Even today, the explosive fumes of bombardment rise after burning them alive. The screams and cries of people, including women, children and animals, echo in fear in the little valley in the middle East. The televised massacre has been normalized since 7 oct, 2023. In this age, where a nation state system exists, organizations ensure peace and prevalence of human rights, international laws provide a just global environment, the feminists empower men, women and children, the environment and animal welfare-based agencies play their roles, the bloodshed of Palestinians by Israel is an elephant in the room, exposing the hypocrisy of big players who consider themselves ambassadors of human rights and democracy.
The debris that the globe sees in the Gaza valley today possesses dreams of many students, youth of many youngsters, folklores of many mothers, rhymes of many children, the ambitions and hopes of many men that were transformed into ashes by the Israeli war crimes. Their heinous acts do not, even, spare the environment and animals.
61,709 people have died, 17,492 of which are children. Further, more than 111, 588 people are injured. 14,222 people are missing and presumed as dead.
Talking about casualties, since 7 Oct, 2023, thousands of people have lost their lives, homes, families, mental health, and happiness. According to the ,Ministry of Health, Palestine, 61,709 people have died, 17,492 of which are children. More than 111, 588 people are injured. 14,222 people are missing and presumed as dead. The Israeli airstrikes have demolished schools, institutions, healthcare centers, commercial areas, food production industries and even water supply systems, pushing Palestinians into a abyss of vulnerability. As per many reports, their cruelty extends to the women and children. Injured are being treated without anesthesia, adding to their sufferings. Moreover, women are delivering premature babies without any medical facilities, in a environment where death falls on them in the form of bombs.
Discussing additional losses, having ruined agriculture and other food resources, Israel continues to suffocate the Palestinians by barricading humanitarian aid. Israel has forced Palestinians to flee from their areas by issuing 75 evacuations orders since 7 Oct, 2023, pacing up the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. More than 200 journalists were murdered by Israel for documenting the Holocaust of Israel in Palestine.
Innocent creatures including children and animals are paying the cost of satanic Zionism of Israel backed and funded by many big players of the worldÂ
There are many violations that Israel is committing shamelessly in Gaza. It is using white phosphorus chemical weapons to accelerate Palestinian apartheid which is a clear violation of Chemical Weapons Convention, going against the environmental, animals and human rights. By using these harmful weapons, Israel is committing crime to both humans and the environment by poisoning them with chemicals, nuclear debri and bombardment.
As per Al-Jazeera report, 68% of cropland has been made debris by Israel, enhancing the ecological damage and food insecurity in the region. Even, Gaza’s animals are suffering from countless agonies like injuries, starvation, lack of medicines and psychological trauma. Several local and international organizations are reporting that animals in captivity, on farms, in shelters, and in homes have been killed, injured, or displaced as a result of Israeli strikes. An international animal welfare-based organization, Four Paws, and many others are underscoring their miseries. Hence, innocent creatures including children and animals are paying the cost of satanic Zionism of Israel backed and funded by many big players of the world who claim themselves to be peace keepers of the world.
Referring to the infrastructural damages in the besieged Gaza, 92% of housing units are razed, as per Al-Jazeera report. Likewise, 80% of commercial facilities, 68% of road networks, 88% of educational institutions, and 55% of health care centers are wrecked by Israeli attacks.
These are, undoubtedly, horrific propositions, indicating the plight of Palestinians and failure of big organizations and hypocrisy of big powers in maintaining the global peace.
Israel has made the region a battle field, obstructing development and investment in the region, impacting the global economy
However, these horrendous acts of Israel will have far-reaching implications which will not only be limited to Palestine but to the entire globe. First, Israeli violence is threatening the lives of Jews, who are living worldwide as minorities, as people view them with hatred. Further, this war is paving a path for non-state actors to exacerbate the instability in the region. Additionally, the forced displacement of Palestinians by Israel is creating a demographic imbalance in the region of the Middle East, scaling up the refugee crisis. Israel has made the region a battle field, obstructing development and investment in the region, impacting the global economy. Many well-known global enterprises failed to stop war crimes of Israel, eroding the trust level between people and institutions.
The genocide of Israel in Palestine is threatening their national identity. According to social identity theory, if a nation or group of people are on the verge of identity crisis in this situation, they may resort to extreme means to preserve their identity, often through armed struggle as a form of compensation for the crisis. Hence, the assault of the rights of living beings and the environment by Israel would push the world into the cyclone of global war and vulnerabilities.
The Greenpeace activists have dyed the USA embassy pond with red color to indicate they have blood of Palestinians on their hands, highlighting the 76 years of Israeli occupation and barbarianism in the Palestinian region
At present, many civilians from different parts of the world are boycotting Israeli products. Many states are recognizing Palestine as a state like the state of Ireland and many others. Many politicians, social activists, environmental, animal and human rights activists are slamming Israel for the genocide they are carrying out. Many influencers are confronting big names like Microsoft for funding Israel to conduct murders.
Many Jewish-American commentators like Dave smith, politicians like Bernie Sanders, Army veterans like captain Josephine Guilbeau and civilians like actor Michael malarkey are connotating Israeli government and AIPAC as an evil. Many of them are condemning AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) for its unnecessary influence in American politics, evaporating the real American values. Recently, the Greenpeace activists have dyed the USA embassy pond with red color to indicate they have blood of Palestinians on their hands, highlighting the 76 years of Israeli occupation and barbarianism in the Palestinian region.
Talking about the solutions to the crisis, several global agencies including the United Nations (UN) bodies, International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Criminal Court (ICC) and many others seem failed to ensure peace and justice within the world by not controlling the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza caused by Israel’s Zionism. However, this crisis requires a two-tier solution i.e. ceasefire and post-war rehabilitation program in Palestine.
First, imposing Arms embargo on Israel is the need of an hour so that it would not be able to conduct operations in Palestine by using weapons. Further, aforementioned international legal institutions must hold Israel accountable before international laws for its ferocious war crimes in Gaza. Also, pressure must be mounted on Israel for unimpeded supply of humanitarian aid in Gaza as Israel has halted even basic necessities like water, food, medicine etc., hazarding the lives of the living beings including animals.
If timely actions would not be taken, the global peace would be in dire straits and Israel would successfully implementing its dirty Zionist ideology
Further, more states should recognize Palestine as a state in order to diminish the Zionist elements that wanted racial cleansing of Palestinians. Furthermore, to put economic pressure on the Israel, first and second sanctions must be imposed on it with the clauses of trade restrictions so that inhumane acts of Israel can stop. Such Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movements would build not only economic pressure but also political strain on the Israeli government. After the ceasefire, the rehabilitation of Palestine is of utmost importance. Even before the war the literacy rate in the region was low and the poverty rate was high. So, development, and investment in education and catering food insecurity is a pressing need. After the stability of the region, global institutions must think of one state solution, two states solution or confederation on which most of the world has consensus.
Unfortunately, it’s already too late. However, there is still hope to stop Israel from committing war crimes; now the onus is on the shoulders of states and legal agencies
To conclude, unfortunately, it’s already too late. However, there is still hope to stop Israel from committing war crimes; now the onus is on the shoulders of states and legal agencies. If timely actions would not be taken, the global peace would be in dire straits and Israel would successfully implementing its dirty Zionist ideology in the form of Greater Israel as depicted by Dr Israr Ahmed from various references of Hadiths.
