It seems, the newly erupted Hamas –-Israel war has put the olive branch of a symbol of peace in the graveyard permanently. May or may not, Israel, the hub of high-tech war machinery will win the war and be able to erase the Hamas from Gaza. But undoubtedly, Israel will win, even capable of demolishing the entire Gaza settlement.
Israel already, like a video game show, dusted a commercial building “Palestine Tower” in the air. For continuing Israeli efforts, Biden administration has supplied munitions. So, again a time of adversity has started for the Gaza population.
“Everywhere you are going in Gaza you see funerals, you see death. You see buildings collapsing. It’s like you are watching a movie about the end of life on this Earth.” Following Israeli retaliation, Dr Khamis Elessi, a neuro-rehabilitation and pain medicine consultant based in Gaza City, told the BBC
“The kids are crying and screaming, there is no electricity, there’s no internet and so you feel you could be next.”
Israel cut off Gaza’s electricity, fuel supplies, and the entry of goods in Gaza.
Since, the creation of the Israel State, in every conflict between Israel and Palestine, Palestinians lost lives, properties, and land. Following the Hamas surprise strike, maybe, the same fate is waiting for the Gaza population.
Other side of the coin, Israeli people are panicked, they received nearly thousands of causalities, and several dozen Israelis were kidnapped. Inhabitants of some Israeli cities fled to avoid Hamas rocket barrage. Despite the Iron Dome, Israel is not a safe country to live in peace. Israelis have everything, wealth, health, religion, high-tech, top-ranking passports, and knowledge. In every war, they easily won new land for settlements, but they couldn’t merely avoid life threats. Comparably, the life in USA or some European countries for Jewish people is smooth, unworried, and comfortable.
According to the survey, the Core Jewish population in the world is 16,087,754 while 6,340,600 core Jews live in Israel. The second largest population consisted of 5,700,000 core Jews living in the USA with a prosperous livelihood.
Aftermath of the Hamas strike, Israeli citizens, and Jewish people gathered at Tel Aviv airport to flee from divine land to avoid Hamas rockets.
According to an Israeli citizen, “Nothing in Israel Is the same as it was before the Hamas attack.”
Benjamin Netanyahu who threatened to whip out the Gaza people from their soil, couldn’t prevent his own people from a new kind of Jewish exodus.
Netanyahu has adopted his decades-long policy as prime minister of expanding Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, deemed illegal under international law. He was indicted on charges of breach of trust, bribery, and fraud, following a three-year investigation.
His own “hard line against all terrorists” came as a result of his brother Yoni Netanyahu’s death, who was killed while leading the hostage rescue mission at Operation Entebbe.
Netanyahu endorsed a “Demilitarized Palestinian State” and said that Jerusalem must remain the unified capital of Israel. Netanyahu stated that he would accept a Palestinian state if Jerusalem were to remain the united capital of Israel, the Palestinians would have no army, and the Palestinians would give up their demand for a right of return. He also argued the right for “natural growth” in the existing Jewish settlements in the West Bank while their permanent status is up for further negotiation
In 2014, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat criticized Netanyahu, calling him “ideologically corrupt” and a war criminal.
It is crystal clear that Netanyahu’s policy has fueled Hamas, the most extremist faction of Palestine. His attitude towards the Gaza people pushed them to the edge of the wall, where there was no way to return.
The most unpopular prime minister of Israel’s history, Netanyahu got a new mileage to remain in power following Hama’s “operation Al-Aqsa flood”.
“Benjamin Netanyahu should be removed as prime minister immediately – not “after the war,” not after a plea bargain in his corruption trial, not after an election.” His opponent said.
In this hour of darkness, Israeli people may remember their peace lover prime minister late Yitzhak Rabin, who once said, “We who have fought against you, the Palestinians, we say to you today, in a loud and clear voice, enough of blood and tears. Enough!”
Benjamin Netanyahu has launched “Operation Iron Sword” to erase the entire Gaza population saying, “it just beginning”.
When he said these words, several thousand travelers were queuing at the main airport of Tel Aviv to leave Israel. Is it the beginning of this century’s new Jewish exodus?
