Israel's attack on Iran poses a threat to world peace
Israel's 77-year occupation of The State of Palestine is a history of broken promises, shattered treaties, and the gradual realisation amongst most of the world that Netanyahu and the Zionist Colony of Israel cannot be trusted and why they pose a threat to world peace.
On September 13, 1993, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat signed a Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government. This agreement could have led to peace.
Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated not long after by Yigal Amir, a Zionist, due to Rabin's role in the Oslo Accords. Zionism is an ideology not of peace but war, not peaceful co-existence but territorial expansionism. Most of the world understands this.
The breaking of the Oslo Accords and the assassination of Prime Minister Rabin should have been the definitive lesson in the futility of appeasing a Zionist regime bent on conquest and domination. Oman as always has been the peacemaker, always the principled honest broker seeking to resolve disputes through negotiation.
Nonetheless, Oman has always made it clear that it will only normalise relations with Israel when Palestinians are given their own State. In peace negotiations Israel always claim they seek peace, always the victims never the aggressors. It always claims it has the right to defend itself. But what does this mean? Where are Israel's so-called frontiers in Palestine?
The frontiers before the six-day war in 1967? The frontiers immediately after 1967? Because its frontiers change daily. Armed Israeli settlers continue to occupy more Palestinian homes and land with impunity. Following that meeting between Rabin and Arafat in 1993 Clinton brought back memories of the UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.
Chamberlain returned to England from Munich in 1938 having signed the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler. Upon his arrival, he famously declared "Peace in our time," believing he had prevented war.
Chamberlain was naive. He failed to understand the true nature of Nazism. In the same way Rabin and Arafat were naive because they failed to understand the true nature of Zionism. The world has a choice.
Stop the aggressive Zionist expansionist agenda now or face the danger of World War Three. Winston Churchill made the following statement in relation to the Nazis: 'If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.' The appeasement of evil is not diplomacy but capitulation and some threats to human civilisation must be confronted. We should learn from history.
