Greed and Corruption
The entire world suffers from a culture of greed and corruption. It is the prime source of all sorts of violence within families and outside in the larger world. The overall network of relationships–both interpersonal and intrapersonal–is truncated and very much purposive. The material world sinks within want-created consumption, which again expands the demand of greed. Spiritualism, or the practice of spirituality, has become a lifestyle, or, in another way, it has become a personal choice of self-love. Consequently, to fulfil their greed or self-love, everyone is involved in a rat race for money/wealth making, and violence has become an absolute tool, and tolerance has been lagging behind it. Corruption has become a strong medium of greed fulfilment. So, there is a strong nexus between greed and corruption in human society. The pressure of greed pushes a significant population of the world into hunger, shelter-lessness, and so forth. A significant portion of the population has to live below the human standard.

Corruption has become very common amongst almost every section of society at all its possible levels or layers. Usually corruption arises due to a lack of rules, regulations, transparency, and accountability in public sector control, supervision, and auditing, as well as an articulated code of conduct for public servants and politicians. Attitudes or circumstances that make average people disregard the law, the change in the value system and ethical qualities of people, and the moral and ethics have declined.

In a people’s democracy like India, voters are the government, and they elect their government by their right to vote. So, they are absolute power holders of a democratic nation. But unfortunately, they have to beg throughout their life cycle except at poll time, when the politicians beg for their vote. They have hardly any chance to be vocal against the government policy and programme if they are not being influenced by the opposition of the government. They almost remain silent spectators with some doles. The majority of the voters sell their right with the expectation of some relief services.

Humiliation or Death?
Israel has been starving Gazans for months. It cut off all aid to Gaza in March, only to recently approve a US-led, militarised aid site run by the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.” The consequences are not abstract, they are visceral, immediate and devastating. On 27 May in Rafah, thousands of hungry and desperate people surged toward the site seeking food and water. They had no option. One image went viral: Palestinians packed tightly into fenced queues, in a space resembling a cattle chute, waiting under the burning sun for bags containing the bare minimum, flour, canned beans, dry pasta and vegetable oil. It is a calculated, systematic strategy: to fracture people’s spirits in Gaza, strip away Palestinian People’s dignity, and prepare the world, for the next, more acceptable form of violence. It makes Gazans long for death, convincing them it is the better option. Why are Palestinians left with only two options: humiliation or death? They have been reduced to hungry and desperate people with children carrying empty plates. Today the world sees Gazans as a burden, or a threat, or as the former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant put it, “human animals.”

Israel’s Iran War
This is probably the first time Western public sentiment, along with sympathy towards Israel, has been against Israel’s actions. Many Jewish political scientists, historians, writers, students, journalists, politicians, holocaust survivors, former IDF officers, and even non-Jewish southern broadcasters like Morgan Pierce are in harsh criticism of the state called Israel. Je no saed experts from various parts of the world, who are primarily Jewish dominated, are single confessing that what is happening in Gaza is pure mass. This reaction is extraordinary!

Many may know that Israel is officially an atomic-powered state. “Unofficial” is the reason Israel doesn’t allow anyone outside to inspect their country. Israel has never denied to having weapons. Israel has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty despite being occupied with nuclear technology (probably the only nuclear-powered country in the world). IAEA never got permission to inspect in Israel. Yet Iran regularly tests all their nuclear development. Iran is committed to not even making nuclear weapons by signing non-proliferation treaties. Recently, Tulsi Gabbard, not known as pro-Iranian, said the IAEA report that Iran is still a long way to go in creating nuclear weapons in the area of Uranium Enrichment. Yet excuses for illegal weapons are also showing, like the war in Iraq.

Many may also know that Bibi Netanyahu has been claiming since 1994 that Iran will produce nuclear weapons in two years. He hasn’t had “those two years” in the past thirty-two years. In its recommendation, America agreed to engage in the Iraq war, which was no way America's war; it was Israel’s war. This Iranophobia of hers stands for a psychopathic level.

The date of the court’s verdict on his corruption has been postponed. He may have to spend the rest of his life in jail if the Prime Ministership is gone, for corruption and mass. Therefore, the destruction of Iran is necessary for his career. He has pushed the whole world towards uncertainty to characterise his interest.
For one thing, Israel cannot defeat Iran alone. No way possible without America. Even if Iran loses, it may take 50 years to return from the darkness of the Tiny and Highly Dance Population’s Israel will continuously drown by Precision Missile strikes, and even after killing the top leadership of the army can’t suppress Iran.

The Abyss of a Third World War
With the old and unfounded excuse that the Islamic Republic of Iran is building a nuclear bomb, Trump has dragged the United States into war alongside the rogue Israeli state.

This is not an improvised gesture but a long-planned and premeditated move, prepared in the event that the rogue Israeli state was, as indeed it was, gravely hurt by Iran’s legitimate and lethal self-defense.

Openly defying US public opinion and much of his own electorate, Trump has ultimately bowed to the Zionist, militarist, and warmongering circles that plague the White House, the Pentagon, and various centers of US power.

That there were “elective affinities” between Trump and the executioner Netanyahu was well known. There is, in fact, a diabolical symbiosis between the eschatological messianism of the gang of criminals who govern the Zionist entity and that of the North American supremacists who see themselves as the divine messengers charged with leading the world.
