Israel-Hamas war: Defense Reserves join the IDF

 As I am writing this post reporting there is an intense exchange of fire on both sides and the civilian deaths continue increasing. Israel has said that it has around 300,000 reservists who can join the IDF at anytime. We know that on October the 7th Hamas attacked festival goers from the south of Gaza which left around 1400 Israelis dead and hundreds of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. We know of reserves to be used in times of emergency to protect and save lives. This is wrongly misinterpreted to deploy the reserves in the battlefield not as it should be. The situation is getting worse and not as it should.

Israel-Hamas war: Lobbying in the UN

Let us simply put this straight and simple as this – the formation of the UN or the founding of a separate State of Israel the time doesn’t matter which came before or after and for this simple reason the UN came into existence to not differentiate between the rich or the poor. Needless to explain all this is a waste of time and money put inside the UN so long becomes a total waste of time and money if any one simply wants to explain this. Like all they can pick up the pamphlets and leaflets available or can simply make a request for it like a member requesting for a book that is unavailable in a library. It is important to put a full stop now or never in the future if is lobbying allowed to continue or make its presence inside in the UN now or in the future. I know it in my heart well and fully that the UN or any of the arms is not a place for lobby.  

Israel-Hamas war: We are discussing here $105 billion in question

The important question is not whether we should not support or fund our allies and friends judging only by appearances? The money in question is given as free to whomsoever it may go. First and foremost the problem has not been defined. For that reason it is unreasonable to giveaway freely. Also your unused and old clothes instead of being thrown away that can be useful for someone in Israel. We see in the news and the pictures shown to us the Israeli people who have been badly affected because of Hamas are left without food, shelter and clothes. So your old clothes if given to them can be of extreme use to them. Secondly, first the crisis has to be well-defined before any aid is discussed to the affected people in Israel, Ukraine or Taiwan. Unless and until the first two stages in defining the problem is not completed discussing or also thinking of sending an aid free-of-cost without anything materially or monetarily in return is a waste of the time and missed opportunity and the subj

Israel-Gaza war: Humanitarian assistance having consequences

 The $100 million in aid to Gaza is on its way to Gaza and is stationed at present in Rafah Border. To those of you missed on some of the recent developments, this aid was pledged to assist the people in Gaza who are going through an unexpected crisis at this moment during his recent visit to the Israel following chaos in this part of the world after Israel failed to defend itself which is the result of this crisis. The aid assistance is from the US by President Biden. However, not to mention of the consequences, soon after the assistance was approved by the US House of Representatives the US State Department has issued an official statement to all US citizens living and staying abroad the consequences could be as a result of this. We have not seen any progress in the situation which is expected after any US President’s visit to any region in the world. There are plenty of developments in and around the region in the present moment. Since it is Saturday morning, local time from where t

Israel-Gaza war: No ground attack by the IDF as of now

As of the latest update on Thursday morning from Jerusalem we have received information that there will not be ground attack in Northern Gaza at least for the next 24 hours as reported by news correspondent from the ground in Jerusalem as early as the 13th day on Thursday morning. Following the degradation of Hamas, Israel has warned Iran not open up a second line of attack in Gaza. Following the unrest in Gaza western countries the US and the UK have asked their citizens not to travel to neighbouring regions like Lebanon where there has been a spate of protests following the evacuation orders by Tel Aviv from Northern Gaza to the residents of Northern Gaza which is more than a million Palestinians living in Northern Gaza. The evacuation order from Tel Aviv has sparked worldwide protests as far as US in the Capitol in New York by Palestinians. In the meantime Israel was visited by President Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz extending their support to Israel against anti-Semitism
