Biden’s bombs and missiles, dropped daily on Lebanon, a U.S. ally, by his puppet master Netanyahu, is wreaking havoc in this small defenseless country. The Israeli genocidal machine is waging an incinerating assault on fleeing civilians and critical facilities. The scorched-earth Israeli strategy is the same as what we have seen in Gaza.

The dangers should be plastered on every wall in every office occupied by a military and political advisor. Israel’s attempt to reshape the Middle East, far from giving it enduring security, will merely serve to make it more vulnerable and unstable than ever. In that mix and mess will be its greatest sponsor and guardian, the United States, a giant of almost blind antiquity in all matters concerning the Jewish state.

On Thursday, Israeli forces killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, during a firefight in Rafah. The killing of Sinwar prompted statements of unrestrained support for the Netanyahu government by the leaders of the United States, France, Germany and the UK, who used the occasion to openly endorse Netanyahu’s campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing against a population of 2.2 million people.

In the time of heroes, history records names that never die with their bodies, but remain alive with every step toward freedom. In Fairouz’s play Jibal Al-Sawan, the hero dies at the city gate while fighting, and his daughter cries out to the occupier, (My father has died, but the idea of liberation remains.) That same idea, the idea of undying freedom, echoed amidst the deep sorrow that spread across Palestine when the leader Yahya Sinwar was martyred.

“There will be no civil war” in Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on June 18. But he might be wrong. Netanyahu’s statement was made in the context of the growing popular protests in Israel, especially following the long-anticipated resignations of several Israeli War Cabinet Ministers, including Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot – both former chiefs of staff in the Israeli army.

The United States has provided Israel with more than $6.5 billion in weapons since October 7, the White House said Wednesday, underscoring the scale of the Biden administration’s support for the continuing genocide in Gaza. Doled out over just nine months, this figure is nearly double the US’s typical annual Israel military aid budget of $3.4 billion and will be further supplemented by $14 billion in weapons funding allocated by Congress this year.

The campus of Nalnda was inaugurated formally by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi on 19th June (2024) in presence of Ambassadors of many countries like Myanmar, Srilanka, Vietnam, Japan, Korea among others.

From a human perspective, the collapse of a dream is a universal experience, one shared by many. I believe that the feeling of catastrophe is among the most excruciating emotions humans can face. Novels like Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” and Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” allude to this concept. Even the religious narrative that explains the beginning of life on Earth starts with the expulsion of Adam and Eve.
