Not one day goes by where I sit back and look at dead children being pulled out of houses that have been bombarded by IDF. It’s sickening to watch and it has to stop. Right now.
Israel is by any means not interested in any form for peace or Palestinians life and the world needs to accept the fact that these war criminals are only interested in one thing, to eliminate an entire population.
Netanyahu, the polish citizen in Israel, claiming to be a semitic.. (which he is not).. said the following today:
And let’s not forget what was said from these people.
Two days after the Hamas attack, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel was “fighting human animals,” in announcing a complete siege on Gaza.
Deputy Knesset speaker Nissim Vaturi from the ruling Likud party wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Israelis had one common goal, “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.” Israeli Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu, from the far-right Jewish Power party, suggested that Israel drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza and said there were “no uninvolved civilians” in the territory.
These are people in the government. Democratically elected.
This is also the exact reason to why I don’t think a Israeli state operating in it’s current form is healthy for anyone. We need to dismantle the vision of there needs to be a land for jews. Not sure why Zionist think that they are entitled to having their own land just because they are jews. If anything, since US is so loving and caring for their genocidal brothers and sisters, they should take some of their stolen land and give on to the Israeli. Then they can experience how Israel will slowly try and steal it all from them and no, we will not support anyone with bombs in the US, we will let you feel the pain as you let the pain suffering be extended to Palestine by offering more bombs to the settlers.
The next blog post has to be something else than war. If this continues, we will have no other option than to hire a private army and let them roll out their rage on Israel and eliminate their leaders once and for all. 🫳🏽🎤

Another interesting reflection Waqas.
Today’s ICC announcement – seeking the arrest of both Hamas and Israeli leaders – marked a small hope of justice in the horizon. Sadly it quickly faded with Biden and Blinken unambiguously rejecting the decision and it’s legitimacy. It has shocked me how quickly the US has taken this stand. It’s sad and cynical on so many levels. It’s another blatant example of Western hypocrisy. It’s also a safe bet that European leaders will avoid the issue with word-games of it obstructing the immediate priority of cease-fire blah blah.
The quick US reaction – perhaps driven by domestic policy – is another proof point of my previous statement. That US is THE stakeholder and that non-violent actions that harm US interests is key. This is a difficult undertaking so how might it be achieved…
Adopt a ‘swing state approach’ – as seen in US presidential elections end outcomes can be determined by a small group of voters. As stated earlier I think current protests are too ‘extreme’. Especially in the eyes of Americans that geographically and mentally are far from the conflict. Ivy League students – often coming from privileged backgrounds – blocking schools is NOT going to convince a low income Texas housewife to take an interest in the facts of the conflict. Simply put the ‘Gaza party’ needs a better and more professional PR machine to win over new voter groups demanding an end to the conflict, etc.
Increasing Regional stakes – as stated previously Gaza get’s plenty of Regional rhetoric support but what have Turkey and OPEC countries really put on the line? It’s too easy condemning Israel and US with words – where are the tangible sacrifices these countries are willing to make in sympathy with the people of Gaza? Right now leaders in these countries far too easily get away with words or empty non-realistic military threats. Why isn’t there intelligent efforts to create a coherent peaceful plan to harm US economic interest in the Region? Well 3 obvious reasons are:
1. People in the Region aren’t focussed enough on keeping their leaders accountable (I understand it’s difficult in many of these countries)
2. Too many conflicting and selfish economic interests at play (nothing new but point is rather that local domestic protests this way may serve both the people of Gaza and political reforms, call it ‘Arab Spring 2.0’)
3. Aligned leadership – the West is stronger in this discipline, helped along by long standing institutions like NATO, EU, etc. I don’t see similar institutions in the Arab world – at least I can’t recall cases in recent decades where they spoke and ACTED with one voice?
Offer immunity to both Bibi and Hamas – if above fails consider immunity. I’m strongly against it but if such a deal can pave the way for new leadership on both sides and peace perhaps the moral price is worth it? History is full of dictators ‘moving’ to new countries in order to avoid prosecution. It’s a fucked up solution but one that US might accept? Bibi won’t leave voluntarily but there’s increasing Israeli domestic concern that’s he’s jeopardising the whole US relationship… he will die of old age before he sets foot in any ICC court anyways so why not just put him on the next helicopter!? (if an Iranian refurbished one your wish might come true)

Good reflections. I definitely agree that the entire western hypocrisy is on such a dérouté that’s it’s very challenging to how they expect anyone to abide by their moral standards as they don’t have any when it comes to Palestine. I agree with the point that you need to hit these supporters of the ongoing genocide with any financial means. I think Turkey did the right thing when they went full ahead and stopped all trade with Israel, worth 9.5 billion USD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aONrlp_5Q-Q). Similar actions should be done towards US as they are trying to cling on to the hope of staying a super power, but it’s clearly a war they are losing with the rise of China as the financial super power that is expanding it’s foot print, by not looting but actually creating fair financial deals for trade of goods with the countries that have the minerals they want, not like US, that would carpet bomb a country and say it’s because someone killed 200 people, we had to do it in the name of democracy (and free oil). Just alone writing this, reminds me of what big devils US and UK are. Filthy liars… and gingers 🤣
