‘When we are killed, do not say we are dead, for in fact, it is you who are dead’, Palestinian addressing the Muslim World
We live in times where a divided world endures the contradictions of clashing values, interests and politics. Conventions are being redefined, as new ones are established, diplomacy is reduced to a perpetual struggle between acquiescing or demurring. A disrupted global order attempts at discovering fresh frontiers and new alliances in the preservation of mutual ideals and common goals. Israel and Iran go to war while the nations of the world witness the drama unfolding. Some take up a position, others remain tentative leaving space for themselves to manoeuvre. The rest feel more secure in the anonymity that their silence earns them.
In these recent trials and tribulations, that we the people of the world have had to stand witness to, we see a powerful US arrogantly exhibit contempt for global conventions by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, regressing on several nuclear arms treaties such as the INF and the JCPOA, violating the rules laid down and agreed to by WTO and only recently, stand out as the only nation in the world to veto a resolution for halting the genocide in Gaza. One wonders, what weakness the US, a global leader, found within itself to support the callous murder of hundreds of children of Gaza.
The US, by its policies and conduct is establishing new moral standards by which the world must now grow accustomed to. Starmer of the UK, Macron of France and Merz of Germany, who collectively represent current day Europe have given new meaning to democracy. They display a blatant indifference to the civil protests and the popular demand of their own people, in the streets of Europe wanting peace in Palestine.
A travesty of western leadership unites in implementing a diabolical strategy of ‘defeating Russia’ at the cost of the last Ukrainian. The neocons in the United States such as Lindsey Graham have reduced diplomacy to threat and war – ‘my way or the highway’. President Trump orders Iran to listen to him or ‘they will all be killed’. He starts a negotiation in Oman and insists that Iran stop Uranium enrichment in totality, while it is their sovereign right to do so for peaceful purposes.
The international agreements governed by IAEA allow a certain percentage of enrichment for energy projects etc – Trump will not have it, and establishes his own standards – ‘put up or shut up’ – Trump diplomacy. This is just as Zelensky, a comedian disguised as the president of Ukraine threatens to destroy Russia based on funding, resources and blind support by a prejudiced West. This is the environment which now governs the world polity as Israel unfolds its US requisitioned military muscle and attacks everyone in the region that it pleases, unfettered and unrestrained.
One part of the world watches, stupefied, trying to make some sense of Israel’s final objectives, ambitions and to discover what would satiate it finally, so that it can let the world live in peace. The other part of the world gloats at Israel’s transgressions and encourages Israel to initiate even more chaotic havoc. The world stands divided.
Israel, founded illegally in 1948 on lands in the Middle East belonging to the Palestinians was conveniently established after evicting the Palestinians. In one stroke, Europe was rid of its Jews and a proxy state was created at the confluence of Africa and Arabia to control and manipulate both. Israel justifies its forced acquisition of Palestinian territory based on a biblical interpretation of a ‘Promised Land’, dated to the second millennium BCE. However, if seen in the context of the ‘Promised Lands’ then Israel can, and does lay claim to lands up to the Nile and the Euphrates i.e. Greater Israel. This is reflected in the two blue stripes bordering the Israeli flag, i.e. the Nile and the Euphrates, just as the imagined map covering this land is depicted in its coins.
The Zionist of their time worked their way through the Belfour Declaration of 19i7 up to Hitler’s Germany in a bid to establish themselves and control the world. Hitler wanted the Zionists to leave Germany but no one else in the world was willing to accept them, which led to the concept of Israel as an idea and then, later, a State.
The Zionist having lost their hold in Germany and Europe in the 1940s, re-established themselves in the US. The principles of controlling the world are based on the protocols of Zion – Gold, Media and Entertainment, now practically manifested in Hollywood (Paramount Pictures, Fox Films, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, RKO, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures which are all Jew founded and owned), Wall street (Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Loeb, Lehman Brothers and J&W Seligman are all Jew enterprises) and the Media such as the Times Magazines (Marc Benioff, co-founder, a Jew) and the New York Times (The Ochs-Sulzberger, Jews, who have majority ownership). Using these as platforms, today Zionists control more senators in the US system than President Trump, thus controlling American Policy.
The Zionists have used US wealth and defence equipment to empower themselves in Israel, determining Israel’s efforts towards a greater Israel. General Wesley Clark, in 2001, is on record, where in a Public interview, he said that he was told of a plan where after Afghanistan, 7 countries of the middles east were to be invaded. These were Libya, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan and Iran to be demolished within 5 years. None of these States fall into critical US national security interests, though the regions oil resources compensated the US for its assertions at Israeli’s call and behalf. However, the pacification of the region, was actually more in line with the idea of a ‘Greater Israel’ and this was only a prelude to creating a conducive operational environment to facilitate this Israeli dream at US cost. Having subdued Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Lebanon, Syria was appropriately dealt with lately by allowing Abu Mohammed al-Jolani to take over Syria after a short civil war. Jolani was the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Shams (HTS), an affiliate of the IS and there was a $10 million bounty announced by the US as a reward for his capture. This stands as testimony, as already mentioned above, to the moral compass that now governs the world where facts are overwhelmed by twisted narratives and reality succumbs to perceived perceptions.
Thus we arrive at the final part of the plan that needed to be played out, which was to attack Iran, and so on Friday the 13th of June, 2025, Israel attacked Iran.
Israel also voiced its intent to expand this war to Pakistan later on to dismantle its nuclear capability which has remained a source of great concern to it. As such Iran and Pakistan stand out as the two most threatened nations today.
Whereas Greater Israel may be the immediate objective but the conflict is part of a much bigger story. It is about contest of the global economic order. The three contesting players that are flexing their muscles are the European Union’s quest to be independent of the US, The Global Gateway plan, the US plan to contain Chinese growing supremacy by its Build Back Better (B3W) programme and the Chinese initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The first of these, The Global Gateway is still in its infancy and can be ignored for now, but the B3W and BRI stand to contest each other vigorously.
The manifestation of the BRI lies in BRICS and is a consortium of nations joining the Chinese system which has created the Asia-Pacific system. The B3W challenges this and is trying to contain Chinese global economic dominance. The manifestation of the B3W lies in mostly the western nations that make up the Trans-Atlantic system.
Thus we see the world divided as nations queue up to become members of one or the other. On one side there is a US-led Western nations but which include Israel and India while on the other side Is China, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan with smaller Asian states. The Middle East is totally subservient to the west and cannot be counted as an independent entity – they will only do what they are told to do. Thus as these array of nations face-off into two distinct groups, a quest to expand power potential arises, specially by the Trans-Atlantic Order, whose method is based on brute force, coercion, military alliances, threats and deception. Their modus-operandi is to unsettle opposing States through decapitation, regime change, use of overwhelming force and occupation. This is being contested by the Asia-Pacific model which is oriented towards development, progress, prosperity and global synergy.
More and more nations are joining the Asia-Pacific order with 150 countries now a part of the BRI recorded in May 2025, making it 65% of the world population and 40% of the Global GDP (reference 2017 figures) which is a cause of further exasperation to the Trans-Atlantic order. The Trans-Atlantic Group thus incited the Russo-Ukraine War that did not turn out quite as well as they thought, inadvertently managing to destroy Ukraine in their futile attempt to expand NATO.
The frequent animosities displayed in the South China Sea has not translated into open hostilities but it is a question of time when it will. This overall global scenario coincided with Israeli strategic orientations. Israel is an important component of the Trans-Atlantic Group in controlling parts of the Globe that the West have ceded to them. Israel is allowed to freely go about constructing its idea of a ‘Greater Israel’ within this framework.
To ensure that reactions are contained and responses restricted to any Trans-Atlantic expansion through NATO or Israel, it was important to defang Russia. A conventional effort through the Ukrainian proxy state was mounted against Russian bombers that were part of their nuclear delivery system. This was in violation of the international agreement, where bombers had to be displayed on the tarmac and as such monitored by all sides. The MI6, CIA and specially the Mossad, jointly participated in this drone attack destroying 41 bombers.
It was an asinine idea that has led to serious repercussions for Ukraine. This was a typical Israeli innovation with Mossad’s signature written all over it, that we now see also unfolding in Iran.
Along with this drone attack on Russian airbases, India, too was encouraged to mount an offensive against Pakistan on the 6th of May 2025 with Israeli support and physical presence, while a benign US smiled on in encouragement. India received its just rewards and a ceasefire was announced on the 10th of May. The intent was to test Pakistan’s resolve and capacity to defend its self, which if it failed to do, India could strike deeper and destroy Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. It did not happen.
The attacks on Pakistan were part of shaping of the environment for future attacks on Iran by Israel. Israel attacked Iran despite the Indian failure to create the desirable effect/environment in Pakistan. The US tried to restrain Israel in the wake of the Indian failure, hoping to postpone Israeli attacks till India was in a position to do the necessary at an opportune time. India had openly announced that it had unfinished business with Pakistan to attend to and that it did not recognise the ceasefire that it had itself begged for.
Nevertheless, Israel went ahead and the US quickly announced that they were not part of this attack on Iran, since it is assumed they did not think the environment was not appropriately shaped as yet. The question is that had Pakistan been defanged, would the US have taken a different position?
Yet, now after it appears that Israel has been surprised by the ferocity of Iran’s response, the US has begun posturing with its fuel tankers and naval fleets, as a coercive step in bullying Iran to prepare for a ceasefire. It may lead to the US joining the war against Iran but if it does, it is threatening the Asia-Pacific Order, where Chinese interests are critical. In such an eventuality, it is expected that China and Russia would react and we would be looking at WW3.
On the 12th of June 2025, the Board of the IAEA decided to accuse Iran of not being in compliance with the governing regulations. The IAEA discovered this omission, suddenly now after certifying Iran’s full compliance over the last 30 years. The IAEA is a political body and not a technical one and as such is politicised by US influence, just as most other international organisations are. The announcement by the IAEA led to Israel launch ing a horrific attack on Iran within 24 hours of the announcement.
The stated objective was to facilitate a regime change and to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. The real objective was to progress towards the idea of a Greater Israel for the Zionists and to influence a wider swath of area in Asia for the US led Trans-Atlantic Order. Regime change has been the usual pattern established by the US-Israel duo, i.e. cultivate people who are aggrieved with their government, create an environment for insurgency and civil war, mount an attack on the country with standoff weaponry and air supremacy, use the local insurgents to overwhelm the government and then install them as the representatives of that state – pliant, obedient, compromised and totally under US-Israeli control.
This was the pattern followed in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, and recently Syria. It failed in Afghanistan due to popular resistance and it did not get the success it was looking for in Pakistan despite a regime change, because the people are resisting it even to date. The insurgency is usually conducted through proxies who are the IS, Al Qaeda elements and affiliates, TTP and the BLA, etc who are funded, resourced, armed, trained and directed by intelligence agencies. The agencies usually involved are the CIA, Mossad, RAW and the MI6.
On account of this open duplicity and hypocrisy, the United Nations cannot state a common definition of terrorism that is universally acceptable – how can it? If Israel murders children in Gaza as a State policy and Syria lose 600,000 of its people for a regime change ordered by President Obama – how can it?
Israel recruit’s dissidents and infiltrates Iran to conduct assassinations of key government officials, pursues vehicle-borne bombs in the streets of Tehran, destroying whole buildings to kill a single person, in callous indifference to the score of civilians, women and children that it murders. The West is silent as the Iranian Embassy is bombed in Damascus, there is not a whimper from the IAEA as Israel violates international norms and strikes nuclear facilities in Iran. Western hypocrisy stands out just as their prejudices and biases do when coming to deal with Russia, China and the Asian bloc, as if these are children of a lesser God. The US has now demonstrated its lack of reliability as a responsible state and can no longer be trusted. In this labyrinth of Western deceit and dishonesty, the so called Muslim Ummah stands equally guilty, shamefully selling themselves off to the highest bidder in a perverted understanding of national interest.
Artificial states that would never stand the test of time sit in the US lap or under the protection of the West, making brave statements – these states may look good today but lack in substance and are truly of no consequence; today they stand totally exposed for the laughingstocks that they are recognised to be, before the whole world.
So what has this conflict taught us today? First, that Iran will cancel its agreement with the IAEA and then go nuclear with intent to weaponize the capability.
Second, any other self-respecting country in the region that wants to cling on to its sovereignty must endeavour to establish a nuclear deterrence as soon as possible or prepare to suffer the consequences. Third, all US-Israeli proxies must be recognised and should be handled jointly by affected countries through a combined initiative.
Fourth, it must be recognised that there will be no peace in the region till Israel is totally destroyed or then two states are established with an independent Palestine – suitably armed and equipped to contain any further Israeli mischief. Fifth, no country should fall into the trap of regime change and mechanisms must be structured to identify such plans and to deal with them appropriately. Sixth, it is time for nations of the Is lamic world to come together – not because of ideology but for survival. BRICs must be expanded sans India who should be told that they cannot be part of every organisation in the world and even those that are in conflict with one another. Pakistan must try and join BRICs as soon as possible.
The fault line is now established, defining where the two opposing ideas meet, the Trans- Atlantic Order and the Asia Pacific Order and it runs through Pakistan from the sea, up to the mountains. There must be no ambiguity where nations of the region stand – it is here or there. A mechanism must be structured by the member states of the Asia-Pacific to organise a proper governance system through a suitable structured coordinating headquarters. It must be mandated to manage, coordinate, plan and facilitate in ter-state trade, finance, defence and communication. Asia-Pacific, under the tutelage of Chinese leadership, will offer the globe an alternative to diplomacy through prosperity, rather than military force.
In Pakistan’s case, the environment has already been set by the recent Indo-Pak conflict undertaken on the 6th of May to the 10th of May 2025 that concluded with Pakistan acquiring an internationally acclaimed enhanced image, with its credibility restored considerably. Thus Pakistan must study the obtaining environment today and establish the threats around it. It is only a question of time when Pakistan too is on the menu. Pakistan is now seen as an exponential threat to Israel’s dream of a Greater Israel.
Pakistan is also an important component of the BRI viz. a viz. CPEC and thus an irritant to US interests who sees Pakistan as a Chinese proxy – with Pakistan just one obstacle in the way to get to China. India too, sees Pakistan as a perpetual enemy that challenges its regional dominance. Pakistan needs to take immediate safeguards against this array of enemies and detractors. However, first things first, and Pakistan’s priority must be to bridge the divide amongst its own people to become one strong unified nation. Its political outlook must emanate from the people up, carrying popular will and the aspirations of its people. The approach to governance must be institutional in every field and decisions an outcome of collective expert departmental wisdom. Pakistan must promote justice for all, merit in every department, superior education and the wellbeing of its people. It’s the only way to establish national cohesion as opposed to beating a sense of patriotism into people by force and fraud. The genuine bonds of a homogenous population produce the strongest collective resistance against any external intrusion into the affairs of the country.
Being the second largest Muslim country, a nuclear state, with a population of 240 million people, the sixth largest military system in the world, Pakistan must put its house in order, first and foremost, and having done that, establish its place amongst the Islamic Nations.
Pakistan can and must strive to be acknowledged within the leading nations of the Muslim World with a conspicuous presence. Pakistan must initiate a special conference of Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia and others, to establish a consortium of regional states. Those Islamic nations that feel vulnerable and need protection must be allowed to join provided they embrace a mutually agreed to Code of Principles and a Charter of Conduct. Those who are happy to be where they are, should remain so, the pet-poodles of the west and enjoy their high-rises but should not be welcome to the comity of self-respecting Islamic States – it is time to reconsider the purpose of the OIC; an impotent, meaningless organisation which may need to be replaced. It is time for Pakistan to take its rightful place, assert itself and exercise its true potential of which it is blessed. This consortium must become a recognised and leading component of the Asia-Pacific Order with close relations with China and Russia. Nations of this region must never remain helpless like they are, living off handouts from the west and governed by the IMF – it is time for Pakistan too, to stand up and be counted amongst the proud nations of this region.
“The West’s post-Holocaust pledge that genocide would never again be tolerated proved to be hollow, and for all the fine sentiments inspired by the memory of Auschwitz, the problem remains that denouncing evil is a far cry from doing good” – Philip Gourevitch
