It’s not a fictional “Monster” movie

It’s not a fictional “Monster” movie

It’s not as if the “Monster” came out of its cave for the first time yesterday. This “Monster” has been around since 1948, with the various wars and military conflicts with its neighboring countries. 

Here’s a list: 

Since 1948, Israel has been involved in several major wars and numerous military conflicts, primarily with neighboring Arab states and Palestinian armed groups. Search NAKBA.

Major wars

1948 Arab-Israeli War (War of Independence): Immediately after Israel’s declaration of independence, a coalition of Arab states—Egypt, Transjordan, Iraq, and Syria, invaded the newly formed country. The fighting resulted in an Israeli victory, solidifying its borders and leading to a significant Palestinian refugee crisis.

1956 Suez Crisis (Sinai War): Israel, with Britain and France, invaded Egypt to regain control of the Suez Canal after it was nationalized by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Under international pressure, the invading forces withdrew, but the conflict bolstered Nasser’s standing.

1967 Six-Day War: In response to threats and military buildups by its Arab neighbors, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The conflict ended with Israel capturing the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights.

1967–1970 War of Attrition: This was a limited war fought primarily between Israel and Egypt, with assistance from the Soviet Union for Egypt, involving sustained artillery shelling and aerial attacks across the Suez Canal.

1973 Yom Kippur War (October War): Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The war initially saw significant Arab gains but ended with an Israeli counteroffensive and an eventual ceasefire.

1982 Lebanon War: Israel invaded Lebanon to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from its bases, from which it was launching attacks. This led to a prolonged Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon.

2006 Second Lebanon War: Following an ambush and capture of Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, Israel launched a military campaign against the group in southern Lebanon. A UN-brokered ceasefire ended the fighting.

2023–present Israel-Hamas War: Following a large-scale attack by Hamas on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, Israel declared war. The conflict in Gaza resulted in extensive destruction and a humanitarian crisis. 

Major Palestinian uprisings (Intifadas)

First Intifada (1987–1993): A mass Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, marked by protests, demonstrations, and general strikes.

Second Intifada (2000–2005): A period of intensified Israeli-Palestinian violence, triggered by a visit from Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to the Temple Mount. It included suicide bombings and armed clashes. 

Other significant military operations in Gaza since Israel’s withdrawal of settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005. 

Here’s a list of numerous military operations that have occurred in the territory: 

Operation Cast Lead (2008–2009): An Israeli offensive launched in response to Hamas rocket attacks.

Operation Pillar of Defense (2012): An eight-day conflict in Gaza initiated by Israel to stop rocket attacks.

Operation Protective Edge (2014): A major military operation aimed at stopping rocket fire from Gaza and destroying Hamas’s cross-border tunnels.

Operation Guardian of the Walls (2021): An 11-day conflict involving Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and rocket attacks from Hamas. 

Additional and ongoing conflicts

Palestinian Fedayeen insurgency (1950s–1960s): Cross-border raids into Israel by Palestinian militants operating from neighboring Arab countries, followed by Israeli reprisal operations.

South Lebanon conflict (1982–2000): A long-running conflict between Israel and its proxy militias against Hezbollah and other Lebanese guerrilla forces.

Attacks during the Syrian Civil War (2013–present): Israel has conducted numerous airstrikes against Iranian and Hezbollah targets within Syria.

Ongoing Gaza-Israel conflict: The conflict in Gaza has continued in the years since the Second Intifada, with Israel and militant groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad regularly engaging in clashes and military operations.

Ongoing Iran/Israel conflict (since 2005): A “shadow war” of proxy battles and covert operations.

Ongoing Israel conflict (since October 7, 2023): Legal and expert allegations of genocide

Several entities and experts have alleged that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since the conflict began in October 2023.

International Court of Justice (ICJ): In January 2024, the ICJ ordered Israel to take all measures to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza and to ensure humanitarian aid provision, finding it “plausible” that Israel could be violating the Genocide Convention. This interim ruling does not constitute a final judgment on the merits of the case, which could take years.

UN Special Rapporteur: The UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, stated in a March 2024 report that there are “reasonable grounds to believe” that Israel has committed acts of genocide. She noted the scale of killing, the destruction of infrastructure, and inflammatory statements by Israeli officials as evidence of a genocidal intent.

Other UN bodies: A separate UN Special Committee also found that Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza were “consistent with the characteristics of genocide,” citing mass civilian casualties and the intentional imposition of life-threatening conditions.

NGOs and scholars: Several human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and B’Tselem, have accused Israel of genocidal acts. The International Association of Genocide Scholars has also passed a resolution concluding that Israel’s actions meet the legal definition of genocide

In conclusion, I have no argument with the right of the Israeli people to exist, as a sovereign country.

What I have a problem with, along with the majority of the rest of the world, is that the Palestinian people ALSO have a right to exist, AND, defend themselves. 

The root cause that let the “Monster” out of its cave goes all the way back to 1947, when the United Nations proposed partitioning Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, a plan which was rejected by the Arab world. 

Arab states rejected the 1947 UN Partition Plan primarily because they viewed it as an international betrayal, arguing that it violated the principle of self-determination for the majority Arab population and unjustly allocated significant territory to a Jewish state against the wishes of the Arab inhabitants. They pointed out that Arabs constituted a two-thirds majority in Palestine and owned most of the land, making the division unfair and a threat to their identity and homeland. 

Key reasons for rejection:

Violation of self-determination:
The Arab leadership believed that the plan violated the rights of the Arab people to decide their own future and national destiny, a principle enshrined in the UN Charter. 

Disproportionate territorial allocation:
Many Arabs argued that the plan allotted too much land to the proposed Jewish state. 

Arab majority and land ownership:
Arabs formed the majority of the population and owned the majority of the land, making the partition seem unjust and a usurpation of their rights. 

Perceived threat to the Arab population:
The plan was seen as an unfair arrangement that would leave many Arabs in the proposed Jewish territory. 

Concerns about Jewish immigration:
Rapid Jewish immigration and land purchases by Jewish organizations were viewed as a threat to the Palestinian Arabs’ homeland and identity. 

Rejection of a settler colony:
Some Arab leaders saw the proposed Jewish state as an undesirable “settler colony” that was brought about by British policy allowing extensive Jewish settlement against the will of the Arab majority.

As in many fictional horror movies, the “Monster” like in Aliens (1986), Predator (1987), and Jaws (1975) were killed in the end. 

In reality, NOT fictional, Zionism IS finally dying a slow death. I believe that we will see the two-state solution come to fruition, and the true followers of the Judaic religion living in Israel, will finally be at peace with Palestine, and its Arab neighbors.
