Muslim world failed the people of Palestine
Momin Maqbool
A common question emerging on the minds in the present time is, whether the ceasefire implemented by Israel and Palestine is a victory for agonized Palestinians or a defeat for the Muslim world for not securing blood of Palestinians from flowing in the streets of Jerusalem?
Palestine-a land where everyone-Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together peacefully and were infact joyous. Then declarations of claims of Jewish homeland in Palestine gave rise to the tensions in the region, which resulted in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Despite many peace agreements and two state solution in 1993-1995 Aslo-Accords, the conflict is yet to be resolved of the reason of military occupation in the Gaza Strip and 165 Islands across the West Bank.
Jewish ideas of Greater Israel kept hinged to the job and it resulted in the uncertainty in the region. The belligerent occupation on the Palestinian territories triggered tensions and chaos. And this lead to uncertainty, besides revolutionary movements and protests. Even though a severe movement for change was initiated but these movements did not change the fate of Palestine and the result was that the conflict changed into oppression and agony.
The Zinoits oppressed the Palestinians since the conflict began. The same regime showed its tyrant face when its Supreme Court planned the eviction of six Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah. (Sheikh Jarrah is a part of Palestinian territory that Israel currently holds under belligerent occupation).
The expected decision of Supreme Court triggered protests in East Jerusalem. The peaceful protesters got attacked by military of Israel which lead to the violence in the region. Violence started from 6 May 2021.The violence took into its sway hundreds of innocent people of Palestine, whose flaw was only that they were citizens of Palestine. Israeli Airstrikes left many homeless, many in void of their families and many separated from their beloved ones.
Imagine a state existing nowhere occupies land of Palestine with no legal accord. Then oppresses the people of same land for resisting their plans and ideas. Then they attack the same people, kill them and call it self defence. And after all the destruction of their peace and broken shelters they implement the ceasefire. Ceasefire-just to calm down their passion of resistance and not for peace.
And the world remained deaf and dumb. It’s stated that ceasefires are political plots that powerful country hatches to break the rhythm of revolutionary resistance on ground. People of Palestine, celebrate the same ceasefire as their victory. In what way it can be called as win. When the occupation of Zinoists still exist there.
Just the waves of toxic fumes have stopped from blowing doesn’t anyways mean it’s a victory for the Palestine. The toxicity of oppression is still there though covered under the blanket of ceasefire. We never know when the curtains are going to be lifted again and the waves start blowing the same way or may be with more toxicity.
How come it can be a victory for them: If this victory cant bring back Rafeef Abu Dayer, an 11 year old kid who got killed by an Israeli missile.
If it is not able to get back family of Suzy Riyad who is the only survivor of her family now.
If this can’t bring back voice the words of Yousef Abu Hussain,a journalist of Gaza who was killed just for being a dweller of Gaza.
If it’s not able to answer all those who lost their beloved ones to the war, it’s not a victory perhaps.
Especially for a Muslim world it’s a defeat that despite being able to act, they failed and failed miserably. They could not stop the killing of innocents across Palestine and Jerusalem.
