On the Anniversary of 9/11 attacks, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is blaming the US for the genocide of Palestinians orthodox Muslims including Hamas, in Gaza, West Bank, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Admitting the crime (of genocide), he confirmed that Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and Intelligence units carried out the killings of Palestinians and “We did exactly what America did”. Tel Aviv quoted what America did in the wake of 11 September 2021, when US President promised, “to hunt down the terrorists who committed this heinous crime, wherever they may be. And it also passed a resolution in the Security Council of the UN two weeks later that said that governments cannot give harbor to terrorists.” The fact cannot be denied that alone in Afghanistan and Pakistan America ruthlessly killed over 1.6 million orthodox Afghan Muslim men, women and children without trial or regret.

Prime Minister Netanyahu compared 7 October 2023 attack inside Israel, which he termed as worst savagery against the Jewish people with 11 September attacks by few American nationals of Arab origin, who hijacked four local commercial aero-planes and crashed at US Intelligence hub of Twin Towers and military headquarters at Pentagon in which around 3,000 people were killed. Israeli Prime Minister claims Israel followed American approach and eliminated terrorists including recent attack on Qatar, accusing the Arab nation of harboring terrorists, financing Hamas and giving its leaders mansions.

Similarly, India is taking 26 November 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 166 people were killed as license to eliminate Muslim in Pakistan, India, Indian held Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere. India also followed the same pattern of the US and Israel when Prime Minister of India Narenda Modi announced, “India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers. "We will pursue them to the ends of the Earth." When in the Prime Minister Modi was asked about India’s recent missile attack inside Pakistan, his reply was simple, “We did exactly what America and Israel did”. Ironically, in contrary the US harbored Mumbai attack terrorists including American nationals of Indian origin Chicago businessman Tahawwur Hussain Rana and David Coleman Headley?

One wonders if this is the case; there are hundred and thousands of terrorists and outlaws who have taken asylum or illegally living in Western countries including US, Canada, Britain and elsewhere, should the aggrieved countries be allowed to ruthlessly kill them, their families, facilitators and the countries that are harbouring them? The Western democracies, especially the US and unrecognized ally Israel must end this state sponsored terrorism, targeting unarmed innocents people without trials. We have time to get civilized but if allies and US still feel justified let us table a resolution at the UNO to legitimate such state sponsored killings so that all nations equally benefit from this uncivilized, inhuman and barbaric mindset.
