Native Palestinians deserve sympathy and support in these grievous times. The latest reports talk of over fifty thousand casualties and massive destruction of infrastructure in Gaza.
Could this tragedy have been avoided?
Palestinians partnering with Terrorist Organisations has led to disaster after disaster.
Terrorist Organisation HAMAS used GAZA strip as a launching pad to attack Israel on 07 October 2023, leading to a catastrophic war in Gaza.
This was the result of military operations by Israel to free the more than two hundred and fifty hostages taken by the terrorist organisation HAMAS, entrenched in GAZA.
The hypocrisy of leaders in the Muslim world and the phantasies of endless pleasures in a nonexistent world spun by Mullahs have ruined Gaza and Palestinians repeatedly.
History of West Asia, since 1948 is witness to the defeat and capitulation of successive governments in Egypt and Arabia, to the forces of Israel.
Afraid to directly confront a strong Israel, the Muslim world has conspired to utilize terrorist organisations, HAMAS in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon , Boko Haram in Africa, JeM and a dozen more in Pakistan, Malaysia, and Indonesia to undertake the dirty and risky task of deliberately provoking Isreal.
‘Palestinian cause’ is nothing more than diversionary tactics by unpopular regimes in the Muslim world.
Absence of individual freedoms, denial of basic human rights, has led to many uprisings against the corrupt regimes in the Arab world. The ‘Arab Spring’ was crushed, with hundreds thrown in to prisons.
Pakistan is another Muslim country that talks of Palestinian rights even while attempting to stifle any protest in Baluchistan and has used armed helicopters against its own people, Baloch in Baluchistan and Pashtuns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Peace accords sabotaged
Palestinians are being manipulated and not being allowed to settle down peacefully by fellow Arab Nations and the Islamic world.
HAMAS a terrorist organisation, governing Gaza, attacked Israel on Oct 07, 2023, by Land, sea, and air, killed more than a thousand Israelites and took two hundred and fifty-one civilians, men , women, and children as hostages.
Israel initially tried negotiating with HAMAS for the release of hostages.
An arrogant Nasrallah and HAMAS expected Israel to buckle under.
Netanyahu’s Israel had learned the hard way, that HAMAS was hateful of Jews, jealous of the prosperity of Israel, and underestimated the revulsion it had caused, by killing over a thousand Jews and taking hostage of two hundred more.
There was no way the Israelis were going to submit to the extortion, blackmails and threats by HAMAS where the safety of Israeli hostages were concerned
Faced with an arrogant HAMAS Isreal retaliated in the only manner available to it. Military action. Isreal set the IDF to rescue the hostages from areas in Gaza where the HAMAS had held them captive.
More than 15 months had to pass before HAMAS, the terrorist organization, supported by Iran and other Muslim countries, agreed to release the surviving hostages, men , women, and children. The release of hostages is not yet completed.
Should HAMAS renegade on the negotiated terms to release the hostages, Gazans who have partnered HAMAS should be prepared for worse times to follow.
Gazans & Palestinians : naive or just brainwashed?
Residents of Gaza strip had elected HAMAS to rule over them and were aware of the labyrinthian underground tunnels made with boring machines (Chinese?) , and munition dumps. They were aware that schools and hospitals and residential areas were being used extensively by HAMAS for launching rocket attacks against Israeli homes.
They cheered for HAMAS fighters when Israeli hostages were paraded.
Gazans were surely aware that Israel would react with full force and more to rescue the hostages and defend itself. Or did they think they could get away with it?
However, cries of victimhood started to surface when Israeli forces took the offensive to free the hostages held captive in Gaza.
Muslim nations shed crocodile tears for ‘Palestinian Cause’.
But no Muslim nation including Egypt, Iran and Türkiye are willing to accept any more Palestinian refugees. Hosting Palestinians is inviting problems.
The narrow escape of King Hussien of Jordan from Palestinians take over, in 1978 was only possible with the ruthless massacre of more than ten thousand armed Palestinian refugees by a contingent of Pakistani army under Brig Zia Ul Haq, (later General and President of Pakistan).
The ruination of Lebanon, sucked into Israel Palestinian wars was the direct result of the presence of over 400,000 Palestinian refugees who were completely brainwashed and politicised by the arrival of PLO and fighters from Jordan. Today Lebanon lies in ruins, attracting military action by Isreal for harbouring Hezbollah, and Syrian forces.
Worse Palestinians, egged on by other Muslim countries, consider those who blow up school buses, take civilian hostages, indulge in terrorist activities as heroes.
India
The Hostage situation of the Israeli type is not new to India.
India has buckled under blackmail threats repeatedly , since the hostage taking of Rubaiyat Sayeed by JK Liberation Front of Yasin Malik.
More than one hijacking of flights of Indian airlines has taken place. Each time the government of India not only knelt but even gifted the criminals.
The list is endless.
Palestinians have allowed themselves to be fooled and trapped by Terrorist organisations. The result is Catastrophe.
Neighbour Pakistan has descended to the level of a country run by terrorist organisations. The result is there for all to see.
Neighbour Bangladesh ruled by Jamaa e Islami and sliding rapidly to chaos.
Some major political parties in India have demonstrated sympathy and support for terrorist organisations and criminals. Add, the failure of the Indian criminal Justice system. Criminals roam free while victims cower in fear. This is already showing in people applauding vigilantes, and encounters.
Many fear if there is a change of government , and Congress returns, then what?
India cannot let down its guard. India cannot afford to be a soft state.
