Arabian Knights

The sudden stance of Arab world for the state of Palestine to have a reservation in world’s so-called peace keeping community of UN seems really surprising to me. The political geography of Arab world is changing, and it’s really eye raising that in such a time when your very own monarchies are threatened at home by revolutionaries, you are standing up for you much needed brother Muslim country which when needed you badly you abandoned it.

The Arab world never used its billions of dollars from petroleum to modernise or urbanise Palestine. They could easily used this only God-gifted resource to pressurise international community to stop Israel from building settlements in West Bank and Gaza, instead they didn’t. And here they are begging the veto powers to grant Palestine a slot in UN which, most likely, is to going to be rejected. It’s all because their monarchies are heavily dependent upon these powers, without them these monarchies would fall and that are why they are afraid of these powers. Even our beloved and respected House of Saud itself is established by the colonials when the Bedouin Hashemites were dethroned and exiled to Syria after the fall of Ottoman Empire at the end of 1^st world war, the Sauds annexed their land, modern day Saudi Arabia, with the British at their backs. So it’s simple the British installed the House of Saud so that they can have a leverage over the region and over oil market. The Europeans powers had a long history of attempts to secure an imperial stake in Middle East. With time after 2^nd world war with the shift in global power from Colonials to US and Soviets, this leverage was automatically shifted to Uncle Sam. Now the Arabs know if Uncle Sam isn’t pleased with their doings the results would be devastating like Egypt and Tunisia.

So given the defeat in July 2006 in Lebanon of Israeli forces, the Arabs sighted this an opportunity to avenge the Six day war and the 1948 Arab-Israel war. They saw this as weakening of Israel’s military strength but seem like Uncle Sam and the Londoners smelled a rat and to protect their beloved state of Israel from Arab wrath the authorities in Capitol Hill and in Windsor warned them by first dethroning their very own man Bin Ali in Tunisia and then turned to Egypt. Now it’s Libya and Bahrain slowly it’ll be Syria and finally the House of Saud, but before it comes to House of Saud, it will neutralise itself as it has been doing n past thus protecting the throne. So in order to save their monarchies they must have backing of all powers and above all that of super power. So these delegations to veto powers countries to persuade them to vote in favour of a slot for Palestine in UN, are in fact begging them to grant them a chance to prove their loyalty to their masters. If they were so concerned about the holy land of Palestine they would have liberated it from Israeli tyranny by any means necessary.

Sending delegations just for a slot in an organisation which couldn’t even grant them freedom in 63 years is like making fun of the spilled blood of thousands of innocent Palestinians since 1948.
