8th October,2023: Special Edition Series, Gaza Attack!

 

By 9th October, Al-Jazeera reported this, "Israeli air attacks and shelling aimed at houses and apartment buildings have displaced some 123,538 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the UN humanitarian relief agency." 

64 schools were left, where the homeless took shelter or were taken to coastal enclaves. This relocation turned into a mass murder, with 42,000 people killed till date as reported by numerous news outlets, including "710 newborns and 16,700 children," according to Middle East Eye by September 16th, 2024. Collectively, 2.3 million of population is displaced and confined to Rafah camps now. Today marks Three Sixty-Fifth day of this oppression. It is sad that we have witnessed this oppression through the voices raised on social media platforms and through physical protests carried out all over the world, resulting in boycotts and donations and prayers from our side. Did this help? This is a big question because here we are not measuring the scale of loss Israel's Zionist's Communities had after taking such actions but to understand the reasons of this oppression and massive killings for which we need to revisit alot of things first. 

"The fence that blocks aids for Gaza from Israel is 6m tall.It's covered in sharp wire...The 7th of October 2023, when the Hamas attacked on Israel shocked he world...poor Israelis at the other side of the fence , it was a 7th after a week long, a holiday but in hours their world as they knew it had changed..." Podacst The Take ,The shockwaves of the Hamas assault on Israel. (Listen Full story)

Zionists and the countries that support them raised their voice "We condemn Hammas!". The World as we knew it changed for real after this statement, not for few hours but till date! The people who condemn fail to see a forty-five years war when Israel occupied Palestenian Territories and Syrian Golan Heights, since October of 1973. 

In one of Al-Jazeera's feature it was stated, "The war, known to Israelis as the Yom Kippur War, and to Arabs as the October War, ushered in a new reality in the Arab world and changed the face of US foreign policy towards the Middle East." For details, read here.  To summarize, the blame game is evident on each side, but this raises another question that what caused the war of 1973 between Arabs and Israelis? 

I believe as a reader of History that everything happens as a consequence to any action taken in past. Before justifying we need to dig deeper to reach the root cause first just to see the right thing and then to stand with the right side. So, I went through an article posted by The American University, Washington DC; "50 Years On: Explaining the Yom Kippur War By Nicole Hassenstab | October 6, 2023" which tells us that October 6th 2023 marked 50th Anniversary of Yom e Kippur War. And states, " For decades leading up to the war, Israel and its Arab neighbors had been embroiled in a series of conflicts that began in 1948, sparked by the announcement of independence by the state of Israel. After three wars in 1949, 1956, and 1967, Israel had expanded its territory, leading to heightened tensions with the Arab states. On October 6, 1973, an Arab coalition of Egyptian and Syrian forces launched a surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur—the Jewish holy day of atonement. This strategic attack launched a three-week-long conflict that would become the final and bloodiest conflict of the Arab-Israeli wars and shape the state of relations in the region for years to come. To help explain why this war occurred and how its influence is still felt today, we asked SIS professor Boaz Atzili a few questions."  In one of those questions, the answer tells us that the war actually dates back to Israeli War of Independence in 1948, leading to series of war between the two which is still going on today. 

This leads to many other questions, like are Israeli Zionists taking the route of being victim based on right to have independance? If yes, then we need to see more that do they even have that right? Because if they think they are on the right side, then we need to look at their History more from their very own sources. Regarding October 7th, 2023, in all of this, what's the deal with Hammas? Listen here.

So who is right? We will look at it in the next edition of this series. Where I will bring glimpses of the year 1948 and it's important events. Keep reading until you see the truth behind it.
