Recent actions by Israel's military, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership, particularly in response to Hamas activities on October 6th, but now the world is starting to hate Israel and Judaism again, unfortunately.
Hamas killed the possibility of peace, so is Israel doing now!
Israeli authorities had a detailed 40-page plan, known as “Jericho Wall,” outlining a potential Hamas assault on southern Israeli towns. Interestingly, a significant portion of the Israeli military was concurrently redeployed to the north.
There are claims that Israel indirectly supported Hamas to undermine the broader Palestinian liberation movement. Allegedly, Prime Minister Netanyahu played a direct role in maintaining Hamas's presence, evidenced by permitting Qatari officials to transport cash into Gaza before the attacks on October 7th.
The situation in Gaza is a reflection of a larger pattern of global conflicts, where superpowers often play significant roles. This pattern is evident in various regions, from Iraq and Afghanistan to Ukraine and the broader Middle East, each bearing a unique human cost. At the United Nations, Palestinian representatives have sought recognition of Palestine as a state under occupation. However, this move has faced resistance, notably from Washington.
Statements by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, particularly his call to "erase" the Palestinian town of Hawara and his denial of Palestinian identity and rights, have added to the controversy. Such extreme views contribute to escalating tensions and exacerbate issues like water allocation – where Israelis receive the majority – and restricted building permits for Palestinians, today less than 1% a stark contrast to the over 90% building permits policies of the 1970s.
The potential succession of Benjamin Netanyahu by figures like Benny Gantz, the former IDF chief and leader of the National Unity party, is notable. Gantz, a lifelong soldier, is primarily experienced in managing the occupation, suggesting that he might continue similar policies. The events of October 7th, marked by extreme views and actions, have further polarized the situation.
But what if all this is Netanyahu's plan how to make Palestinian territory completely uninhabitable, by bombing it back to the Middle Ages? Remember that Hamas is mainly an idea and you will never destroy an idea.
OK, we’re probably too many of us on this blue planet, but must we kill each other in the name of God? Unfortunately, this is the story of two people, two gods and two point of views without a viable solution today?
Israel is undeniably a beautiful country, populated by wonderful people whom I've had the pleasure of visiting and appreciating. Their desire for a compassionate government and a peaceful coexistence with their neighbors is commendable.
However, it's essential to broaden our perspective and acknowledge that issues of indigenous peoples extend beyond Israel. In countries like America, England, and Russia, the annals of world history are replete with examples of strong powers attempting to disintegrate indigenous populations unfortunately.
In conclusion, the complexities of the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank extend beyond simple narratives. Terror attacks like the Hamas attacks on October 7th are tragically destructive and undermine regional stability. A resolution requires Israeli initiative and international cooperation to foster lasting peace.
My Note:
And today, December 16, we have protests in Tel Aviv after the Israel's military admitted to accidentally killing three Israel hostages in Gaza in their killing spree.
