours is a heartbreaking display of humanity. For half of the population in such a small area to be forced to move helter-skelter like desperate immigrants is a stain on our shared idea of civility. While the attack by Hamas on Israel is deplorable, Israel's retaliatory actions in Gaza are equally distressing. In this connection, it may be noted that a striking feature among the three latest wars- namely, Russia Ukraine, Armania-Azerbaijan, &Israel-- Palestine,-is the targeted killing of the civilian population. The long-drawn Ukraine war doesn't show signs of ending soon. And now a new outbreak of war in West Asia makes it imperative for global leaders to reset their their international priorities. THE economies of the world would be dented if the two parallel wars continued.
This is the greatest tragedy despite the world spending huge funds to run the UNO and quite a few other bodies to ensure the peaceful coexistence of people from various countries. However, the UN should have already taken steps to broker peace in the area. Its formation was primarily intended to prevent wars, protect human rights, and promote stability and peace in the world. Unfortunately, it has fallen short of achieving these objectives and instead has become a battleground for capitalist and communist powers led by the US & Russia, China, etc.
