Israel deceiving the world

- Anees Lokhande Masood Khan

This refers to Linda S. Heard’s fabulous article, “Netanyahu upsets allies.” ( Jan. 28)

Netanyahu is undoubtedl­y deceiving the world on peace issue. Had he been serious about the issue, there would have been peace and harmony in the Middle Eastern region. Yet, America has been found supporting Israel blindly. The annual US aid of $3.1 billion to Israel is evidence of the double standards that the US adopts when it comes to dealing with the Israel and Palestine. While Netanyahu does leave any stone unturned in squaring blames on other terrorist organizati­ons, the fact is Israel is itself following the same barbarian path and does not shy of in resorting to terror tactics while dealing with Palestinia­ns.

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has rightly said that Israel has surpassed Hitler in its barbaric acts. Surprising factor is that the world is the silent spectator over the fascist acts of Israel, and UN is not serious and have dare to take serious action against Israel of its savagery attacks on innocent Palestinia­ns. Israel must understand that adopting peaceful ways will always bring positive fruits, and the world will witness peace globally.

The lightening advancemen­t of Boko Haram is no different from what we have earlier witnessed when in 90’s, Taleban took over most of the Afghanista­n in few months’ time, or when Daesh occupied large swaths of Iraqi and Syrian territorie­s without even anyone noticing them.

These terrorist outfits have learned from history how and when to strike on the countries wherein systems have collapsed or trembling with corruption. Nigeria is losing precious time; keeping aside elections campaign, it needs to take up seriously the fight against Boko Haram, otherwise, Abuja is not far from BK’s reach.
