The Nuclear Shadow: Assessing The Unprecedented Hazards Of The Iran-Israel War

Why the Israel-Iran Conflict Threatens Global Survival

Origins of the Conflict

The present war between Iran and Israel is the offshoot of Middle East Conflict. Had this issue been amicably resolved, there wouldn’t be neither Gaza tragedy nor Iran Israel war. To stop this war further escalating, America must play potent role and get the issue resolved according to UN resolution and avoid being a partisan. The American role is very important. The Americans owe serious responsibility to save the world from Third World War. Great Britain philosopher Bertrand Russell in his book titled “Has Man a Future“ writes that Third World War will be a nuclear war and that will be total destruction of mankind. The world needs rational, humane and tolerant leadership to avoid nuclear war. The rash, imbalanced, hysteric and inhumane leadership will destroy the world. Let us briefly discuss the nature of Palestine- Israel crisis before coming to some conclusion.

Relevant UN Resolutions

United Nations General Assembly resolutions include: 1947: November 29, : Resolution 181 (II) Recommending Partition of the Mandatory Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, and international status for the city Jerusalem. Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016), consistently affirms a peaceful settlement based on Pre- 1967 borders, establishing an independent Palestinian state along with Israel living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders.

Zionist Ideology and Religious Interpretations

Has Israel acted accordingly? There is a big No to this question. Israel has malicious intentions. Israel is being run by Zionists. They are relentless religious extremists and racists. They want Greater Israel. According to the Jewish Manifesto written by Theodor Herzl: “A Jewish State is needed in response to antisemitism”. Theodor Herzl (1860- 1904) was a Hungarian-born Jewish journalist and playwright, widely recognized as the father of modern political Zionism. He founded the World Zionist Organization and advocated for a Sovereign Jewish State.

It is interesting point to note that moderate Jews do not believe in Zionism and reject the idea of a Jewish state. The Zionists take it as their religious duty to establish a Jewish state. Unfortunately, some Christian hardliners have also sought some religious sanctions to support the Zionists. These dogmatic priests proclaim that Jesus Christ will come back when the Jewish State will be established in Palestine. After the establishment of the Jewish State, the Jews will hand over power to Jesus and thus Jesus will rule over the whole world. There is no Biblical sanction to such belief.

The Jews had crucified Jesus and up till now, the Jews are the enemies of the Christians as they are the enemies of Muslims. Why they should not hand over the Power to Moses, instead of giving power to Jesus? This idea is created by clever Jews to hoodwink the Christians to get their support to killing the Muslims. This is the reason some Christians support the Israelis. Hence, unfortunately this conflict has become a religious conflict.

The Role of American Politics

Israel is an aggressor and violator of UN resolutions. Why its UN membership is not cancelled? Only because Israel enjoys American support. The Zionist lobby in America is very strong. They finance the American politicians and get their support and sympathies. If the Arabs support them, they will listen to Arabs and Palestine-Israel issue will be amicably resolved. The American senate had several times vetoed the resolutions presented to stop the genocide in Gaza/Palestine. Was it justified to give open hand to Israel to kill seventy thousand innocent civilians of Gaza? Were they animals? The catastrophic genocide of the armless civilians of Gaza is unprecedented in human history. It is even worse than the Holocaust of the Jews by Adolf Hitler.

Analysis of Leadership and Risk of World War

It is highly unlikely and condemnable that instead of amicably resolving the Israeli- Palestine issue according to UN resolutions and OSLO Accord, Israel is widening the spectrum of aggression to unlimited military action and American Jewish sponsored lobby supports the atrocities committed by Israel. The present President of America has made a Group for Peace. Is this Group for Peace or for abating war? Donald Trump is not behaving like Americans, who believe in democracy, justice, peace and humanity. He is acting like a King. His body language is highly questionable. He is out of his shirts. He has financial interests with Israel. His son-in-law is Jewish. How one can expect justice and neutrality from him. Both, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are pushing the world to Third World War.

Ideological Goals and Racial Supremacy

If the Middle East Conflict is solved peacefully, the world will be a better world. The question is as to why Israel is constantly violating international law and putting the UN resolutions into dustbin. The answer is very clear. Israel wants to establish a Zionist Greater Israel. This conflict is not a political conflict. It is the outcome of religious fanaticism and belief in the supremacy and superiority of Jewish race. The orthodox Christians believe that when the Palestinian Muslims will be obliterated from Israel, then the Jewish State will be established and those Jews will hand over the state power to Jesus Christ. So, the nexus of the Zionist orthodoxy and Christian extremists.

Public Response and Global Sympathy

The rational and liberal Jews and Christians do not believe in such myths and dogmas. They consider such beliefs as the product of orthodox papacy and Zionism. This is the reason, in America and in Western countries, majority of people protested against the genocide of the people of Gaza at the hands of Israel. Wisdom prevails over racism. Humanity is still alive. Educated and sensible people strongly condemn the aggression of Israel perpetrated on Palestinians and now Israeli attacks on Iran. Iran is suffering because of having sympathies with the aggressed Palestinians. America being a super power is supposed to intervene and settle the issue amicably but unfortunately, the strong Zionist lobby is very powerful in America. A common American does not support Israeli aggression but is like a bird whose wings are clipped by the scissors of economic crisis. They feel for the oppressed people of the whole world as a nation but their politicians are in the pockets of rich Zionists.

The Expansion of War to Iran and Pakistan

Apart from Israel-Palestine conflict, Israel has opened a Pandora box by attacking on Iran. Instead of abiding by international law and implementing UN resolution, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced to attack Iran and then Pakistan as these Muslim countries are atomic powers. America is being used by Israel. Now, Donald Trump is asking American senate to pass the resolution to attack Iran on a false plea that there is a danger that Iran will attack America. What a hoodwinking plea? It is strongly appealed to the American senate to reject the war mania of Donald Trump and use sanity to avoid Third World War. The present oil crisis and other economic problems are the natural causes and consequences of the heinous policies of Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump. According to UN resolutions and international law, no country can attack any independent country.

Current Military Escalations

The recent war between Iran and Israel is currently escalating, with both countries exchanging strikes and counter-strikes. Israel has launched “wide-scale” strikes on Tehran, Isfahan, and southern Iran, targeting regime infrastructure, including internal security command centres and missile launch sites. Iran has responded with missile attacks on Israel, including a wave of missiles launched under the new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Global Perspectives on International Relations

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have been criticized for their approaches to international relations and conflict resolution. Some critics argue that their actions and rhetoric have contributed to increased tensions and instability in the Middle East.

International Condemnation and Warnings

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has urged Trump to distance himself from Netanyahu, warning that the Israeli leader is “leading humanity to an abyss”. Others, like Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, have accused Trump and Netanyahu of provoking unrest and threatening global peace.

Importance of Diverse Perspectives

It’s worth noting that opinions on their actions and policies vary widely, and it’s essential to consider multiple perspectives when evaluating their impact on world peace. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a complex and deeply rooted issue, with both parties facing serious concerns and restrictions.

Israel’s Security Concerns

Israel’s primary concern is security, given the history of conflicts and terrorist attacks.

Settlement Expansion Issues

Israel has expanded settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which Palestinians consider a major obstacle to peace.

The Status of Jerusalem

Complexity of the Ongoing Issue

These are some of the key concerns and restrictions, but the situation is complex, and there are many other factors at play. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a longstanding and complex issue. Some key points often discussed include:

  • The importance of dialogue and negotiation between the parties involved.
  • Addressing issues like borders, settlements, and Jerusalem’s status
  • Ensuring security and rights for both Israelis and Palestinians.
  • International support for a peaceful resolution.
  • Encouraging open communication and mutual understanding.
  • Supporting initiatives that foster cooperation and coexistence.
  • Promoting education and awareness about the issue.

Humanitarian Appeal and Conclusion

Israel is known as the illegitimate baby of America.

It is humbly beseeched to all peace monger, civil activists, intellectuals, religious enlightened scholars, humanitarians, journalists, writers, sane and responsible politicians, and the governments world over to create awareness and raise potent voice against war and contribute to establishing peace as the existence of the whole world is at stake. Peace is the best policy and humanity is the best religion.
