Israeli genocide and regional posturing

My initial reaction to Hamas attacks on 7 October was that it had pooped the party of Arabs and their indebted subsidiary states. Iran and KSA’s recently found love was also part of the scheme except that Iran would continue to play US’ scarecrow in the region. They were all set to accept Israel and everybody would’ve lived happily ever after but Hamas had other ideas. All the hypotheses on who supported Hamas and why - all proved incorrect. They were up against the wall and they retaliated rather surprised Israel. The myth of IDF and Mossad’s invincibility got busted. To satiate their wounded false pride, they are hellbent on annihilation of Gazans. May Allah protect them. Ameen

Most difficult thing to reconcile with is hypocrisy at all levels. It is the epitome of hypocrisy that US vetoed Brazilian resolution in UN SC for humanitarian pause in ongoing brutal genocide of Palestinians on the pretext that the text did not emphasise on Israel’s right to self defence. Mother of hypocrisy and a matter of utter shame is that the resolution was tabled by a Christian country.

Note that 1030 Palestinian children have been killed by Israel as we speak. Among 70% killed were children, women and elderly. The silence of Muslims is deafening. It is happening because the world is letting it happen. How the international establishment led by US is playing its cards and how regional pimps are going about their business is important to understand.

Today 18 Oct, Joe Biden in an extraordinary trip to Israel personally travelled to give Netanyahu the warning about crossing the red line in Gaza. It also coincides with the criminal Israeli act of attacking the hospital and murdering 500+ civilians which inflamed ordinary Muslims to the extent that Washington had to instruct its whores amongst the Arab regimes to openly criticise Israel and put it under pressure to save face. Washington also instructed Jordan to cancel the summit meeting with Biden, Mahmoud Abbas and Sisi of Egypt to coordinate the response to Netanyahu. This in itself was a warning to Netanyahu as well as face saving for the regimes to prevent domestic instability. 

After the meeting with Biden, Israel announced that humanitarian aid would be allowed through the Rafah crossing in Egypt and to South Gaza only. With Sisi holding firm on closing the border so that Netanyahu is unable to change the facts on the ground and demolish the two state solution. Biden said after meeting Israel’s cabinet: “The people of Gaza need food, water, medicine, shelter.” 

As for the paper tiger and Iran, despite the warning of a “few hours” and even after the attack on the hospital, it did not act because it did not receive the green light from Washington. Hence, instead of Hezbollah engaging militarily, they decided to hold “demonstrations” against Israel in Beirut. Yet, without any honour or dignity with regards to its empty rhetoric and broken promises of action, it continued to sabre rattle declaring today a “hard revenge”, two days after its “hours “ warning, because like the Arab regimes, it is nothing but a whore of Washington. 

However, the situation remains fluid and Washington remains committed to removing Netanyahu and keeping the pressure on him with regards to Iran and regional escalation as well as internal rupture. Hence, there was a demonstration in Tel Aviv calling for Netanyahu’s resignation to coincide with Biden’s visit. 

Washington is worried about Netanyahu’s actions which will destabilise the Middle East. Biden’s personal trip represents the gravity of the situation for Washington. As for the Arab and other Muslim regimes which have relations and treaties with Israel, not a single one has expelled any Israeli ambassadors or withdrawn their own from Israel. This in itself is proof of their treachery and support for Israel’s security. Let’s not be fooled by their empty statements when they keep their militaries from unleashing hell on Israel, the weakness and myth of which has been exploded by a tiny non state entity with limited military hardware whilst in a state of siege. Whilst the militaries in the Arab and Muslim world clean their weapons whilst watching the televised genocide. 

We will be asked on the Day about our actions on this day. We shall be losers of highest degree because we won’t have answers.

Only Allah knows the whole Truth
