As I have recently published in ThePrint, in an article entitled: “India and Israel are forever connected – We are ancestrally the same!” where I stated, “What if we look at Om and turn it sideways?” Om and Allah are identical!
What if the Shiva Lingam and the Black Stone in Mecca are connected?
In my article, I also proved Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism have much in common!
We know Jesus Christ was born a Jew! We know he was Christian, which is self-evident!
Christ comes from the Greek word ‘Christos’, which means “the anointed one”. And the word ‘Krishna’ in Greek is the same as ‘Christos’. A colloquial Bengali rendering of Krishna is `Kristo’, which is the same as the Spanish for Christ — ‘Cristo’.
What if they are the same stories? Would this not unite us all!
But then a friend started asking me questions on the actual Jewish and Palestinian origins of Gaza! How can we end the conflicts? Maybe we need to study our history in the region!
The US Solution from 2003! The US offered a reward of $25m (£15m) for information that would lead to the capture of Saddam Hussein or proved that he is dead. The US also offered $15m for information that would lead to the capture of either of the former Iraqi dictator’s sons, Uday and Qusay.
The Result! They were captured, in Saddam Hussein, and killed almost immediately, in his sons!
According to the BBC, The US created a set of 55 playing cards, issued in 2003 and depicting “the most-wanted members of the former Iraqi regime”, which in retrospect now has undoubtedly been one of the most visible reward campaigns.
Cards were mostly senior members of the Iraqi Baath Party or Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) – with rewards for help in catching many of the remaining fugitives.
Two of the first men to be caught were the aces of Clubs and Hearts, Saddam’s sons Qusay and Uday Hussein – who were valued at $15m each. They were killed in a villa in Mosul on 22 July 2003. The informant who provided information that led to their hideout was given the largest US bounty payment to date, a total of $30m.
In 2004, the BBC’s Panorama program revealed that the hiding place of the ousted Iraqi leader was given away by a relative – Mohammed Ibrahim Omar al-Musslit.
According to the BBC, the biggest success of America’s Rewards for Justice program – was the capture of Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, who masterminded the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York City, which killed six and wounded more than 1,000.
Yousef was eventually captured in Pakistan, as in February 1995, an informant went to the US Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, and provided information leading to Yousef’s whereabouts. He was then extradited to the US and is now in prison in Colorado.
The informant was reportedly paid $2m.
The State Department’s Rewards for Justice program had also offered a $25 million reward for Osama bin Laden. The Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association contributed $2 million more, for a total of $27 million.
The Solution:
As of December 2023, the Israeli Government has placed a bounty of $200,000 on the head of Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas’s military brigade in Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest city. In December 2023, Israel also said it would place a bounty of $400,000 on Sinwar, a Hamas leader!
A first step, but if the US were to make it 10X, at $2M to $4M for each Hamas leader captured, this conflict would end almost immediately!
Would this not change the world order?
