Apart from bloodshed, there is dubiety about what is happening in the land of Prophets.
First of all, for my countrymen, this is not 313 against 1000 (Badr), not a Crusade, no Third Temple attempt, nothing remotely religious, motivated by theology or ideologically driven. Israel is not even controlled by Jew rather Zionists run the show there. Creation and sustenance of Israel is continuation of Western Imperialism in the name of religion.Traditionally, Jew were treated well by Muslim states starting from Umar RA to Salauddin to Muslim Medieval Spain. Some of the Orthodox Jew across the world are averse to state of Israel. So this conflict in Middle East is by no means a religious war. Those social media warriors celebrating victory and sharing pictures of Israeli flag under a Mujahid’s boot, please take a break. Try and get boots off your own necks first. Besides, think of the massive Israeli retaliation and life losses inflicted by now. What are we celebrating?
Undoubtedly, what Hamas did on last Saturday (07 October 2023) was Israel’s Pear Harbour, 9/11 or might be 9 May, who knows!
Many theories circulating on this mercurial affair.
1. Yom Kippur 2.0 - Hamas surprise attack was organic. 2.3 Million Gazans had enough of eternal siege and they retaliated. Hamas said attack was retribution of recent Al Aqsa desecration and ongoing siege of Gaza. Logic of siege makes sense but secret preparation of an operation of this scale takes months and immense logistical support/cost. How could Hamas achieve this capability to surprise Israel while 365 sq km of Gaza had been under ‘open air siege’ for the past 18 years? Nothing goes in or out without Israel’s permission or knowledge.They say Israeli Mossad knows when Hamas leaders leave their beds to attend washrooms inside their homes. Did Iran help them? Why would it help non-Shia militants who have roots in Muslim Brotherhood when they are already nurturing Hizbollah in Lebanon. Did they get help from Egypt? Egypt has sealed south of Gaza much tighter than IDF in north and east.
2. Israel allowed it to happen. Who knows it is becoming a fashion among the states to allow people to cross certain limits and then break the hell loose on them. Israel thrives on conflict and it was running out of reasons to survive. Despicable Netanyahu had lost popular support both home and in US, so he needed to become relevant. He took help from KSA/ Iran (after their recently improved relations) both of whom summoned Hamas and Hizbollah leaders to their respective capitals. In August, KSA also asked its citizens to leave Lebanon without stating any cause. Hence, making Hamas attacks a reason, Netanyahu quashes the resistance and KSA jumps in to resolve the issue. Both strengthen the grip on the region. This theory is flawed. What about Israeli army and its deep state being the best in the world? Or is it the case that the myth of best armies and their int agencies is also being busted. Because if these attacks took place due to intelligence failure and sheer complacency/ negligence of IDF then what have they been doing with billions of dollars of US military aid - precisely USD 260 Billion from 1946-2023. Nonetheless, every successful operation by opposing forces at any soil is firstly an int failure and secondly slow reaction by the forces on ground. Or is it also becoming a fashion among the ‘best armies’ to accept billions of dollars in aid and not accept any mistake whatsoever. Anyway, Israeli response will be brutal and destructive but where will it end? Will there be boots on ground? After decimating Gaza, are they going to take the war to Iran? Again unlikely.
3. Disgusting Netanyahu getting way out of his socks and needed to be checked by US. He was deviating from Abraham Accord and developed misguided notions due to regional support from KSA & UAE. Just last month, while addressing UN, irritable Netanyahu held up a map of 'The New Middle East' without Palestine. He was going off limits on many counts and needed a lesson or two. May be his intransigencies on Two State solution could have triggered US reprisal in Hamas attacks. Is this just an attempt to cut ever expanding Netanyahu to size? But this theory also needs lots of substance to make better appeal.
These hypothesis are not final but scribe’s own conclusions from closely monitoring the situation. Because, whatever way you look at it, the end state is not clear however, madness of this magnitude could not result from random acts.
Whatever you do, don’t listen to mainstream media of any country including own. They are all under the influence of respective establishments. They can’t tell the truth by default. Vloggers are simply sensationalists who need clicks to generate money, so no substance there either. Al Jazeera is doing alright because Qataris feel left out of Middle East’s big game. So out of vengeance, they are not only supporting Palestinian cause but reporting the war correctly. But they too have ulterior political motives and nothing religious or ideological. RT may also show the flip side of the coin for west’s open support of Ukrainian against Russia. But if you stumble into CNN, you will see Israeli woes presented lot worse than Palestinian calamities. Such is the reality that nothing is real.
For the Muslim world, is there a Muslim world? I guess not. Muslims are ruled by slaves of western establishment across the globe. So it’s pointless to bring them in or criticise toothless OIC.
One thing is for sure that the matter is not as simple as appears.
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
