The US and Israel are at Odds–How to End the Gaza War?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

29 Mar <\/em>2024 – Wars are paradoxes of conflicting political and individualistic interests – gains in the present and loss in the future. At times America supports Israel as if a child of a surrogate mother but knows little of what puzzles\u00a0are in play by PM Netanyahu\u2019s naive egoism. Understanding the imperatives of power and influence, President Biden is unable to maneuver\u00a0Netanyahu to peace and co-existence with Arabs and Palestine. The Two States solution remains a fake illusion.American history narrates viable concepts of morality, good and wrong and voices of reason but not implied to Gaza. Wars and continued conflicts are lifelines for the Israeli leadership. The UNSC Resolution(3\/24\/24)calls for an \u201cimmediate ceasefire\u201d in Gaza and unrestricted supplies of humanitarian\u00a0aid but world\u2019s most hated and feared are at crossroads of lost fame and political power.The supplies of weapons of mass destruction to Israel without any check and balances \u00a0create a new unilateral dynamic of complicit aggression and violations of all the international civilized accords on war and peace.<\/p>\n

Where are the so-called International Humanitarian Law and the protocols of the Geneva Conventions offering protection to civilians in war against forced displacement, functional hospitals and medical professionals, and supplies of unrestrained foods and other necessities for human survival?\u00a0There is no conversation to end the war. Unlikely as it seems any US intervention to stop Israel carnage to Rafah as President Biden would need\u00a0AIPAC money and support to win the elections. Both Biden and Secretary Blinken playing with time to allow PM Netanyahu\u2019s political failure to achieve military objectives\u00a0in Gaza.\u00a0None is committed to peace with Palestinians. An Israeli Professor and Rabbi of Philosophy and Religions narrates his story to this author, why he left Israel seeking a new life in Canada. There was no peace and normalcy in life…. Jews are divided, atheist, secular, Zionists and lost precepts of the faith of Moses – the Divine Judaism. Israeli leaders are misleading people for their own political power,not for the good of Israeli masses or for peace or a sustainable future. Israel, to the Rabbi, could be at an edge of unknown disasters of survival in the Middle East unless it rethinks and reshapes its policies and practices to co-exist with the people of Palestine.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Arab-Muslim leaders live in dark ages, just puppets of the US – a scum floating on a torrent. The Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman called Jared Kushner a friend to do business and normalize relations with Israel but Kushner advocates \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d\u00a0of the people of Gaza. \u201cTrump Son-in-Law Jared Kushner Calls for Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza to \u2018Finish the Job\u201d\u00a0(Common Dreams – TRANSCEND Media Service<\/u>\u00a0: 3\/25\/24), <\/em>https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/2024\/03\/trump-son-in-law-jared-kushner-calls-for-ethnic-cleansing-of-gaza-to-finish-the-job\/<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0explains Jake Jonson: Kushner, who served as a key Middle East adviser to Trump, said that Gaza\u2019s \u201cwaterfront property could be very valuable\u201d and urged Israel to \u201cclean it up.\u201d….\u00a0that if he were in charge of Israeli policy, he would push <\/em>Gaza<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0civilians into Egypt or Israel\u2019s Negev desert\u2014a proposal that critics <\/em>denounced as ethnic cleansing<\/em><\/a><\/u>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Israel Pursues Political Objectives by Military Assaults<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although today\u2019s UN-SC Resolution agrees to an \u201cimmediate ceasefire\u201d, Israeli leaders have a different agenda. The perpetuated insanity \u2018Operation Al-Aqsa Flood\u2019<\/em>\u00a0Day 170: Israeli assaults against al-Shifa, Nasser, and al-Amal Hospitals and kills 170 people and arrests 800 innocent civilians. How else do you see cruelty and insane political actions emerging across Gaza? Suspicious\u00a0and embittered\u00a0PM Netanyahu unleashing violent assumptions of hatred, animosities\u00a0for his own political survival,\u00a0while Israeli protesters in Tel Aviv demand his resignation and change. Are the Israeli leaders purging America and its history\u00a0of national freedom and democratic values? The ICJ had ordered Israel to report back on the alleged \u201cGenocide\u201d judgment but insulting common sense the US denied its premise.<\/p>\n

Brett Wilkins<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cDraft UN Report Finds Israel Has Met Threshold for Genocide.\u201d Common\u00a0Dreams:3\/25\/24),<\/em>https:\/\/www.commondreams.org\/news\/gaza-genocide-2667597341?<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0states that: \u201cIsrael’s genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza is an escalatory stage of a long-standing settler-colonial process of erasure.\u201d\u00a0The UNHRC\u00a0report found\u00a0“reasonable grounds to believe” that Israel is committing genocide in <\/em>Gaza<\/em><\/a><\/u>, a move that came on the same day as the U.N. Security Council <\/em>passed<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0a resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the ongoing war. The <\/em>Anatomy of a Genocide<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u2014concludes that Israel’s far-right government and military \u201chave intentionally distorted<\/em>\u2002jus in bello<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0principles, subverting their protective functions, in an attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

America and Israel are fearful of the phenomenon of change as it could make them obsolete and misfit for the future even with all the imaginary\u00a0power and monetary influence.They are bewildered with no sense of time, strengths and weaknesses – how to collaborate for an uncertain future. Do civilizations grow out of moral mire, tyranny and military conquests? America according to its thinking hubs lost more than it gained by supporting Israel unequivocally.\u00a0<\/strong>Sigmund Freud\u00a0<\/strong>(Civilization and its Discontent, 1930),\u00a0noted that:\u00a0\u201cthe inclination to aggression is an original self-subsisting instinctual disposition in man, and that it constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Consequent to the Israeli bloodbath\u00a0of civilians in Gaza, all futuristic imagination of peace with Arabs is gone.\u00a0Was the discovery of \u201coil\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0an obsession – a stigma, a conspiracy\u00a0(\u201cfitna\u201d<\/strong>)\u00a0to forfeit the Arab culture and Islamic civilization?\u00a0Please see: \u201cHow Arab Leaders Betray Islam and Defy the Logice of Political Change, Peace and Security.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Every beginning\u00a0has its end but nothing in sight how America wants to end the war and how Israel prefers its own agenda to surprise the American political intellect. \u00a0Despite the UN reports of famine and starvation of people of Gaza, shocking as is to discover,\u00a0there is no UNO workable mechanism, no Arab -Muslim leaders and no armies to protect the people of Gaza and the West Bank.\u00a0Jerome Irwin<\/a>\u00a0(\u201cAmerica Is Israel, Israel Is America, and the Military-Industrial Corporate Fascism Is What It Is\u201d: Global Research: 3\/01\/24), author of The Wild Gentle Ones; A Turtle Island Odyssey, a \u00a0criminology professional and a Canadian-American former CIA agent explains:\u00a0<\/em>https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/america-israel-israel-america-military-industrial-corporate-fascism\/5851096<\/em><\/a><\/u>\u00a0What is happening today to the Palestinians in their former homelands of Palestine can be likened to what happened to\u00a0indigenous Indians, Black slaves and Mexican peasants in the 18th<\/sup>\u00a0& 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century history books of America and Canada\u2019s Wild West or Southern ante-bellum states. ……Yet now in 2024, thanks to America\u2019s latest shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel\u2019s settler-colonial racist apartheid state, its Zionists are able to even more effectively kill or wipe out whole families, villages, refugee camps and settlements of Palestinians;\u00a0ruthlessly pushing aside, or totally removing, whatever still recalcitrant defenders still remain in their former territories.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Earth is a \u00a0Divine Hub of Human Life, Survival and a Trust, Those Bombing and Destroying it are Sadistic People<\/p>\n

The earth is living and spins at 1670 km per hour and orbits the Sun at 107,000 km per hour. Imagine, if this spinning fails, what consequences could occur to the living beings on Earth. Think again, about the average distance of earth from moon is 93 million miles -the distance of Moon from Earth is currently 384,821 km equivalent to 0.002572 Astronomical Units. Earth\u00a0is a \u201ctrust\u201d<\/em>\u00a0to mankind for its existence, sustenance\u00a0of life, survival, progress and future-making.\u00a0Wherever there is a trust, there is accountability.The Divine warning\u00a0(Chapter 7: 56: The Quran), warns: Do no mischief on the Earth after it hath been set in order, but call on God with fear and longing in hearts; For the Mercy of God is always near to those who do good.\u00a0(44:38-39), the reminder is explicit: We created not the Heavens and the Earth; And all between them merely in idle sport. We created them not, Except for just ends. But most of them do not understand.The Divine Message \u00a0(Quran:40:64)<\/em>,clarifies:<\/p>\n

It is God Who made for you the Earth as a resting place and the sky as a canopy; And has given you shape and made your shapes beautiful, And has provided for your Sustenance, of things pure and good; Such is God your Lord. So Glory to God, The Lord of the Worlds.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

The War on Gaza is a stigma of political survival for PM Netanyahu as the Ultra Nationalist groups aligned\u00a0with him continuously violate\u00a0the sanctity of\u00a0Al-Aqsa Mosque,\u00a0the Arab-Muslim leaders are simply the spectators watching the provocations. Please see:<\/p>\n

Intelligent leaders\u00a0always heed voices of reason and rational advice but\u00a0American and Israeli\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0warmongering and crimes against humanity\u00a0are contrary to the Nature of Things. Netanyahu and Biden both lack the capacity and foresight to end the war or win the unthinkable consequences.Our failure to grasp the compelling realities of Israeli\u00a0atrocities against the helpless 2.9 million civilians of Gaza makes us feel to be standing at some of the darkest timeline of history.More than 31,000\u00a0deaths, 71,000 injured,\u00a014,000 children killed and destruction\u00a0of infrastructures could have been avoided if reason and honest policies were implied to the crisis. The time and opportunities call for urgent rethinking and\u00a0reshaping \u00a0of new visions and creative ideas\u00a0to reject violence, genocide\u00a0and vengeance as contrary to the nature of humanity, peace and intellect. We, the People of Global Conscience and thinkers share seamless common bonds of truth, universal morality and being One Humanity and\u00a0must reject tyranny of war\u00a0and genocide\u00a0as a means to solve political problems and stand united\u00a0to facilitate\u00a0dialogue and globalization of one people for conflict resolution\u00a0and peace-making.<\/p>\n
