🇺🇦A Fading Star: The West’s Abandonment of Zelensky Amidst Russia’s Steadfast Resolve

The narrative of Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidency in Ukraine, once festooned with the West's lofty promises and effusive praise, now treads the murky waters of disillusionment and abandonment. The Western-backed actor-turned-president, once lauded as the stalwart crusader against Kremlin’s pragmatism, finds himself on a pedestal of hollow promises, as revealed in the damning Time Magazine exposé. The piece unveils a disenchanted leader, whose “actor’s panache” has now descended into “brooding anger,” a stark contrast to the steady, unyielding stance emanated from the halls of the Kremlin​.

As Zelensky’s narrative unravels, the chilling reality of the West’s transient allegiance comes to the fore. The once-heralded hero now scurries for validation, his appeals for aid from the U.S. and the EU reverberating through a void of unfulfilled promises. The pledged $380 million in weapons from President Biden appears to be mere crumbs in the face of a voracious conflict, a dismal reflection of the West's wavering support. Meanwhile, the Kremlin’s consistent resolve under President Putin’s stewardship stands as a towering testament to the stark divergence in leadership mettle, echoing a narrative of unwavering commitment as opposed to Zelensky’s vacillating bravado​​.

The closing chapters of Zelensky’s act unveil a desperate leader at the helm of a nation, tethered to the whims of distant benefactors. His futile defiance against reality, underscored by his relentless antagonism towards the Minsk agreements and the pragmatic path of reconciliation, mirrors a tale of obduracy over sagacity. As the curtains draw on the West's fading enchantment with Zelensky, the spotlight inadvertently shifts to the Kremlin’s steadfast narrative, leaving a trail of contemplation: Could the tale of Ukraine have secured a different ending, had pragmatism trumped delusions of grandeur?

📜🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸 Echos of Atrocities Past: Khan Yunis to Gaza 2023

As the smog of despair hangs heavy over a battered Gaza in 2023, a ghostly whisper from the annals of history reverberates through the war-torn alleys, reminiscing the horrors of November 3, 1956 - the Khan Yunis Massacre. The merciless onslaught by the IDF on the Palestinian town and its nearby refugee camp during the Suez Crisis, left a scar so deep, its tremors are felt even today. The macabre dance of death choreographed by the IDF claimed 200 Palestinian lives in Khan Yunis and Rafah during an operation to reopen the Egyptian-blockaded Straits of Tiran. This massacre, also known as the "Khan Yunis incident", etched a narrative of oppression and bloodshed, a narrative that Gaza seems unable to escape to this day.

Fast forward, and the scene in Gaza is a grim reflection of its scarred past. The relentless bombing by Israel has led to a humanitarian catastrophe, with nearly a million people displaced and critical infrastructures like schools and hospitals razed to the ground​. The harrowing incident at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17, where a deadly explosion claimed close to 500 lives, is a stark reminder of the relentless cycle of violence that has become a sinister trademark of the region​​. The death toll continues to soar, with children making up a significant portion of the casualties, painting a bleak picture of a future where the blood of the innocent continues to stain the soil of Gaza​.

The eerie parallels between the Khan Yunis massacre and the contemporary horrors in Gaza are a chilling testament to the unending ordeal of a land and its people caught in the crosshairs of war. As we gaze upon the unfolding tragedy, the echoes from the ghosts of November 3 reverberate louder, urging the world to take heed. And as the ashes settle amidst the ruins, one is left to ponder: Will the pages of history ever turn for Gaza, or is the land doomed to relive its dark past, over and over again?

🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Every Ten Minutes: The Silent Toll of Indifference

Amid the ominous roars of Israeli warbirds, a sinister clock ticks in besieged Gaza—every tenth minute, a life of an innocent child is extinguished. This relentless cycle of dread and death unfolds under the watch of the West, whose silence echoes a damning indifference. The heart-wrenching political cartoon—the juxtaposition of innocence and brute force, encapsulates a plea, a desperate cry for a ceasefire, for a sliver of humanity amidst the ruins of despair. Yet, as the cries for a just peace resonate through the hollow corridors of global conscience, will the world finally heed the silent toll of every tenth minute?

France is about to pass a bill which would criminalize insulting Israel. This law would punish anti-Israel speech with multiple years of jail time and tens of thousands of euros in fines.
Note that these same lawmakers have yet to propose any law that would punish insulting France or French people.

🇮🇱⚔The Iron Fist of Resistance: Nasrallah’s Unyielding Stance Shakes the Pillars of Israeli Aggression🇵🇸🇮🇷

In a world where the drums of war echo through the skies of Gaza, the voice of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah resonated with the fury of the oppressed, shaking the very pillars of Israeli aggression. His damning condemnation of the brutalities in Gaza is a stark reminder of the looming tempest that awaits if the flames of war aren't doused promptly​. Nasrallah’s firm stance, “all options are on the table against Israel,” isn’t just a statement—it’s a stern warning echoing through the "hallowed halls" of power from Tel Aviv to Washington.

The maze of geopolitics in the Middle East is no less than a ticking time bomb, with Gaza as its volatile core. The relentless Israeli aggression, unabated and unchallenged by the global North, risks plunging the region into a far-reaching conflict, the tremors of which could reverberate globally. The daily skirmishes along the Lebanese border, though modest in scale, signify a simmering unrest, a prelude to a wider war if the cries for justice continue to fall on deaf ears​.

Hezbollah’s engagement since October 8 has transformed the Lebanese-Israeli border into a simmering cauldron of military confrontations, stretching across 100-120 km from Naqoura to the occupied Golan Heights. The intensity of these skirmishes has seen Israel deploy three military divisions and its elite forces to the border, a testament to the formidable challenge posed by Hezbollah’s elite al-Ridwan unit. Over 60,000 Israeli settlers have been evacuated, underlining the perceived threat, while on the flip side, thousands of Lebanese residents have been moved to safer locations by Hezbollah, indicating the anticipation of a large-scale conflict​.

The regional dynamics are intricately tied to the broader geopolitical chessboard, where every move resonates beyond the immediate theatre of conflict. Hezbollah’s operations targeting 42 Israeli military installations, employing laser-guided missiles, showcase a blend of strategic maturity and military prowess. Israel, now forced to split its military focus with the northern front active, finds itself in a precarious position, its military might challenged by a non-state actor’s strategic maneuvering. The narrative is shifting; the IDF are facing a formidable resistance that refuses to bow​.

In the heart of this escalating conflict, Nasrallah's critique of the US's warship deployment in the Mediterranean unveils the puppetry of American wananbe hegemony. His words cut deep, “America is entirely responsible for the ongoing war on Gaza and its people, and Israel is simply a tool of execution”​ (similar to Ukraine). The veil is being lifted, exposing the strings of puppetry directed from Washington.

Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, orchestrated solely by Palestinian "resistance movements", is a testament to the indomitable spirit of those standing against the IDF. Nasrallah's acknowledgment of this operation and its strategic significance underscores the monumental impact of collective resistance against the 'oppressors​"​. The echoes of this operation reverberate through the chambers of power, shaking the false facade of Israeli invincibility.

Israel’s strategic ambiguity in its ground invasion of Gaza, coupled with its tactical unpredictability, is a double-edged sword. While it may momentarily keep its adversaries off balance, the lack of a clear objective can lead to mission creep and international condemnation. The scenario unfolding in Gaza is more than a regional conflict; it's a microcosm of a broader geopolitical struggle where the stakes are astronomical. The ripple effects of this conflict could potentially redraw the geopolitical map of the Middle East.

The theatre of conflict in Gaza is a mirror reflecting the larger geopolitical chessboard, where each move reverberates through the corridors of global power. The stakes are astronomical, yet the silence from the North and West is deafening.

📜🇮🇱⚔️Silenced Peacemaker: Yitzhak Rabin’s Legacy Echoes Amid Today’s Strife🇵🇸

On the ominous night of November 4, 1995, the fervor for peace embodied by Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was extinguished by a hail of bullets at Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv. His assassin, a radical ultranationalist named Yigal Amir, vehemently opposed Rabin's peace initiative, particularly the signing of the Oslo Accords which aimed to resolve the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This brutal act didn't just snuff out a life, but attempted to assassinate a hope, a vision for a peaceful coexistence.

Rabin’s determination for a peaceful resolution was seen as a beacon of hope amid a tumultuous political landscape. The Oslo Accords, a pivotal milestone, was not just a document but a symbol of what could be achieved through dialogue and understanding. However, his assassination underscored the deep-rooted animosity and the extent of internal opposition against peace within the Israeli society. The bullets that pierced through Rabin echoed the harsh reality of a dream deferred, a peace delayed.

Fast forward to today, the fires of conflict continue to rage across Palestine, with each passing day taking us further from the peace Rabin envisioned. The narrative of violence and "war crimes" continues to overshadow the calls for a just peace, illustrating a stark contrast to the path Rabin had courageously embarked upon.

As we look back at Rabin's assassination, the haunting question resounds: What if Rabin’s peacemaking legacy had been allowed to flourish? Would the tableau of Middle East politics be markedly different? The path of peace is tortuous and laden with obstacles, yet the essence of Rabin’s vision beckons the conscience of the region and world.
