From the dream of Theodore Herzl of forming a Zionist state to 1917, where Prime Minister David Lloyd of UK issued the Balfour Declaration, expressing support for the creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine to 1968 “Nakba”.
The timeline starts where Palestinians’ dwellings were demolished, people were harassed, bullied, murdered and displaced from their own homeland. The life was made utterly difficult for them to live on a daily basis.
From seeking medical care, attending schools, going out to shopping malls, praying in mosques and even playing in the playground. From giving death threats to 4-year-olds shooting 85 year old women, Israel has proved to the world that standing with hegemonic nations can pave your way to do anything.
What is happening today was part and parcel of Palestinian life since 1968. Under the patronage of the US and United Kingdom, they have fearlessly bullied the native people, establishing their settlements, appointing US-backed mouthpieces in Palestinian leadership who can submit to them and follow their choices.
The fire is further fuelled by the inactive and passive state of Arab nations around Palestine. The passiveness is not only voluntary but willingly due to so-called economic progression and regional development to keep business ties with Israel and the US.
But what is the whole picture conveying to the common man?
If I can see this picture and try to infer a few things then I can confidently state that in this world, moral values are only theoretical, power and control assisted by allies can wreck havoc to any extent and no one is spared from them.
The international justice system cannot do anything. The United Nation is a puppet show in front of them, amnesty and human rights’ callings have reduced to mere jokes.
On one hand, it has revealed the real face of western democracy and non-partisanship to the whole world and on the other hand, it has disclosed the gruesome nature of Israeli occupied forces and the extent of brutality that can be committed under the umbrella of super-powers.
In this world, mothers would talk about ethics, morality and justice then how they can prove to a child that the world is based and led by these values?
What is humanity? Humans are only defined by power and greed today. But, is this the time to give up?

The utter suppression and the state of polarity is the face of opportunity today to drive us to do more religiously, ethically and professionally.
Until and unless we do not hold the main narrative and the power of the discourse, the world can falsely imprint the perception of Justice in the midst of brutality. We can appreciate that social media ,electronic media,
Print Media and political systems are all hand in hand in giving rise to polarity and corruption. The virtues and Pro moral values have left the Earth long ago. The brutal power of control is ruling the word today as well as the main narrative.
This means that the movement endows us with the only choice to rise and raise the voice collectively. We are not able to do it unless and until the common men excel and empower themselves first.
It is the very duty of all the Muslims around the globe to identify the patterns of injustices and find out the ways to raise voice against it.
Until and unless, we are not ready to say, the world will not listen to us.
