A Bubble in The Air [Archives:2000/46/Focus]

Sana’a – Rep. Of Yemen
The Intifada is still on high gear inspite of the Sharm Al-Sheikh meeting, which proved a bubble in the air inspite of the pivotal role played by President of Egypt, United States of America and United Nations Secretary General in an attempt to contain a heart breaking crisis in the Palestinian territories.
The leader’s truce reached could not stop the Israelis from brutal killing of Palestine children. The Egyptian government’s influence in Israel which is bound with Camp David agreement could not change the trend of the bloody critical situation. No doubt a lot of time and efforts were put to seek partial solution, apparently focusing on Intifada which is scaring the Israelis.
All words of sympathy and concern echoed in the meeting hall of the peace brokers over and again, fed ears with hopes of peace, which is crying for the moon. Indeed nothing on the ground has changed so far. In another event Arab leaders expressed their grave concern over the crisis in the Emergency Arab League Meeting which was held recently in Cairo. However, it seems that the understanding or agreement reached could not stop the mass killings of the innocent Palestinians children. However, some progress was made in the areas of humanitarian assistance. But unfortunately what could not be stopped immediately is the continuous barbaric crime committed by both the Israeli security units and the armed settlers who are acting in a cowardly manner under the nose of merciless cohorts of Prime Minister Ehud Barak which indeed increasing at an alarming level. The meeting did not change the situation. I must not emphasize the position of Israel to halt inhuman crime nor that the occupier never honored the truce reached in Sharm al Sheikh. The Israeli leaders maintain macho man attitude in any political settlement approach. I wonder how a state of Israel can qualify to be a state while its government is an evil doer. As a matter of fact, use of weapon concept against the people whose land is being forcefully occupied and sieged is totally unacceptable by any existing international convention. Consequently, the Intifada has legitimate rights to expel all monkeys on their ‘shamba’ in there given most horrifying and unbearable situation. The magnitude and excessive use of prohibited deadly advanced weapons on demonstrators is a clear evidence of gross violation of human rights.
The Israelites authorities have the tendency of ignoring or neglecting the Security Council Resolutions passed on various issues including the one pertaining to legal rights of the Palestinians. Painfully the Palestinians had earlier suffered in the hands of the British colonial power while the Palestinian resistance movement could not achieve their patriotic objective to free their mother land as the British presence on the ground was remarkably superior to anything anyone could imagine. The British later conspired and had the Zionist movement take over in an orderly manner, initially as a part of the Palestinian territory under apretext, I believe, best known by the British masters. Likewise the British had shown its wisdom by giving white minority an independence while the majority the black indigenous citizens were ignored and that led to the emergence of a national resistance movement.
Eventually, through bloody struggle the black indigenous citizens took the power and had their honor restored in their country. Today, Zimbabwe is an independent country. However, it should be stated that at the time the state of Israel was forcibly created on the soil of Palestinian the Israelites were not satisfied with what they had grabbed, snatched, seized, raped, kidnapped, killed, forged, perpetrated acts of explosion and so on. The Israeli strategy and long term objectives were set on both programs land expansion and explosion campaign to further marginalize Palestinian populace. Nevertheless, we observed the shift of the British role to a certain extent in support of the State of Israel while, interestingly, the United States of America godfathered the newly born state. It should be said that the Palestinian resistance to the occupying force could have never succeeded due to lack of substantial military and financial support to enable it challenge the aggressors. Since then, the so-called state of Israel remained firm on the soil of Palestine while maintaining a xenophobia platform, a big temptation for more Arab land in the region which cannot rule out an economic exploitation for more Arab land in the region and an economic exploitation of Arab countries in the near future which is being master minded by the agents of Israel. I am really disturbed, simply cannot conceive of nor comprehend how other Arab leaders can stomach Israeli relation today, despite the threat it poses to the security of the Arab region. Leaders! Don’t the pictures of murdered children disturb your conscience enough to cut diplomatic ties or whatsoever links maintained with Israel? How many more funerals the leaders of the world wish to seeing their naked eyes to act rightfully??
