America and Israel; A Tale of Two Cultures By Najeeb Wali

Many an analyst at times ask a billion dollar question; why does the USA irrationally support Israel? The question above has puzzled billions of minds from multiple generations, the irony is, the answer stares right in our Face. Israel and the US share a strikingly similar mentality and History.

The US strong belief in “Manifest destiny” strongly Mirrors the Israeli belief of them being the “chosen people” who is the bedrock of both cultures inherent racism and it, they find justification.
The US was founded on Native American Land via a policy of Systematic genocides, it was brutal, using every means at their disposal.
The Americas prior to the arrival of the settlers was a thriving civilization with cities as advanced as Europe and a Population exceeding Europe.
The settler, to justify their actions perpetuated the fallacy of going on a “civilizing” mission, calling the natives “Savages” and Brutes of the earth; some estimated the early American settlers were responsible for about a hundred million deaths.
Some generations down the line, the natives were reduced to living on “Reservations” on their ancestral land, like wild animals.
The US keeps the descendants of the natives from their ancestral home by building massive separation walls at borders in the south, ditto Israel, at the West Bank.
Theodor Herzl Father of Zionism went about saying Palestine was a desert without an indigenous population, thus the myth of Israel making “the desert bloom" was born. However, in reality, Palestine was a thriving commercial and cultural center with rich orchards and bustling cities.
Here is an example American and Israeli quote on their victims:
“…. Brutal Indian savages..”
Declaration of Independence.
“The Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs”
– Menahim Begin.
Alas a group who suffered persecution under Nazi Germany is ironically perpetuating same policies it suffered from.
In every facet, you’ll see a striking similarity between Israeli policy and American settlers policy and by extension, the treatment meted out/being meted out to the native Americans and Palestinians.
The oppressor claims oppression, the bully cites self defense, sad tale of two cultures.
It is the hope of every soul with humanity, they get justice.

Niger Republic; an avoidable quagmire.

Image
The recent coup in Niger republic is threatening to be the last straw that may break the camel's back in view of the delicate situation in the sahelian belt of Africa. The coup, which has been executed successfully is facing stiff resistance externally especially from the United States, France and Nigeria whilst also enjoying a modicum of support internally and also externally from ideologically/culturally and neighboring states.  Niger lies near the center of Africa’s Sahel region, a narrow band of semi-arid land where the savanna transitions to the Sahara Desert. Like most Sahel countries, Niger’s population is concentrated in the more fertile south of the sahel, with vast expanses of largely uninhabited desert constituting the majority of the country, though some population centres thrive in the north due to mining activities. Mohamed Bazoum, the former President of Niger republic was ousted in a military coup on the 26th of July and was promptly replaced by a junta

Nigeria and the emerging multi-polar world order.

"There are decades where nothing happens; and weeks where decades happen"      - Vladimir Lenin Nigeria is behemoth saddled with a burden of destiny, a burden of being a beacon and guide for the African continent and other nations of the global south. Factors such as a strategic geographical location, huge landmass (Nigeria is bigger than Germany, France and Belgium combined), a population of two hundred and twenty million (more than France, Germany and Britain combined) serve to make her the epicenter and centre of gravity of the African continent.  To buttress her centrality, Nigeria was at the forefront of support of the anti-apartheid movement, giving sanctuary to activists, financial subsidies and diplomatic support. Nigeria also brought an end to a raging civil war in Liberia and Seirra Leone using mechanisms like the ECOMOG where Nigeria invested the blood of her sons and her treasure to bring peace to sister nations of Africa. Nigeria's successful inte

Mental Rebirth, a panacea for learned helplessness and societal/individual degeneration.

.... Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves....  Q13V11 'For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he' Proverbs 23:7 The Prophet SAW dispatched a contingent of the army, Upon their return, he SAW said: ‘Blessed are those who have performed the minor jihad and have yet to perform the major jihad.’ When asked, ‘What is the major jihad?’ the Prophet SAW replied: ‘The jihad of the mind'. The following story serves to highlight neurological pathways and patterns to learned helplessness in individuals and collective behaviours; 5 monkeys were placed in a cage as part of an experiment. In the middle of the cage was a ladder with bananas on the top rung. Every time a monkey tried to climb the ladder, the experimenter sprayed all of the monkeys with icy water. Eventually, each time a monkey started to climb the ladder, the other ones pulled him off and beat him up so they could avoid the icy spray. Soon, no monkey
