The International system established by Europe based on some criteria. The core is 'civilization'. According to the latter, Non-European societies were often seen as inferior, justifying colonialism. By dehumanizing other countries, and claiming superiority over others, the western white man committed genocide against indigenous people in America and Africa, and now in Gaza. Dehumanize refers to the act of treating someone with a lack of dignity. International law is one of the features of this system established by Europe. in fact, it is European international law, and humanity often mentioned in international convention means European humanity. The west won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence.

Israel is a Zionist, racist, anti-Islamic entity in Palestine. It was created more than 70 years ago by the imperialist powers with the support of Sinonist-Jewish anti-Muslim organizations and the hypocritical West. This formation serves the fascist ideologies of Zionist Islamophobic organizations and also Western Islamophobic countries and their allies to intensify hegemony and terrorism in the Middle East. Israel, like a poisonous tumor, must disappear from the territory of terrorized Palestine. Those who like this “pirate education” should create it in Europe or America. #FREEPALESTINE #GAZA #Palestine #StopGenocideinGaza #GazaGenocide
Recent escalations in the Middle East make it even more important to find lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. The ultimate goal remains a two-state solution – Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as the capital of both states, on the basis of United Nations resolutions, international law and previous agreements. The international community has a responsibility and a moral obligation to help make this happen.

"Defusing Global Unrest: A Call to Action for Sustainable Peace". ----- Abdullah Al-Mahmud Jahangir Chairman Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Free Democratic Party BFDP Chairman Global 🌎 Human Rights & ☮️ Peace Restoration Consortium Ghrprc Administrator Democratic Party USA 🇺🇸 Author Editor Poet A Freelance Journalist & Columnist For National & International English News Dailies! In the wake of escalating tensions, exemplified by the recent emergency Security Council session on the Middle East, the urgency of preserving regional and global peace cannot be overstated. Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Sameh Elgebaly, the Permanent Representative of Egypt to the UN, have echoed a poignant truth: the world teeters on the brink of further conflict, and such turmoil is a luxury none can afford. The root causes of unrest are manifold, often stemming from geopolitical rivalries, socio-economic disparities, and unresolved grievances. Yet, regardless of their origins, the consequences are universally dire: displacement, suffering, and the erosion of human dignity. As nations engage in brinkmanship and proxy conflicts, the specter of all-out war looms large, threatening to engulf not only the immediate combatants but also innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. To defuse this ticking time bomb of global unrest, concerted action on multiple fronts is imperative. Diplomacy must be pursued with unwavering commitment, prioritizing dialogue and negotiation over saber-rattling and brinkmanship. International institutions, particularly the United Nations, must be empowered and reformed to effectively mediate disputes and enforce peace agreements. Moreover, addressing the underlying grievances fuelling conflicts is paramount. This requires addressing socio-economic inequalities, promoting inclusive governance, and fostering a culture of tolerance and mutual respect. Investment in education, healthcare, and infrastructure can serve as potent antidotes to extremism and violence. Crucially, the international community must reaffirm its collective commitment to upholding the principles of international law and respecting the sovereignty of nations. Unilateral actions and disregard for established norms only serve to exacerbate tensions and undermine the very foundations of global order. In the face of mounting crises, complacency is not an option. The time for action is now. Let us heed the sobering warnings of leaders like Guterres and Elgebaly, and redouble our efforts to build a world where peace is not just an aspiration, but a lived reality for all. The stakes are too high, and the cost of inaction too grave, to do otherwise.#

António Guterres’s call for a renewed focus on the two-state solution, while laudable in its pursuit of peace, oversimplifies the profound complexities inherent in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The proposal of Israel and Palestine existing side-by-side with shared capital in Jerusalem, though idealistic, faces severe practical and geopolitical hurdles that merit a rigorous analysis. Firstly, the security challenges of a two-state solution are manifold. Israel’s security concerns stem from fears of encirclement by hostile forces, exacerbated by the close geographic proximity of a potential Palestinian state. The history of conflict, including rocket attacks and other forms of terrorism, feeds into the Israeli narrative that security cannot be compromised. For Palestinians, the security concerns are equally pressing, often citing the need for protection from military occupation and settler violence. Implementing a two-state solution would necessitate a security apparatus that addresses these fears while fostering trust—a monumental task given the current distrust. Moreover, the political landscapes in both Israel and Palestine are not conducive to the compromises required for a two-state solution. In Israel, the rise of right-wing parties who oppose the creation of a Palestinian state alongside a significant portion of the populace, complicates any move towards withdrawal from occupied territories. Conversely, the Palestinian leadership is fragmented, with the Palestinian Authority and Hamas holding divergent visions for statehood and governance, which further complicates cohesive negotiation efforts. Jerusalem remains a particularly contentious issue. The city holds deep religious and national significance for both Israelis and Palestinians, making any division of sovereignty a point of potential perpetual conflict. Proposals for shared capital status, while aiming for fairness, do not adequately account for the administrative and security complications such a scenario would entail. The international community's role, though well-intentioned, often overlooks the nuanced local dynamics and the internal pressures facing both parties' leaders. International resolutions and laws provide a framework, but they do not always align with the national interests and existential fears of those directly involved. In conclusion, while the moral obligation to pursue peace is undeniable, the methodology requires a more grounded and nuanced approach than the current idealistic advocacy of a two-state solution. A sustainable peace process necessitates not only international support but also a profound and genuine engagement with the complex realities on the ground, ensuring any resolution is both practicable and resilient. This approach demands innovative thinking, perhaps considering federal structures or confederations, as alternatives that might offer a more feasible path to enduring peace.
