PALESTINE;THE EPITOME OF DEVASTATION

        Geographically,Palestine is made up of two regions;the West Bank and Gaza.All these while,this small nation found itself in the headlines of dailies worldwide(and that is if the citizens are able to even buy a newspaper).Analysing the bygone history,one can inevitably realise that this Muslim-majority country used to be a big nation prior to the British Mandate 1948 agreement as well as the Gulf War.

         But,all of a sudden,everything altered.With alien forces conquering and perpetrating atrocious violence on Palestine soil,this unfortunate country lost many vital locations in the nation.Most notably,Palestine lost Jerusalem or Baitulmaqdis (in Arabic language) to a mighty force named Israel.This particular city means a lot to three religions namely Jew,Christianity and Islam as this single city is one of the holy cities of these religions.At present,Israel which is “popular” for its capability in lobbying for power in the American Congress,controls most of Palestine’s used to be lands.And not contented with its “achievements” which are deemed brutal,ruthless and heartless by mass media globally,up to this very moment,Israel keeps on torturing Palestine’s civilians,mentally and physically.

           Now,Palestinians are tired of being plunged into destitution.They are fuelling in their level best efforts to lead a gargantuan crusade against their predicaments. They decided to go global.Now,the primary intention is to attain international recognition through United Nations to declare a Palestinian state comprising of the West Bank and Gaza.Yet,again these poor people are shrouded with jittery and fear.Fear of America using its veto power as a permanent member of Security Council of UN to dismiss their application.America,a dear friend of Israel,wants Palestine to resume peaceful talk with Israel and disagrees with the whole idea of Palestine seeking global recognition.And as we are all well-informed,this “peaceful” talk has been on-going for a long time since and both parties are incapable of reaching a consensus.

         But,scholars worldwide opine that the talk met a dead end mainly due to Israel’s unwillingness to tolerate.Plus,bringing their plight to UN’s attention would indeed help a lot.America,as a major force globally,should be able to facilitate the whole process and not interfere by using its ultimate power.Let us,mankind worldwide,regardless our differences,hope that Palestine can attain its goal by establishing its Palestinian state with international recognition and escapes from its devastation.
