Middle East Conflict:
The escalation of the Middle East conflict has been a long-standing and deeply entrenched geopolitical quagmire, marred by violence, territorial disputes, and humanitarian crises. Here, it aims to shed some light on the complicity of the United States and its allies in supporting Israeli aggression unconditionally, to brutally flouting international laws and shall have the severe repercussions of their unwavering support, often criticized as blind, at the cost of innocent Palestinian & Israeli lives.
The Complicity in keeping the conflict alive is taking a heavy toll on innocent Palestine and Israeli citizens, The political masters on both sides are reckless and hardly bother to consider the humane approach in establishing the peace between these two warring sides.
It seems the minds behind these ensure that the issue remains unresolved without bringing the two sovereign state solutions a reality. Multiple wars, thousands of lives lost, and still no agreeable solution is visible even by superpowers. It is a sad, shameful, and sorry state of affairs for today’s world boasting of its advancement, development and might but miserably failing on ethics, and morality and has zero value for human suffering and life :
1. Military and Financial Aid:
The United States has been a longstanding ally of Israel, providing significant military and financial aid. This support, often surpassing billions of dollars annually, has enabled Israel to maintain a robust military presence in the region. Europe, while not as overt, has also been complicit through various diplomatic and economic ties.
2. Veto Power at the UN:
The United States, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has consistently exercised its veto power to shield Israel from international condemnation and sanctions. This has hindered the UN’s ability to enforce resolutions critical of Israel’s actions and policies.
Neither the influence yielded by the US is being used to settle this issue permanently as per different US resolutions agreed by both parties. This superlative power has been consistently misused by these super five nations at random for their self-interests thus displaying their double standards and hypocrisy. They have little to do with those who are suffering & inflicted endlessly.
3. Strategic Partnerships:
Both the US and European countries have maintained strategic partnerships with Israel, sharing intelligence, technology, and military expertise. This collaboration strengthens Israel’s military capabilities and further entrenches its position in the region. This imbalance will always keep the security risk high in the region. The reason behind this is the prevailing high level of disparity in the social, economic, and political stability of the region.
4. Political Support:
Diplomatically, the US and European allies have consistently aligned themselves with Israel, supporting its policies and actions in international forums. This includes endorsement of controversial moves such as the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem, further fueling tensions. On one side when you school the world on ethics, morality civil society, and democratic values, anti-behavior is being displayed consistently by such support.
Repercussions of Blind Support:
Even though the political and military support of Israel by the superpower and its allies overpowers the weak side today we can not expect the light of sustaining peace in the region unless a bilateral, mutually agreed solution with clear boundaries & devised in a just way is accepted and put in place.
1. Humanitarian Crisis:
The blind support to Israel has perpetuated a dire humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza and the West Bank. The blockade, restrictions on movement, and periodic military offensives have resulted in immense suffering for the Palestinian population. The right to freedom and democracy is being compromised by the might and against all common civil sense.
2. Loss of Lives and Displacement:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has led to a significant loss of innocent lives, with Palestinians majorly bearing the brunt of the violence. Additionally, numerous families have been forcibly displaced, exacerbating the already dire living conditions in the region.
3. Erosion of International Laws:
The repeated disregard for international laws and norms, despite several UN resolutions condemning Israeli actions, harms the credibility of global institutions. This dangerous trend signals that powerful nations can act without consequences, which weakens the foundations of international law.
4. Radicalization and Global Terrorism:
The ongoing conflict contributes to the radicalization of individuals and communities, fostering a breeding ground for extremism. The perception of injustice and the suffering of the Palestinian people can be exploited by extremist groups, amplifying the risk of global terrorism. It is also a proven fact in history that to counter a terror by terror never brings permanent peace but has always a risk of rebound and renewed urgency. Nevertheless, any act of terror that continued forceful coercion, suppression, and occupation had always proved a fruitful breeding ground for erupting another terror.
5. Impact on World Order:
The complicity of the US and Europe specifically and the silence of the rest of the world as usual in controlling Israeli aggression disrupts the balance of power and respect for international law. It weakens the credibility of efforts to establish a just and peaceful world order, with selective application of principles undermining the foundations of diplomacy and cooperation.
The complicity of the United States and Europe in Israeli aggression has far-reaching consequences for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader global order. The blind support, manifested through military aid, diplomatic shielding, and strategic partnerships, not only perpetuates human suffering but also challenges the principles of justice and international cooperation.
It is also important for Israel to understand that these supporters are not without any self-interests and are very much part of checks and balances politics in geopolitical importance. Israel must also ensure to emphasize on permanent agreeable lasting solution that guarantees the safety and security of its people. Any innocent life lost is a blot on humanity and accountability goes to those at the helm of affairs and not making sincere efforts to resolve the dispute.
The impact of such actions resonates not only in the Middle East but reverberates globally, as the world grapples with the repercussions of a conflict sustained by geopolitical interests rather than a commitment to a just and lasting peace.
