The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 179
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order Therefore the U. N. acted ultra vires in creating Israel. There is no basis for the creation of that country. In creating this country the most dreadful and oppressive role has been played by U. S. This is a fact implanted permanently in Muslims memory. Although, for a long lime, the Arabs have called it an Arab issue, yet the rest of the Muslims have a utomatically been involved in this issue because this has remained firmly established and engraved in their heart. ISRAELI EXCESSES AND THE AMERICAN VETO In fact the creation of Israel is not an act of enmity against the Arabs but against Islam. Time and again, this has manifested itself in various forms. For instance, at times, Israel has committed such dreadful atrocities on the Palestinians that even the mere thought of it makes one's hair stand on end and hearts bleed. The Israeli's have butchered men, women, children and elderly in such a way that in one camp they did not leave a single soul alive. They even butchered suckling babies yet the whole world did not pay any heed to it nor did America feel an y shame. Rather, whenever the U. N. tried to pass any strongly worded resolution against Israel, U. S. always vetoed it. This bas been going on for a long time. THE UNITED NATIONS - DOES IT MERIT THIS NAME? Now the question arises, does the U. N. deserve such a name when only five nations i. e. those permanent members who have the VETO power, possess the right to determine the destiny of the world? Even if world opinion is united, one of these five countries has the right to reject that opinion. For all intents and purposes that one country will then become the whole world. In fact, the same principle operated in the background to the present U. N. decision. When President Bush haughtily asks the question "how dare Iraq stand up against world opinion" everyone knows that by world opinion, it is the American opinion that is meant or the opinion of President Bush. In that threat, there is such conceited arrogance that hwnan nature abhors it. From the Muslim view point, Western military action is usually biased against Muslims and so the attack on Iraq is viewed in that light irrespective of the fact that Iraq was the first to commit aggression. 179
