NO END IN SIGHT FOR THE MIDDLE EAST – PALESTINIAN PROBLEM.

THERE IS A NEED TO START ALL OVER AGAIN, USING DIFFERENT METHODS TO OUTWIT THE SKEPTICS AND CYNICS.

By Mansor Puteh

There is a way. Maybe there are few ways. And all of them do not involve even the throwing of stones.

The First and Second Intifadas, worked for a bit, but the repercussions were terrible. The Zionist-Israelis had all their means to turn any tide crashing into them into an excuse for them to inflict more harm on the hapless Palestinians and stealing more of their land.

If new strategies are used that do not involved even the throwing of stones and shouting abuses at them, then what reason would they have to retaliate in physical ways?

Imagine: If these had been done by the Palestinian and Arab and other Muslim leaders long ago, since the Nakhba of 1948, then surely, Palestine would be intact, and the Jews who had come from Europe and Soviet Union would have to be satisfied working on farms till today, with one by one of them leaving Palestine and returning to where they had come from, feeling as though they had come for a short-term visit to meet with friendly Palestinians and Masjid Al-Aqsa would not become the focus of the Zionist-Israeli focus.

The end result would be the development of the Arab countries so that they would be at par or better than all the countries in Europe and even America.

This was what the Zionists had not wanted to see happen. Killing of Palestinians and stealing their lands and creating their temporary state of Israel, was just an excuse.

But too bad this had not happened; the Middle East Problems have come to naught and freedom for Palestinians and the return if their land is almost impossible to achieve now.

The losers ended up losing more than they had lost in 1967 and the terrorists gaining more than they could imagine.

But alas the Israeli settlers have still fail to get rid of the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza in one sweep and had to continue to engage them by killing the Palestinians a few at a time and grabbing their lands a piece at a time and seizing their houses one at a time.

It is a very slow and tedious process. After seventy years, the Israelis and Zionists are still using the same methods to expel more Palestinians and grab more of their land.

And the Palestinian leaders and their supporters and noisy crowds of protesters could do nothing other than to repeat what they and their predecessors had done.

The vicious cycle of events, activities, actions and seminars, conferences, summits and resolutions have all come to naught.

So why do all parties still insist on going through the same mill again and again?

Most likely one of the reasons being those who had done the tricks had influenced those who took over from them, so different generations of political leaders busy themselves repeating what the earlier generations had done and tried to achieve thinking albeit not wrongly how their efforts this time might be the right ones.

But alas, that was not the case.

The only certain thing is that more and more Palestinians would be killed and more and more of their land seized by the Zionist-Israelis with the new generation of the Zionist political and military leaders and other activists overdoing what their predecessors had done to inflict more pain on the Palestinians thinking that they had been ordered by their gods to achieve, as it was also their belief that Palestinian land used to be theirs, even though most of the present-day Zionists and Jews who had converged on Palestine were those who had come from Poland and also Germany and few other countries in Europe and the former Soviet Union.

Those in America and its allies have all hoodwinked the hapless Palestinians whose leaders only know how to react to diversions created by the Zionist leaders and their supporters as they killed more Palestinians and grabbed their land.

There were very effective and sure ways that the Palestinians and Arabs could use to force the Zionists to completely withdraw from all Palestinian lands decades ago without the need for useless speeches are given at the UN or demonstrations held but were not used.

What are the ways?

First is for the Arab and Palestinian and Muslim leaders to think beyond what they have been doing all these years, and to no avail; they had in fact, done the Zionist-Israelis a great big favor by taking those actions. They all had fallen into their trap.

It is for them to now use non-military, non-political means i.e. by finding ways on how to create a New Muslim Economic, Cultural and Social Bloc.

The first act is to establish the New Muslim Cinema. And the rest will follow from its development as it intrudes into the other areas hitherto untouched by anyone of them till now.

It is a multimillion-dollar industry for one, and the other is that it involves with so many related matters and connects many on a daily basis to act on their psychology and pride.

More than that we can produce films on our own stories and in the process highlight our own issues and share amongst us, and in the process too cause those stories that the others have been producing to even entice us, can be removed from our awareness.

Isn’t this is what they had wanted to see happen that they had got from us, not only our attention, time and money. More than that, they had cause us to serve their cause and our true cause is not important even to us.

It is not too late for the Muslim World to initiate such actions as it is within our power and means to do so. This may be the only light available for Muslims and Palestinians to free their land and to stop the aggressors and their supporters from furthering their own agendas.
