The Ummah is in Catastrophic Turmoil

Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal

The Israeli genocidal war crimes in Gaza have been continuing for about two years. If Israel continues the same war crimes for another two years or more, who can stop that? None. Israel doesn’t face  any red line, only enjoys green lights to kill more, to destroy more and to occupy more. The UN Security Council tried to stop the war four times in the past, but each time, the US -the prime sponsor of the war vetoed it to keep the green signal for the Israeli war criminals continuing. The UN Rapporteur on Palestine Francesco Albanase told on 3 July that the war of gencide has  become an economy of genocide. The western companies are now profiteering from the war. She labelled the war apocalyptic. The WHO in-charge for Palestine described the only functioning Nasser Hospital as a huge trauma ward.   

The Israeli war is in fact a US war; financed by the US, armed by the US and politically cum diplomatically supported by the US. The US intelligence is sharing the necessary spy information with Israel to help target anywhere in the Middle East and in Iran. The former US President Joe Biden once described victims in Gaza as human shields, thus justified the Israeli war crimes. What a poor level of insight to see the facts on the ground!

Since the inception of this illegal state, Israel has been working as a West’s perfect proxy in the Middle East to stop the emergence of any Islamic power in the Middle East. Since the US and its allies are highly intoxicated with Islamophobia, can’t tolerate any state that has any Islamic identity. With the Western support, Israel could successfully undo the democratic verdict of the Palestinian people in the 2006 parliamentary election that was won by the Islamic Hamas against the secularist Fatah. The government formed by Hamas was not recognised by the Western countries although it was a free and fair election certified by the former US President Jimmy Carter. Mr. Carter was appointed by the UN to supervise the election. Israel -along with the Arab tyrants, could also undo the Egyptian presidential election in 2012 which was won by Dr. Mohammad Morsi -the Islamist candidate of Ikhwanul Muslim. Thus Israel and the Western states stand as arch enemies of democracy in the Middle East. They make friends only with the tyrannical monarchs.

In the Western countries, like the US, the UK and the EU, the Israeli war crimes in Gaza are no more news. Now it has become a favourite sport for the Israelis. These sadistic people are enjoying their own crimes. Even tour visits are arranged to enjoy the destructive horrors of bombing effects in Gaza. The International Criminal Court (ICC) indicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for committing  war crimes. But the US President Donald Trump became very infatuated with such ICC indictment. These Western warlords want to ensure full impunity for their own and the Israeli war criminals.    

On the other hand, the Arab tyrants don’t want to spoil their comfort and luxuries by standing with the poor victims of the Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Gaza has no material and strategic importance for them. Rather, they find Palestine a hot spot to disturb their own rule. The common Arab people can’t do anything either; they, too, are under rigid captivity. Their own countries are no less than Israel to crush any street protest. Protests on the streets in support of Israel is a punishable crime in most of the Arab countries that are run by the autocratic tyrants.  

The other parts of the Muslim Ummah are also powerless to do anything. Only Iran showed some courage. As a result, Iran lost its top generals and scientists, and also suffered huge damage on its nuclear and economic infrastructures. By taking an anti-Israeli stand, Iran endangered becoming another Gaza. Since Iran is not a lame duck and possesses the power to hit back and some strategic leverage, the US stopped bombing Iran to avoid further damage on Israel and the US installations. Since Gaza has no such power and leverage suffers as a sitting lame duck. On the other hand, the apocalyptic war crimes in Gaza have become a matter of huge laughter, jubilation and celebration in the Israeli civil and military circles. Videos of such sick celebrations are appearing on youtube.

On the other hand, the Almighty Allah SWT has also enough to punish the Muslim Ummah who has been so badly divided and so disloyal of the entrusted duty as His viceroy. What a shame that many of the Arab leaders, instead of standing with the people of Palestinians, are befriending Israel. While the Iranian missiles were moving towards Israel, some Arab countries like Jordan tried to stop that. But they opened their sky for the Israeli missiles and drones to move towards Iran. The Israeli war on Palestine gave enough opportunity to know the depth of inhumanity and barbarity of the Isaraelis. The war exposed the death of morality and humanity in the West. It also exposed the Muslim Ummah’s own cowardice, betrayal and immorality. 05/07/2025
