War

Irony just died a thousand deaths

The world is not equal there is no parity whatsoever

Let's call out Uncle Sam today. Uncle Sam has a very typical self-indulgent behaviour, the so-called saviour of the denudated, run-down world, the beacon of hope and beam of opportunities. The US of A has this strange quality of turning everyone into one hypocritical ‘Merican, ain’t it? Or else why would the swave and good-with-words president who identifies himself as a Black voice Mr Obama be bombing and killing people in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria? Indians are no less culprit to these charades, I mean look at this spineless Prime Minister of ours, who wants to secure a vote bank of majority religion’s nationalists, he has no iota of humanity left in him.

Gaza is burning and it's not burning, it's literally pleading to be saved. A total of 4000 as per official figures children were killed trapped in rubble and were hit by bombs. And Uncle Sam stares at it shamelessly supplying arms to Israel giving bombs, and getting them a free pass. The good-for-nothing United Nations should ban itself since it cannot do anything as a global body formed for peace. Ukraine happened and things went out of hand, condemnations came in. In Gaza every 10 minutes a child is being hacked to death in the pretence of the fight against terror, sorry to say I don’t see this as any attempt to neutralize terrorists but rather a ploy to draw out the last remaining Palestinians left in that sliver of land.

People come up with lots to say, they refer to history, who came first? who was there? I care none of that, just keep yourself in their position. Imagine day by day, your land is being grabbed and you are pushed into a corner, you are being made stateless, with nothing to call your own. You are pushed to the corner with no resources and livelihood to depend on. You are practically stateless, what will you do when you encounter it? Sorry to say! but Jews are exactly doing the same thing they were subjected to, and the thing is these people gave them shelter when they came back to where they belonged. This is a mess. And Uncle Sam should be called out for this, instead of saving kids from getting shot in his own country, he is busy supplying arms and bombs to terrorists and armies alike. As I said Irony died a thousand deaths after the first weapon was launched in the Middle East for the “War on terror”.

When a ceasefire resolution was introduced in the UN, there were so-called democratic European nations that defied it. As usual, Uncle Sam's ‘Merica did the same. Our PM who is the world’s teacher apparently did the same, and abstained! That’s what he is good for? And many progressive nations abstained. The war of narratives is secondary, nothing justifies what both sides are going through. But knowing the context of the war is bigger than the war itself. People forget their sense of judgement when some ills of the past come up, they feel the pit of despair engulfing their organs bit by bit. But that’s their past they need to deal with. That should not cloud the judgment today! But I don’t think this is going to end well. And there will be a haphazard humanitarian crisis at a scale unimaginable in this region, All the Hamas terrorists that penetrated after firing 5000 rockets, a big chunk of them are conditioned to bleed to death, as they were orphans, parents killed in war. When you see that believe me nothing else matters after that especially when you see killers lurking then and now in your perimeter with rifles.

I am also stunned by Arab unity, so much for fighting joint attacks to free Palestine. Egypt is sealing borders, and Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq do not wanna take refugees where will the Palestinian residents go, Israel is putting out threat after threat to bomb more, enter deeper and kill more asking for civilians to leave. I think people mostly children and women in Gaza are going to have the most haunting memories of their lives if they manage to survive after everything that will unfold.
