#India is much in the news lately for deploying three naval destroyers and maritime reconnaissance aircraft in response to events in the Middle East. Readers of Admiral James Stavridis's novel "2034" will not be surprised by this development. India is a rising power to watch. As the existing global powers shift and parry each other, creating rippling effects across the globe, regional powers like India will have to step in to protect their interests. In the short-term, this will help alleviate the strain on US military operations, though it's too soon to ascertain if it would curtail US options in the long-term. This is a just-released Indian Navy video for the FEB 2024 "Milan" naval exercise, which explains perfectly why #India is responding to the deteriorating maritime shipping situation on its periphery the way it is. Trade is a lifeline for India, and #Iran is risking much if India increases its involvement. While the events following the October 7th Attacks in #Israel has increased the US Navy's presence in the region, the longterm trend is that the United States is shifting away from the region. India is one of the few nations with the will and capacity to step in from a naval perspective. #Japan would be another, and the two already have a security dialogue relationship through "The Quad" (AUS-IND-JPN-USA). Additionally, the Indian Navy has always been funded less compared to the Army, which is focused on India's northern borders with #China and #Pakistan. With recent developments in the Middle East, this may force New Dehli to consider prioritizing more resources for its navy. This a development to continue watching...

Incredible! Fortunately, there is a third, hybrid, option! Although this Knesset vote represents unwillingness to coexist, chances on a two state solution of which a main part is flattened, were anyway minimal. However, this implies that Netanyahu indirectly bombed the Jewish state. There is absolutely no future for Israel (and similarly for Palestine) based on the narrative of its radicals..... anyone who wants to claim the entire territory exclusively for themselves will only find eternal war, violence and destruction, whereas the moderates at both sides hold the key to peace by non-violent interaction and dialog as equals. This is the only path to replace fear and hatred by trust and solidarity and to solve the conflict forever. The only way out of the conflict is thus to learn to coexist as equals and to share the country as one union. There is in principle space for all. Practically, it means in my opinion to go back to the times of Canaan and establish (democratic) autonomous communities and spread them over the entire territory of Canaan. These autonomous communities can coexist and come together in two confederations of communities, an Israeli and a Palestinian one, sharing the country as a union. There is space for all cultural identities this way. Currently, such scenario seems very far fetched, but, the Israelis and Palestinians belong to Canaan and nobody outside is waiting for another exodus of any of the two. www.canaan.community & www.pax.ngo

🛑 Pretext for Annexations of all the ‘OPT’. 🛑 Pretext for Annulation of Gaza and West Bank. 🛑 Pretext for New Formal Map: Apartheid Israel. 🛑 Does Israel Exist and Live in Vacuum? The Israeli Knesset resolution AGAINST establishing two state solution has evolved because of the silence and passivity of the global community. If the Israeli Knesset vote on another resolution for total annexation of the ‘OPT’ it will get the same result. So, this is a dangerous and critical tipping point and Israel will go no with all possible means and actions not only to restrict the democratic rights of the Palestinians but to totally destroy the existence and identity of the Palestinians. The apartheid policies and crimes against the Palestinians will continue, expand and accelerate indefinitely. Such trends can only be reversed, as is the case with South Africa, by global collective actions as the US and other western countries still support what is going on in Israel. So far the current and existing political pressure on Israel isn’t enough to reverse the ongoing trends and the evolution towards total annexation of the ‘OPT’. What would the world do about it? Israel doesn’t exist in vacuum and its aggression and violation of international rules and laws as well as its continuous provocation of the world community will definitely fire back on it. The outdated era of colonialism has no place in modern reality. It isn’t about IF but rather WHEN Israel and its allies can realize their failure and that their actions aren’t accepted by the whole global community and by the democratically accepted control instruments and juridical institutions. We aren’t living in the stone ages and in a jungle with absolute absence of order.

After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted several countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, doing cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above..

Today, we remember the haunting events of the 1972 Munich Olympics—a day that stands as a devastating watershed moment in modern history. The tragedy is not only etched into the collective memory of Israelis but also serves as a poignant reminder that even well-intentioned international platforms can become stages for horrifying acts of violence. Eleven members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian militant group, Black September. Despite fraught negotiations and desperate attempts at intervention, the ordeal ended in unimaginable bloodshed. All eleven hostages were killed, along with a German police officer. The incident has forever changed security protocols at subsequent Olympic Games and leaves a tragic legacy in the hearts and minds of people worldwide, particularly the Israeli community. As we mourn the lost athletes, let us also reflect on the responsibilities that come with hosting global events and the need for ever-stringent security measures. Never should the spirit of sportsmanship be overshadowed by acts of terror. 🔗 [Read our in-depth article here: https://lnkd.in/dJyukQYM #MunichOlympics #IsraeliAthletes #NeverForget #SecurityProtocols #GlobalUnityInterrupted 🇮🇱
