Maya Mohsin Ahmed's opinions 2025

 Palestine appears in the bible just like Israel   Gaza was clearly philistine. 

 Trump said bluntly that he provided bombs to Netanyahu. Now that is an open admission by the US president. To Trump's credit he did pause the supply soon. The Gaza bombings have been happening for two years and we now know who provided the bombs. The next question is who paid for it? May be another Trump press conference will reveal that soon.

 Everywhere people are protecting jobs. They want their own people to do the jobs. I say if they could the would have. People who can do great work do and they always  find a way.

 Do not understand why Abu Safiya is in Israeli jail. He was just doing his job as a doctor. That is his duty under Hippocratic oath.

 When Trump signs Gaza war is over does that mean bombing Gaza is paused? So is it back to rocket throwing Palestinians and land grabbing Israelis? Trump must bite the diplomatic bullet and form two states with impenetrable boundaries. So that  both the countries can  go on with normal lives like the rest of the world. No more rocket throwing nor land grabbing. 

 There was a genocide which got ignored. After the war the nazis were punished. Some war criminals are now parading as heroes.  Will their karma catch up to them?

 The unpredictabilty of Trump is his biggest asset. No one can say what will happen. No greT speeches like Kennedy or Lincoln but his actions may match or do better. Time will tell.

  Some redrawing of boundaries  will be necessary for a two state solution . No point in going back to status quo.  Peace is not possible if  Palestine and Israel do not agree that the other has a right to exist.  Jews in Jerusalem is like Dalai Lama in Tibet . It is their most cherished  home.  But the settlers encroaching on designated  Palestinian land  are criminals.  Once again, a realistic designation needs to be done under international consensus for peace to happen.  Not an international consensus attained by bullying but one attained with some soul searching and humane understanding.

 The sad part about Gaza genocide is that the world is forced to side with the bullies. Hardly anyone can even express an opinion without being targeted. The jewish population very well knows how the world looked the other way when they suffered. Throughout thousands of years of history the Jewish people had to depend on someone powerful to protect their interests. In modern times America has played the role of big brother.  The truth is neither Palestine nor Israel can survive on their own.  That is a shame. So many small countries have existed as sovereign nations forever. The secret is good relations with neighbours. Not a powerful friend in some distant land.

 Israel has clearly demonstrated time and again that it is not accountable for Palestinian lives or property. It will be a shame if the world does not see an urgent need for a country for Palestinians. It has been a horror show so far. A state is a necessity not a reward.  The war on Gaza has disgusted people around the world. Time to do justice.

  It is true that Israel has a right to exist.  For thousands of years now they have tried to build a temple for their God in Jerusalem. Persian kings have helped them time and again.  However there is a narative that is missing of the Palestinian people.   Honestly, no one is talking about the brutality of Israeli settlers. Everyone talks about Palestinian terrorism.  It is clear that it is time for two states to exist. A real border be made with international consensus so that peace can be a reality.
