Cairo’s peace summit, which peace ?
On the agenda of the leaders of 35 countries invited by Egypt’s Sisi there are two topics :the dire humanitarian situation in the Gaza strip under heavy bombing by Israel in riposte to Hamas’s attack on October 7 on one hand and the revival of peace process between Israelis an d Palestinians on the other hand. During his passage in Egypt after congratulating Netanyahu for his magnificent job in Gaza expressing the support of the British government for massacring the Gazans, UK PM Rishi Sunak whose conservative party was severely defeated Friday in the by election and his popularity tumbled to only 24%, met with Sisi cited by saying “This will give hope to the Palestinians once again to establish their Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.” Which hope? 30 years ago, on October 13, 1993, Oslo Accords signed in the White House were supposed to give hope to Palestinians aimed at the creation of their own state on the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital. Many of that time believed this was a step in the right direction but the events that followed over these three decades show clearly that handshake between Arafat and Rabin in presence of warmonger Bill Clinton was a mere deception and a mere Hollywood show as the Palestinians were once more been fooled. As Mustafa Barghouti from the Palestinian national initiative stated “Oslo was the greatest idea Israel ever had. It let them continue the occupation without paying any of the costs” In fact, Israel merely has used the Oslo Accords to buy time, to justify the further expansion of illegal settlements in the territories it occupied in 1967, similar to the Mink Accords of 2015 which were a mere deception to give Ukraine enough time to strengthen its army with the support of NATO’s member states with the main aim, to crush the Donbass resistance opposed to Kiev nazi regime and Euromaidan in 2014. During the negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian delegations, the Palestinian political delegation focused its efforts on negotiating an end to the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Yet, in Oslo, Israel set aside all those issues, including settlements, the status of Jerusalem and refugees, for future negotiations. 30 years after Oslo Accords, with Netanyahu far right government, the prospects for peace between Israel and Palestinians move away day after day contrary to Sisi “hope” . In the current state of affairs, there is no room for peace, there are no two solutions to end Israeli occupation and allowing the Palestinians to have their own state, there is only and unique solution, generalized war in the Middle East and general explosion engulfing all the states of the region with the outcome, shaping the map of this zone similar to the WWI that shaped the political map of both Europe and the Middle East.

Comments on Chinese foreign minister
Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi condemned Israeli bombing of Gaza in a phone call to Saudi foreign minister as going beyond the self defense, aimed at collectively punishing the residents of the Gaza Strip, calling for the immediate cessation of military campaign and return to negotiations. This Chinese statement apparently is contrasting with Russia’s ambiguous position being to generalities without clearly condemning punitive action against the Gazans. It is not clear if such Russian posture for not is due to Ukraine’s conflict, to Russian-Israeli tacit agreement over Syrian conflict or the pression of Jewish lobby inside Russia. In response to Chinese statement about Israeli self defense, looking closely to the very nature of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the principle of self defense enshrined by the humanitarian international law, alleged by the Jewish state following Hamas’s attack does not apply in this case as the Israeli military action in Gaza has only one objective, maintaining the status quo, that is continuing indefinitely the occupation of lands stealed to Palestinian people and depriving them from having their own state inside recognized borders guaranteed by the international law. The self defense alleged by Israel to transform Gaza into rubbles can be compared with the false flag and the false humanitarian intentions used by the US and its European vassals to wage their bloody wars against the countries in the Middle East and Africa over the past two decades. In reference to Chinese foreign minister judging that ongoing Israeli onslaught against the Gazans is going beyond the self defense, one can say the same thing about the US and its European vassals by having a plot in mind when they engineered Libya’s by using the so called the responsibility to protect by imposing NO FLY ZONE whose declared aim was the protection of civilians in Benghazi purportedly repressed by Libyan regime but its hidden objective was to give free hand to the US and NATO to destroy the north African nation divided since like Yugoslavia into warring tribal entities and to murder its leader Muammar Kaddafi.

On the Right to resist
Palestinians expulsed from their homes and lands following the creation of Israël in 1948 have not only the right but also the duty to resist and to organize self defense against illegal order and alien forces. The right to resist and self-defense is subject to the rules of international humanitarian law, including the respect of the principle of distinction between civilians and combatants. But, right to resist, including armed resistance: Yes. Right to indiscriminately kill or target civilians: No. It’s as simple and unambiguous as that. Hamas’s attack can be qualified as act of resistance and self defense and not terrorist action contrary to the hype and manipulation of the western mainstream media. Bombing, killing civilian Gazans, destroying civilian infrastructure, depriving them from food, water, electricity, hospitals, this is not self defense nor fighting Hamas combatants, this is a mere terrorism, genocide, war crime and crimes against humanity. Israel war crimes in Gaza is similar to all war crimes committed by the US in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam war by using Orange and other weapons of mass destruction, during the Gulf war by using depleted Uranium, in Yugoslavia, Iraq 2003, Libya and Syria in 2011. Hamas is one of Palestinian resistance movement but it is not alone, there are many movements of resistance before the creation of Hamas including the PLO. It is worth nothing Hamas was created and funded by the Mossad Netanyahu’s government in order to divide the Palestinian movements of resistance mainly against Arafat’s leadership. One can compare Hamas’s creation by the Mossad and Israeli government to the creation of Muslim brotherhood in Egypt in 1928 by Hassan El Bana supported by then guardian power, the British government, to the Afghan’s Mujahidin and Ben Laden, by the CIA and the support of Saudi and Pakistan’s Intelligence services to fight the USSR, myriad of jihadists mercenaries that destroyed Libya and murdered Kadaffi, ISIS in Syria eliminated by Russia and in Iraq, in the Sahel region where these jihadists used the US and France to destabilize Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger
The current conflict between Israel and Hamas is a practical academic exercise of how propaganda works in general and the west binary mind in particular allowing a comparative with the ongoing Ukraine’s conflict and even back to all bloody wars waged by US and its European vassals Yugoslavia 1999,Iraq 1991, 2003, Libya, Syria. In the western mainstream media, so called journalists and one-sided pundits are just reading the script transmitted by NATO’s psychological warfare making believe to naïve and manipulated public opinion that on the morning of February 24, 2022, Putin, who, get bored after waking up, decided to launch military operation in Ukraine. Giving the main of propaganda aiming at manipulating and hyping and not rationally explaining the facts, the origin of the conflict which is US and European backed coup in Kiev in 2014 has been hidden allowing the spread and the dissemination of NATO’s binary narrative of Russian’s war of aggression against Kiev’s regime depicted as peaceful victim. It the current Arab Israeli conflict, western mainstream media are resorting to the same technique and manipulation of public opinion in US, its European and Israeli vassals aimed at hidden to the public opinion the roots of the present war in the Middle East going back to Balfour Declaration in 1917 supporting the creation of Jewish state in Palestine, becoming effective in 1948, the colonization of and usurpation of Palestinian lands. The binary mind, biased and one sided narrative appear when the western corrupt elites and their subservient mainstream media call the Ukrainians to resist till the last Ukrainian what they call Russian aggression while the same political establishment in US and Europe call Hamas terrorist organization to not resist Israeli colonisation and its war of aggression that lasts since the creation of the Jewish state in 1948. While Netanyahu promised to transform Gaza into Rubbles and qualified the Gazans as “animal humans” the question that begs, what would be the reaction of the West if Russia has transformed the capital Kiev into rubbles ?
Before the dismantlement of the Ottoman Empire aka « the sick man of Europe », Jews and Arabs had lived thousands yeas on the same land in the then called Mesopotamia (Today Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Palestine) without killing each other. Jews, Arabs, Muslims, Christians had lived thousands of years side by side in the Middle east and during the 500 years of Islamic rule in Spain. The Great Islamic and Arab civilization was jointly made both by Jews, Muslims and Christians who each of them contributed to the promotion all over the world, of Arab and Muslim Science, philosophy, architecture, technique, literature. But, such peaceful coexistence was overturned overnight, has changed with the expansion of European colonialism and imperialism to the Middle East in the aftermath of the collapse of Ottoman empire and its Arab and Muslim countries of the Middle East triggering the scramble for the Middle East similar to the scramble for Africa decided by Bismarck and its Berlin conference in 1885, Before the dismantlement of the Ottoman Empire aka « the sick man of Europe », Jews and Arabs had lived thousands yeas on the same land in the then called Mesopotamia (Today Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Palestine) without killing each other.

Balfour made met with Chaim Weissman, born in 1874 in Motyli (Belarus), who was one of founding members of the Zionist movement along Theodor Hertzel and made with him a deal of mutual help, Weizmann, chemist by profession and the inventor of the Acetone thanks to bacterial fermentation of maize starch and used to produce explosives for the British army during the WWI, in return Balfour signed a document, called Balfour declaration in which the government of her majesty is committed to support the creation of Jewish state in Palestine. We can say without mistaking that today Palestinian tragedy goes back to this nefarious deal between Balfour and Weizmann, inventor of the Acetone used to produce explosives for the British army during the WWI and the oil coveted by the British Empire for its rising industry chiefly for automobile car mainly for the first tanks used on the battlefield during the WWI.
