If Israel Is A Country, It Is Borders Not Boundaries

Who is willing to say the people of God are wrong? A subject no one wants to talk about. The Israeli people are considered the people of God. They can not be wrong. Reading the Holy Bible shows that many times the people of God have been wrong.

For 20 years I have monitored issues in Israel. Most of the fighting has been about borders. This time many of the incidents sound like genocide. The Jews know, according to world history, more about genocide than any race.

Israel and Hamas are currently going through the United Nations Security Council for an “immediate durable and fully respected cease-fire” as a result of the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The word Hamas is Arabic and means “Islamic Resistance Movement”. Hamasis a Palestinian Sunni IslamistParamilitary Organization/Political Group that holds the majority of the seats in the elected legislative council of the Palestinian Government. Hamaswas created in 1987 by the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is notorious for suicide attacks, the international community should consider them “terrorist” and “para-terrorist”. Hamas is popular among Palestinians in Gaza Strip.

Israel is the world’s only majority Jewish state. Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Samaritans also live in Israel. After World War I the League of Nations’ British Mandate of Palestine was for land for the state of Israel. In 1947 the United Nations partitioned of Palestine into two states one Jewish and one Arab. On May 14, 1948 Israel declared independence.

The results of the fighting in Gaza Strip caused the International Committee of the Red Cross and United Nations Relief and Works Agency to convoy food, fuel, water, electricity, medical supplies, and ambulances.

The use of rockets by Hamas is a concern. Do the rockets have nuclear war heads? The U.N.’s decision for withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Palestinian enclave isolates the Gazans. The separating of family members and lack of medical attention to the point of bleeding to death sounds like forms of genocide.

Israeli forces opened gunfire on United Nation’ s food convoys that were U.N. flagged and insignia-ed, there is acute shortages of food, fuel, electricity, and medical supplies, and corpses of children found from accused Israeli denial of Red Cross ambulances into neighborhoods in Zeitoun at the edge of Gaza City. Israel is also being accused of failing meet obligations to care for the wounded in combat areas.

Quanta Cura and the Syllabus of Errors discusses the rejection of the duty of Nations and our errors in modern civilization like “freedom of conscience,” that is still occurring today. This book was written by Pope Pius IX.

The killing of innocent women and children, tank gunfire on U.N. food convoys marked by U.N. flags and insignias, and gunfire on ambulance convoys tells that many nations rejected their duty until the stories became unbelievable. The United States of America obstained from voting on the resolution for an “immediate, durable and fully respected cease-fire,” a continued rejection of duty. The United States is one of the most powerful countires in the world and needs to examine its position on “World Peace.”

The book Changing Commands: The Betrayal of America’s Military discusses the conversion of America’s military form defender to enforcer. The Los Angeles Times also tells of the “presidential statement”  to the United Nations Security Council, wanting a less-authoritative role with the Israeli-Hamas cease-fire.

What’s Wrong With The World? is not only a book, but a question. The Israeli-Hamas issue is a social and moral issue. Journalist stories are of families being separated and killed. Not allowing emergency vehicles in, many are bleeding to death.

The issue also sounds racial. When African Countries commit acts that question Human Rights and are criticised for offensives on humanitarian grounds, like Israel has, more agencies than the United Nations and Red Cross are called in and  observe.

Racism is not just a national problem, it also looks international. As a Black-American women, I see the racism of my own country. In studying international issues, I also see other countries’ racism. Racism is not exclusive to Black-Americans. It looks like genocide is not exclusive to Africa.
