• In a year-end review edition of any news magazine, it’s all about analysis of events that have occurred in the year. Predictions and analysis on what to expect in the following year would be touched in subsequent editions.
  • Despite there are just a few more days left to the year, the situation in the Gaza war is so fluid and fast-paced that your editor finds it necessary to give a summary and analysis of these latest happenings first.
  • The prognosis on the Gaza war is turning out to be an attrition war that would ultimately result in a defeat of Israel, as predicted by your editor.
  • This prediction was made even before US Secretary of Defence, Llyod Austin, told Israel that the killing of so many civilians by Israel would turn Israel’s tactical victory into a strategic defeat, and called for Israel to focus on fighting Hamas rather than killing civilians.
  • In making such a statement, Austin is missing the point because tactically Israel has not achieved any victory. It has not even achieved its declared military objectives of destroying Hamas and assert total security control over all of Gaza after almost 90 days of war.
  • What is more astounding is Austin’s statement is a subtle and implicit admission that there’s genocide in Gaza which the US is condoning.
  • For Austin, president Joe Biden and secretary of state Anthony Blinken, they are actually all right with a limited genocide i.e. kill the Palestinian civilians but just don’t kill too many of them.
  • Another indication of the impending Israeli defeat is the withdrawal of its elite Golan unit from Gaza, which is on the receiving end of Hamas attacks.
  • The brunt of these attacks is fully absorbed by the Golan unit that saw many of its officers killed by Hamas, not to mention its rank and file.   
  • In the meantime, the war on the high seas is shaping up to be akin to a naval blockade of Israel where ships entering the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Eden and the Bab al-Mundab Strait were given warning shots by the Yemenis Houthis aka Ansar Allah not to proceed with their journey towards Israel.
  • If this warning is not heeded, the Houthis will then fire volleys of missiles toward the ships either through their drones or missile launchers from their vessels or inland in Yemen.
  • So far all these shots have not resulted in the deaths of the ship crews other than injuries arising from fires on board the ships.
  • The Houthis together with Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq form the Axis of Resistance in order to indirectly help Hamas in its fight against the occupation army of Israel.
  • Initially the Resistance’s objective was mainly to confront the build-up of the huge armada in the Mediterranean and Red Seas sent by the US on Oct 8 to help defend Israel.
  • The confrontation pursued by the Resistance was done in a very systematic way ala the economic concept of division of labour and specialisation.
  • While the resistance movements in Iraq and Syria focus their attacks on US military bases in Iraq and Syria, Lebanon’s Hezbollah focuses on attacking the occupied territory in northern Israel.
  • Meanwhile the Houthis focuses on lobbing long range missiles and drones over the southern cities of Israel where their major ports are located.
  • All these level the playing field militarily as the Hezbollah’s action caused one third of the Israeli army meant for the invasion of Gaza to be diverted to the north to meet the Hezbollah’s challenge.
  • The Houthis’ attack was seen as an attempt to cripple Israel’s economy via destroying its ports, while the Iraqi and Syrian militias kept the Americans busy from intervening directly on Israel’s behalf on the battlefield in attacking Hamas.
  • If anyone dares to say that this is not a level playing field in the war, as Israel is facing four fronts – Gaza, West Bank, Hezbollah and Yemen – let it be known that all these resistance forces are non-state actors with no air force and no air defence system who are facing the might of a regional superpower cowering under the non-sexy skirt of the sole superpower of the decaying unipolar world.
  • As the war dragged on to more than a week, it is obvious that both Israel and the US were not just aiming for a conventional war to destroy Hamas.
  • They are in fact adopting a non-linear warfare, employed mostly by Ukraine in the other war, which disrupts the traditional battlefield, making it difficult for the general public to distinguish between combatants and civilians or between times of war and peace.
  • Non-linear warfare utilises a grand strategy approach, where force-on-force conflict is not the primary objective. Instead, the goal is to create a complex and fluid situation that exploits an opponent’s weaknesses.
  • In the process, the Geneva rules of engagement in a war where civilians and civilian infrastructures like residential buildings, schools, hospitals, mosques and churches are to be protected were bombed with impunity by Israel.
  • Just like in the Ukraine war, the use of non-linear warfare has blurred the distinction between a conventional war and terrorism.
  • Take the case of Ukraine’s drone attacks on Moscow business district, for instance. None of them has any military objective and do not contribute to exploiting Russian weaknesses or even changing the course of the war in favour of a Ukrainian victory.
  • The objective seems to be maximum civilian casualties and severe non-military infrastructural damages.
  • But of course, it is a different matter if the trajectory of the drones/missiles is towards some military objectives and in the process of being hit by Russian air defence system, the debris from the downed drones hit Russian civilian infrastructures causing civilian deaths.
  • Or electronic jamming renders the drones off course and they then crash on civilian buildings causing civilian deaths.
  • In both cases, they are conventional warfare and the resulting loss of civilian lives and wanton destruction of civilian buildings are termed as collateral damage.
  • In the case of the Gaza war, the military objective lies underground not above ground. Why on earth would Hamas dig a tunnel underneath civilian infrastructures that would kill their own civilians?
  • As former Marine officer and former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter said that in a war, the distinction between military and non-military (civilian) installations/infrastructures is clearly spelt out.
  • This distinction does not melt away even if you suspect that the civilian installation like schools, hospitals and refugee camps are being used by enemy combatants.
  • You must have a solid evidence on this which must not be based on either mere or solid suspicion. If it is the latter it is your duty to ensure the solid suspicion becomes irrefutable fact.
  • Only then can you attack the civilian facilities but even then, you still have to be mindful that civilian casualties are at a minimum.
  • Till today, the IDF had failed to prove irrefutably that the Shifa Hospital in Gaza where the attack was the most relentless that it had underground tunnel that acts as a control and command centre of Hamas.
  • According to Ritter, any military doesn’t get to attack a hospital and then go on a fishing expedition to look for proof because that’s not how the law of war works.
  • “You have to have absolute proof or otherwise the object must be treated as an exclusively civilian object protected under international humanitarian law.
  • “As we see right now Israel doesn’t have proof. They are desperately searching for something that can back up the extraordinary claim they made about Al-Shifa.
  • “Where is it Israel, where is it? The fact that you are looking for it (Hamas tunnel) means you did not know for certain it was there. You are guessing and therefore you are guilty of murder, mass murder, a war crime.
  • “Every Israeli officer, every Israeli civilian authority associated with the attack on this hospital is guilty of a war crime and should be prosecuted as such. This isn’t an accident. This isn’t a mistake. The law of war is clear, and Israel has violated it 100%” added Ritter.
  • The US can cry and weep profusely in pleading to the Butcher of Gaza to protect Palestinian civilians akin to a slave pleading to his master, but all these are crocodile tears to soothe its conscience because it is American bombs and ammunitions supplied to Israel that had killed more than 20,000 Palestinian civilians.
  • It is amazing that people like president Biden, secretary of state Anthony Blinken, national security advisor Jack Sullivan and defence secretary Llyod Austin who believe in the existence of God is so devoid of the sense of the fear of God that they see nothing wrong in supplying these lethal weapons and refusing to allow a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza war to take place.
  • They seem to forget that accountability does take place in the other world, where all the Palestinian civilians who died will demand an accounting of their fate from God.
  • Where is their belief in the God of Love that will spread everlasting peace and goodwill among men on earth?
  • Perhaps they believe in the existence of an “unjust God” or that the day of reckoning in the other world is just too far away in the distant future that they can forget about it.
  • But sometime God, even an “unjust God” that they seem to believe, will mete out punishment in this world which is akin to living in a worldly hell, before reserving the harshest eternal punishment and damnation in the other world.
  • Just look at the trauma and fear of many Israeli soldiers who had enjoyed killing innocent Palestinian civilians having nightmarish vision of being haunted by their victims coming to them asking, “why do you kill us”, until they have to spend sleepless nights wetting their pants.
  • During the early days of the war, the US and the Axis of Resistance did not want an escalation of the Gaza war to morph into a regional war that could lead to a world war, where millions would be killed and the global economy would suffer irreparable damages as the Middle East is a very important node for international trade where oil and gas are found in abundance.
  • The demand of both Hezbollah and the Houthis is for a permanent ceasefire that would stop the genocide of the Palestinian civilians.
  • As Israel escalated the war by killing more Palestinian civilians, Hezbollah in tandem escalated it with using more sophisticated guided rockets and ammunitions.
  • Israel even took a “side-dish” attack on the Syrian army position and civilian infrastructures while fighting Hamas, whereby the Syrian militias not directly affiliated with the Syrian army responded by attacking US military bases in Syria.
  • It is important to note that the Hezbollah attack on Israel did not result in the death of Israeli civilians while Israeli attack on Lebanon was targeted at civilians when a Reuters reporter covering the war on the Lebanon side was killed by Israel’s shelling.
  • According to all journalist present at the location, the shelling was purposely aimed at them which was eerily similar to the way American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was targeted and killed in 2022.
  • After relatively more Lebanese civilians was killed in Israeli attacks, Hezbollah did not mince words when it warned it will retaliate in kind if Israel continues to persist in its attack of civilians.
  • Hezbollah kept its promise and fired a barrage of missiles at an Israeli illegal settlements at the border with Lebanon in retaliation of the killing of its civilians by Israel.
  • Meanwhile the Houthis having discovered that its missile/drone attacks on the southern cities of Israel was “ineffective” due to the presence of US warships which shot down the missiles/drones, it then changed tactics by targeting ships owned, operated by Israeli companies, or carrying the Israeli flag at Bab al-Mandab straits.
  • This campaign has been effective in cutting off the Eilat port by striking at vessels in the Red Sea, and then extending the range of strikes to the eastern Indian Ocean where it meets the Arabian Sea.
  • As the US was still “gung-ho” about forming a coalition of the willing to confront the Houthis on the high seas, the US Central Command and the UK Maritime Trade Organisation learned that the oil tanker MV Chem Pluto had been hit by an exploding drone in the Indian Ocean 1,600 kilometres east of the Red Sea and Yemen coast on Saturday, December 23.
  • Eilat accounts for 45% of car imports to Israel and 5% of all the goods imported to Israel by sea. The Houthi campaign has cut the port revenue by 80% since October 7.  
  • The impact has now expanded to all shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Indian Ocean if their management and ownership are based in the US and the European states allied with Israel in the Gaza war, and also with the US in the war against Russia in Ukraine.
  • This as your editor mentioned earlier is tantamount to a naval blockade of Israel.
  • The US has foreseen this event even before it happened, and seeing the danger to Israel’s economy this will cause, Austin visited Israel to discuss about creating a naval coalition of the willing to confront Yemen under Operation Prosperity Guardian, further escalating the situation.
  • Austin then boasted that some 20 countries have agreed to join the coalition and in a sign of US’ international “isolation” he mentioned that some countries in the coalition requested that their participation must not be announced.
  • The plot thickens when Israel’s participation in the coalition was not mentioned.
  • The American then instigated Saudi Arabia to join the coalition and to postpone the signing of its peace agreement with the Houthis, with offers of new military training for the Saudi army and promises to lift an arms embargo on offensive weapons imposed by the White House.
  • The US also failed to anticipate the Russian response to its formation of the coalition of the willing. Because of the proxy war between the two countries in Ukraine, Russia is very distrustful of any US military build-up.
  • Although Russia has already won the sanctions war, the American and the EU have not disavowed the sanctions which means the US could attack Russian ships carrying sanctioned oil cargoes under the pretext of Op Prosperity Guardian or through a false flagged operations which both the US and Israel are very good at.
  • Instead of sending its navy to protect its crude oil cargo ships, Russia via diplomacy has negotiated with both Iran and Yemen for safe passage of its ships.
  • It also belatedly sent a military ship to follow its oil laden ships which remained unescorted near the Red Sea from any US attack.
  • Concurrently with this, its Brics partners China and India had also negotiated safe passage for their commercial shipping with Iran and Yemen and their navies were already in the vicinity of the Red and Arabian Seas.
  • But the tense situation dissipated when Op Prosperity Guardian collapsed so soon after its formation in a further sign that the US is internationally isolated.
  • One by one EU countries like France, Spain, Italy and Greece bowed out from the coalition due to intense bickering among them over the objective of Op Prosperity Guardian.
  • While the Europeans were concerned on protecting their commercial ships and expect assistance from the US navy under the coalition of the willing if their ships were under attack, they discovered the American was more interested in an escalatory war on the high seas with Yemen and Iran.
  • These European countries which do not want to see rival economic giant China enjoying an advantage of uninterrupted and peaceful commercial shipping journey in the high seas in and around the Middle East, did the “unthinkable”.
  • They too follow the lead paved by Russia and China for safe passage of their commercial shipping through diplomacy with Iran and Yemen.
  • The case of Britain bowing out of the coalition of the willing is even more of a tragic and dramatic comedy – its naval ship is not battle-worthy for the war on the high seas and has to be “shipped out” of the operation.
  • In yet another sign of US’ international isolation, Saudi and US officials told theNew York Times Saudi Arabia is “uninterested” in being dragged back into war with Yemen to protect Israeli interests in the Red Sea.
  • The kingdom “would rather watch these latest developments from the sidelines, with the prospect of peace on its southern border a more appealing goal than joining an effort to stop attacks that [Ansarallah says] are directed at Israel.”
  • After eight years of war that saw Saudi jets and mercenary groups decimate the Arab world’s poorest nation, Riyadh is pursuing a new strategy “which leans away from direct military action and toward cultivating relationships with Yemeni factions,” the NYT reports.
  • This approach “is driven by the reality that after eight years of war, [Sanaa] effectively won”. “Escalation is in nobody’s interest,” Saudi foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said in a television interview earlier this month.
  • “We are committed to ending the war in Yemen, and we are committed to a permanent ceasefire that opens the door for a political process.”
  • As for the heightened situation in the area with the Chinese and Indian naval fleet in close proximity, they were there precisely to protect the unescorted Russian oil cargo ships from any potential attack by the coalition of the willing simply because the crude oil was theirs – imported from Russia.
  • If this “naval blockade” of Israeli-owned and international shipping are now blocked from reaching either the Israeli port of Eilat or Haifa and Ashdod from the east through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, the Gibraltar Strait in the west is the gateway remaining.
  • But according to John Helmer in his blog Dances with Bear, even the Straits of Gibraltar is not off-limit to the Axis of Resistance.
  • Helmer mentioned a report by TradeWinds, an Oslo-based maritime publication under a headline indicating that Iran may expand the war to threaten shipping moving through the Gibraltar Strait towards Israel’s Mediterranean ports, Ashdod and Haifa.
  • The Iranian statement on the Gibraltar Strait has been reported in the western press with the qualification that “Iran has no direct access to the Mediterranean itself and it was not clear how the Guards could attempt to close it off” and that “the only groups backed by Iran on the Mediterranean are Lebanon’s Hezbollah and allied militia in Syria, at the far end of the sea from Gibraltar.”
  • The western news agencies and the Anglo-American maritime media appear not to be aware of the capabilities of Algeria, whose parliament has authorised the government to take unspecified military measures against Israel early on in the Gaza war.
  • Algeria’s military is also collaborating closely and recently with the Russian Navy.
  • The possibility of a drone attack on an Israeli vessel near the Gibraltar Strait has not yet dawned publicly, not at least in the mainstream and maritime industry media. More than 100,000 vessels transit through the Gibraltar Strait each year.
  • The result of all these developments is that eerily a day will come when Israel will be starved by this naval blockade just like they are starving the Palestinian civilians in Gaza now.
  • Your editor is reminded of a verse from the Quran: “They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; and Allah is the best of planners.” [Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) 8: 30].
  • Come to think of it the Houthis operation in the high seas is a tit-for-tat operation against Israel’s injustices against the Palestinian civilians, but with a significant difference – not a single civilian was killed so far.
  • The Houthis then is the most moral army in the world rather than the IDF which Netanyahu with Israel’s culture of deceit has claimed to be the most moral army in the world.
  • All these current happenings are consistent with the general theme of global events in 2023 – the failure of the US and its allies to expect and anticipate the unexpected.
  • For once, the US should try to listen to its own conscience and change the theme of events from failure to the success of expecting and anticipating the unexpected.
  • The only way that this success can be manifested is for Israel to stop the aerial bombardments of Gaza that kill Palestinian civilians especially children and women.
  • The US and the EU has the bounden duty to stop supplying weapons, ammunitions and fighter jets to Israel which are being used to kill Palestinians. It also has the duty to enforce a ceasefire to prevent the genocide in Gaza from continuing.
  • No amount of announcement of a ceasefire by the UN – watered-down or otherwise – will make the Houthis stop. It is only when the ceasefire is effectively implemented will the Houthis stop.
  • Public opinion is mainly shaped by the mass media, which used to be limited to the print media (mainly newspapers), and the broadcast media (radio and television).
  • Since the 1950s, television has been the main medium for moulding public opinion.
  • Prior to the advent of mass media, public fora such as coffee houses and gentlemen’s clubs were used as exchanges of opinion and some reputable locations had great influence.
  • With the advent of the internet in the early 1990s, the mass media which was already powerful becomes more powerful still when social media and their influencers made their debut.
  • Public opinion can also be influenced by public relations and the political media. Additionally, mass media utilises a wide variety of advertising techniques to get their message out and change the minds of people.
  • The emergence of public opinion as a significant force in the political realm dates to the late 17th century, but opinion had been regarded as having singular importance much earlier.
  • It’s interesting that William Shakespeare called public opinion the “mistress of success” and Blaise Pascal thought it was “the queen of the world”.
  • In his treatise, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke considered man was subject to three laws – the divine law, the civil law and most importantly the law of opinion or reputation. 
  • He regarded the latter as of the highest importance because dislike and ill opinion force people to conform in their behaviour to social norms, however he did not consider public opinion as a suitable influence for governments.
  • William Temple in his 1672 essay On the Original and Nature of Government, gave an early formulation of the importance of public opinion.
  • He observed that “when vast numbers of men submit their lives and fortunes absolutely to the will of one, it must be force of custom, or opinion which subjects power to authority”.
  • Temple disagreed with the prevalent opinion that the basis of government lay in a social contract and thought that government was merely allowed to exist due to the favour of public opinion.
  • Politicians and other people concerned with public opinion often attempt to influence it using advertising or rhetoric because they realise opinion plays a vital role in uncovering some critical decisions.
  • Sometime they use sentiment analysis or opinion mining to mine the thoughts or feelings of the general population.
  • One of the struggles of public opinion is how it can be influenced by misinformation and disinformation. And this where political Zionism is at its best.
  • It relentlessly cultivates and incentivises politicians and media barons and executives to its point of view through the culture of deceits of misinformation and disinformation in such a way that these people ultimately become beholden to political Zionism.
  • One famous misinformation and disinformation of the Zionist in which “intelligent” people in the US and Britain’s political leadership were duped is the slogan “a land without a people for a people without a land” associated with the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine during the 19th and 20th centuries.
  • Another was the Belfour Declaration issued by Britain in 1917 which was the result of the Zionists in London instigating Britain not to sign a peace deal with Germany to end WWI in 1916 with a promise that they would entice the US to enter the war on the side of the Allies.
  • In return Britain would ensure that once the war is over Palestine was to be made a homeland for the Jewish people.
  • The Belfour Declaration was the “receipt” that the Zionist movement received from Britain for this “real estate” transaction before even WWI has ended.
  • That was how world leaders like Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Joe Biden, among others became committed Zionists.
  • On a visit to Israel in 2022, Joe Biden did not mince words when he said he is a Zionist. And in his recent visit to Israel, he told and assured the Butcher of Gaza and his war cabinet: “I don’t believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist.”
  • The Zionist movement also build powerful lobby movements very overtly in the US and Europe, and covertly in other parts of the world to ensure that world leaders would always be beholden to the aims and machinations of political Zionism.
  • Why do you think then political leaders in the West after making statement, sometime even trivial statement, that will or may offend political Zionism will go out of their way to profusely apologise as if, if they don’t, they will have to commit the Japanese hara-kiri in public.
  • What they will be facing in the event of the failure to apologise is as dangerous as hara-kiri – political blackmail that will ruin their political career, financial blackmail that will render them bankrupt and perhaps in some instances the threat of murder.
  • Look at how president Emmanuel Macron of France after criticising the Butcher of Gaza for being baby killer because of Israel’s refusal to let in fuels to Gaza which has rendered hospitals inoperable and dropping bombs on civilian buildings burying many babies under the rubbles, had to painstakingly explained to the president of Israel that he did not mean to say that Israel (read: the Butcher of Gaza) is killing babies.
  • And this is not limited to just the political leadership. Look at how Elon Musk had to backtrack his promise of providing his Starlink service to the Gazans so that they can enjoy internet services after Israel had shut down the internet in Gaza when he was threatened that IDF will shoot down his Starlink.
  • Musk even got a rare invitation to Israel to meet the Butcher of Gaza to listen to his explanation of the Gaza war from the Israeli perspective.
  • Many people know about political Zionism’s (Israel) influence and control around the globe but most don’t know how deep its interconnection with one another is.
  • Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born American business magnate, investor, and media proprietor. Through his company News Corp, he is the owner of hundreds of local, national, and international publishing outlets around the world, that publishes newspaper and books including in the UK, Australia and the US.
  • He was also the owner of television broadcasting channels Sky News Australia and Fox News through the Fox Corporation, 21st Century Fox (until 2019), and the now-defunct News of the World.
  • With a net worth of US$21.7 billion as of 2 March 2022, Murdoch is the 31st richest person in the US and the 71st richest in the world according to Forbes magazine.
  • Murdoch funds the Jerusalem Foundation which pays for illegal Israeli settlements in Sheikh al-Jarrah. In addition, along with Jacob Rothschild, they have shares in Genie Energy which has deals in Israeli occupied Golan Heights.
  • In 1994, Murdoch appointed Piers Morgan, aged 29 as editor of the News of the World, which made him the youngest editor of a British national newspaper in more than half a century.
  • And yes, Morgan is the famous presenter for TalkTV on the programme Piers Morgan Uncensored, who in turn is famous for repeating ad nauseum the phrase, Israel has the right to defend itself.
  • Morgan also used to work with Norwood Charity whose founder is Mendelson who was the chairman of Labour Friends of Israel and is the head of the Israel lobby, the Abraham Accords.
  • Another web of tangle ending with Zionism: In 2022, Jordan Peterson a popular Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator, signed a content distribution deal with the conservative media company The Daily Wire.
  • In that sense he worked for Benjamin Shapiro, an American lawyer who co-founded The Daily Wire and is also the host of The Ben Shapiro Show, a daily political podcast and live radio show produced by The Daily Wire.
  • In addition, Shapiro is also a columnist, author and conservative political commentator who writes columns for Creators Syndicate, Newsweek and Ami Magazine.
  • Shapiro’s works is funded by Kape Technology whose CEO is Edo Erlichman, who is Israel’s intelligence veteran. 
  • The last example of web of entanglement: British PM Rishi Sunak’s company, Infosys is co-directed by Auri Levine who works for Israeli intelligence unit 80 200.
  • The latter in turn is a surveillance unit that spies on thousands of celebrities and politicians across the globe and they are the heads of companies that we use such as Google, Youtube, Waze, Microsoft, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and so many more. 
  • With these interconnected, powerful and solid web of entanglement, political Zionism headquartered in Israel is able to influence and shape public opinion on almost any matter and issue.
  • It is an invincible web of entanglement that is almost impossible for anyone or entity to unravel and untangle them. But after more than 75 years of its invincible control of public opinion, it is unravelling. Why?
  • The simple answer is since all these tangled webs are created by political Zionism, it takes political Zionism itself to break it asunder!
  • How? By Israel explicitly and shamelessly committing genocide on a huge scale that is seen live by billions of people on Earth via the mass media including social media that they themselves controlled.
  • When the billions of people in the world also see through the mass media the efforts at diplomacy by Russia, Brazil and China along with the Arab and Muslim world to stop the genocide, the visual contrast is so sharp that it creates a critical mass of anger, deep resentment and hatred at what the Zionist regime has inflicted on the Palestinian civilians that pandemonium breaks loose, and a shift in public opinion occurred.
  • This is reflected in the continuous weekly protests at every weekend in the capital of many countries in the world especially in the US and Europe, drawing the participation of hundreds of thousands of protestors from all walks of life including Jews and Europeans who are sick of Zionism.
  • Also the global boycott of Israeli products and the products of companies in the Zionist web of entanglements were very effective this time around that it has contributed to the partial collapse of the Israeli economy.
  • The whole world no longer see the Gaza war as a Muslim or Arab or Palestinian issue but a humanitarian one that affects the very being of humanity.
  • Although victory in the sphere of public opinion is very meaningful, yet it is not complete for as long as a permanent ceasefire to end the genocide does not take place.
  • The US needs to be pressured and isolated internationally to stop the supply of bombs, ammunitions and fighter jets to Israel to end the genocide.
  • If it remains obstinate, perhaps a global coalition of the willing should be formed spearheaded by China, Russia and India to destroy the ammunition, bombs and fighter jets that are being used by Israel to commit genocide.
  • This should be complemented with a UN-imposed sanctions on the US, Israel and the EU states that are still supporting the genocide, starting with an oil embargo followed by financial and trade sanctions on them.
