"ISRAEL PALESTINE CONFLICT - A SOLUTION"


                                   "ISRAEL PALESTINE CONFLICT - A SOLUTION"

Israel have been in war with Palestine for nearly 11 days. Both of them firing rockets each other leading death and destruction.
                              Some may argue, based on ethnicity, that Israel is right on its part, whereas some may chose to go by the norms of the current world order to emphasise on humanity and resolve, based on compromise. Some may put forward a 'two nation theory' and very few for a 'single nation theory' too.. I can say, even if you think for a 'three nation theory', none of the single or two nation theory will be possible of feasible not only now, ever. 


• Because of Britain, in 1948, UN have divided Palestine between the Jews & Arabs in 55% & 45% respectively. So, dividing Palestine, in such a nearly inequal proportions, agreed by both, by itself shows there is a preference or natural right bestowed upon the Jews, because of their orgin. For Jews, their race & nation both are the same, whereas for Palestinians, they are Arab race, settled in Jewish land, at the time when Jews were spread out. So clearly, it is a tug between the 'native' & 'settled'

• After which, a 'scattered race', out of thirst for a permanent settlement, precisely established & recognised the 'State of Israel', which the Palestinians have failed to do at that time because of lack of resources. But instead of pushing for a statehood, Palestine did the worst mistake 

• Palestine went for an Arab coalition with Arab nations, and jointly invaded into Israel. But, Israel not only defended, chased back them, destroyed 600 palestinian villages & expelled 80% of palestinians (Arabs). I specifically mention Palestinians as Arabs because, once a territorial issue, was made an issue between races, by Palestine only at first

• During the 'Six day war' in 1967, Israel captured territories not only from Palestine, but also went upto Egypt's mount Sinai as well as till Syrian's Golan Heights

• After 1973's 'Yom Kippur war', the Arab states of Palestinians coalition started to realise that Israel will never back up, and it is a tough war & they almost accepted their failure with Israel, that they cannot win Israel at any time in history or future, as promised by God Almighty in the scriptures common to the 'Abrahamic Monotheism'. But, the tricky part is, eventhough the coalition Arab nations washed their hands off supporting Palestine, because they realised they can't win Israel, yet, a part of Palestinians (Hamas) doesn't realise that, till now, and resort to counter-violence against Israel always

• Hamas must understand that Israel will not giveup on holding to the land which they've held for years and Israel must understand that total surrender, annihilation, expelling or subjugation by Israel as it did before, is not at all possible now, with Hamas there to defend Palestine strongly. Therefore we can assume that, Israel can rightly, officially or diplomatically claim for their leftover territories of Palestine but not resort to violence, similarly, Hamas must not forget the racial claim of Jews, and at best save the consolidated palestine without violence.

• The aim of Israel must be to ask for what they rightfully claim, with proper substance diplomatically & that of Hamas must be a 'stop-loss strategy', 'consolidation of unclaimed Palestinian territories', and immediately 'get recognised' by nations and organizations.

• If Palestinians, does not agree with this, they must understand one thing. The core disputed area, Jerusalem, which houses the 'Al Aqsa' mosque, which Hamas is strong not to give to Israel, but Hamas should understand that Al Aqsa mentioned in Quran, which they claim to be theirs is actually "Solomon's Temple" which is given in Bible/Tora (Christian/Jewish) scriptures. And, Palestinians must also remember that, Quran itself says, to refer to 'the previous scriptures given before Quran'(Bible/Tora)., which clearly says that it is 'Solomon's Temple'. So, it is best that Palestinians follow these; 
- give up 'Al Aqsa' because it's not 'Al Aqsa' rather 'Solomon's Temple'; 
- consolidate the territories which are rightfully yours within Israel;
- recognise them once again as a state and join global organisations which recognise you; 


A SHORT PRESENTATION;

"Elected autocrats of the World" (2021)



                                         "ELECTED AUTOCRATS OF THE WORLD"



• Among the known democracies, the worst affected of them are U.S, Brazil & India. Interestingly, they are ruled by ring wing populists.


I). Donald Trump won the elections on populist fame and have gathered a huge fan following, which gives importance to race(white supremacy).
* Trump also started with giving a boost of energy to those white supremacists & it's youth organizations. But, the actual administration was fading and not in good terms with China and meddling with her always was the priority of Trump administration
* Trump surrounded himself with 'yes-men', prematurely declared the pandemic has gone and soft cornered himself or played victim, in the climax phase. (Like elections are rigged by Russia etc)
* Trump was rooted in evangelism and promoted huge and aggressive expansion of it's ideologies, in both social and economic aspects.
* Trump hated communists to the core.
* Trump discriminated against or demonised immigrants & black people, feeding the innocent & arrogance of white people.
* Trump downplayed the pandemic. He went on to say it was nothing harmful, no need to wear masks and all, but finally himself ended up wearing masks and testing himself. The huge deaths of people of US is due to the 'willing downplay' of virus during the first phase.
* Trump have attacked the values of constitution, democracy and democratic institutions & literally have attacked the constitution (Washington attack) itself, showing how much he hates them
* Democracy is always 'Self healing' in nature. Because finally the power lies in the hands of people. So, when people realised about him, the media started exposing him, the courts was against him and he was chased away by people's votes.
* So, Trump was against Black people, Communist & immigrants and was on side of evangelists, white people and capitalistic tendency, but he himself got the safest medicine and security in the globe, leaving people to die. 



II). Jair Bolsanaro, another right wing popular evangelist, who deliberately outplayed the entire pandemic, treating people as worthless as anyone in the world
* Bolsanaro came to power, claiming to be a person against criminals & the corrupt, but himself ending up to be the worst person to massacre huge people due to ignorance & arrogance
* Bolsanaro demonized the 'bandit' culture and communist tendency hugely
* Bolsanaro termed the pandemic was just a 'little cold/fever', and said 'real men won't worry about this' which boosted macho-man tendency and lead to huge deaths finally
* Bolsanaro even fired many public health officers, ministers and 'teased people who wore masks.' Like Trump, he also had a huge level of security and medicine facility, but left people to die in numbers.
* But now, Bolsanaro have been subjected to public investigation by Brazilian Senate. 



III). Narendra Modi, an ardent hindutuva promoter, an autocratic in the disguise of a 'chawkidhar'. He came to power, promising huge Himalayan numbers of employment to youngsters, 15lakhs to be deposited in every citizens accounts and bring back the black money in huge numbers to India, none of which have been kept, but it made the situation worse than before.
* Economy was better handled by the previous UPA regime, but after NDA assuming power, not promises being kept, but even the word 'GDP' have been thrown away from usage and economist are puzzled how come the minions of Modi claim their is a growing economy.
* The situation of poor, went worse, pushing huge people to poverty due to failed policies like 'Demonetisation' and 'GST implementation' which caused huge frictions till now with its federal states. 
* Compared to US and Brazil, India is differently worse, because it has already been hugely hit & partially dead economy, before pandemic itself. So, one can imagine, what will be the situation post pandemic.
* Modi have already played foul by his failed policies leading to huge economic failure, but distracts people by infusing nationalism to his minions.
* Modi have not rejected the seriousness of pandemic outright as Trump & Bolsanaro did, infact he nearly did well, to manage the pandemic in the first phase, or atleast he tried to. But, since he did not give ample time to make people ready for a 'national lockdown', migrants were suffered a huge exodus and was the greatest migrations after the independence migration.
* Modi unilaterally claimed that they have won the pandemic, with all the datas and statistics claiming the other, and his minions have took rallies and celebrated the successful massacre of people, also large scale elections coupled with religious processions and pilgrimages have triggered a second phase, that is more virulent than the total of the global virulence, ending up huge piles of bodies in crematorium, not enough spaces to bury, bodies were flouting in rivers, while Modi played with violin.
* Modi's policies advocated 'hindutuva' and made Muslims scapegoat terming them 'corona jihad' but infact it was the Yatras, Pooja and pilgrims in Ganga who have contributed to this successful spread. They celebrate and are happy of this.
* While Modi on one side Personalized, Centralised & safeguarded his powers in finance, social and all aspects, people die along with parliamentary procedures too.
* The final touch here is, Modi have charged the federal states with cost of vaccines which none of the other right wings have done, which shows the failure in revenue or tax collections even after increasing the tax rates and a claimed to be be successful GST regime, but the states been denied their fair share of GST everytime in its council, not giving their part of share also. Interestingly, centre have asked the state's to borrow, and makeup the fair share which must be given to states.
* Last but not the least is the vaccine policy. Huge levels of instructions by judiciary of asking the centre about its rationale in vaccine policy, no answers were given by center. The same India, have provided 'Universal vaccination programme' for a handful of number of diseases before in the UPA regime, completely 'free of cost'. But, the huge advertising by Modi's picture in vaccines and all, are for fixing prices for the vaccines which we deserve for free? More worst is, discrimination in that pricing too, Centre buys it for 300rs, whereas states buy for 600rs and privates for 800-1200rs, is gross looting and corruption on the part of government, even at time like this. 
* Like Trump & Bolsanaro, who are chased and ready to be chased, we can't think, Modi is ready to vacate the chair. He is manipulating the population, and trying for a rigged support base, based on upcoming 'delimitation exercise 2026'. (I've explained this point alone separately in another article). It all depends on the next census, next parliamentary elections(2024) and the most anticipated 'grand luxury corruption' of 'Central vista project' allotting 24K Lakh for it, when people die due to lack of vaccines on one side.

* RELATION BETWEEN 7 GIFTS WITH BEATITUDES: 

Saint Augustine drew a connection between the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Beatitudes (Matt.5:3-12).


- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, reflects Fear of the Lord as the "poor in spirit" are the humble and God-fearing.


- Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted, corresponds to the Gift of Knowledge, as for Augustine the knowledge of God brings both an increased awareness of personal sin, and to some extent grieving at the abandonment of practices and activities that separate one from God.
