The peace-loving Jews of USA, Israel, Britain and Ireland do not know that a game of blood and horrifying genocide is being played in their names. In a recent development, US State Department confirmed that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited West Bank, Palestine on 5 November 2023, but the trip was kept secret till the time Blinken had not physically left the West Bank. Attributing to Spokesperson Matthew Miller on 5 November 2023, said, “Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken met today in Ramallah with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.” International Media groups and channels have also run stories of the Secretary of State's courteous visit to West Bank in the midst of protests and angry Palestinian mobs. Those, which covered the Secretary of State’s visit to the West Bank, included all the media around the world. However, the fact cannot be denied that US Secretary of State Blinken never visited West Bank or Palestinian territories after the 7 October 2023, attacks.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on 29 January 2023, where the President of Palestine complaint about Israel's aggression where 35 Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli troops and seven civilians were shot dead by a Palestinian attacker in Jerusalem outside a synagogue on Friday and agreed in principle to two-state solution. Blinken promised $50 million in new economic assistance to Palestinians over the next two years, on top of $890 million already pledged, and 4G high-speed telecom services in the West Bank. Later on 4 November 2023, Secretary of State Blinken met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman, Jordan. There is no other visit that Washington can claim.

 In fact, US is trying to act as a peacemaker but the Palestinians have rejected any mediation by the Western partners of Israel including some Muslim countries as these facilitators are accountable under, “State Sponsored Terrorism” and party to “Israeli War Crimes ” including the genocide of Palestinian orthodox Muslims. Secretary of State is quoted to have said, “We’re working very hard to make sure that the conflict in Gaza does not escalate, does not spread to other places. Whether it’s here, whether it’s elsewhere in the region,” but who carried out attacks on Syria, Iraq and Saudi border? Even after 7 October attacks, the Pentagon confirmed, “Since our self-defense strikes on 26 October, there’ve been six additional… three in Iraq, three in Syria. Right now, we’re tracking a total of 27 attacks, sixteen in Iraq, eleven in Syria”.

 Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is hosting an extraordinary meeting of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on 12 November 2023, at Riyadh. There is a demand from the Muslim nations implementation of UNO Partition Plan dated 29 November 1947, with Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. If we recall, on 30 December 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give its opinion on the legal implications of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories. In addition to this, those nations who are accomplices in the Israeli genocide of Palestinian orthodox Muslims of Gaza and other war crimes must be trialed on the charges of “State-Sponsored terrorism”. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other Muslim and Latin American and African countries have plans to bring peace and demand accountability of war criminals and terrorists. 

It is high time that the United Nations Organizations, which have been made hostages through blackmailing of closure of all funding and killing of its workers in Gaza, be empowered to restore peace and implement laws of terrorism upon the nations who are engaged in these crimes. In the US, international terrorism is designated pursuant to three laws: section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act, section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act. Hence, sanctions include restrictions on receiving foreign assistance from countries involved; a ban on their defense exports and sales; financial and other restrictions as well as penalizing countries and individuals engaged in trade with them. To bring a halt to the evil of terrorist activity, Israel along with allies’ assets must be blocked including individuals and entities that pose a risk of committing acts of terrorism.

Under the tremendous pressure of international isolation, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken today's  5th November 2023, visit to Turkey is significant. A day earlier, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan announced, “Gaza must be part of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital once the Israel-Hamas war is over, and Ankara will not support any plans gradually erasing Palestinians from history”. Turkey has already announced that Ankara does not view Hamas as a terrorist organization and recalled its Ambassador to Israel, Sakir Ozkan Torunlar, for consultations, after Israel recalled its envoys to Turkey last month on recognizing Hamas as freedom fighters, as well as due to Israeli bombing on Gaza. If we recall, Saudi Minister of Defense, Prince Khalid bin Salman visited Washington and held a meeting with US Secretary of State and discussed ways to end Israeli aggression against unarmed Palestinians. Saudi Arabia did not agree to the plans of replacing Hamas’s control over Gaza. The movement of Turkish Naval Fleet in the Mediterranean and consultations with other nations is quite alarming for the Westerners.
Israeli leadership including the Prime Minister and Defence Minister issued statements including, "We will wipe this thing called Hamas off the face of the earth”, “Any place Hamas deploys, in this evil city, all the places Hamas is hiding, operating, we will turn it into a ruin”. There is on-ground evidence of the same in Gaza where thousands of orthodox Muslim men, women, and children have been targeted as part of genocide. One wonders why world is silent spectators.
Today, US, Israel, Britain, France, and other allies, party to Israel's war crimes and planned genocide of Palestinian Orthodox Muslims are facing their trials of conscience.  A number of countries have withdrawn their Ambassadors from Israel, some of them expelled Israeli Ambassadors from their countries while others are planning to do the same. Some of the countries that withdrew their Ambassadors include Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Bahrain, Oman, Libya, Pakistan (which already has no diplomatic relations with Israel), Afghanistan, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru and El Salvador, South Africa, Iraq etc.
The “Abu Righal”, a legendary traitor in pre-Islamic legend of the Muslim world must stir their consciences. The same message is for God-fearing Davidians, Jews, and Christians, the followers of Divine religions that they must follow their religion in true letter and spirit; the Justice system commanded by their Prophets. Indeed, it is a test case to open the eyes of peace-loving people of our world to get UNO and International Human Rights organizations as well as media free from the evil perpetrators of war crimes and genocide.

MAINWALI, 4 NOVEMBER 2023, TON: In an incident at the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) training base at Mainwali, a fuel tanker was completely destroyed and minor damage was caused to three grounded aircraft. Witnesses on the site of the incident claimed, “We have seen that minor damage to the unserviceable old aircrafts and fuel tanker was due to the firing of security personnel”. It could not be as yet confirmed through independent sources about firing on civilians at the PAF gate.

Press release issued by military authorities said, “On 04 November 2023, in the early hours of the day, Mianwali Training Air Base of Pakistan Air Force came under a failed terrorist which Allahamdullah due to the swift and effective response by the troops has been foiled and thwarted ensuring the safety and security of personnel and assets, demonstrating exceptional courage and timely response 3 x terrorists were neutralized while entering the base remaining three terrorists have been cornered/ isolated due to timely and effective responses by the troops. However, during the attack some damage to three already grounded aircrafts and a fuel bowser also occurred. A comprehensive joint clearance and combing operation is in final stages to clear the area. Pakistan Armed Forces remains committed to eliminating menace of terrorism from the country at all costs.”

Backing out from the earlier claims that Israel Defense Forces have pushed their way inside Gaza and surrounded the stronghold of Hamas on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a new statement on 3 November 2023, with images as proof that Israel has launched a ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip on Friday. Gallant, said, “We are clashing with Hamas and have killed numerous terror operatives”. He added. “Israeli Army is advancing according to the plan.” Interestingly this fake news has not been confirmed by Hamas Political Authority. One Palestinian admitted that she saw two old version tanks but no movement going back. Many Palestinians have admitted that the “baby killers” have intensified aerial bombing and drone attacks, martyring scores of innocent women and children. Scattered bodies, especially dead bodies of infants and children reflected horrifying scenes of terrorism.

One Palestinian said, “We are the original inhabitants of Palestine and Gaza, why we should leave… the graves of our great great grandfathers are here in this land. Our only sin is that being followers of the Divine religion of Hazrat Mussa (Alhe Salam) and Hazrat Eassa (Alhe Salam) we started believing in the last Prophet Mohammad Alhe Salam (Sal Allah Alhe Wasalam)”. We will not allow so-called Indian Jews and Persian Jews to take away our ancestral lands”. Another Palestinian said, “Our Prophets Alhe Salam are buried in this sacred land and there are our holy places. We do not stop Jews from paying homage under the law”.

Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces have asked their commanders that they cannot operate under international pressure dubbing Israelis as aggressors, barbaric, and war criminals. There were reports of Inquiry of some of the Israeli personnel and their officers under the charge of cowardice. Some tanks entered Gaza and when faced with no resistance… rushed back as it seemed a trap to arrest more Israelis and kill them through the Palestinian public.

In another development, after Tehran disassociated with war on Israel, Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah said in a public speech that his group is not moved by US warnings to stay out of the war. In another statement, he admitted Hezbollah has not announced war on Israel and talks with Americans and Lebanese leadership is in progress”. Apparently, in another positive development, the Palestinian Political Authority have announced that they would release “Terms of Peace and their demands” in the next one or two days. Hamas authority in Gaza has not denied this report, however, no further details were available. One wonders if Israeli leadership announced a call for a “Peace Dialogue”, they would not be facing humiliation or it would injure their prestige rather they would regarded as true followers of Moses (May Peace be Upon Him). It is a golden chance for peace rather both sides should continue mourning their loved ones.

In the latest development, King Salman bin Abdulaziz has donated Saudi Riyal 30 million while Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has donated Saudi Riyal 20 million to the Palestinians of Gaza. In another development, the Saudi Minister of Defense, Prince Khalid bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, has met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the State Department in Washington and discussed ways to end Israeli aggression against unarmed Palestinians of Gaza. However, Washington has some other plans too where Secretary of State Blinken will visit Israel, Jordan, Tokyo, Japan, Korea, and India from 2 to 10 November 2023.

There is no doubt, that Israel played an aggressor but the actors who desire to continue creating a rift between Jews and Muslims to keep them away from the path of peace are this time unsuccessful. Brigadier General Yahya Saree, a spokesperson for the Houthi forces, in a statement to local TV said, “Our armed forces launched a large batch of ballistic and winged missiles and a large number of drones at various targets of the Israeli enemy.” Brigadier General Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary said, “The missiles were fired by Houthi forces in Yemen and were launched toward targets in Israel but US warship near the coast of Yemen shot down four cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of nine hours as they were heading north along the Red Sea. These statements were only meant to win the Jewish card and earn billions of dollars under the head of “Security of Jewish State against Muslim Terrorism”. The Jewish civilians must have realized by now that Hamas is not a terrorist organization not Muslims are against the Jews, however, recognition of State of Israel is a separate issue.

Washington has exposed some of its cards; using Iran to capture the stage but it failed. Then it was Hizbullah but it failed too. It was followed by Qatar as chief negotiator and persuading Palestinians to leave Gaza and bring surrendered expelled Hamas but it failed. Now it is Houthi rebels in Yemen but nothing much is expected that may change the scenario. As things are unfolding, it can be safely said that Israel and Hamas are going to have a dialogue very soon through the good offices of Turkey and Saudi Arabia. There is no doubt that Israeli Shin Bet and Mossad planned extremely well along with above actors and attacked their own people on Israel innocent Jew civilians as well as some military personnel on 7th October. The state-sponsored terrorism and drama to build consensus against Hamas has been exposed and it is time that peace efforts in the Middle East, especially Statehood to the Palestinians must be worked out before it ends with chaos and disaster in other parts of the world.

If we recall, a Houthi delegation visited Saudi Arabia in the third week of September 2023 and there was agreement in principle on a ceasefire between Saudi Arabia and Yemen but after the announcement that Saudi ambassador to Palestine, Nayef al-Sudairi would visit West Bank on 26 September, a day earlier on 25 September, a suspected Houthi drone attack at Saudi-led coalition near Saudi Arabia border with Yemen killed at least four Bahraini soldiers and wounded multiple others. Similarly, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in a statement said, “We need to use the last political opportunities to stop the war and if the situation gets out of control, no side will be safe from its consequences.” The U.S. intelligence community has also issued a clean chit that Iran is not currently seeking a direct war with the US and is not behind the 7 October attack on Israel. We should not forget that politeness in the tone is due to US agreement with Iran to transfer $6 billion in frozen funds through Qatar. As things are reflecting a clearer picture, Turkey and Saudi Arabia are attempting to resolve the issue. It is high time that both Jews and Muslims of the sacred land of Palestine must cooperate to bring long-lasting peace.

A cowardly aerial attack by Israeli drones on the civilian population at Jabaliya camp in the Gaza Strip left screaming children and parents taking out dead bodies of their children from the debris. Horrifying scenes of human bodies scattered everywhere remind of the worst mindset. A Muslim Palestinian was shouting “These baby killers! May God’s curse be upon them”. The Israelis neither allow the United Nations Organization and Human Rights organizations in Gaza nor these organizations have any plan to bring peace as the only announcement from them is asking Palestinians to move to the South or leave Gaza. Turkey and Saudi Arabia apparently have plans for peace and is the only ray of hope to negotiate a peace deal between Hamas of Gaza and Israelis including the release of Israeli prisoners, who entered Gaza on 7 October.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry, Amir-Abdollahian met Ismail Haniyeh before leaving Qatar for the Turkish capital Ankara. Amir-Abdollahian also met with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Qatar, which has been mediating talks with surrendered Hamas holed up at Doha and Israeli authorities.  Many Muslim nations especially Palestinians see moves of Iran – Qatar and Ismail Haniyeh with doubts and suspicion. Qatar coordinated with Egypt to open the Rafah crossing, the only official exit gate from Gaza to Egypt on 1 November 2023, to allow foreign nationals and the severely injured to leave the Palestinian enclave. However, with the exception of two families and some individuals, no one left their homes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement said, "We will continue until victory over Hamas” and Palestinians. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant claims that ground operations inside Gaza have started operations and there is strong cooperation between ground and air forces. The Minister, expressing satisfaction over hitting terrorists of all levels, from fighters in the field to high-ranked ones, acknowledged that there are casualties in this battle on the part of the Israelis as well. Israeli Army Radio made the announcement by Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, “Israeli operations in Gaza were moving forward, with thousands of targets destroyed. However, as of 2 November, the local Palestinians have denied all reports of Israeli forces ground attack or the presence of Israeli forces. A Palestinian young boy showed stones in his packets and claimed, “Israelis cannot dare enter Gaza we would storm them with stones; they dare not to put their feet inside Gaza”. The Palestinians are defending their homeland alone and Israelis are backed by world powers; where is their conscience?

In the latest development the American and European Navies have been put on high alert, after at least three Turkish Navy ships along with some drill ships already deployed since April 2023, took positions near Point Cyprus, Point Gaza, and an undisclosed location in the Mediterranean Sea. More activities are expected over the weekend. Greece and Cyprus, which were not asked for their consent, were used by the Western Navies as harbours. Europe planned a pipeline that would carry Palestinian gas from the Tamar and Leviathan fields, Palestinian territories under Israeli occupation to Europe. But all these moves proved in vain.

As the drama staged after Israeli Defence Forces attacked its own people inside Israel on 7th October has entered into the fourth week, the picture is much clearer. Besides Palestine being a sacred holy land for the Muslims and for the other Divine religions, there are vast natural gas reserves in the maritime territory of Palestine. The same are the main causes why Westerners moved Jews in the Muslim land of Palestine and do not allow the State to stabilize. In fact, they could not take away Palestine from the Muslims because they are son of soil and religiously affiliated with this sacred land so they used Jews to take Palestine but later Israelis would be sidelined as history repeats itself.

No one can deny the fact that a small Jewish community formed part of the Ottoman Empire’s minority with equal rights and full freedom to profess their religion. Palestine was a peaceful State under the Ottoman Empire. If we recall, the French and Germans were natural allies of Ottoman Empire and had always close relations with the Muslims. French were engaged in the minor construction of Suez Canal and enjoyed autonomy during Mehmet Ali’s in the years 1830 to 1840. British also requested Ottoman Empire for safe passage through Suez Canal and trade concessions, which were also extended to the French.

An agreement of 1869 stipulated that the lands bordering the canal would be held in common and equal by the Egyptian government and Le Suez (The Suez Canal Company) as a concession. Later in 1875, Ismail Pasha sold Egypt’s share to the British. During the First World War, the Turkish warship commanded by Germans attacked on Russian port of Black Sea on 29 October 1914. Later Turkey formally announced entry into the war in November 1914. Taking advantage of unarmed Palestine, British troops in July 1916 used caravan route from Sinai desert to Al Arish and Rafa. British set up its camps at Al Arish and established its control in December 1916. Later the British took control of Gaza and Beer Sabah (Beer Sheeba) in November 1917. In January 1918, the British were in control of Jaffa and Jerusalem. Now it is apparent why the British gave the idea of “a national home for the Jewish people”, especially Zionists of Great Britain and Ireland by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Belfour in his letter dated 2 November, to British Jewish Community leader Lord Rothschild, published in the press on 9 November 1917. The same letter that had approval of His Majesty’s Government extended the guarantee, “Nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine”.

If we trace back the Muslim Palestinians are the original inhabitants and it is not easy to get rid of them. The Israeli self-engineered 7th October attack inside Israel was aimed to legitimate genocide of Palestinian Muslims. Tel Aviv found the only convenient way is to eliminate the leadership of Palestine and its active members is through mass barbaric killings of Muslims. Israelis and Americans have planned to settle the Indian Hindus, a faction consisting of self proclaimed Indian Muslims, Persian dissidents and Baháʼís here in Palestine.

Things are getting out of hand. The so-called Israeli war on Palestine has entered the fourth week with no traces of single personnel of Israeli 98th Division inside Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Israeli Army and intelligence chiefs for the disaster and un-implementable plan to eliminate Hamas and take control of Gaza.

 The leaders of US, Britain, France, Germany and Italy who were vocal and issued statements guaranteeing, “united support to the State of Israel” and instigated Tel Aviv to target Hamas leadership and those supportive civilian Muslim Palestinian population have distance from landing their troops as they did in Libya and Iraq. To great embarrassment, Palestinians under the Political Authority of Hamas are still the authority in Gaza… this time with the support from general masses all over the world.

United Nations and Human Rights organizations have refused to listen to the dictates from Washington and are not ready to listen Western name for Hamas including “terrorists”. Members of NATO and European Union are divided; at least they are snubbing Tel Aviv off camera and behind the close door. Pentagon and Oval seem confused but under compulsion are extending moral support to Israeli, instigating Israeli Defence Forces to move into Gaza. Will the heavily armed IDF and agents will be able to resist Palestinians civilians by beating them with sticks and stones, in case they enter Gaza to establish their might? They have planned to broadcast live videos of Israeli military personnel beaten by women and children with bare their hands. Youth would use stones and sticks. 

If we recall, on 10 October 2023, Israeli Brigadier General Dan Goldfuss of Israeli 98 Paratroopers Division said “the Israeli military is now launching an offensive and moving inside Gaza to change the authority within Gaza to prevent such a thing ever happening again.” Now on 30 October, the commanders of the same Division are claiming, “This is a very difficult military campaign.” Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht confirmed that military has not moved in. However, isolated reports suggested some landing in the Southern Gaza including dead drops of air maintenance loads. Israeli troops fired numerous small and medium artillery shell and anti-tank. It was reported that squadrons of Merkava tanks were queued at Gaza border but no orders to move. Israelis and the Americans are using best use of drones for targeted attacks inside Gaza.

Abraham Accords is blessing in disguise but possible normalization of relations with Israel is being linked acceptance of Muslim Palestinian statehood over the sacred land. If we recall, on 14 October, Israeli Cabinet Minister Gideon Saar, who is part of the “war cabinet,” stated that the “Gaza Strip must be smaller at the end of the war” and “we must make the end of our campaign clear to everyone around us. Danny Ayalon, Israeli former Ambassador of Israel to the United States in a statement said in an interview “All the Palestinians of Gaza should moved in Egypt’s Sinai Desert”. He added, we along with international organizations have planned “Humanitarian Aid Zone” at Sinai Desert. However, A United Nations spokesperson said that the Israeli Defence Forces notified the UN that and international humanitarian groups are persuading the Palestinian civilian population of Northern Gaza to move to South of Gaza. In a statement Palestinian leadership and general masses have refused to move to any other direction. They made their voices clear, “Israeli barbarism and genocide cannot demoralize us. Some Palestinians agree to two-state solution but there are many leaders who would resist statehood of any non-Muslim in Palestinian territories, however, they can coexist with equal rights”. One wonders Israel is standing alone in isolation as within the Western partners there are critics of Israel, highlighting genocide of Palestinians… this gulf is, in fact, widening.

In a recent development, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan wearing a traditional Palestinian scarf over his shoulders gave a call for a peace dialogue to the world leaders; "Listen to our call for dialogue... No one loses from a just peace." He was addressing a mammoth Turkish and Palestinian assembly in Istanbul on Saturday, 28 October 2023. Earlier, during the visit of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to Saudi Arabia and his meeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman it was decided not to allow the forced displacement of Palestinians to bring new disasters. During the visit of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to Saudi Arabia on 19 October and a meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince stress on peace efforts and humanitarian relief was discussed.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has sent her Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman to Washington for a Monday meetings with senior Biden administration. This time the Arab states would respond unprecedentedly over any misadventure like Israeli or allies’ invasion of Gaza. Earlier, United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israeli violence against civilians in the Israel-Hamas war and humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. As per some of the Palestinian leaders in Gaza and Syria, "we have rejected Qatar-mediated negotiations between Israel and Hamas, “We cannot allow anyone having a past record of traitors and those expelled Palestinians operating from Qatar as our representatives on the negotiation table.”

The Israeli self-proclaimed Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has announced that it is withdrawing its diplomatic staff from Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized Israeli military operation against Hamas in Gaza. It is strange that by 19 October 2023, all Israeli diplomats had already left the country so which diplomats Israelis were announcing to call back? As per some isolated reports, Israeli intelligence, without naming Turkey, has forecasted that Israel's military assets in Iranian – Azerbaijan border at Araks that aimed to arm the Iranian or Armenians to get back the enclave’s control back to Armenian military and her arsenal in Iraq to engage new war theaters in Syria, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Ukraine.

No doubt, despite the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani appealing statement questioning the security of the region and the world giving Israel “an unconditional green light and free license to kill” and “ignoring the reality of occupation, siege and settlement,” peace efforts under the Qatari leadership is likely to be controversial. Major elements in the Palestinian leadership are skeptical about Qatar’s role as a mediator. It is high time to allow peace dialogue between Hamas and Israel, with Turkey and Saudi Arabia as chief mediators and negotiators. There is no doubt, that we witnessed worse genocide of orthodox Muslims of Palestine, especially Hamas as well as war crimes by the Israeli intelligence and defense forces but let us start a dialogue to win the peace.

In a tragic 26 October incident, 22 Americans were killed and more than 62 people injured when, as claimed by US military representatives, Sergeant Robert C. Card of American Army carried out an act of terrorism at a liquor bar in a small town in Lewiston in the northern state of Maine. As per a recent report, at US Army Reserve training facility in Maine rigorous arms training was being given to hundreds of immigrants, which turned into a site of mourning. A US Army Class 1st Instructor confidently opened fire at two locations killing unarmed members of the pub. Reports confirm that Robert Card was arrested and is under investigation but it is feared that he may be killed in a manhunt being carried out, not allowing the truth to come to the surface.

In the law of terrorism, it is accepted that cases of indiscriminate firing anywhere in the world that kills masses at random account “Terrorist Activity” but maybe we have to check his or her religious affiliation to brand anyone as a terrorist. If he were not a Muslim, it would fall in the category of “Mass Shooting” and a subcategory of “Lone Wolf” especially, if his friends and acquaintances were not Muslims. 
No doubt, the Americans are a great nation; they honour ethics and democratic norms, and they are polite and humble and Almighty God fearing. Although double standards are followed in many countries the Western countries have a unique license to kill anyone anywhere while they themselves hold diplomatic immunity, despite not being diplomats or servicemen. In 1976, in a series of decisions called the Gregg cases, the Court confirmed that capital punishment was legal in the United States, but under limited circumstances, however, it rejected automatic sentencing to death. Now the recent act of terrorism happening at US Army training facility is a test case for the American justice system. US Army authorities have even withheld the names of those killed and injured, as they are not permitted to speak.
If we recall, in 2009, US Army Major psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan was sentenced to death for killing 13 people and wounding 32 others at a military installation at Fort Hood, Texas and his case still stands before the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. Hasan admitted to the shootings as a reaction to American terrorism in the name of with global war against all Muslims. He was horrified by the mass killing of Muslim civilians of other countries in military and intelligence operations. American authorities issued a verdict that Major Hasan communicated with American Islamic scholar and lecturer Anwar Nasser Al Awlaki, who after remaining under FBI’s counterterrorism investigation was killed in US airstrike in 2011. A unique way of killing! How individuals and groups are placed on CIA and military “Kill Lists” and silently eliminated after branding them as terrorists, extremists, and under the preview of hate speech.

Sargent Robert Card got listed in December 2002, soon after 11 September attacks on US’ Pentagon and World Trade Center. Now 40 years old and member of the US Army Reserve was involved in shooting at a bar. As per the statements to his acquaintances, Robert Card who also served at 439th Military Division in Afghanistan said, “The Israeli massacre of the Hamas and Palestinian Muslims reminded about how as American military personnel, the anti-Afghan contractors and his forces did the same with Taliban and Muslim Afghans… we shoot them everywhere, raped their women, brought back their orphans and celebrated. It is high time that the Americans authorities probe the incident honestly and redress the grievances of American soldiers as well as contribute for peace in the world.
