So far they refused to do anything substantial&nbsp; to stop&nbsp; genocide&nbsp; of&nbsp; Palestinians who were deprived of water,food,medicine, fuel and electricity for more than a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Arab dictators&nbsp; even refused to withdraw their ambassadors&nbsp; from&nbsp; Tel Aviv&nbsp; and&nbsp; Israeli flag continue&nbsp; to fly&nbsp; in&nbsp; Jordan ,Egypt UAE,,Bahrain,Morocco and Sudan&nbsp; while&nbsp; Bolivia,followed by Chile and Columbia,&nbsp; withdraw its ambassador from Tel Aviv&nbsp; in protest against on going genocide of Palestinians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Only after three weeks of bombing&nbsp; and killing more than 8500 Palestinians and flattening almost half of the buildings in Gaza, Bahrain and Jordan decided on 2 November, to withdraw their ambassadors from Tel Aviv demanding to stop the&nbsp; genocide&nbsp; of Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ireland\u2019s Sinn Fein has &nbsp;also called for the envoy\u2019s expulsion for as long as Israel ignores demands for a ceasefire. South Africa recalled all its diplomats&nbsp; saying&nbsp; &nbsp;Israel is threatening the stability of the global system &nbsp;and US is&nbsp; making a peaceful global order sit on tenterhooks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Throughout the&nbsp; Arab&nbsp; world&nbsp; it is&nbsp; dictatorship.People in general and intellectuals in particular are treated as slaves. Most of the intellectuals migrated to countries where they enjoy&nbsp; freedom and recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This applies to secular Palestine Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas who refused to hold elections and continue to implement the evil Israeli designs on&nbsp; his people in return for the patronage and financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These secular&nbsp; dictators,carefully screened,selected and installed in power by their&nbsp; US-Britain and&nbsp; French masters were given one&nbsp; message&nbsp;&nbsp; that they&nbsp; should not&nbsp; allow Islamic forces to rise .The west in general will never allow&nbsp; a political force aligned to Islam&nbsp; in the Middle East-the birth place of Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example in the December 1991 elections in Algeria,&nbsp; Islamic party FIS&nbsp; won 188 seats&nbsp; and won the elections&nbsp; .However France&nbsp; and its secular stooges&nbsp;&nbsp; crushed&nbsp; Islamic forces ,FIS ,and installed a secular military dictator in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the free and fair elections held in the aftermath of the 2010\/11 Arab Spring&nbsp; in Egypt pro Islamic Brotherhood Mohamed Morsy won the elections.&nbsp; US- Europe and Israel got Saudi Arabia,Kuwait and United Arab Emirates to spend eleven billion dollar to&nbsp; overthrow Mohamed Morsy&nbsp; and&nbsp; install&nbsp; military dictator Abdel Fattah Sisi&nbsp;&nbsp; to serve their&nbsp; interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Former US President Donald Trump who signed a 100 billion dollar weapons&nbsp; agreement with Saudi Arabia&nbsp; said that&nbsp; Saudi Arabia, cannot be in power for two weeks without US support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Saudi Arabia ,perhaps the largest importers of weapons from US,Britain and other European countries spending billions.However it is not going to use these weapons against Israel to save Palestinians&nbsp; as it&nbsp; depends on US and maintain secret ties&nbsp; with Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Saudi regime&nbsp;&nbsp; used these weapons to wage war on Yemen and&nbsp; create&nbsp; the worst ever humanitarian crisis&nbsp; besides killing&nbsp; innocent Yemenis and destroying the entire infrastructure.So far Saudi&nbsp; had done nothing to protect the&nbsp; Palestinian civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAE&nbsp; &nbsp;has shown more sympathy toward Israel. A key signatory of the 2020 Abraham Accords, Abu Dhabi&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mofa.gov.ae\/en\/mediahub\/news\/2023\/10\/8\/8-10-2023-uae-population\">issued<\/a>&nbsp;a statement on Oct. 8 which emphasized that attacks by Hamas against Israeli towns and villages near the Gaza Strip, including the firing of thousands of rockets at population centers, are a serious and grave escalation\u201d and condemned Hamas for abducting Israeli civilians as hostages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the&nbsp; 22 Arab&nbsp;&nbsp; countries nine called on the UN Security Council for &nbsp;immediate cease fire&nbsp; in Gaza and West Bank.Egypt, the largest and most populous Arab country,is not going to lift a finger to help&nbsp; as it&nbsp; depends on US financial help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However once again, the Arab street is the epicenter of peaceful demands for change. Apart&nbsp; from worldwide protests &nbsp;demonstrations have swept across the region\u2014including notable demonstrations in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moroccoworldnews.com\/2023\/10\/358297\/mass-protests-erupt-across-moroccan-cities-in-solidarity-with-palestine\">Casablanca<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newarab.com\/news\/algerians-protest-palestine-despite-protest-ban\">Algiers<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/10\/12\/this-is-a-critical-moment-tunisian-protesters-show-support-for-palestine\">Tunis<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/israel-palestine-egypt-protest-erupts-cairo-tahrir-square\">Cairo<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uveM9WtUPpM\">Amman<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lebanon-israel-hezbollah-hamas-clashes-712b8a74ba5615ce65feb26f4dcbdd80\">Beirut<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=08fr357E3_U\">Damascus<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sNgadbAA2os\">Baghdad<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/10\/16\/mapping-protests-held-in-solidarity-with-palestine\">Manama<\/a>\u2014in support of the Palestinians in Gaza and their basic human rights in the face of an ongoing Israeli military assault and horrifying living conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;US-European governments care a damn for the Arab dictators&nbsp; .For example the&nbsp; day after &nbsp;US &nbsp;&nbsp;approved a $14.3 billion military aid package for Israel, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in his third visit to Israel spoke of the need to minimise, not stopping, the killing&nbsp; of Palestinians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pathetic state of affairs in the Middle East is such that <em><strong>Aleida Guevara<\/strong><\/em>, &nbsp;daughter of the legendary Che Guevara&nbsp; , asked why the Arab dictators remain silent and what are they waiting for without acting to save the Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erenst &#8220;Che&#8221; Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. &nbsp;In a statement&nbsp; Guevara\u2019s sixty three year old daughter&nbsp; <em>Aleida Guevara <\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em>asked;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O Arabs.What are you waiting for? What is happening in Gaza&nbsp; and when will this&nbsp;&nbsp; end? Are you waiting until Israel achieve its dream? Isn&#8217;t it time you save your brothers and sisters, your blood,&nbsp; people of your religion and culture. Isn&#8217;t it time for Arab rulers to&nbsp;&nbsp; unite to save the Palestinians. I live&nbsp; &nbsp;far away from you but&nbsp; my heart is with&nbsp;&nbsp; my Palestinian brothers and sisters.I am&nbsp; a doctor.If I can enter Gaza I will&nbsp; be with the Palestinians to help them.I am not worried about my life . Oh Palestinians continue your struggle. Move ahead thinking either freedom or death&nbsp; until victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israeli genocide in Gaza showed the whole world the evil and\u00a0 cruel nature of Zionist Jews and their US,European supporters .
