Israel is Causing Many Problems

defthaa

     Israel has been causing many problems for other countries around the world. Especially for Palestinians who have been occupied by Israel since the first establishment of Israel in 1948; Thereafter, Al Nakba or Catastrophe happened and expelled Palestinians from their home nor murdering Palestinians in a massive way. Thereby, Palestinians who have been migrated to other nations will never be able to come back to their land due to strict entry to enter Palestine. The occupation and apartheid are still happening till this day because many would argue regarding the establishment of Israel. Some of them said Israel is the heaven for Jewish and Israel is trying to protect Jews because they are in middle east. The relentless occupation has made Palestine to become 2 areas, Gaza and West Bank. As we have known, Gaza is ruled by Hamas after they win the election in 2006 and West Bank by Palestinian Authority. Israel often times uses Hamas to justify the genocide in Gaza such as human shield, October 7, tunnel underneath hospital, the right to defense themselves, describe Palestinians as animals.

      October 7 has always been milking it for all it is worth the topic to being discuss from Israelis side. The tragedy made around 1.400 Israelis died, but it went down to 1.200 since Israel has been identified who are the civilians or not. It made us wonder on how Israel could not distinguish between citizens and Hamas. Matter of fact, Israel has Hannibal Directive which allowed soldier to eliminate other soldier who has the possibility to become enemy’s hostage. I totally disagree with the word “Hostage” if the indigenous people kidnapping foreign people because the word is based on Host whom has the place, land, or house. However, the Hannibal Directive could probably use to civilians since the destructions do not seem cause by Hamas weapon. The other reason Hannibal Directive was used towards citizens, the IDF does not need to make other operations to taking back the hostages due to either exhausted or laziness. Surprisingly, US State Department, Matthew Miller did not recognize the Hannibal Directive. Beside of that, Israel had been known the detail of the October 7 operation long before Hamas attacked Supernova Music Festival. It seems the medias were trying to hide the evidence and changing the narrative because it is going to be harder to defense Israel if the information was leaked to the public.

     Antisemitic has inherent comradery with Jews people regardless of their own ethnicity. They can use the Antisemitic term if they were found someone had been “threatening” Jews existence. Semites is describing Sam’s descendant including: Arab, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syrian, and other middle east people. The majority of Palestinians are the real Semites itself since they have been being occupied the land for the long time. Meanwhile, Jews are losing the Semites DNA after they were being exile and settling in diverse regions. It may be the case on why Israelis are not correlated with the idea of claiming Palestine as their land in a geographic way. It was confusing the way Virginia Jew out of nowhere was taking Palestinian land by installing segregating fence merely because of their own religion. Need to be note that Judaism is not a race, it is belief or religion. The second famous sentence quiet often use is Never Again and it is kind of ridiculous on how they turn it 180 degrees.

     Hasbara has been spreading news due to cleaning Israel’s name and perspective to people around the world. Hasbara has been collaborated with Zaka, the volunteer organization whom got involved with incidents and “debunked” cause of death in Israel side. Need to be note that Zaka’s personnel are amateurs to conduct the causes and processes victim identification. Zaka has been accused for spreading misinformation since lack of the legitimate information. Zaka said in many interviews about decapitated baby, woman who got cut off her breast, Hamas was taking out baby from pregnant woman; But evidences were not adequate like a drop in the sea. Even more, nurse video whom made by Israelis, IDF soldier were spreading rumor on Twitter about the name of hostages on the regular calendar at hospital. I would argue, those IDF are looking down upon us or explicitly they are thought we are dumb. As we have expected from Israel’s friend, America has backed up Israel through their own medias company. Western media is the only one who is embracing Israel and pushing the narrative about Israel is being oppressed among middle east countries in order to not being called antisemitic.

     Never Again is a slogan to remind people about the Holocaust happened in Europe countries such as Germany, Poland, France, Italy, and so on. Never Again should prevent another genocide not only for a Jew, but for every ethnicity, religion, race. Racial supremacist should be considered if someone was saying Never Again for particular group of people. If Holocaust happened because of Europe countries, then what is the reason Palestinians are deserving massive murder for something they have not done in the first place. Matter of fact, Islamic countries or middle east nations were always opening their doors for those Jews who got eviction from Europe countries. I would assume, Europe countries are assisting or so vocal for the establishment of Israel since they can move out the Jews from their country. Many accusations have been made in order justified the mass murder in Gaza after October 7 occurred such as Rafah Camp massacre, tunnel underneath hospital in Gaza, schools accused as Hamas base.

     Rafah massacre happened in may 26th because IDF have found Israeli hostages in Rafah camp. Consequently, dozens of Palestinians were murdered and hundreds of them were injured. Israel has been launched strike attack in order to release those hostages, yet some of the hostages were killed by the IDF itself. It is kind of odd about the IDF’s strategy to nuclear the place where the hostages were being hidden. We can see the pattern of Israel has been done massive murder repeatedly by informing Palestinians to move to certain places and then bombing those civilians. As we have known as well, hospitals in Gaza have been bombed whereby collapsed the building’s structure by Israel due to accusation about Hamas tunnel beneath the facilities. However, it seems such a bunker instead of usual tunnel which has been built by militant group. In July recently, IDF even attacked school in Khan Younis due to eliminate Hamas senior but Hamas was rejecting the accusation. School shelter strike made dozens of Palestinians who most of them are children died in the tragedy. Palestinians are barely living under the occupations before and after October 7.

     Many restrictions have been happening in order to torture civilians inside Gaza by blocking the medical support and humanitarian supplies enter Gaza, cutting off the electricity and water supply. Blocking humanitarian supplies is not merely done by Israel Defense Forces but also by Israelis due to exchange it with the hostages. It is getting worst with Israel’s prime minister rejected the idea of two-states solution and does not want cease fire due to hostages still in Hamas’s hands. Those torments are being running by Israel in order to push Palestinians crossing the Egypt’s border or displacing them to Sinai since they were understood Palestinians will never be coming back to their land after they had been expelled. Thereby, Gaza could be occupied by illegal settlements. Hamas has been one of the excuses to justified the relentless occupation and many people point out their fingers onto Hamas and neglecting Israel’s responsibilities.

     Hamas has been established after second Intifada happened. It indicates the conflict was happened way before the creation of Hamas. Hamas’s military power is not similar in compare to Israel Defense Forces because IDF is provided by America who has the biggest military power on earth. The whole argument regarding the capability of Hamas as a militant group has the capability to demolish Israel does not touch the parameter of logic because why IDF cannot banish Hamas entirely if they were had the sophisticated military technologies to defeat Hamas and free the hostages immediately. It might be since Israel is trying to keep the reason for bombing civilians in order to counter the accusations. Nonetheless, the reason of the Hamas establishment is to fight against Zionism whom has been oppressing Palestinian for almost 76 years since Al Nakba. Hamas might not fight against Zionist if Israel has not been created based on Zionism ideology. Therefore, they are rushing the Palestinians to either moving out from Gaza to neighbor countries or murdering them relentlessly till they are exhausted before killing Hamas and liberating the hostages. Israel should change their strategy by not bombarding civilians’ safety areas if they were actually going after Hamas. Despite of comprehensive colonization as the main goal, Israel has been created bigger plan to build the Greater Israel.

     Besides of the Israel occupation in Gaza and West Bank, Israel has been planned the other occupation to establish the Greater Israel. Israel Defense Forces has some badge that indicates Israel is going to lit a fire in the middle east. The badge is not merely showing whole Palestine areas are being occupied, but also interpreting some of the land in the middle east including Syria, Jordan, Sinai in Egypt, half of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, and tiny part of south-east Turkey are being one nation. Israel’s far-right Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir has been being adamant about the border extension in order to “purify” the land. Moreover, Israel and Lebanon have had conflict since Lebanon was trying to assisting Hamas by launching their rockets into north Israel’s border. Nonetheless, middle east countries such as Saudi Arabia, Uni Emirate Arab, and Bahrain have zero issue with the diplomatic engagement between them and Israel. Although many countries around the world have disconnected their diplomacy ties with Israel, yet America is the only one country in west whom adamant for supporting the state of Israel establishment.

     America is a well-known country who has the biggest military power on earth. America has been funding money, military supplies, and aids since the declaration of the establishment the state of Israel in 1948. It could be happened because of the president in the time, Harry S. Truman did not want to lost the bread and butter for the re-election. America has been giving more than 310 billion dollars in total since 1948. Some of the governments would argue the whole core reason they are funding for Israel is firearms development in order to prevent the “threat” from Palestinians who are against America. I do not think the Palestinians had not already had the mindset of opposing America if America was not involved nor provided military supplies for Israel in the first place. It is ridiculous to see Israel and America have been planting the hatred towards themselves in Palestinians’ mind and all of the sudden they got surprised on how Palestinians are being hostile towards Israel and America’s government. However, America has quiet controversy reasons on supporting Israel nowadays. Israel is the only “democracy” state in the middle east has been the highest reason why they are should assisting Israel. They would argue, Israel has been uplifting democracy value among middle east countries. Even though they are using democratic as their system, whereas the value itself was left behind and they are using it to cover the dictatory such as the election in Israel. It seems odd on how Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu in democratic state has been elected multiple times and if we want to calculate, it has been 15 years in total. We can look at other democratic states and we will find most of them were electing the different president or prime minister and within the long-run administration nor there is a gap between another election. Need to be underline that Israel has been held 5 elections in 4 years. One of the consequences by having frequent election is hindering long-term plans for the country. Whereby, the Israeli were electing the same candidate in order to preserving the Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans. As far as I am concerned, it will be considered abusing democratic system since the candidate has the powerful influence in compare to the other candidates. Israel was neglecting the democratic values such as freedom for believing whatever somebody wants to belief. Despite the controversy within the government system, Israel has also been getting support by Evangelical Christians in America.

     The majority of Americans are believing in Christianity and 30%-35% of them is following Evangelic Christian. Evangelical Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus and the Holy Land was meant for Jewish people and labelled Jewish as the chosen people; Thereby, both of them are now pursuing the coming of Messiah or Jesus by occupaying Jerusalem. On the other hand, the Zionists want to build the Third Temple of King Solomon which has been destroyed by Babylonians and Romans, but they need to sacrifice red cow first due to “Purifying” the land in order to re-build the Temple. Based on Christianity, when the Apocalypse come, all human on earth will either convert to Christianity or being murdered. On the other side of the fence, Jews belief the second coming of the real Messiah and all of the human who are not Jews will be slave for Jews and live under Jews control. Evangelical Christian and Jews who are pursuing the end of day seem to eating each other and it does not make the correlations between them. Furthermore, both of them are expecting different outcome from the same process. Beside of that, Evangelical Christians are neglecting their own community from Zionist and illegal settlers in Bethlehem, West Bank.

     In the field, Christians are not being perceived well such as Arabs in Israel. Matter of fact, Israel is more leaning towards liberal secular Jewish side and far-right wing party. Extremist Jewish in Israel has been made conflict among Christian members such as preventing Christians to attending the worship day, Israel forces were blocking the way when Shireen Abu Akleh who is Christian American reporter was going to burry after she had been shot by Israel’s soldier, spitting in front of church. How devastating it was when some people in community with the same belief were funding and hardly assisting the oppressor for enforcing the apartheid. They forgot and betrayed their own community by arguing that Christians who were felt oppressed in Bethlehem by Israel are not understood bible enough. On the other side, medias are afraid to inform about churches were being tarnished and the discrimination in Israel merely because they are Christian. In addition, some of the civilians in Israel were trying to call police in order to arrest somebody whom preach about Christianity in the middle of city. It was fascinating on how “democratic” state is not allowing somebody to share their own thought or belief. If Christians are not being perceived Israel, then Christian outside of the border such as Gaza and West Bank will get much worst treatment from Israelis whether it is from Israelis, IDF soldiers, Israel’s personnel in government system. The oppressions are not merely for Muslims and Christians, yet it also happened within the Jewish community in Israel as well.

     Recently, Israel has been passed bill about conscription among Jewish people. It will be contradicting the argument concerning Israel is the safeties places for Jewish people. They were explicitly showing anti-sematic itself to their own people by putting them onto danger situations. It is not considered safety state if the settler were getting draft in order to assisting the military which could made some of them got murdered by their enemy. Israel was using Jewish as a shield to justified the genocide and to “protect” Jewish. Thereby, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community were protesting due to Supreme Court rules. They said as a Jews, they should be a servant for God and stick to Torah. Consequently, polices were beating some of them because of the protest of Orthodox Jews. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish what is meant to be a Jews if they were using the mask nor mixed and tarnished underneath the Jews name in order to pursue massive violence.

     As a result, Israel will not cease until they get what they want which are the full authority of the holy land, the establishment of Greater Israel, the return of the real Messiah. Israelis’ government should be punished due to war crimes towards indigenous such as discrimination, apartheid, genocide, ethnic cleansing, blocking aid and humanitarian supplies for Palestinians in Gaza. As long as another country let it slide and world organizations were not taking firm actions, Israel will continue their occupation. The quantity of Palestinians who got killed by Israeli attacks will be increasingly rising up if none of the world organizations take active measures in order to address Israel’s war crimes and prevent more people get injure or die in Gaza and West Bank.
