Palestine – Ending Israeli Occupation and Gaza Blockade Immediate Priority

April 12, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Life offers choices and opportunity to mankind. Human development is entirely dependent on utilizing potential constructively benefitting all that in return generates inner power for pervasive distribution promoting self-sufficiency.

Contrarily using endownments and capability towards destruction inevitably precipitate decline and ultimately to extinction.

Whenever human conduct is dictated by greed adopting violence to achieve aspirations beyond reason ignoring dire consequences, the impact is severe and irreversible on the source.

The art of living is in learning from past mistakes and disavow negativity changing course towards self-emancipation and betterment.

Again repeating the same errors and continuation on detrimental pursuits is defying rationality endangering own survival.

Applying the conditionality on Israel, the regime governed by Zionist doctrine relentlessly targets the base upon which the state exists intensifying brutality against victims i.e. Palestinians with hostility having reached a crescendo dehumanized Israeli authorities and coalition.

Israel upholding the trend in self-righteous egregious actions since inception in 1948 as justification for geopolitical dominance has delegitimized presence in the Middle East through 1967 invasion of Arab land starting with Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.

Not to mention the deceit and betrayal of benefactor until today – the United States under Israeli attack on USS liberty forced to sacrifice marines denying them due honorable service and subsequently the direct involvement in heinous 9/11 onslaught on American soil.

The massive cover up to protect the war ravenous so-called ally that persistently remains the major liability to American tax payers extracting multi billion dollars – $123 billions a year with only $3 billion in public disclosure while leaving vast majority U.S. citizens in poverty and critical economic condition is a relation flagrantly abusive.

Additionally, the burden on American generation exponentially increased with Israel’s belligerence expended at United States military aid and warfare for regime change shifting the costs in trillions to none other than average American families depriving them of decent life.

Israel’s wanton provocation and ambitions never to come into fruition has peaked with Washington collusion committing treason against United States – the nation they are elected to serve instead depleting national treasury to fight Israel’s wars in the Middle East.

United States sovereignty long undermined and American population conveniently reserved for shedding blood and sweat in the combat zone and failing economy respectively to satisfy hegemony perpetual desire to invade and occupy foreign shores seizing natural resources and exploiting human capital in the domain.

Israeli atrocities against Palestinians from illegal occupation, annihilation and decimation of lives and livelihoods to aggression resulting in several deaths of detainees held under unlawful administrative detention with colonization viz. settlement expansion tops notoriety in human rights violation.

Meanwhile in the beleaguered enclave Gaza, Israeli shelling is ongoing practice invariably aimed at children, women and vulnerable natives in the occupied territory.

Although gruesome oppression involves assaults on Gaza frequently testing United States funded iron dome efficiency despite Palestinian casualty,

The worst trait demonstrated in unilateral illegal Israeli blockade imposed since June 2007 and lately tightened barring humanitarian goods, food supplies and all economic requirements threatening citizens existence.

Gaza residents suffering further exacerbated with Egypt authority demolition of 250 tunnels that was lifeline for the trapped citizens to receive essentials due to Israeli restrictions on fishing, farming and industrial growth affecting unemployment rate in Gaza to 33% – the highest in any standard.

Egypt decision is linked with Israel instigated unrest in Gaza-Egypt border – the Rafah crossing prompting Egypt to flood tunnels preventing Gazans access to bare minimum disregarding their plight.

The problems for citizens in Gaza culminated with United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) assistance withdrawal and closing food distribution depots in the past week.

The killing of Palestinians on daily basis in Gaza, West Bank and al-Quds, East Jerusalem, the capital of Palestinian State exceed much discussed twentieth century holocaust with history repeating itself in Israel crimes against humanity.

Notwithstanding western and gulf regimes complicity in Israeli persecution of Palestinians allows Tel Aviv cart blanche in human degradation policy.

The peace movement and Boycott Divestment Sanctions to raise awareness are praiseworthy,

However, the effective strategy would be to denounce and reject facilitators extending boycott to partners in crime – United States, Britain, CANADA, France, Germany, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and others kowtowing Zionist ideology.

Having exhausted diplomacy and peaceful coercion unsuccessfully on Israel, the leadership and those behind extemporaneous concepts implemented as laws against Palestinians including others in the region,

The state of Israel is forewarned unequivocally on impending stakes ahead in travelling down egocentric hyperbolic lane epitomized in dismissal of universal norms and principles applicable to all without exception consistently declined in adherence.

Israel determination to perpetuate violations not only towards Palestine but also against neighbors in Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and Egypt for establishment of greater Israel with gulf dictatorships subservience is a suicide mission for Israel and allies conforming to end justifying the means in the imminent non-existence status.

Hence, the only option to avert looming apocalypse for Israel and alliance is to arrest imperialistic quest and abandon ill-fated delusional hegemonic goals for individual and collective salvation.

Israel procrastination and refusal to terminate occupation of Palestine, Golan Heights in Syria and lifting Gaza sanctions together with unconditional release of all Palestinian hostages in captivity would expedite myriad challenges in epic proportion.

World solidarity in liberating Palestine and thwarting prevalent anti-humanity agenda is critical to sustain life, global peace and security.

Tolerance to injustice in Palestine over decades has contributed to widespread overt and covert subjugation across the globe.

International community complacency to Palestinian ordeal could deliver similar experience for them in a matter of time.

Palestinian resistance and peace activists around the world are urged to consolidate efforts leading to Palestinian statehood recognition as a sovereign nation with citizens rights to self-determination and territorial integrity.

Heartfelt condolences to survivors and dependents of detainees died in Israel’s prisons –

The martyrs – Arafat Jaradat, Maisarah Abu Hamdiah and the latest death in Israel’s Nafha prison with name yet to be published per local and overseas report.

Wishing Palestinians freedom from struggles with Almighty God’s grace and blessing for a new beginning and promising future.

Peace to people in Palestine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

South Africa – Durban BRICS Summit 2013

March 26, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Greetings! To leaderships from BRICS nations i.e. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa as well as other dignitaries attending the 2013 BRICS summit in Durban, South Africa.

The BRICS foreign ministers statement preceding the scheduled summit March 26th and 27th, 2013 on the agreement and arrangement for BRICS developmental project bank rivaling western institutions viz. the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a step in the right direction to address manufactured crises by existing finance industry aimed at exploitation and insolvency of developing and developed economies around the world.

World Bank and IMF in particular are responsible for impoverishment amongst significant population in developing nations that is now prevalent in the industrialized North America and Europe.

These two organizations along with their counterparts like European Central Bank (ECB), European Union and other financial bigwigs have consolidated efforts in exacerbating people suffering with severe austerity and bank bailouts under false pretext of rescue schemes meant to benefit banking cartels besides gaining direct access to respective nations resources through stipulations in the deal witnessed in the Mediterranean island nation – Cyprus borrowing criteria.

BRICS financing on the other hand set up to assist needy and poorer economies would perhaps allow countries like Egypt, Cyprus and many others across the globe to access funds without experiencing similar dilemma with hegemony controlled and managed western monetary infrastructure.

Furthermore, BRICS and likewise Latin America, Middle Eastern, African and Asian community could form regional financial network fostering economic growth, and fair trade agreement unlike free trade agreement (FTA) or foreign direct investments (FDI) with multinational corporations dictating terms and conditions not excluding political intervention attributed to status quo world over.

The funding of various projects facilitating job oriented programs for communal and society progress under workers or labor force management stressing collective responsibility on repayments would yield better results rather than foreign or third party oversight largely being the beneficiary depriving the borrower any economic success and instead burdening them with generational indebtedness reflective in western lending strategy.

From micro to macro financing envisaged at pervasive economic sector expansion promoting self-sufficiency and indigenous production utilizing native materials plus endowments would boost sustainable trend accommodating economically viable imports and exchange of goods and services for quality enhancement and competitive price in the market economy.

BRICS consideration to maintain foreign reserves and national currency trading is yet another genuine concept with delineation from current system engaged in FOREX maladjustments otherwise known as currency manipulation to offset trade imbalance in bilateral or multilateral relations leading to endless disputes in the dollar and euro zone.

On other important affairs – BRICS commitment to resolve international conflicts beginning with Syria having consumed nearly 75,000 lives and still counting while million or more forced to flee villages and towns as refugees due to western and gulf states illegal warfare in overt sponsorship of terrorism is imperative not only to save lives but also prevent escalation of violence in the volatile Middle East inevitably spreading to rest of the world.

Hence, BRICS unanimous consensus combined with concrete actions calling for termination of terrorism and all forms of aggression including WMD on innocent civilians is absolutely essential to prove the member nations sovereignty in recognition of victims i.e. Syria’s right to self determination as well as maintaining sovereign status.

Notwithstanding BRICS solidarity and pledge to world peace could be demonstrated in rejecting military and terrorist deployment seeking complete withdrawal and arms embargo in independent Syrian state and elsewhere.

International consortiums adopting measures severing ties with nations behind Syrian death and destruction could be effective and perhaps provide impetus to end bloodshed in the terror mission against the Arab country.

Likewise, shedding light on Israeli-Palestinian issue moving towards establishment of Palestine state with pre-1967 borders is crucial for regional and global security.

UNSC, EU, NATO, World Bank and IMF…are convenient avenues for western powers to impose unilateral economic warfare and military attacks against target nations in the legitimate resistance to western monopoly and neocolonialism premised on neoliberalism in the economic front and neo-conservatism on geopolitical dominance.

These sub structural hierarchies under New World Order or One World Government auspice endangering life and livelihoods everywhere.

Invalidation with strong opposition to hegemonic goals is paramount to defend territorial integrity and national republic.

Upon preventing hegemony threats and widespread carnage, the situation would alleviate social injustice caused by divide and conquer policy.

Economic prosperity ignoring environment protection is meaningless considering inhabitants’ survival is dependent on healthy and safe habitat.

Accordingly, BRICS submission to stringent environmental regulations with natural renewable energy – the only alternative and affordable sources for global consumption is no longer an option but a necessity in the short and long run.

BRICS attention and adherence to nuclear disarmament urging all nuclear states barring exceptions and non-nuclear entities participation in international meeting this year is a priority considering western nuclear powers involvement in dangerous and provocative military confrontation.

BRICS expediting initiatives on the financial hub is monumental for achievements favorable to humanity at large.

Finally, BRICS invitation to Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq and Syria as partners representing the Middle East would conform to diversity and contemporary geodynamics in the evolutionary process.

Best Wishes to BRICS in all endeavors that are peaceful, positive and progressive to mankind.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – Independence and Statehood Recognition

March 7, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Since the illegal declaration of the state of Israel in 1948 on Palestine depriving the natives their homeland and rendering them refugees,

Israel returned favor to Palestinians with brutality, oppression, genocide and dehumanization over six decades leaving them in perennial despair.

The atrocities include summary executions in the latest crime against Palestinians in West Bank, Palestine state capital Al-Quds i.e. East Jerusalem and Gaza.

Notwithstanding Israel assassination of Hamas General plus another Military High Command prior to second military aggression on Gaza in December 2012 – a ritual carried out every four years alongside unilateral crippling economic blockade imposed on the residents from 2007 until now.

Israel as Palestine’s colonizer is also responsible for land grab through unlawful settlements all over Palestinian territories with armed settlers imported from Eastern Europe and Russia…forcibly evict indigenous Arab population from these areas to build Zionist colony.

Additionally, Palestine is a beleaguered state with United States financed Israeli military deployment – a tradition maintained by U.S. administrations regardless of political representation i.e. Republican or Democrat demonstrated in the latest move providing financial assistance apparently increased from previous $3 billion to $3.1 billion alongside $70 million military aid to Israel for anti-missile defense program enhancing Israeli aggression against Palestinian people.

Ironically the U.S. generosity to Israel extended at American citizens expense with nearly 50 millions on food stamps, economy in recession, stunted job growth, massive unemployment among African Americans and other demography regularly not projected in the statistics to shield facts from public purview.

Furthermore, the sequestration i.e. automatic spending cuts effective on March 1, 2013 maneuvered to prevent impact on U.S. monetary flow to Israel displaying Washington leaderships appeasement and compliance to Tel Aviv via Zionist lobby especially now with vast majority of Americans subjected to austerity.

The recent news splash on President Barack Obama setting timetable with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for troop withdrawal from West Bank by 2014 preceding the forthcoming trip to Israel while facilitating Tel Aviv militarization of occupied Palestinian land through multi billion dollars charity clarifies usual contradictory dual track methodology exploiting Palestinian cause for other agenda such as Iran.

Besides actions are verifiable whereas statements serve as political rhetoric and,

In this context Obama administration proactive measure with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry consistent efforts reminding Congress to protect Washington cash delivery to Tel Aviv secured amid claiming budget talks concerning U.S. economy failed due to congressional disagreement with White House on the core national issue.

Moreover the same tactics applied in the past three years with public statements on Palestinian Statehood although behind the scenes operation and deal reflected blatant support for Israeli occupation.

Most importantly, United States administration real position on Palestinian liberation revealed in consecutive vetoes at UNSC up until now.

The incumbent U.S. administration vehemently opposed Palestinian Statehood request at UN General Assembly in 2010 and subsequently vetoed settlement expansion freeze in 2011 successfully thwarting UNSC decisive action confirming well founded facts on UN role as unreliable entity in resolving international crises.

Israeli regime terror in the occupied territories has escalated with United States commitment to derail UN resolutions unlike U.S. enthusiastic participation imposing economic sanctions against North Korea, Iran, Syria and Cuba…the nations categorized as western adversaries in the hegemony manipulated system.

The bizarre and convoluted practice abusing UNSC privileged status selectively targets nations leading to population genocide.

Meanwhile, Israel colonization and persecution including killings of Palestinians never subjected to trade embargo contrarily bolstered with ammunition flurry and innovative technology from United States as witnessed in the past week budget allocation.

UN and UNSC is a convenient access for western hypocrisy delegitimizing the so-called international organization function with imperialists dominance as permanent members wielding power even amongst second tier fifteen member council that is increasingly proved counterproductive for world peace.

Zionist ideology professed in evading Palestinian sovereignty and Israeli forces systemic abuse of young children and youth held under administration detention policy denying these victims any rights resulting in a detainee death and many on hunger strike over several months in jail is yet another western complicity to crimes against humanity.

Within Israeli society, the government and political factions treatment of African nationals like the immigrants from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan (Darfur) comparable to apartheid considering the female members of these groups are reportedly interjected with infertility drug to prohibit race proliferation ignoring serious health repercussion already on the rise.

Despite Israel’s appalling track record, the United States led UNSC always in the forefront to punish nations standing up to belligerent west and coalition.

The sovereign nations resistance to destructive doctrine responsible for world status quo is arguably the bone of contention.

UNSC P5 +1 and fifteen member council has been a miserable failure in deterrence to Israel’s defiance on Palestine, Syrian conflict with Israeli air strike on scientific research center producing civilian casualties as well as many injured other than numerous events involving terrorism that leads to Israel.

Zionists provocative expansionism in Palestinian territories and prejudice against Arabs and African migrants in Israel has reached crescendo in terms of gross human rights violation.

Israel refusal to peace treaty for two state solutions premised on pre 1967 borders encompassing all relevant issues justify re-creation of Palestine with deadline on colonizer exit plan.

Palestine independence from Zionist rule solemnized restoring sovereignty for the Arab nation voiding Israel’s demarcation.

Israel survival is entirely dependent upon the acknowledgment of peace offer without preconditions beginning immediately and not in 2014 to save lives and alleviate Palestinian plight languishing in Israeli prison and barricaded Palestinian land.

Any procrastination and avoidance in the re-establishment of Palestinian state would have irreversible consequences for Israel, United States and others facing decline with the dawn of new era imminent per cosmic determination.

Israeli troop removal from West Bank, Al-Quds viz. East Jerusalem not barring settlers and activities over and above lifting illegal sanctions against residents in Gaza starting now in March 2013 allowing the process to complete in the next six months is the only option that could guarantee Israel’s economic and political future.

Again drastic response to challenge the proposal would be an invitation to self-disaster.

Palestinian leaderships viz. Fatah and Hamas in solidarity with respective citizens on both sides preparation for declaration of Palestinian independence from colonialism are necessary to expedite inauguration of Palestine Republic.

Submission to totalitarianism encourage violence and injustice experienced by Palestinians in sixty-five years and the moment to end tyranny has arrived calling for departure from occupied Palestine.

Non Aligned Movement (NAM) proceeding with recognition of Palestinian sovereignty and independent status would exemplify international pledge to global freedom, harmony and security.

Best Wishes to Palestinian citizens and leaderships in the rebirth of Palestine bringing the struggles to termination.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Syria – Israeli airstrike against Syrian Scientific Research Center is Israel’s Self-Immolation

January 30, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Israeli regime airstrike against Syria’s scientific research center is Israel’s self-immolation.

According to reports Israeli military intrusion has killed at least two and injured five so far.

The world has tolerated Israel, United States and allies terrorism, atrocities and war crimes for too long due to lack of accountability.

The latest wanton provocation is an imminent disaster to belligerent state showing no respect for life or international law.

History is testimony to the fact that tyranny reaching the height of tolerance expedite perpetrators disastrous fatal ending in the crimes against humanity.

None are invincible and Israel along with United States are no exception in this regard considering brutality committed by them including attacks against their own citizens in American soil on September 11, 2001.

Furthermore, Israel abusing ally position also responsible for United States and EU sinking economy and alarming suicides among United States military personnel fighting Israel’s delusional geopolitical aspirations never to come into fruition.

Israel and any nation regardless of economic and military not barring nuclear status collusion in misadventures would lead to isolation and continuous defiance resulting in losing sovereignty to the point of no return.

Henceforth, Israeli regime and allies war mongering policies and terrorism is best abandoned exercising restraint over catastrophic actions with inevitable ramifications for the state of Israel and other death squad sponsors against Syria.

Israeli raid targeting Syria is yet another desperate times seeking desperate demise that could easily be averted by war architects and so-called think tanks misleading the regime in Tel Aviv and counterparts in Washington.

Neither Israel nor United States and western powers not excluding Saudi, Qatar and Turkey despotic regimes can afford cataclysmic outcome in escalating Syrian conflict.

The consequence of ill-advised terrorist, militancy and mercenaries deployment by them in Syria is already reflected in dying economy and crumbling kingdoms respectively notwithstanding Imperialism imminent collapse relieving the world from tyranny and oppression.

Israeli and United States signaled aggression is counterproductive and proceeding towards unnecessary assault against Syrian interests would be apocalyptic for aggressors underestimating appropriate response.

Syria is a sovereign state and pose threats to none in the region or worldwide unlike Israel, United States and coalition being existential opponents to peace and global security.

Israel survival in Middle East and credibility is largely dependent on terminating violence and repression against Palestinians in the occupied land of Palestine and neighbors viz. Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Libya.

Most importantly, Israel coming in terms with reality on Palestinian statehood recognition is no longer an option but necessity for own future..

The current military engagement against Syria is reprehensible and more than worthy of condemnation leading to economic, financial, travel and technology sanctions on the state of Israel.

Muslim community across the globe are urged to come together in solidarity and boycott Israel by pledging to Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) program operative against world’s worst violator of peace and diplomacy.

The global society and Muslim population in particular concrete measure against Israel and collaborators would set precedence in categorical denouncement of superpower syndrome denying innocent victims normal life with dignity.

Please remember inaction to injustice is complicity and synonymous events to be experienced by all for ignoring collective responsibility urgently required to stop presumptuous ambition on global dominance.

Wishing people and leadership in Syria phenomenal success in reverting calamity upon those inflicting damage and destruction.

Dawn of brilliant light to dispel darkness in and around beleaguered Syria and Palestine.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – UNGA Approval of Observer State Status

November 29, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To people in Palestine and Palestinian Authorities in West Bank and Gaza on the road to success expediting the achievement of ultimate goal – Palestine independence.

The major step would lead to liberty and recognition of Palestine as sovereign state with rights to self-determination and privileges enjoyed by nations denying oppressed population emancipation.

UNGA solidarity in promoting peace and justice is much appreciated.

The UN members’ approval set precedence in legitimizing collective rational decision on humanitarian issues overriding political interference proved to exacerbate human suffering all around.

UNGA acknowledgment of Palestinian humble request is victory for peace and non-violence approach – the honorable means without sacrificing precious lives in the world of turmoil.

Similarly UNGA adopting measures in granting Palestine the sovereign republic status in semblance with establishment of the state of Israel would epitomize UN commitment to freedom and equality.

On that optimistic note,

Wishing Palestine and Israel a new beginning with peaceful co-existence and bi-lateral relations in the respective citizens and national interest.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – UNGA Vote for Observer State Status

November 29, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

United Nations General Assembly is currently reviewing the Palestinian authority, President Mahmoud Abbas request for upgrade from non-member observer entity status to observer state status that would promote the world understanding of all members in global society worthy of respect and a life with dignity.

In this regard, Palestinian population has been deprived for over six decades with Israel invasion and military aggression up until now.

The inhumane conditions and ongoing hostility towards the people of Palestine has been brought to world attention on numerous occasions with a plea to end Israel’s unilateral excruciating blockade against Gaza alongside periodic aggravated assault resulting in infants, teenagers and women deaths prioritized to win the hearts and minds of Israeli electorate in the election war.

The pervasive combative environment in the entire occupied Palestinian territory robbing the children of Palestine the dreams for life with their family without fear of losing the members in either daily shooting or United States and western powers supplied and sponsored bombing prior to Israel’s electoral season could cease subsequent to Palestinian statehood recognition.

UNGA responsible action in accepting Palestine as a sovereign participant with the citizens’ rights to self-determination similar to the privileges enjoyed by Israeli citizens and western society considering their opposition to the Palestinian bid would legitimize UN as an international body transcending politics and influential powers superiority complex surfacing during Palestinian legal submission for statehood approval.

United States and Israel along with some western allies vehement protest to Palestinian natural right for freedom and sovereignty clarify the intention to prolong colonization in modern civilization exploiting the victims’ patience and endurance of more than sixty years of injustice.

The threats and intimidation tactics applied to subvert the process is yet another example of undemocratic principles exhibited by those representing the imperialistic agenda due to lack of accountability for their crimes against humanity.

Despite the political maneuvering to derail UNGA acknowledgment, the significant majority across the globe overwhelmingly calls for the United Nations members to grant Palestine the long overdue liberty – the inalienable right of every being on this planet.

The two state solution would also enable Israeli citizens peaceful co-existence disrupted from Israel’s ideology driven occupation goals embedded with permanent oppression in the meager land directly in violation of all laws that exist in a civilized world.

Israeli security is linked with treatment of neighbors especially the Palestinian citizens as equal for violence and terror would only yield synonymous response in self-defense given Israel’s disproportionate military and economic resources provided by United States and western power to maintain detrimental status quo.

Objectively, Israeli authority rejection of peace exemplified in refusal to follow general rule and UN resolutions together with Jewish unlawful settlement expansion posing impediments to Israel’s progress besides the ever increasing isolation from the rest of the world.

However, this situation could be reversed by changing course in pursuit of harmony beginning with adaptation to inevitable positive developments like Palestinian independence and honoring territorial integrity all around.

UNGA effectiveness is dependent upon resistance to United States, Israel and selective western powers counterproductive intrusions on international affairs with specific motive to undermine the legality and ethical efficacy of humanitarian law and UN Charter.

Above all UN members’ sovereign pledge for fairness and equality barring discriminatory practices in the decision-making aimed at particular segment viz. Palestinians in this instance would restore credibility to the organization role as a reliable entity.

UNGA could write a new chapter in history in moving forward rather than backward with unequivocal endorsement of peace enshrined in Palestine as an independent nation facilitating the success of two state solutions – the only pragmatic approach to ensure safety and long-term security for both Israel and Palestine.

Wishing UNGA members courage and solidarity in upholding human values and integrity with a resounding ‘Yes’ vote on the humanitarian issue affecting mankind.

Best Wishes to people in Palestine and Israel for good relations leading to mutual prosperity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Israel – Gaza Ceasefire Violation An Unnecessary Provocation

November 23, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Despite ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas following Israeli aggression against infants, teenagers and elderly citizens in Gaza that claimed 160 innocent lives and left many wounded per official figures with unofficial report yet to ascertain death toll underneath the rubble,

Israel military option is also responsible for five Israeli citizens demise and few residents hurt in Southern Israel during eight days air and sea assault on besieged Gaza.

Soon after ceasefire, Israeli forces proceeded with violent arrests of 55 Palestinian peaceful protesters in the occupied West Bank for non-violent participation to support their extended families in Gaza when Israeli shelling continued more than a week.

Israel’s latest attack resulting in Gaza casualty – a twenty one year old farmer killed while at least seven others injured is unnecessary provocation to Israel, United States and western allies detriment already reflected in declining economy and overwhelming condemnation for western status quo.

Evidently Israel and United States determination to pursue violence as the means to exert authoritarianism and superiority have no concern for their respective citizens safety or business sector prospects seriously affected due to regional and international community perception holding Israel and United States leaderships for state sponsored terrorism in direct violation of humanitarian law and civil standard.

The global response to rein in hegemony ideology posing imminent danger to all irrespective of identity is required more than ever.

Citizens from all walks of life could come forward and demonstrate solidarity in several ways such as – enforcing BDS movement against Israel.

Boycott Divestment Sanctions and extend stance towards western powers including Gulf allies fomenting killing of vulnerable citizens in Palestine, Israel, Syria, Bahrain, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya…around the world.

Mexico – The drug war financed and fueled by United States through controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ program implicating U.S.Justice department has enormously suffered on economic and political front with nearly 50,000 lives lost and more reported on daily accounts devoid of world’s attention thus far.

Similarly, avoiding travel and on-line purchases related to consumer trade could have a dramatic effect on nations behind revoking peace accord.

Since existing international body viz. UNSC, ICC and other organizations are under hegemony control and influence granting impunity to perpetrators presumptuously proclaiming as the world authority to commit crimes against humanity,

The global society are burdened to restore peace and justice with personal involvement in declining goods and services essentially imposing trade embargo and effective measures regularly vetoed by offenders at the UN conforming to double standards on international matter.

Additionally, applying pressure on their governments to exercise sovereignty and denounce atrocity in Palestine, Bahrain, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia and in the above mentioned nations by Israel, U.S., U.K. Canada, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan – the facilitators and financiers of warfare is paramount to end the escalation of terror world over.

The instigation promoting current unrest throughout Middle East, Pakistan, Latin America and Africa is to accomplish unattainable goals by hegemony in the face of deep economic recession.

Western power departure from dialogue and diplomacy with fascination for warfare and continuous bloodshed is counterproductive and exemplify misguided mission.

Notwithstanding reality in the alarming suicide rates among U.S. armed forces having exponentially risen in correlation to prolonged occupation in Afghanistan and military incursions in Persian Gulf and South China sea.

Irrationality overriding prudence and diligence precipitate inevitable multi-dimensional national crises given western powers misplaced priority on interference in foreign internal affairs exploited for destabilization.

Israel and United States in particular are urged to exercise restraint and refrainment from stoking unfavorable sentiments towards western strategy visible among significant majority with strong consumer power.

Ceasefire brokered in Egypt is an international treaty binding on all sides in respect for life and attempts to sabotage peace plan would reiterate western preference for turmoil and an invitation to self-disaster.

Global resistance beginning immediately with boycott and peaceful dissent to hegemony policy depriving humanity peaceful existence is imperative to reverse the outcome.

Gaza ceasefire monitored to maintain calmness crucial for survivors recovery from carnage and destruction in Israel’s bombing last week.

The recommendations at grassroots level intended to curb further hostility from Israel based on present breach of ceasefire.

Supernatural intervention is best averted in upholding ceasefire that could perhaps mitigate consistent loss of credibility.

With sincere condolences to Gaza victims and empathy to Israeli citizens held hostage in the election war,

Wishing long lasting peace to Palestine and Israel.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Agreement

November 21, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To people in Gaza and Israel along with leaderships in Egypt, Hamas and Israel for the ceasefire agreement reached in respect for life all around.

The ceasefire between Palestinian authority Hamas and Israel representatives brokered by Egypt President Mohammad Morsi is a preliminary step towards reconciliation on Palestinian and Israeli peaceful co-existence.

Although consolation and sympathy would not reverse the consequences from use of force suffered by the victims families,

The loss of lives in the last few days on both sides again disproportionately in Gaza involving infants and teenagers is a great human tragedy serving as a reminder to leaderships to renounce violence and utilize power for constructive purpose.

Political gains earned in improving lives through recognition of freedom, providing economic opportunity and social equality are honorable setting national precedence for a bright future shared amongst all.

Israel and Hamas treaty to end military aggression and retaliation respectively is an important milestone.

However, the real test remains in sustaining calmness resisting any temptation towards ceasefire violation that would also determine public trust expecting leadership to prioritize citizens life and safety on all sides over political agenda.

Israel leadership acceptance to open Gaza strip crossings facilitating people movement is a humane response and lifting naval blockade that has deprived Gaza residents normal living conditions would exemplify Israel’s commitment to recent accord.

Furthermore, provocation in terms of targeted assassinations of Hamas leaders or experimenting defense capability at civilian expense in Gaza could be substituted with acknowledgment of territorial integrity and legitimate political power with Hamas being the democratically elected government in Gaza.

Likewise Hamas persistence with peaceful negotiations replacing rocket firing would promote diplomacy required for the healing process in Gaza and Southern Israel.

The regional cooperation is equally essential demonstrating collective responsibility in ending Palestinian suffering with statehood and sovereignty that would guarantee long lasting security not only for Israel but entire Middle East.

Subsequently Israel and Palestine could focus on domestic issues and local development creating possibility for better bilateral relations and mutual economic prospects benefitting both states in the long term.

International community participation especially global citizens outpouring empathy was effective in halting the escalation of violence against Gaza.

Similarly peace activism in occupied Palestinian domain and Israel led to united front in drawing leaderships’ attention to the crisis.

The global solidarity could play a prominent role in two state solutions coming into fruition in November 2012 at the United Nations General Assembly transcending external intrusions for vested interests proved detrimental to citizens in Israel and Palestine thus far.

With deep appreciation for Egypt President Mohammad Morsi mediation alongside notable contributions from leaderships in Iran, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Russia among other nations,

Israel and Hamas governments’ consensus could be the beginning of the end of the decades old conflict.

Wishing success in the latest ceasefire evolving into a permanent environment for Palestine and Israel.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – Israel Immediate Ceasefire Critical to Save Life on Both Sides

November 21, 2012

By Padmini Arhant

Israeli political leadership reluctance to ceasefire is contributing to mounting casualties in Gaza and few in Southern Israel.

Immediate ceasefire is critical to save lives on both sides allowing thousand and more injured in Gaza access to medical treatment currently not accessible due to Israel’s relentless air and sea assault targeting civilians with infants and teenagers among the rising death toll by the hour.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak along with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman authorizing continuous bombing against people in Gaza are ignoring reality that they are effectively hurting their own citizens in Southern Israel under attack from rockets fired in retaliation to showering Israeli explosions on besieged Gaza.

The permanent relief from military aggression is not only imperative to protect lives but also necessary to avert potential catastrophe for Israel within society considering the latent public frustration regarding Prime Minister Netanyahu administration’s misplaced priority for Gaza invasion neglecting Israel’s dire economy reflected in the recent incidents involving Israeli citizens self immolation in public square.

Proceeding with onslaught would further damage Israel and western powers especially United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand…eligibility to participate as trustworthy partners in international affairs management.

Further escalating violence by inflicting death on unarmed defenseless civilians in Gaza could unnecessarily endanger United States and United Kingdom troops in the Persian Gulf including the respective nationals touring Middle East on pleasure or business trip subjected to risks and subsequent safe evacuation.

Israeli authorities air strikes aimed at the church under construction and Jewish settlers burning mosque in the occupied territory surprisingly has not been condemned by the religious hierarchy such as the Vatican although such reckless engagement against holy sites constitutes sacrilege in the highest order.

Meanwhile, Arab League missing in action shares similar non-commitment and merely limited to expression despite in possession of valuable bargaining chip i.e. freezing oil supply to Israel and western powers backing genocide upon failure to instantaneous ceasefire.

Since Israel’s massacre onset claiming lives disproportionately in Gaza and threatening Southern Israel residents safety in the Likud leadership’s bizarre attempt to display formidability guaranteeing national security evidently become the reason behind permanent tension denying Israel and Palestinians normal existence.

The procrastination in ending military operation only exacerbates Gazans and Israeli suffering that could be easily avoided through desperately required ceasefire.

Again behind the scenes maneuver between Israeli leadership and United States biased stance promotes delay rather than expediting peaceful resolution in order to prevent bloodshed in Gaza and consequently in Israel.

Global society on their part could persevere with non-violent protests applying pressure on governments especially the western leaderships responsible for their ‘unequivocal support’ to Prime Minister Netanyahu decision to maintain status quo specifically killing innocent children, women and elderly citizens in Gaza and likewise some deaths in Southern Israel.

Additionally the citizens around the world could come forward and boycott Israeli merchandise seeking termination of Israel’s naval blockade against Gaza and regular assassinations of Palestinian leaders in the state.

Palestinian civil society initiated non-violent dissent implementing Boycott Divestment Sanctions is yet another mechanism for world citizens to demonstrate solidarity given the United States consistent veto in UNSC legitimate actions against Israel’s constant violation of UN resolutions and international law.

The global efforts combined with Arab league delivery in deeds no longer restricted to words alone could bring Israel pre-emptive air raids to a grinding halt.

With sincere condolences to families and survivors of the deceased in the crime against humanity,

Wishing people in Gaza and Israel solace and courage to overcome the plight and speedy recovery of the wounded in the erroneous military intervention.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
