10 Mar <\/em>2024 – Five months gone and the US supported Israeli violence and bombardment\u00a0of Gaza unfolds prodigious lies of terror\u00a0to have redfined and reshaped the so-called Western political hegemonic mental microscope of power exposing\u00a0dreadful apparatus of moral and intellectual brimstone\u00a0and failure of human consciousness to see planned human massacres, genocide and alleged crimes against humanity. Tyranny of reason ignores the sanctity of human life and continued occupation of Palestine and is implied while Israel obliterated the entire civilian population of Gaza with US sent bombs and warmachines.President Biden (MSNBC interview:3\/9\/24), blames PM Netanyahu for irrational choices to invade Rafah that is \u2018hurting Israel\u2019 more than helping its cause. America is isolated in global affairs and lost when it comes to shrouded mystery of strange choices to support Israel for the wrong actions or warn Netanyahu of the \u2018red lines.\u2019<\/p>\n

Multiplied\u00a0consequential threats to\u00a0global security\u00a0and peace, the Western\u00a0leaders,\u00a0the so-called proponents of international\u00a0peace, security and human\u00a0rights\u00a0turned out to be wicked spectators mocking human understanding of catastrophic and painful sufferings\u00a0endured by the 2.9 million civilian people of Gaza. The US supplied all the weapons to Israel\u00a0without any accountability to international law, Geneva Conventions and UNO protection of the civilians in conflict zones.

Kamala Harris, the US VP comes out of political void to call for \u2018an immediate ceasefire\u2019,\u00a0not part of the usual American agenda. PM Netanyahu\u00a0and his war cabinet look paranoid, vengeful\u00a0\u00a0and egomaniac and politically ruptured as the masses in Israel demonstarte daily demanding a ceasefire and return of 134 hostages and new elections. The al-Jazeera \u201cOctober 7\u201d investigation reports of 27 Israeli citizen hostages killed by their own gun helicopters.

The US-Israel convergence of humanitarian airdrops is an analogy of absurdity and contradictions, explains Dr.Paul Larduee\u00a0(\u201cGaza Airdrops: Propaganda and Possibilities.\u201d Global Research: 3\/6\/24): …\u00a0the US. Israel can appear to be less heartless than its genocidal practices would otherwise suggest, and similar PR applies to the other participants that are collaborating with the genocide….. Of course, Israel also agrees to the airdrops because they exercise control over them. https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/gaza-airdrops-propaganda-possibilities\/5851409<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

Western Imperialism Controls the Puppet Arab-Muslim Leaders<\/u><\/p>\n

The Arab-Muslim world is a dead-ended entity of ritual flurries on the crisis without formal burials and no public institutions of reasoned thought and action and responsibility. There are no customary Arab armies or leaders capable of defending the Palestinian cause or interest of Islam. The OIC, Saudi Arabia and the Arab League are \u00a0symbolic configurations without any capacity – an insult to common sense. The Arab Middle East\u00a0is a static region of fake\u00a0oil-based economic prosperity and uncertainty being governed by\u00a0\u00a0former neo-colonial tribal agents installed by the Europeans as\u00a0kings, presidents, emirs, prince and princes living\u00a0in palaces, not with people.\u00a0Was the discovery of \u201coil\u201d\u00a0an obsession – a stigma, a conspiracy\u00a0(\u201cfitna\u201d)\u00a0to forfeit the Arab culture and Islamic civilization?\u00a0Please see more \u201cHow Arab Leaders Betray Islam and Defy the Logice of Political Change, Peace and Security.\u201d https:\/\/www.uncommonthought.com\/mtblog\/archives\/2023\/10\/07\/how-did-arab-leaders-betrayed-islam-and-defied-the-logic-of-political-change-peace-and-security.php<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

The Arab-Muslim leaders mark achievements of friendly relationship with Israel while Israeli-American policies are aimed at rebuking the rights and freedom of Palestine and the joke of \u2018two states solution.\u2019The Western mythologist view the oil exporting Arab leaders as \u201ccamel\u00a0jockeys\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0brainless\u00a0figures.\u00a0Their\u00a0palaces are protected\u00a0by the American and European\u00a0mercenaries,\u00a0pre-occupied in\u00a0erecting high-rise buildings, organizing football and\u00a0olympic games\u00a0and COP28, while 2.9\u00a0millions are being bombed\u00a0and more than 30,000\u00a0are massacred across Gaza;\u00a0some 13,000\u00a0innocent children and more than 8,000 women are killed\u00a0and 70,000 people injured.\u00a0The daily Israeli carnage and killings in the West Bank and new settlements are constant reminders of violations of international law written on paper since 1948.\u00a0\u00a0Do the Arab-Muslim leaders breathe oxygen in a delusional fantasy?

The Earth is a Living Trust Those Bombing it are Not Normal Human Beings<\/u><\/p>\n

Earth is living – a trust\u00a0to mankind, it\u00a0rotates itself at a speed of 1000 miles per hour at equator\u00a0and\u00a0orbits the Sun at average speed of 67062 MPH.\u00a0It is perfectly balanced by the Divine order for human survival and progress. All praises are to God, the Creator of the Heavens and Earth Who has balanced it as just for human living, solidarity and progress.\u00a0Wherever there is trust, there is accountability.The so-called Western official humanity succumbs to the mysterious ideal\u00a0of democracy and primitive discourse to face the compelling\u00a0reality.\u201cFear God\u201d and \u2018do not violate the covenants of peace and trust on Earth.\u2019The Divine Message (3: 190: The Quran)\u00a0clarifies: Verily in the creation of the Heavens and of the Earth and in the succession of the night and of the day, are signs for men of understanding; Who standing and sitting and reclining,<\/p>\n

bear God in mind and reflect on the creation of the Heavens and of Earth and say:<\/p>\n

Oh, our Lord-Thou has not created this invain<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those bombing and causing catastrophic destruction\u00a0of life and Earth are not the normal human beings.\u00a0The followers of Moses\u00a0–\u00a0the generations of Israelite are reminded by God (Quran 2: 84-85):\u00a0And remember, We took a Covenant from the Children of Israel (progeny of Jacob), Worship none but God; \u2026.shed no blood amongst you, Nor displace people from \u00a0homes: and Ye solemnly ratified……\u00a0And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty,For God is not unmindful what ye do.<\/p>\n

And killing of innocent people is prohibited in the\u00a0Ten Commandments (Torah):<\/p>\n

‘Thou shalt not kill’ (Exod. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17). Jewish law views the shedding of innocent blood very seriously, and lists murder as one of three sins (along with idolatry and sexual immorality), that fall under the category of yehareg ve’al ya’avor – meaning “One should let himself be killed rather than violate it.”According to Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague: \u2018Jewish law forbids the killing of innocent people, even in the course of a legitimate military engagement.\u2019<\/p>\n

Is the Fallacy of Civilized Western World Coming to an End on Its Own?<\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The global institutions and systems of democratic governance and all of its formal moral, intellectual and political proclamations appear defunct when it comes to deal with Israel and the US war against humanity.There is a complete disconnect to moral and humanitarian values and the present and futuristic survival and progress of civilized mankind. Media reports indicate several hundreds of West European and American troops fighting in support of Israel. What a shame, what a disgrace that Arab-Muslim leaders would not act to defend the human dignity, security and freedom of the people of Gaza.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The American-Israeli collaborative\u00a0war on Gaza and its immediate consequences made the Western world and all of its institutions shamefully redundant in the 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century global norms of civility, human rights, freedom, justice and safety of civilians\u00a0– whereas crimes against humanity are captured in obscure impulses and indecision and deliberate inaction by the UNO and the Security Council. Mocking its Charter\u2019s\u00a0obligations, the UN Security Council failed to agree to an immediate ceasefire or to protect the civilians from terror of daily bombardments of hospitals, doctors, ambulances, schools\u00a0and places of worship. The Five months continued \u00a0onslaught sounds like 500 years of prolonged insanity that mankind has never witnessed except the TWO\u00a0WW. While the political cynicism and wickedness across the Western hemisphere is endemic, the need to end the war calls for an urgent reasoned dialogue for peace. The animals have no bombs, no guns and bullets to kill each other\u00a0and do not reflect on the imperatives of life.\u00a0We, the human beings, are supposed to be intelligent and responsible species on this Earth. At the edge of reason,\u00a0the notion of evil leads to realization of evil and tyranny of war must be stopped by all means and those responsible for bombing the innocents, the genocide and crimes against humanity must be held accountable to restore the vision of\u00a0a sustainable moral and intellectual humanity.<\/p>\n
