Is It Time for Occupation of Israel by Neutral UN Nation Members?
It does appear, by all accounts (except the mainstream media ones) that Israel has reached a point in its abuses of Palestinians and its own people (with the stripping away from its highest court of their checks and balances by the executive and legislative branches, etc.) and the access to true reports people now have through the Internet, where it will require occupation by other nations, as Germany did after WWII, to enable it to achieve a just transition to freedom, the rule of law, and safety for all Palestinians — and Israelis.
The past few decades of abuses by the Israelis against the Palestinians, including the tragic and genocidal Nakba of 1948 — which was sadly aided and abetted by Britain (its occupier at that time when Palestine was called by the misnomer: a “Protectorate” of Britain) and the US — have been given little attention in the US mainstream media, but are now finally surfacing being told to widespread audiences around the world, and not just in the Middle East.
Like South Africa and its Dutch colonialists, it is going to have to get used to other nations’ taking an interest in the conditions of the indigenous people of the nation, and the way they have been treated by the colonialists and their imperialist backers.
Many may hang their heads and bewail such inevitable unfoldings in modern-day history, but it is a good thing. The world sighs deep, sad sighs whenever there is extreme abuse of people, no matter where they are. It is time for justice and peace in the Middle East.
It is a sad irony that: 1) The US has become the same kind of imperialist/colonialist power that it fought so hard and lost so many lives to rid itself of in form of England and its crusty aristocracy and monopolies; and 2) Israel has developed into a state that is actually led by certain individuals (who I would estimate that most Israelis do not agree with) who are referring to the Palestinians as “animals,” as Hitler did the Jews during WWII, and are not batting an eye at the huge numbers of civilian men, women, and children who are being killed or maimed in the high-impact bombings and ground attacks Israel has been perpetrating against it.
Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself. And yes, the Hamas attacks of October 7th were war crimes. But Hamas was elected many years ago, and has not allowed any new elections. They most likely are not representative of the will of the Palestinian people, just as the Israeli government most likely is not. One thing is for certain, the killings of civilians must stop, and the destruction of every standing building in Gaza, home to 2 million people, must stop.
Also, the situation at the United Nations, where one veto in the Security Council can stop any motions — even for the stopping of an ongoing genocide — must be amended. It is past due. Because of this one rule, the UN has no teeth or claws to fulfill its primary function: to prevent “the scourge of war.”
