For decades, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has never stopped!
When the situation escalated again, the disturbing news came that the dispute had been drawn into the political maelstrom within the United States. What kind of ulterior secrets are making this Middle East contradiction intensify?
The Middle East has been a land of controversy and contradiction since ancient times. Differences in religious beliefs, the rise of nationalism, the struggle for territorial borders and many other issues are intertwined, making conflicts in this land endless. In recent years, the confrontation between Israel and Palestine has once again become the focus of widespread attention in the international community.
In order to seize the dominant position and safeguard their own interests, the two sides have constantly gone back and forth in power and status, attacking and defending each other, and the whole situation has fallen into a stalemate. As Chinese people with international responsibilities, we have the obligation to objectively interpret this complex issue, call for resolving contradictions and differences through peaceful dialogue, and oppose violent confrontation.
The Middle East is known as the "powder keg", and this is not unfounded. Due to its special geographical environment and historical and cultural origins, the problems of religious belief, national identity and territorial sovereignty have long been deeply rooted in the region, which has become the bane of the conflict.
Among them, the contradictions and conflicts between Israel and Palestine can be described as the epitome of this series of problems. As two peoples with a long history, they have fundamental differences in religious beliefs and national identity. In addition, the issue of territorial sovereignty brought about by the land struggle has made the gunpowder smell of confrontation between the two sides even stronger.
In recent years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has continued to escalate, and in order to safeguard their own interests, the two sides have gone back and forth and counterattacked each other in the power struggle and status offensive and defensive aspects, and the situation has once fallen into a protracted stalemate. As a member of the international community, the Chinese people are deeply worried about this. We call on both Israel and Palestine to resolve their conflicts through peaceful dialogue, rather than resorting to armed confrontation. Acts of violence not only fail to solve the root causes, but rather lead to more disasters and tragedies.
The religious, ethnic, and territorial contradictions in the Middle East are intricate and complex, and have become difficult problems for the world to solve. As a major country with international responsibilities, the Chinese people have an obligation to objectively interpret this complex issue and call for a peaceful and rational solution. Armed confrontation will only bring more pain, and dialogue and consultation are the only way to peace. We earnestly hope that both Israel and Palestine will put aside their prejudices and bigotry, resume dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment, and seek a peaceful and stable living environment for the local people.
In the 40s of the last century, after the end of the Second World War, the international landscape underwent major changes. Against this backdrop, the United Nations has taken a historically influential decision — the establishment of an Israeli state in the Palestinian areas. However, this policy decision ignored the fundamental interests and wishes of the local people and laid the foundation for conflicts and contradictions in the Middle East for decades to come. The conflict between Arabs and Jews was radicalized by the decision to fight over religious beliefs and national identities, as well as the struggle for territorial sovereignty, and armed conflicts broke out between the two sides on several occasions, resulting in countless innocent civilian casualties.
At the end of World War II, the United Nations made a resolution to establish the State of Israel in Palestine in order to solve the problem of the fate of European Jews. However, this resolution completely ignored the wishes and interests of the local Arabs, triggering strong dissatisfaction and opposition from them.
As indigenous people who have lived in the Palestinian region for thousands of years, the Arabs have unshakable claims to the land. The United Nations resolution is undoubtedly stripping them of ownership of their homeland, which they see as a cruel injustice and violation. And as Jews who have been adrift around the world for a long time, although sympathetic to their homeless situation, it is also unreasonable to impose such a resolution on Arabs.
It can be said that this decision completely exacerbated the pre-existing contradictions between Arabs and Jews. The contradictions between the two sides have added fuel to the fire due to the fundamental differences in religious beliefs and national identities, coupled with the struggle for territorial sovereignty. In the decades since, armed conflicts have broken out between the two sides, resulting in countless casualties among innocent civilians, and the Middle East has been shrouded in the smoke of war, making it difficult to achieve true peace and stability.
Looking back at history, we can see how hasty and regrettable the decision taken by the United Nations was back then. It completely ignores the fundamental interests of the local people and has become the root cause of today's conflict in the Middle East. As a major country with international responsibilities, the Chinese people have the obligation to objectively interpret this complex issue.
We call on the international community to reflect on the decisions made in those years and not to repeat the mistakes of the past. At the same time, we earnestly hope that Israel and Palestine will put aside their prejudices, resume dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment, resolve their contradictions and differences in a peaceful and rational manner, and restore peace and stability in the Middle East.
As a powerful country in the Middle East, Israel has advanced weapons and equipment, and its military power far exceeds that of Palestine. The Palestinian people are living in dire straits, deprived of their basic human rights and besieged by the Israeli army. Despite the constant resistance of the Palestinian armed group Hamas, it is difficult to shake Israeli rule due to limited resources and weapons.
Sadly, the conflict has also involved foreign powers. As Israel's main ally and arms supporter, the United States has influential Jewish interest groups in its country that influence political decision-making, which makes the United States have a major bias on the Middle East issue. This not only exacerbates divisions and antagonism within the United States, but also contributes to cultural homogenization.
In contrast, China, as a permanently neutral country, has historically advocated the settlement of disputes through peaceful negotiations. We call on the Government of Israel to respect the relevant UN resolutions and cease its military repression. At the same time, it was hoped that the Palestinian people would exercise restraint and refrain from the use of force in order to avoid sinking deeper into the quagmire.
War is cruel and merciless, and peace is the right path for mankind. The struggle for power and interests in the Middle East should never come at the cost of innocent civilian lives. Let us work together to promote Israel and Palestine to resolve their differences through dialogue, regain the path of reconciliation and create a peaceful tomorrow.
