Gaza-Israel Conflict | October 2023

If you are a moderate country, why did someone like Morsi win the elections? Dont elected politicians get to choose a path for the country? I guess democracy is a difficult thing for arbs to understand, it seems to have eluded them.

They were voted in because of this were they not?

Democracy has eluded not just arbs but paks as well.

Since the British left (on their own will) the orphaned soldiers of the British Indian Army have been ruling the country and running it into the ground. The popular leader is in jail while the ugly tinpot dictator is ruling the country with threats of torture and rape.

So sad that out of 52 countries we have Only Turkey, Bangladesh, Indonesia and perhaps Malaysia that resemble a democracy. Is Iran a democracy? The rest of the muslims are living under occupation and oppression. Not just in Gaza.

Is it better to be living under a muslim dictator or a jewish dictator? Does it matter?
 
Imagine getting into a fight with another guy, His buddies come along and hold your hands behind your back while they give the other guy a bayonet to finish you off. This is the situation faced by the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. While the whole West is coming to aid of Israel, no other nation is coming to aid of the Palestinians.

So looking at those circumstances, the Palestinian resistance in Gaza are performing miraculously much better. With their home-made rockets, they've been able to expel 250,000 occupiers from Southern Israel (Occupied Palestine). They've been able to inflict heavy casualties on Israel. And most importantly, they showed out of 2 billion Muslims world-wide, they're the only people defending Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Let’s tell it like it is. The Palestinians are largely a civilian population, half are children, resisting a terrorist state with state of the art weapons provided by a global superpower with basically home improvised tools of self defense.

And the whole world is watching them get slaughtered in front of our eyes.
 
Leaders who are not elected by popular vote are accountable not to their people but to those who keep them in office. If there was proper election system and an independent Arab nationalist stance in the Gulf to Levant region, Israel would never have been able to act so freely.

Most of the "leaders" in the muslim world have been bought and paid for their client services for sure..
 

Pro-Palestinian protest in London sees thousands call for bombing to stop​


Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters have begun gathering in London for a protest urging an end to Israel's attacks in Gaza.
Last weekend, 100,000 people took to the streets of the capital demanding an end to the bombing in Gaza, and police expect similar numbers again.
Rallies are expected in many UK cities, including Manchester and Glasgow.
The demos come as Israel expands its strikes, three weeks after Hamas launched an attack on its territory.
On Saturday afternoon, crowds started to gather near the Golden Jubilee Bridge holding signs saying "Gaza, stop the massacre" and "Free Palestine, end Israeli occupation".
A sound system led people to chant "Stop arming Israel. Stop bombing Gaza", "We are all Palestinian" along with a slogan saying "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Home Secretary Suella Braverman had previously urged police chiefs to consider interpreting the "river to the sea" chant as an "expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world".
Large crowds are expected to gather around the Embankment, Whitehall, Strand, Westminster and Waterloo Bridge, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force said more than 1,000 officers have been deployed.
Elsewhere in the UK, thousands attended a pro-Palestinian rally outside Manchester's Central Library at St Peter's Square.
On Friday, the region's mayor Andy Burnham joined international calls for "a ceasefire by all sides and for the hostages to be released unharmed".

Last weekend, similar numbers of officers were involved in policing demonstrations in London and 10 people were arrested on the day.
A video later emerged online of a pro-Palestinian protester chanting "jihad" at a smaller protest near the main march last weekend, but the Met said it "had not identified any offences arising from the specific clip".
It prompted Suella Braverman to question Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley over why arrests had not been made.
Ahead of this weekend's demonstrations, the force said officers would be expected to intervene if protesters use the word "jihad" in chants.
"Jihad" literally means "effort" or "struggle" in Arabic. In Islam the main meaning is an internal struggle, such as a believer's struggle to live in accordance with their faith.
It can also be an outward struggle or war, which in Islamic teaching must be in self defence and within prescribed limits.

Cdr Kyle Gordon, who is leading the police operation, said the protest would be policed "right up to the line of the law" and include discussions about "anything we've learnt from previous weeks".
He added: "If somebody is calling for jihad specifically against Israel the officers will intervene, gather the information, report it back into us and we'll be working with colleagues [from counter-terrorism] in relation to what the best course of action is."
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said calls for a ceasefire "aren't going to help the situation".
"Of course we want to see Israel safe, peaceful and secure," he said, but added there was no indication from Hamas that they would accept or abide by a ceasefire.
He warned the protesters to be mindful of misinformation and manipulation, and said that they should be wary of a "small minority" who have more "negative aims".
Demonstrations have been taking place around the world to call for fighting to stop and for aid to be allowed into Gaza.
Protesters demanding a truce flooded Grand Central Terminal in New York, forcing the station to close temporarily.
Hamas launched a surprise assault on Israel on 7 October, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 220 hostages.
Since the attack, Israel has been carrying out strikes in Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry says the strikes have killed more than 7,000 people.

I think that Iran is a democracy. They have some systems in place that weed out criminals and traitors from running for office, which is why the self-proclaimed democracies of the West are pissed off.

Pakistan would have been better off remaining a colony with real Britishers running it. Instead we ended up with low intelligence, high corruption brown sahebs of the British Indian Army.

PS: Can some Iranian please post a link to a good source for understanding how the electoral system in Iran works.
