The Criminal Israel, the Complicit USA and the Silent Ummah

Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal

The UK is historically the father of the illicit state of Israel on an occupied land of Palestine. And the USA has taken de facto the role of a foster father of this illicit state. Along with its illicit birth, Israel has proven to be a textbook case of a state of war criminals. It faces no red line. It bombs and destroys wherever it likes. It has no accountability to anyone. The Israeli Prime Minister has proven to be a war criminal by committing horrendous genocide and destruction in Gaza, therefore has been indicted by the International Criminal Court to face the allegation for the war crimes. But as the foster father, the USA protects the Israeli Prime Minister from prosecution.    

Even if Israel drops a nuke on Gaza or on any Muslim country, it looks, it will be condoned as an Israel’s need for its security. However, the amount of destruction that has already been executed by Israel is equivalent to the destructive capacity of several nukes. It has almost destroyed Gaza, and now has started destroying the West Bank. It has also launched an intensive bombing campaign in Syria and Yemen. It is also threatening to bomb Iran. For all these crimes, Israel faces no fear from anyone. 

The US, the UK, Germany are the active partners in the war crimes. The supply all needed weapons for this ongoing process of genocide and destruction. The USA provides all intelligence support for Israel’s campaign in Yemen and Syria. The UN looks fully incompetent to do any help to stop genocide. It looks that the UN itself has become a hostage under the siege by Israel and the US-led protectors.  

The leaders of the Muslim Ummah of about 1.5 billions looks blind, deaf and dumb. It seems, they see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing. As if, these leaders have no duty towards the helpless victims of Palestine. They, too, show concern only for the security of Israel. So they suggest Hamas to disarm and stop resistance against Israel. As if, resistance against crime is a crime, too. In such a situation of silence and inaction, Israel gets encouraged to continue its crime unabated. 

 The people of Gaza are starving. They are deprived of water, food, medicine, electricity and health care services. These are unbearable. Starving people is being used as a weapon for a silent genocide. But the neighbouring Egypt and Jordan and other Arab countries still maintain normal relationships with the killer regime of Israel. As if they have no duty. It is a great shame for these Arab countries. Such silence is indeed the complicity in the crime. Silence always encourages the criminals.

The common Muslims have a duty, too. They must find a way to help these innocent victims of horrific Israeli crimes. Inaction is not an option. At least they must raise their voices to force their leaders to stand against the Israeli crimes. They must come to the street with a loud voice. They must not forget that they are under the watch of All-seeing Allah SWT. Such silence in front of the criminals is itself a huge cerime. Their criminal silence will never go unpunished. If such a crime of a criminal state like Israel continues, one day they may face the same crime.
