19 May 2025 – History repeats itself and a favorite perversion is at work. Opportunist European imperialists fighting their nationalistic Two World Wars used colonized Arabs to divide and fight their wars with two million or more lost lives. The oil discovery propelled fake economic prosperity and often people and nations go astray galvanized by economic prosperity. Tyranny produces tyrants, but Islam made Arabs – one of the leading forces of moral character and nobility, they influenced European thinking hubs and intellectual cultures.Western leaders negating the contributions of Islamic culture and civilization to 15th-16th centuries European Renaissance, scientific and technological developments, transforming authoritarian Arab leaders to take refuge in American strategic protection – a dream of folly and exploitative network robbing several trillions of dollar from Arab oil wealth. Once the Arabs were pioneers in knowledge, progress and civilization, today appear as besieged slaves of consumerism. Had they continued, says the Quran (12:117): “Your Lord would never destroy a people / towns for doing wrong while their people were trying to reform.” Most Western mythologists call the Arab leaders “cameljockeys”, overwhelmed with immeasurable primitive tribalism.Global community is witnessing the on-going American supported Israeli war on Palestine as ethnic cleansing and genocide happening without any international protection to the people ofGaza. The US President Trump wrapped up the three days trip, enlisting trillions of dollars worth of business deals including protection of the rulers and weapon sales which set the scheme of things to ensure imperial domination of the region.

Dr. Feroz M. Kamal, an international scholar (“The Arab Tyrants’ Partnership in Crime with the USA”: 5/15/2025), spells out the reality: The tyrant rulers of the Gulf States also need their own security. President Trump knows the weaknesses of these states. President Trump one said that the monarchs of these states can’t stay in power for more than a few days without the US help. Hence these monarchs are buying the security from the USA. The UAE alone is handing over 1.4 trillion to the US over a few years. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also pledged the same -although the payouts may be different. But the USA’s lust is much deeper, it demands 10 trillions. Chris Hedges (“The New Dark Age” The Chris Hedges Report 5/17/2025), https://chrishedges.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email: tells the truth: A few miles away in Gaza, dozens of men, women and children, living in crude tents or damaged buildings amid the rubble, are being butchered daily from bullets, bombs, missile strikes, tank shells, infectious diseases and that most ancient weapon of siege warfare — starvation…..Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has launched a new offensive that is killing upwards of 100 people a day, has declared that nothing will impede this final assault, named Operation Gideon’s Chariots.There will be “no way,” Israel will stop the war, he announced, even if the remaining Israeli hostages are returned. Israel is “destroying more and more houses” in Gaza. The Palestinians “have nowhere to return.” 

Who would Hold Arab Leaders Accountable for their Complicity?

To PM Netanyahu, Greater Israel is the top most agenda, American strategy encourages Israel with will and weapons to unleash conquest of the Arab world. The so-called Arab leaders – the authoritarian “puppets” of the US never had the capacity to think outside the decadent box and question the Master about this stigma of war and its ultimate purposes to dominate the Arab world. The US and Israel are moving around all quagmires and forging it to ensure continued killing of the people of Gaza under false pretext of terrorism and allowing new settlements by settlers to strengthen Israeli command over the West Bank and to put a finished answer to Palestine freedom movement. Professor Michel Chossudosky (“Donald Trump Wants to Transform Gaza into a “U.S. Territory”? Goodbye to “Greater Israel”? Gaza’s maritime gas reserves would be under U.S. Jurisdiction? https://www.globalresearch.ca/why-does-donald-trump-want-to-transform-gaza-into-a-u-s-territory/

5879488 warns of the catastrophic plans: Under Trump’s advisory, Palestinians would be relocated and excluded from their homeland.As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight11years ago in a December, 30 2013 article: “Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil,“IfAll Goes to Plan””. Arbuthnot was referring to the ownership of Gaza’s maritime natural gas reserves, which belong to the State of Palestine. At the time of writing, the Netanyahu government is planning to appropriate these maritime gas reserves. What this signifies is that Israel is intent upon annexing Gaza as well as destroying an entire country.

The American Strategies are Part of Israeli Plans to Dismantle the Arab World

Gaza and West Bank are obliterated by Israeli war over 18 months of continued conflict and bombardments of civilian infrastructures. If the leading Arab leaders had capacity and moral-intellectual foresight, they should have challenged the insanity of war and protected the innocent masses of Gaza. But they look for escape from reality under the US military shield. The Divine message clarifies (13: 27): “Say, God lets anyone He wishes go astray; and guides to Himself anyone who feels concerned.” The Arab leaders appear morally, intellectually and politically bankrupt as a scum floating on a torrent of naive puppets and discredited leaders. The American-Israeli collaborative war on Gaza and its immediate consequences made the Western world and all of its institutions shamefully redundant and void in the 21stcentury global norms of civility, human rights, freedom, justice and safety of civilians- whereas crimes against humanity are captured in obscure impulses and indecision and deliberate inaction by the UN Security Council. If Israel is not stopped, soon the leading oil exporting Arab states could fly Israeli-American flags for a change. Please see: “Global Humanity Warns the Pharaohs of the Consequences of War” (UncommonThought Journal: 4/18/25): https://www.uncommonthought.com/mtblog/archives/2025/04/18/global-humanity-warns-the-pharaohs-of-the-consequences-of-war.php,

God created you as human beings – the most intelligent creation on this planet with moral and intellectual capacity, obligations and accountability. If you defy the Laws of God, you will be held accountable like other aggressors in the past. You cannot pretend to think and behave like animals. Animals live and do not reflect on the imperatives of life whereas, we, the human beings cannot act like animals as we are supposed to be intelligent and responsible species on this Earth. At the edge of reason, the notion of evil leads to realization of evil and tyranny of war must be stopped by all means and those responsible for the genocide and crimes against humanity must be held accountable to restore the manifestation of  peace, justice and security for all. Intelligent people, leaders and nations always readily accept advice: The followers of Moses – the generations of Israelite are reminded by God (The Quran 2: 84-85 ): And remember, We took a Covenant from the Children of Israel (progeny of Jacob), Worship none but God; ….shed no blood amongst you, Nor displace people from  homes: and Ye solemnly ratified, And to this ye can bear witness…. It was not lawful for you to banish another party, then it is only a part of the Book that ye believe in…. And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty,For God is not unmindful what ye do.
