  1. I wonder why the whole world is keeping silent while Palestinians are getting murdered, home demolished, trees uprooted, starving and water taken a way from them. This is an international conspiracy has been perpetrated by every Country including the United Nation. The situation in Palestine defys any and all human rights and human decency.
    How long are we expecting the Palestinian to hold????

  2. Ziyad,

    While certain parties do privately gain from wars, wars are primarily fought for territory and only secondarily for dominance and exploitation. Over time, real estate is quite valuable.

    The neo-colonial paradigm does not require military occupation for dominance and exploitation.

  3. Saddam Hussein President of Iraq was the only true friend and financial supporter of the Palestinian Arab People and they hanged him for that.
    Shame on Arab Governments whom are collaborating with the enemy of Islam but they will not be spared on Judgement Day.
