I am always blamed of writing 'emotions' and 'crowd winning' reasons rather than rational one. Undoubtedly this comes from my sector of liberatarian friends. The other rightist are not ready to accept me in their camp.
The recent events have almost forced me to jot down my share in the ongoing war. I see the conflict in following ways.
1) Legally
2) Historically
3) Religiously
4) Politically
The legal perspective is clear: Hizbullah initially violated the International Law by capturing the Israeli soldiers and killing around 5 Israelis. However this only triggered the 'armed conflict' which was containable but later so ferociously the Israeli army violated the International Humanitarian Law and the established norms of all 4 Geneva Conventions. The indiscriminate bombing of civilians and non-military infrastructure was an utter madness and some barbaric acts (recently of Qana) do come under the 'WAR CRIMES'. Hizbullah also has a brief share of violating the International Humanitarian Law by bombing non military targets in Haifa.
Historically i am inclined to take the so called 'wrong' side. I can't forget the incapacity of the entire Arab and Muslim world to take on their enemy. The so cheap way of 'selling lands' to Jews and playing Poker in Aksa, with pimps strutly moving outside is a true muslim history. I also believe as in Quran that 'though we will not like war but it is bound to happen' and some decisions are only possible through war. The unfinished war inflicts further misery. Personally i really wished at least one war to have reached a final CONCLUSION. The battle of Siffin was avoided in the final hours by placing Quran on spears by Muawiya. Unfortunately the Muslim legacy of Siffin will continue, historically speaking perhaps forever.
Religiously, i simply cant bear the sight and plight of miseries of my Muslim brethren. Although even as a human its unbearable but being a muslim, almost unconsciously i feel pain after such events. No matter how much i try to ignore it.
Politically, it is an established tenet that the western world wants no threat to Israel by any state in the Middle East. In exchange they want to guard all their economic interests, and Imperial control.
Lastly i personally believe that Muslims should now accept the right of Israel to exist. Any insane military adventure (whether from Iranian boasts or other Umma interests) is insane. Secondly the WEST MUST understand that their is a HUGE HUGE difference between the REAL terrorist muslim organizations (like AlQaeeda, and other Lashkar, sipahs etc with global visions and more importantly less sympathy in the Muslim world) and Hamas or Hizbullah which are not terrorist but has a legal patronage under the International Law. They are not only democratic but also has a right to carry weapons against Israel.
Unfortunately the principles of Natural Law holds for all time, no community or nation can outstand its cruel test. Ignorance, humiliation, suffering, bondage, occupation and pains can only end once they are accepted. To be victorious ultimately, acceptance of defeat is must. Muslims must understand that their present visions of all kinds are not taking them anywhere.
Lets dare to accept the Treaty of Versailles, or even worse and come out as better humans (understandably better Muslims) after a thorough self probe.....................
