Ghaza: A Karbala of Modern Era II

(Dr Syed Mehboob, Karachi)

The crimes committed against humanity by Israel are unforgettable and unforgivable. It has definitely has to pay its price. Allah Subhana hu Taala will never forgive Israel and its supporters. Ghaza’s innocent children rouse the conscious of the world’s peace-loving people. Common people of Muslim Ummah about 1.75 billion around the world, are now one voice to condemn Israel and they want to fight against them. Muslim rulers are reluctant, hesitant and undecisive. There is a need of immediately withdrawal of diplomatic relations with Israel.
Ghaza’s one-month destruction is more than four years collective destruction in Syria. Nature has started punishing Isreal, world opinion is mostly turned against it. Economic loss of Isreal is much more than it expected. In sixteen years Isreal fought four battles against Palestine. The total loss of Palestine in economic term is US$ 5 billion in sixteen years while Israeli loss in just one month is more than US$ 51 billion. Isreal has been pushed back sixteen years by its brutality, inhumane war. Its economy is now at 2005 level. S & P has reported Israel’s rating as negative. Israeli economic growth declined from 3.5% to 2.3% and if this battle continued till December it will further decline to 1.1%. Isreal lost 10% of its GDP in one month and is losing 1.5 to 2.00 billion US dollars per day. Economic cost of killing one Palestinian is US$ 5 million. More than 33% of Israeli flights have been cancelled. There were about 3,000 flights per month which now has been declined to 1,700 per month. All schools, colleges, universities and offices are closed. Palestinians are very tough they are bearing unemployment for the several years but now Israelis having to face unemployment. Israel called 300,000 reserve force for battle in emergency. These reserve soldiers were engaged in economic activities and now they are busy in war. There were 15,000 Palestinians who were working in Isreal. They were expelled. Isreal is facing labour shortage. Israeli bonds also lost their attraction. Israeli stock marker suffered a huge loss. Israeli currency has been depreciated by 8%. More than 100,000 Israelis applied for immigration. It is strange that despite so many deaths and destruction none of Palestinian applied for immigration.
Although Israel is apparently winning this war but those who have firm believe in Allah they know very well that Israel is losing. It has registered its name in history the most tyrant, barbaric, inhuman, draconian nation. This Israel war further will sink Isreal, USA and European nations. Ukraine war already sank European economy. USA, UK, France, Germany and India played very bad role in this conflict while comparatively China and Russia played a better role and called for immediate cease fire. Iran and Turkiye were very clear in their stance.
The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) strongly condemned Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian people in the Ghaza strip killing and wounding thousands of innocent people including large number of children, women and elderly people, destroying residential buildings, schools and hospitals, masjids, churches and United nations’facilities. Israel’s inhumane action like water and power outages and continued deliberate killings in West bank cities in conjunction with the repeated attacks on the Blessed Masjid e Al Aqsa. The OIC considered this brutal aggression, against the Palestinian people blatant international and humanitarian law violation and war crime. The OIC held Isreal, the occupying power, fully responsible for the repercussions of the continuation of this aggression, called, at the same time, for the international community to intervene urgently to force Isreal, the occupying power to stop its ongoing attacks against the Palestinian people immediately, and to ensure the opening of humanitarian corridors to facilitate the entry of medicines and food supplies and basic needs to the Ghaza Strip.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israeli action as genocide and demanded trial of Isreal in International court of Justice on charges of serious war crimes and genocide of Palestinians. Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani questioned for how long the international community will treat Israel as if it is above international law. He questioned from international community and said,” The international world remains immune in front of all these scenes. Who could have imagined that hospitals could be publicly shelled in the 21st century?”. Iran repeatedly warning that the scope of war will expand if Israel does not stop its attacks, President Ebrahim Raisi also attended the meeting in Riyadh, marking the first visit by an Iranian president in eleven years. He stressed bombing on Ghaza should be stopped immediately. He also stressed that, “Islamic governments should designate the army of the occupying and aggressor regime Israel as a terrorist organization. He also said that Washington is supporting Israel in the United Nations and vetoes resolutions that prevent the killing of Palestinians.
When we look back at the history it tells us the heinous crimes of Zionists with connivance of the British who hatched the historical conspiracy giving Palestinian land to European Zionists. Palestine was ruled by Muslims since the period of Hazrat Syedena Umer Farooq (May Allah be Pleased with him), the second caliph of Muslims. There was a short break of 90 years when crusaders attacked and captured Palestine and the world witnessed a blood bath. Again, Salahud din Ayubi took back Palestine from Crusaders and throughout the Muslims period from Hazrat Umer to 1947 there was complete harmony among Muslims and Arab Jews. Till 1900 there were only 3% Arab Jews in Palestine and 97% Arab Muslims and there was no single incident of civil war or any massacre. It is quite clear that Hazrat Umer’s period of conquest of Jerusalem in 637 to 1099 Crusade War, it is a period of 462 years there was a complete harmony and again from 1187 when Salahuddin conquered Jerusalem till 1947 a period of 760 years and cumulative one thousand two hundred- and twenty two years Muslim rule there was peace and no massacre, no civil war between Muslims and Jews. Then British Zionist Balfour and United Nations which was newly born given 55% of Palestinian land to European Zionists and 45% land to Palestinians. This was even gross violation of United Nations own constitution which clearly states that the right of self determination shall not be taken away from people and stressed the need to get rid of colonization. Since than its occupation Israel continued the policy of pre-planned organized genocide and massacre of innocent Palestinian people. They captured 80% Palestinian land and attacked on 450 villages killed peasants and their families on mass scale. In one village, they killed 100 people and thrown their dead bodies in wells.
Ilan Pappe is an Israel born historian and professor at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom. He was serving at Ben Gurion University in Israel and because of his independent research intelligence agencies caused him much agony and forced him to leave the country. He documented and mentioned every single massacre of Palestinians by Israeli forces and mentioned in his book, “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” published in 2006. I am going to study The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and soon will share the outcome of my study with my readers. He mentioned that one million Palestinians left their land in 1948 and since than millions other and now about 7 million Palestinians live abroad. Israeli massacre, genocide of innocent Palestinians is question mark for those countries who claim to be the champions of human rights. History will not forgive them.
