Molly Charles-Reflections

  United States as the mediator between Israel and Hamas, brings to question what is the role of the mediator, and the basic norms to be adhered to when being the mediator. According to United Nations, International law and US law there are certain common basic elements for being a mediator, it may be useful to briefly address the same. Basic definition is stated to be “Mediation in a voluntary, binding process in which an impartial and neutral mediator facilitates disputing parties in reaching a settlement.” Basic requirements: According to United Nations Guidance for Effective Mediation, Impartiality is the corner stone of mediation, a mediator should be able to run a balanced process that treats all actors fairly and “Should not have a material interest in the outcome”. While UN document does indicate impartiality does not mean neutrality, as a UN mediator he/she is mandated to uphold certain universal principles and values and may need to make them explicitly known to the ...

  The definition of democracy has changed, for Israel and US Genocide is an option within democracy to obliterate the Palestinian as Israel occupies them. Yes, US would prefer not to use the word Genocide but the actions of Israel that lead to the conclusion Genocide, is very rarely even questioned by US. Now, Israel asserts it has right over Philadelphi crossing, thought legally it has none. It is demanding the right of occupation all over again. Would any other democracy think making such outlandish assertion and would others even lend an ear, No! But US is not just providing political cover for Israel in UN it is also ensuring its illegal and criminal demands are brought up for debate. Why, Israel you need time to test jet F 15 or some tank for further action research. It is time the Countries in the area came together and assert "Law matters and Genocide is unacceptable, through their action". Israel's and America's need for tech based military equipment testing...

  War or Conflict is not just about resource control, identity supremacy or even land control it can also be carrying on business in the evolving tech based military industry; or it can be multiple factors acting in combination based on actors involved. The onslaught of Israel on Gaza is linked to desire to depopulate the place and ensure Greater Israel and in the process achieve also the goal of annihilation of an ethnic religious group, Israelis have an inherent hatred towards and for which they believe they have religious justifications which even sanctifies war crimes or genocide carried out against Palestinians. It is an issue about Israeli society as a whole, how it evolved and what it assumed its existential goal is – to recreate past called Greater Israel. The skewed mentality of assuming Israelis have the right to depopulate Palestine, is not linked to one party or a few individuals it is the raison d’etre of almost entire population. There is one question to the great vi...

This time Israel has broken all boundaries and imagination, it has come together as a Nation to assert its right to Rape its prisoners, and some stating that it part of soldier's duty to punish the prisoners with rape. A few assert, soldiers need to be respected for what they do for their country, and on call to support the Soldier Rapists, the Israeli Civilians were out on the Street, not for freedom or rights of any kind of services but the Israeli society's perceived fundamental right to Rape Palestinians, men or women. The normalization of torture and rape is happening in Israel when TV debates centre around men and women, asserting the right of Israeli Soldiers to rape Palestinians as per their decision or their duty to State of Israel. When the moral army (Israeli) of the West assert Rape is a part of moral duty of their soldiers, does it mean US and Germany will follow suit, soon? Israel's original product co-produced with support from the Global Leader, United State...

Interesting to see US Department of State Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel, defend the indefensible.  He keeps trying to roll back queries from journalists, by selective retention and moving it back to the track where Israel's right to self-defence and Hamas hiding within civilians make sense. But fail miserably at it. Just a few questions to US Department of State: a) Your Spokesperson have been stating that Hamas fighters hide among civilians from the beginning of onslaught on Gaza, if Hamas already knows your strategy, why would they continue to hide within civilians, you assume they are so dumb they can't comprehend your strategy even when you state it up front, b) Why is that Israel is using the same dysfunctional strategy to dismantle and eliminate Hamas. How is that US assumes the choice made by Israel is fine even when the military goals of Israel continue to be evasive and war crimes is evidently being committed. c) Or are there shared goals from military industry pers...

  Human history is filled with war crimes and genocide of different scales and shades. Experts on Genocide have a personal favourite in debates on what qualifies as a Genocide. Does one go by numbers, intent or maybe both. They seem quite oblivious to the detached cruelty in their statements on genocide for it goes far beyond the numbers game. The stark dehumanization in the approach has them present it as concepts used in association with any hunt. This attitude towards the victim clearly demonstrates the ground rule - anything is permissible as long as the goal of annihilation is upheld, and its justification is grounded in shades of grey enough to deflect any accountability. No religion can today claim innocence from the violence that accompanies Holy Wars, Christianity, especially. Even though Christ spoke of love, peace and nonviolence, ardent Christians sought and embraced violence to assert their Faith. The only religion that may claim some limited innocence is Buddhism, tho...

    Dear All,   This is to share the link of new sub-blog started by me to share my thoughts on Palestine, and the present-day Tech Military based global governance, which is selective in perception and action at its best and sanctions inhumanity with all its might at its worst.  It is an instance in time, when democracy is turning to be the ugly face of Autocracy with Pride.
