With Israel starting the official invasion of Palestine, we’ve been itching to write about all that is wrong, stupid, amateurish and possibly right about this war. Several things come to mind when you read the newspaper or see the media discuss the role played by Hamas, Palestine, Israel, the United States, Europe and the Arab Nations. Before we delve into the discussion of what really should happen or has happened, we would like to take a moment to question the motives of Western media and to question the general level of intelligence of those reporting.
Before Israel launched its offensive or invasion, apparently Hamas was successfully firing 70-80 rockets on a daily basis. What shocks us is that after firing 80 rockets, Hamas is able to destroy one building and kill one person, whereas with one Israeli offensive, tens of hundreds of people are destroyed. We are, therefore, forced to adopt one of two options: The Israeli’s are lying, which is highly likely given the nation’s moral character (to gain sympathy), or two, Hamas really is a group of silly motherfuckers who don’t think that the accuracy (or lack thereof) of their rockets only reflects on their lack of military training and abilities. The truth is, that both scenarios are highly likely, but the fact that Western media, which is a proponent of western, pro Israeli murder by means of western governments’ support of Israel, fails to bring to light issues as simple as this. Having read tons of articles in London newspapers, we have yet to come across any that discuss what really happens with the 80 rockets that Hamas fires on a daily basis and kill one person. The amount of reported rockets, may, therefore, be highly exaggerated.
The way Israel has always asked the world for sympathy because of Hitler’s blunder that was the holocaust can be likened to John McCain’s request to the American people for sympathy during the US election: i.e., “I got fucked many years ago, so please, side with me.” The difference, however, is that Israel has marketed itself far better than John McCain did, and that’s saying something; it is also precisely the reason that Arab nations over the last week have failed to accomplish anything.
It is no secret that Israel had setup an information directorate nine months ago, the goal of which was to market the agendas and position of Israel and to have the world see a certain picture before such an offensive was launched. The Guardian in London painted a very good picture of this creative advertising technique employed by the Israeli Parliament, and it has clearly paid off.
What’s more to notice is that during the last month of the end of the Bush regime, the Taliban offensive that was launched with joint US-British forces has succeeded, apparently weakening the Taliban hold in Afghanistan. The Israel attack is the second major offensive against so called Muslim extremists or terrorists that the George Bush has supported on his way out, and it can be seen as a clear signal by the Islamic World of the kind hatred Bush may personally hold for Muslims. If that is, infact the case, it sad, at best.
We could go on and on writing about how the US classification of Hamas, Hezbollah and Taliban as terrorists is wrong. In the Gaza war, the terrorist is clearly Israel, and the fact that the US and Arab nations alike have looked the other way is a clear signal of US discrimination and Arabs having sold their souls for US dollars. However, it comes as no surprise. May we take this moment to make Americans realize that the Taliban were a creation of the United States, funded with American tax dollars, and armed with Israeli weapons. Such is the state of American foreign policy and the world’s ignorance. But it’s no surprise then, that the US has backed Israel. American politics is a victim of the so called free economy, which means the politicians firmly believe that when they are in power, they should take and make as much money as they can. That’s capitalism, isn’t it: the ability to get what you can when you can; survival of the fittest.
It may be clear from the reading so far that we don’t support Israel’s actions. That’s no surprise, a lot of people across the world don’t. If you look at the US meter of measurement of terrorism, Israel officially qualifies as a terrorist nation, and let us all be in agreement there. However, if you have noted from this whole article so far, we have yet to use the world Jew. The reason, flat out, is that we don’t beleive, as should Muslims across the world, that it has come down to a battle between Judaism and Islam. If that were the case, Islam would win by sheer manpower (if, ofcourse, Muslims could ever unite). Of course, this is our opinion.
We’re still not very clear on who this is a war against: Islam or Palestinians. Hamas certainly is not the target here, and we refuse to believe when Israel says that Hamas is, just like it claimed Hezbollah was the target in Lebanon. Those are lies, and Israelis know it, but as we’ve seen from the media and behavior of Israeli PMs in the past, lying is a chronic problem amongst Israeli Politics. Well, okay, we’re a little biased. It’s a global political problem, but it’s our blog, so whatever we say goes here.
However, if you take a step back and look at the global reaction amongst not national and political leaders, but the people, Jews, Christians and Muslims alike have taken to the streets to protest against the oppression of Israel in Palestine. We would, therefore, urge Muslims all over the world to see that this is a war of nations and not a war of religions. Not yet. Maybe that’s what the Israeli Information Directorate has been trying to market and we’ve bought into it. But if you do believe that this is a war of religions, I suspects Jews all over the world, and all of them, would be pro Israel invading Palestine. But that is not the case and is, therefore, something that all Muslims must respect.
The problem, however, is that Arab and Muslim leaders all over the world have failed to make this distinction, which is why they have failed to take action. If Saudi Arabia or Syria were to say for one minute that is not a war of religions but a flat out national invasion, once like Russia was accused of when South Otessia was in question, they may be able to gain ground to legitimately enter a path of aggressive negotiations with Israelis and Americans. Hell, with a thought out, educational stance like that, the Arab world could solicit the help of Russia, which will more than shut up Bush and Boner in America alike. But, alas, the Arab leaders lack the sense, sensibility and the education devise an intellectually powerful plan to take on the mightly wit of the Israelis. Instead, they are hosting summits and sessions while Palestine gets destroyed.
It would be a matter of common sense for them state that this is not a war of religions but a war of nations, and in the 21st centry, nations do not invade. It is unacceptable. If Arabs cannot take that stance, we’re not so sure they will have the option negotiation. They are left with 2 options in the event that they let this become a war of religions: Fight Israel and America, or see millions of Muslims die at the hands of Jews. It’s murder, committed by the Jews, assisted by the Americans, allowed by the Arabs and witnessed by the world.
