Netanyahu And His Genocide Denial

When Benjamin Netanyahu eventually dies and goes up to meet God, he is sure to be in for a shock!

God might initially forget all about the Israeli prime minister’s genocidal tendencies to the Palestinian people and ask him just about the horrors committed by his soldiers in Gaza.

I know many will at this point say “what the hell is this writer talking about” but this situation is so bad, catastrophic that one is bound to think that way because of the Israeli genocidal, criminal stubbornness and world failure to act.

Today, Netanyahu, struts as if he is cock-of-the-hoop, made so by the way, by American money and defense, but will he be able to stand and conjure what is in wait for him, either on the ground of Gaza and above in the celestial world. So. make most of your genocidal traits!

Today the pace-maker-attached-to-his-heart 75-year atrocious man is on a crusade to kill as many of the Gaza Palestinians as he can get way with. Having failed to get rid of Hamas and the Palestinian resistance fighters who are in a full-fighting mood, he is doing the next best thing which is to starve and kill its women and children, its old and infirm while looks into the camera with vanity.

The world will remember Gaza as the worst documented genocide under the guise of the west, Arab countries and Muslim states. It will be remembered as the genocide when the world stood shamefully still in the face of the Israeli army who continued to slaughter and starve its people and scorch its earth.

When Netanyahu meets God – and this is doubtful because the Maker refuses to meet those whose hands are blood-laden with murder – the Israeli Prime Minister, though this wouldn’t be the time for fame and pageantry – he will plead that the Muslim politicians never even tried to stop him on an earth thought-to-be designed for murderous Israelis. They just stood still and hoped for the best.

This of course wouldn’t be an excuse.

Netanyahu and his leading men of extremists have orchestrated this genocide to the hilt and under the nose of everyone. From the beginning their army drove into Gaza and imposed an even fiercer regime leading to the starvation of its people who are today dropping off en masse.

Today people are dying in front of the cameras, on punctured roads, in front of hospital and destroyed homes, they are shot and killed by Israeli snipers while running towards food distribution centers set up by Americans who don’t know half of the story and clouded by the Israeli narrative.

Netanyahu is claiming there is no genocide and there is no starvation but hospitals speak of skeletons and emaciated bodies taking their last breaths and final shrieks before their souls leave their down-trodden bodies. No matter how one tries to hide this starvation genocide, it’s there documented in cyberspace, on social media, on the news and through our veins – in the veins of every Jew, Israeli, Arab, Muslim and westerners even Netanyahu himself who is on a warpath blinded by hate, evil and murder.

You can’t run away from it, no one can. To claim it was Netanyahu, Itamar Ben Gavir and Bezel Smotrich who should rot in hell, is not good enough for all are involved in this genocide, starvation and famine and to say otherwise is degenerate and feeble.

Today the Nazi holocaust is being repeated with different actors. The Jews and Israelis have taken the role of the slave-masters with the Palestinians the victims who have become a travesty of justice for a heinous deep-seated problem involving the Jews, Adolf Hitler and the West.

But too late to think of that for the world stood silent for too long while Gaza was destroyed brick-by-brick and turned into rubble that would literally take years and years to remove and rebuild. The tonnage of wreckage is mind-boggling, those civilians killed at the tab of a button is horrendous.

The world watches by and occasionally condemns in a shy way, Arabs do likewise while Muslims are in-between. Stopping Netanyahu requires guts, not empty words spoken in a hollowed world with no action taken.

Meanwhile God watches on to see what man will do to each other next and how the murder cycle unfolds. Can the atrocities be stopped by the earthly hand?

The Chinese Fortune Cookie and The “Thucydides Trap”! A View From Amman

By Saleem Ayoub Quna

Nearly 2000 years ago, there lived a prosperous Empire in ‘Athens’ which dominated the whole region of ancient Greece, along the hundreds of islands in the Aegean Sea. It was situated approximately 200 kilometers away from another military strong city, an empire called ‘Sparta’.

The advisors of the Emperor of Athens started warning their leadership of the growing power of this relatively distant neighbor, which could pose an imminent threat to its supremacy, and even to the existence of their empire in Athens as well.

In one of the ancient Greek ‘think-tanks’ in Athens also, lived a general and philosopher, who was monitoring the evolution of relations between the two city states. His name was ‘Thucydides’. He foresaw disaster and advised his fellow Athenians to resist the temptation to go after the Spartans, in order to quell the possibility that their power might expand and grow bigger in the region, and threaten and challenge the actual supremacy of Athens.

He begged them not to fall to such an illusionary trap. Sparta seemingly was minding its own business and was not fully aware of Athens’ fears and phobia of the unknown.

‘Thucydides’ kept warning his own people about such eventuality, but to no avail. The war finally broke out and it was called the “Peloponnesian war” that lasted for nearly three decades. Its endgame was a humiliating defeat for Athens, and a decisive victory for Sparta.

In the first decade of this century, a certain Graham Allison, a professor of political science at Harvard School for International Studies, was studying and analyzing this pattern of hostile relations between nations, built on suspicion and mistrust.

Out of 16 wars in the world, big and small, he found out, 12 wars erupted between nations, precisely because of, not similar, but identical circumstances, where a certain nation would fear the rising power and influence of another nation, and decides to go to war to eliminate this imaginary threat, so the former would keep its clout and domination.

While studying and tracking back cases of war from modern times such as WWI and WWII and other older conflicts, and when he reached the “Peloponnesian War, 431-404 BC” in Greece, he came up with a simple conclusion that causes such wars between nations, which is the fear of a nation of another nation’s power and ill-intentions! And he brilliantly dubs it the “Thucydides Trap” thus emulating the first experienced and documented war of this kind in ancient Greece, nearly 2000 years ago!

Now we come back to our present day and astonishingly hear Chinese President Xi Jinping warning his powerful visitor, US President Trump, and himself not to submit to the “Thucydides Trap” which many nations in the past did!

What is also amazing in this regard, is first, that the Chinese leader alluded to that ancient lesson which happened in Greece that lies thousands of miles away from China, and second, is how the smart and knowledgeable Xi Jinping’s speech writers, were as they inserted Graham Allison’s most famous political coinage in connection with today’s issues of war and peace!

In conclusion, I would like to list two questions and one footnote:

Does not the name “Thucydides” phonetically rhyme with the word “suicide”, especially if you could listen to its pronunciation in Greek!

Does not the “War of choice” launched against Iran on the pretext that it is posing a threat to Israel, squarely fall under the category of “Thucydides Trap” wars?

When Sparta won the war against Athens, it was significantly due to Persian support against Athens, bearing in mind that the Persians were the forefathers of present-day Iranians!

Oslo: Strangling The Dove

Dr Khairi Janbek

By Dr Khairi Janbek

When we do a recap of the Oslo Agreements, they were a series of accords between Israel and the PLO signed in 1993. It was a process meant to lead to a permanent settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict within five year, including decisions on borders, refugees, security, Jerusalem and settlements.

But right from the start, voices were divided over the process, while for others, the whole idea had a built-in mechanism for failure from the start. The Palestinians started seeing that the Oslo Agreements were neither ending the establishment of Israeli settlements nor the end to occupation, while for the Israelis it didn’t seem to end their security concerns.

Indeed, it is pointless to think which comes first, the chicken or the egg, because two different fears and logistics persisted from the start. But also, it is important to think about the circumstances which brought about the idea of launching the process, and which did put the PLO in a tough position for being perceived as supporting the wrong side which lost; Iraq.

The room for manoeuvre for the late Yasser Arafat was very tight as he stood to lose the legitimacy of the PLO.

What one is trying to say is that, right from the start, outside official circles, many on the Palestinian side were against Oslo probably as many as was the case on the Israeli side.

The gradual erosion of Oslo mainly through the continued Israeli actions kept feeding extremism on both sides. Nevertheless, the concept was not revoked by any Israeli government because of its effect on Arab public opinion, pressure which is likely to block any peace initiative. Moreover, the international atmosphere was not conducive for such an initiative.

Having said that, one cannot claim that the international atmosphere is currently more indifferent to the abrogation of the Oslo, rather Israel seems to have more leeway in undertaking unilateral actions with more impunity.

Of course, it is not international law that can be counted on in this respect but rather, at least for the time being Donald Trump’s disapproval of the idea of annexing the West Bank by Israel. This is despite the fact that all the Israeli actions of dividing the West Bank from north to south first and currently from west to east, goes unnoticed. But the important thing has been till now, and don’t say the magic word, end of Oslo.

However, the recent development is that Israeli political parties, the partners in Netanyahu’s government are all pushing openly, for the abrogation of the Oslo agreements and cancelling out all the Israeli obligations towards it.

One can only say such an open declaration is a matter of principle by the Israeli government, because the changes on the ground are there for all to see. One supposes all parties are playing for time to see the end of the Palestinian national aspirations.
