  Blind spot has been made very popular through crime stores, where the focus is on physical limitation of certain spot in our eye or it may be cognitive which may result from individual factors including it being culturally determined. Even after 22 months and more of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza, if the West still believes in Israel, assumes it is a functional democracy, or assumes it would be objective and unbiased in investigating its own crime, then the problem is not with Israel but the Western Countries themselves. It is not because of blind spot cognitive or otherwise, it is a conscious choice of the West. Western countries in their slow-paced manner of taking measures against Israel, often are immobilised to act and only deliver measured words, that seems to reek with hypocrisy to cover up discrimination, injustice and outright religious and cultural bias. Recently Australia expelled Iranian Ambassador over Tehran’s alleged role in antisemitic attacks in Australia, this is...

  The globe is in chaos because of one President, US President Donald Trump and one country United Stated but no one utters a word. The President goes around encouraging genocide, asking the Prime Minister of Israel to finish the job in Gaza which the seemingly blood thirsty Netanyahu Prime Minister of Genocidal Israel does by bombing residential buildings to rubbles, ensuring those escaped death will be suffocated under the rubble, and their loved one will be tortured by the voices of their plea for help and knowing they can’t do a thing. It is time to call a spade a spade, why is the world silent! A US President who tries his best to create violence on streets of his country so that he can ensure he can laud over implementing the Aliens Enemies Act as it plays out in a Tech based military reality. No terrorist person or group has caused so much harm in so many countries, leading to the death of many civilians especially children, as US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister...

    Distancing is a survival mechanism we all learn through experience, at times innately, the connotation of it being negative or positive is determined by context; learnt perceptions and responses to distancing from threat be it cultural or social; and it is both individual and group experience, often feeding on to one another is a circular fashion only to be broken when the stimuli or context evoking the act of distancing disappear or looses it strength to evoke a response. Distancing often can be physical or mental or combination of both, it is possible we as individuals may learn to give preference for one over the other, this choice can be personal, cultural, survival or all of these combined. For example, there is often a saying when faced with threat the response could be either fight or flight, within this example there is a common factor that is the act of distancing. When we decide to flee, we acknowledge our fear or the threat and decide distance would bring safe...

The world is silent or immobilised from complicity and fear as Israel unleashes its darkness on children in Palestine, yet the children retained their light. A child beaming with a smile for the joy of having a doll, which she can’t hug as Israel’s violence had robbed her of her arms. Yet, she responds with an innocent smile at the world, which only watched in silence as darkness was thrown at her. Dominican way of life focuses on contemplation and action, seeking truth and sharing the fruits of search with others. This process calls for changing social reality based on truth and contemplation. This is what is clearly absent in US State Department’s present call to halt process of issuing visas to visitors from Gaza including children in need for medical care [2]. The sudden move is traced back to recent post by Republican activist on X social networking site, where she indicates her concern for US government issuing temporary visas to individuals from Gaza including children in Gaza s...

Global leaders from the West and Western Media use every instance to highlight fiendish profile of Hamas a resistance group whom they termed as terrorist group of the worse kind that went around with venom for the Israeli forces, who are innocent, religious, democratic citizens who just went overboard and lost it after 7 th October 2023. West, you got it wrong may be Palestinian group Hamas went overboard, because of West’s unconditional support for Israel’s occupation, war crimes and planned, systematic, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their home land. The worst cruelty of all the Western media, western global leaders, and even certain countries in the region ignored the pain of the Palestinians, their wails from being tortured were drowned by demands for security of the occupying criminal force Israel. The Palestinians were crushed from all sides if not by bombs and bullets, by accords, trade deals and financial arrangements. Isreal’s going overboard after 7 th October is...

  The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation proudly displays a banner indicating 100,000,000 meals have been distributed. This would mean as its was distributed in two months and three or four days, so let us take an approximate figure of sixty days. That would mean in a day around 1,666,666 meals were distributed through 4 sites (three in Rafah and one in Gaza city). Hence in a day each site would approximately distribute 416,666 According to Google AI after collating the information, it is around 91 millions food packets distributed this would also be based on data provided by GHF. 1. Reality if distribution 24x7: Goal – Per site to distribute 416,666 meals in a day. That would mean in each hour each site would distribute 17, 361 meals (416,666/24 = 17361). Meals distributed each minute would be 289. Each site has wired structure providing four lanes for Palestinians to collect their meal packet. So, in each lane approximately 72 Palestinians have to collect their meal in a minu...
