Apartheid State

Palestine, which the so-called leadership of the International Peace allotted to Israel under their nose, has been under armed attacks of the Israeli forces for the last some days. The Palestinian land which is their own country has once again been narrowed for the Palestinians. Hundreds of women, children and aged Palestinian are being ousted from their own homes. If you type Palestine on the Google Map, it will show you Israel rather than Palestine and little spots on the map will be shown as Palestinian residential areas. So the Google Map shows Israel as a country in place of Palestine and we all are well aware of who administrates and controls the Google Map.

Apartheid, in itself, is a full-fledged term that can be defined in these words that inhuman and racial acts that are enacted to dominate and tyrannize the people of a state and the sole end of these inhuman acts are to remove the former state and take control. This term can be divided into three parts for better understanding. First, a systematic dominance of a state on the other racial state. Second, the organized cruelties did by a state on the other. Third, formulated transfer of state boundaries; establishment of a state within a state, removal of the state's identity in a planned manner and the elimination of the identity and negation of the rights of the citizen of the former state. If we analyze Israel concerning the term and its illustrations under discussion, it’ll be true that the Israelis have been in the pursuit of their achievements for a specific time by the persecution of innocent Palestinian Muslims. Israel is not alone in this devil designs rather several major stakeholders are seen standing on the back of Israeli authorities. The International community, just like on Kashmir Issue, is silent and ending the crisis by only passing resolutions which are paperwork. Under the shelter of ethics and morality, the international organizations request the parties to sit down together, with peace and cooperation to resolve their disputes.

After the defeat and end of the Ottoman Empire in World War-I, the British took control of Palestine. During that era, both the Muslims and Jews inhabited it. The situation got worse for the first time when the international community assigned the British the responsibility to necessitate the Jewish settlement in Palestine. Then from 1920 to 1940, the Jews started making Palestine their home after fleeing from Europe. During World War II, German leader Adolf Hitler and Holocaust forced the Jews to leave Germany and made them a lamentable picture just like the Muslims of Palestine are being portrayed. A Hollywood movie, "The Pianist" reflects the same picture in which the Jews are painted as the oppressed. On the illegal settlement of the Jews, there have been many wars after which the Jews with the support of the stakeholders of the international community keep occupying Palestinian areas.

Palestine is a 6220 km2 long beautiful country which is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan. 135 countries of the United Nations recognize Palestine as an independent state and they also agree to the illegal and unlawful Israeli occupation over Palestine but the same does not have a united agreement over the boundaries of Israel.

The United Nations and other such institute have passed many resolutions that seem that these disputes will resolve soon. But the so-called Super Power, the United States of America keep backing the Israeli authorities. The current crisis of Palestine is not being taken as a crisis by the top US officials. The journalists continue attracting the attention of the American officials towards this issue but they paid no heed to it. Perhaps the reason behind this ignorance is that the US does not want to take up this crisis seriously. Because the US is solely responsible for this illegal occupation of Israel.

On a side, a wave of atrocities on the Palestinians has been going on for a long time and on the other side, some Muslim countries are of the view that it is the need of the hour to recognize Israel as a state. Saudi Arabian regime stands with the Islamic countries which have recognized Israel. This has been part of the policy of the Saudi Prince Mohammad Bin Salman who has done all this with his friendly former US President Donald Trump. MBS stabbed in the back of Palestinian Muslims and proved that his Saudi interests are dear to him than those of Muslim Ummah. Why does the self-proclaimed Muslim Leader Saudi Arabia not come forward to participate in the present Palestine crisis? Only Turkey stood first among all the 57 Muslim countries and Turkish President Erdogan criticized Israeli aggression openly and he also tried to shake the conscience of the Muslim Ummah.

Pakistani state and it is all governments keep a hard consensus and never recognize Israel as a legal and independent state. Israel is an apartheid state. The international community has kept their eyes closed on these apartheid activities. Every newborn Muslim child in Palestine is a born slave and this is on the shoulders of all those who were on the front lines to make Israel an apartheid state. Do the Islamic countries, which recognized Israel, not have the ability and power to break the relations with Israel? Can the Muslims not weaken Israel by boycotting its every product? Can we not republish Holocaust on social Media? We will have to ponder over the answers to these questions?
