Should the World Intervene in the Israeli-Hamas Conflict?
r rThe only reason any country, especially those claiming to be humanitarian and valuing human life, should intervene in the ongoing Israeli-Hamas conflict is for the following reasons:
r rImmediate Release and Safety of Hostages
r rA - Demand an immediate release of all hostages, whether they are still alive or deceased. This is a matter of human rights and moral responsibility.
r rComplete Dissolution and Disarmament of Hamas
r rB - Demand and immediate surrender of Hamas to the IDF, leading to the complete and total dissolution and disarmament of the terrorist organization. This is vital for ensuring peace and security in the region.
r rWhy Intervention Might Be Ignored
r rHowever, if the world was a fair place and antisemitism did not exist among nations and their leaders, we might have heard calls for true moral action on October 8th. This is when human conscience should have dictated a demand for these actions.
r rThe Price of Intervention
r rIt is important to note that opposing the right of Israel to defend itself and its civilians is a form of interference. Is any country willing to risk sending its own men, women, and families to fight and possibly die for the liberation of Israeli hostages held by Hamas?
r rThe answer is no. No country should or would sacrifice its own people to fight the wars of other nations, even if the war is just.
r rAlternatives to Intervention
r rIt is important to consider that volunteers willing to go into these conflicts are appreciated, but it is not the role of every nation to fight the wars of other nations. If a nation truly cares, it can volunteer its people, just as Israel has done for Turkey and Syria during times of crisis.
r rIsrael's Stance
r rIsrael does not intervene in the business of other nations. While some Israelis have volunteered to fight in Ukraine, Israel does not send its people to fight for another nation. Israel relies on itself for its wars and does what it has always done: using its resources and capabilities to protect its citizens and allies.
r rConclusion
r rUltimately, the decision to intervene or not should be based on ethical and practical considerations. While Israel may not have true alliances in the current conflict, it will continue to rely on itself to secure its interests and those of its people. It is crucial for other nations to consider their roles and responsibilities before calling for intervention.
