 Israel slaughtered Palestinians on almost a daily basis with bombs, missiles, sniper shots and yet from the rubble stood the Palestinians, young and old, starved, humiliated, tortured, maimed for life but their spirit undeterred and strong, they asserted "Palestine, is our homeland and here we Stay!" Israel tried different strategies and methods with support of technology and in the crudest form as well, using dogs assisted with tech to attack in the dead of night women asleep at home, the dogs bit, mauled, dragged the terrorized women out of their homes. Israel claims all its actions are aimed at dismantling Hamas for security reasons. This is not the total picture but a selective view to sustain occupation of Palestine. Israel knows, whether Hamas is dismantled or not, as long as people in Palestine hold the concept of Palestine and being an Palestinian close to their heart, Israel's plans for greater Israel will remain a dream. To erase the identity called Palestinian...

Mr.President Trump, after hinting at his intent for days, now allegedly has stated loud and clear he would like to own another sovereign state, Palestine and wants to remove the entire population of Palestinians from there. For which he is bidding with nations in the middle east, almost creating a new form of slave trade.  The President of US standa accused of:  a) Clearly expressed Genocidal intent, expressed to entire world totally in free will, standing in a position of power as the greatest spender on Military industry.  2. As specified in Article two of genocide convention he state he wants to destroy an entire nation by erasing its existence and using organised crime methods for the same.  3.Totally against the UN charter Article 2 (4) for it "prohibits use of force (which could be physical and psychological) and calls on all Members to respect the Sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of other states.  4. Whether US and Israel want...

  Mr. President, Joe Biden, As the President of United States, you remain accountable for the Crimes Against Humanity & the Tech-Driven Genocide of Palestinians carried out by Israel. This is no a allegation but a statement of fact arrived at by a pure process of deduction, induction, synthesis, integration, and conclusion. A conclusion that can be brought to a halt by You or can evolve in layers as humanity gets exposed to the true darkness of The State of Israel, that assisted by technology looks gleefully at ways of profiting of the genocide. It is Vultures that feed off the dead but when one kills for profit comparing them to Vultures would be an insult to Vultures. Every President of the United States since ex-President George W Bush, have looked at the Persian Gulf as a playground to be managed by Presidential Executive Orders. A region where oil, oil companies, and regional politics, widen the disparity in access to resources within nations of the region. That alongs...

  How can the world know peace,   When US sets the rule as it spends annually $916 billion on military industry and the next in line is too far away to compete with $296 billion dollars to show,  How can the world know peace when US assumes it is its moral duty and right to target facilities of its adversaries anywhere and everywhere, which they seek to keep out of reach, " no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened or fortified" we will get them states Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, He further affirms: " The employment of US Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate US global strike capabilities to take action against these targets, when necessary, anytime, anywhere. This is US James Bond talking as though the world is US playground and all to abide by its rules, How can world know Peace, when one Nation rules the Military Industry and others aspire, How can the world know peace, when Military industry is an industry and Profit a Survival ne...

The concept and term of terror within international debates has been highlighted for its ambiguity and scope for use in different ways. But this instant creates a definitive moment where Terror reign supreme among Palestinians as Israel tries different methods of war and criminal acts on the Palestinian population. An infant bid farewell to this violent world that tortured her with sounds too loud for her heart to endure. She died in her frightened mother’s arms in a matter of seconds, after Israeli bombardment resounded in their place of stay. The devastated mother says “If my daughter had some health issues her passing away would not have devastated me this much. There would have been time to come to terms with her death. But my daughter died from fear, in seconds. She died in my arms in a minute, then they took her away. It all happened in may be 15 minutes”. “From sound of bombardment she got scared. I am her mother, at times, I feel my heart is going to stop”. “With every st...

  United States as the mediator between Israel and Hamas, brings to question what is the role of the mediator, and the basic norms to be adhered to when being the mediator. According to United Nations, International law and US law there are certain common basic elements for being a mediator, it may be useful to briefly address the same. Basic definition is stated to be “Mediation in a voluntary, binding process in which an impartial and neutral mediator facilitates disputing parties in reaching a settlement.” Basic requirements: According to United Nations Guidance for Effective Mediation, Impartiality is the corner stone of mediation, a mediator should be able to run a balanced process that treats all actors fairly and “Should not have a material interest in the outcome”. While UN document does indicate impartiality does not mean neutrality, as a UN mediator he/she is mandated to uphold certain universal principles and values and may need to make them explicitly known to the ...

Internal Conflict in Manipur-Beyond Conventional Approach                             We take pride in being the enlightened species on planet earth and yet in our efforts to secure national boundaries or assert the uniqueness or superiority of our ethnicity we would transgress any ethical boundary to have the winning edge. That is a feeling that has gained strength during my recent visit to Manipur and hence this note. When security measures focus primarily on violence; its means, methods, and analysis or countermeasures it ignores - silent spectators in the conflict zone,  active impressionable minds that are being molded for life. Manipur, a state in the north eastern region of India has been in a conflict situation for over four decades. The state has a population of over 2.5 million residing in 22.327 Sq. Kms of land 90% of the land is designated as hilly terrain and 67% of the population reside...
