Indian PM Narendra Modi sold Indias soul and

dignity to defend Israeli barbarities which always

go unpunished

by Latheef Farook0000-July 9 205

Dismissing justice, crimes against humanity, sentiments of Indian Muslims and the
Muslims worldwide, the government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the
architect of the massacre of Muslims in Godhra, has abstained in the United Nations
resolution holding Israel accountable for its latest war crimes in Gaza in 2014.
India joined four other countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Paraguay and Macedonia to
abstain while 41 countries vote in favor of the resolution. The United States where
governments are made and unmade by powerful pro Zionist Jewish lobbies and the
successive US presidents shamefully implement evil Zionist agenda in the Middle
East and worldwide, stand isolated by the whole world as it was the only country to
vote against the resolution.
All European Union member states of the Council voted in favor of the resolution.
These include Britain and France which planted the alien and barbaric entity of Israel
in the lands of Palestinians in the heart of Middle East.

The fact that India abstained reflects a significant policy change as traditionally, India
voted in favor of all resolutions condemning Israeli crimes against humanity in UN
institutions. Friday's abstention is another sign of warming ties between India, under
RSS Hindutva fascism, and Israel since the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
in 2014.
Welcoming the UN Human Rights Council report, the resolution calls for the
implementation of the report, its recommendations and end to the impunity of Israeli
officials responsible for war crimes. The resolution also calls on all on all UNHRC
member states to ensure the application of international law in the occupied
Palestinian territories.
The report, written by Commission of Inquirys chairwoman, the American jurist Mary
McGowan Davis and Doudou Diene, a lawyer from Senegal, said that impunity
prevails across the board regarding the actions of Israeli forces in Gaza, and it called
on Israel to break with its recent lamentable track record in holding wrongdoers
accountable.
Alongside the shocking death toll, the document also talks about the enormous
destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza. Some international agencies have
calculated that the reconstruction of the enclave may take more than 100 years, due to
the Israeli blockade. In this regard, the commission says the impact of the 2014
attacks "cannot be assessed
separately from the blockade."
As usual in the cased of Israel the UN Council has no binding powers, but its moral
authority could pressure Israel to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable.

On 23 July 2014, the Human Rights Council adopted a resolution in which it decided
to establish an independent, international commission of inquiry to investigate all
violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the
Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, particularly in the occupied
Gaza Strip, in the context of the military operations conducted since 13 June 2014,
and to report to the Council at its twenty-eighth session in March 2015.
Israeli forces frequently used precision-guided missiles, indicating that they were
aimed at specific targets, the report said, but many of the attacks came when families
were gathered to break the Ramadan fast or were asleep, increasing the likelihood of
civilian deaths. In six cases that the panel looked into, they found little or no
information to explain why residential buildings which are prima facie civilian objects
immune from attack, were considered to be legitimate military objectives.
Writing in the Indian daily HINDU VIJAY PRASHAD who teaches International
Studies at Trinity College, had this to state;
By abstaining from a crucial vote that would have allowed the ICC to investigate
Israeli war crimes, India sends signals of a disturbingly different stance towards
Palestine.
Israel has pinned its hopes on the Narendra Modi government to break Indias ties
with the Palestinians and join the United States, Palau and Nauru in the pro-Israel bloc
in the UN. The Bharatiya Janata Party and its ancestors have called for close ties with
Israel since 1948, largely because of their antipathy to Muslims. Mr. Modi has already
suggested that he would be the first Indian head of government to visit Israel. This new
alignment could very well be signaled by Indias abstention on this vote. Suggestions
of principle by the Ministry of External Affairs are well and good, but these might not
contain the entire story. Other, less noble, motivations might be at play.

Indias abstention does not

help the situation in West Asia. In fact, it has given the Israeli policymakers respite,

and has betrayed the slim hopes of the Palestinian people. There are few issues that
can unite this much of the international community in almost unanimous agreement.
Images show just how isolated the US is on the global stage, and just how deranged
US public and political discourse around Israel-Palestine is. The fact that the
international political disparity continued to grow in the wake of Israels summer 2014
attack on Gaza and that the US refuses to pass even the most moderately worded and
lukewarm of UN resolutions further demonstrate this fact.
If Mondoweiss were a clickbait publication, the title of this piece would likely be How
the US Is a Rogue State, in One Image.
The battle for the hearts and minds, as it is said, of 95% of the world was already
won long ago. The international community is, with few exceptions, united in its desire
to see international law respected in occupied Palestine (in the form of an end to
Israels illegal occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and the cessation of
its illegal siege on Gaza) and human rights guaranteed to the indigenous Palestinian
population.
The US isand has long been, as renowned historian Rashid Khalidi detailsthe
primary obstacle standing in the way of justice, equality, and peace in Israel-Palestine.
Israel and RSS and its deceptive front Modis BJP, suffer from the same incurable
disease of common hatred towards Islam and Muslims. They both remain soaked in
Muslim blood.
Israels all out support to bring Narendra Modi to power remains equally common
knowledge. The two certainly have their joint evil designs on Muslim countries
between Israel and India.
Millions of Indians work and live in the oil rich Gulf countries and remit around 38
billion dollars annually. Modi cares a damn for this as he knows that the ruthless and
shameless tyrants in the Middle East, protected and promoted by US, UK and
European imperialism, will ever take note of this.
