Treachery and Conspiracy over Palestine

Also published in Daily Trust

My intention was to write on Ashura occasion, which falls today, in order to address the atheistic rituals, cult rites, heretic and savage practices conducted by some people on this day under the pretext of mourning the martyrdom of Hussein bin Ali; a grandson of the apostle of Allah, who (i.e. Hussein) was murdered over thirteen hundred years ago. However, the recent Israeli aggression on Palestinians made me change my mind to write on the aggression instead.

Anyway, there is a saying that says “every country has a military except Israel, where it is actually the military that has a country i.e. the State of Israel”. Notwithstanding the few countries that don’t have militaries at all, this saying  is to a large extent accurate considering the bloody process of the country’s evolvement, where Zionist militias had systematically massacred Palestinians and driven their survivors away from their land in order to establish their illegal entity of the so-called State of Israel in 1948.

Subsequently such militias transformed into a “standard” government entity and continued to arrange systematic importations of Jews from different parts of the world into the occupied land with a view to outnumbering the remaining subjugated Arab communities scattered all over the country.

Since then, the military instead of academia for instance, remains the principal source from war criminals and bloodthirsty killers retire only to transform into politicians to continue running the country accordingly, which explains the militaristic or rather terroristic mind-set that defines the country’s political mentality.

For more than six decades, the resultant conflict has persisted and has been expanding both in scope and complexity, as it continuously attracts the interests of a growing number of countries with conflicting vested interests, which has literally thrown the core issue at stake into oblivion. And as the status quo persists and oscillates along the line of escalation, anxiety and uneasy calm, the leaders of such countries continue to beat around the bush pretending to be looking for a sustainable solution to the crisis.

Meanwhile, the moral credibility (if any) of the United Nations (UN) and other regional and international organizations has over the decades been discredited for their failure to enforce the very various settlement resolutions they have issued to solve the crisis, which (i.e. the resolutions) though already fell short of the standards of justice and fairness, could have at least mitigated the suffering of the Palestinians and indeed provided hope for eventual resolution of the whole conflict once and for all.

 Also, though the entire world shares the responsibility for its failure to end the crisis, the core guilt rests with the regional countries i.e. Middle Eastern countries in the first place. After all, Palestine is an Arab and Muslim country where also the third most scared Muslim site i.e. Al-Aqsa Mosque is located, which underscore the particular responsibility of the Arab/Muslim countries to work sincerely, concertedly and dedicatedly to end the Zionist occupation of the territory.

The Arab regimes which had in the past engaged Israel in wars and lost due to –among other things- their underestimation of the Israeli’s military might, were subsequently deceived and blackmailed into abandoning the course of armed struggle altogether in favour of bogus rounds of dialogue ostensibly to achieve peace.

For instance, the United States, which capitalizes on the most influential Arab regimes’ obsession with power and indeed their desperation to cling to it at all costs, has managed to make them believe that, without US protection their regimes would simply be overthrown either by some internal revolutionary elements or some external forces in the region.

Therefore, the U.S. continues to manipulate that largely unfounded fear in such Arab regimes and often alludes to the possibility of abandoning them to their fate should they decide to revert to the course of armed struggle for the liberation of Palestine or indeed go against the US strategic economic interests in the region. Alas, they succumbed to this pressure and betrayed the Palestine.

Consequently, this enabled the US, Israel and their allies contain the whole issue within their engineered and supervised scheme of fake peace talks, which of course will never lead to the liberation of the Palestinian territory. Meanwhile, other equally manipulative powers e.g. China and Russia got themselves involved hence continue to pursue their vested interests also at the cost of the actual resolution of the conflict.

In the same vein, Iran also took advantage of the situation to become part of the equation, where it manipulates the resentment of the average Arabs over their regimes’ betrayal of the Palestinian liberation struggle and pretends to be revolutionary, anti-Zionist and dedicated to the liberation of the Palestinian land. It utilizes its mastery of rhetorical and empty threats against Israel and the U.S. (e.g. the slogans of death to America and death Israel) to toy with the emotions of the gullible Muslims.

In the meantime, it actually supplies relatively light weapons to some Palestinian armed resistance groups, whose occasional miscalculated adventures instigate the Zionists’ madness to massacre and maim more Palestinians and destroy more properties, while such light weapons neither inflict any considerable damage on the Zionists nor repel their indiscriminate attacks on Palestinians let alone pose any existential threat to the survival of their illegal state entity.

Whereas in reality Iran is not any different from such Arab regimes in the sense that, despite being military superior to them, it has never dared to attack Israel anyway.  Instead, ever since the Persian revolution that brought their turban monks to power with the hidden agenda of reviving their defunct Zoroastrian Empire and practices under the pretext of the heretic ideology of Shi’ism through which it seeks to give it some resemblance with Islamic religion, Iran has always allied with whatever country provided that it would serve its vested interests. For instance, its arm purchase deals with Israel from 1981 to 1983 during its war with Iraq, its intelligence alliance with the US, which made it much easier for the US to invade Afghanistan in 2001 as well is its subsequent role in the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 etc., are all authentically documented.

Anyway, in as much as I believe that armed resistance is the only realistic option to liberate the Palestinian land, I believe that nothing short of an all-out war can liberate the land, which unfortunately no Arab or Muslim country is currently willing to go. Nonetheless, Palestine shall survive all these betrayals, internal intrigues and external conspiracies, and it shall be fully liberated sooner or later.
