The Living Perfect Master, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has called for an end to the Israel and Palestinian war, saying that there is need for world leaders to find solution to the crises as conflicts do not do mankind any good.
The Living Perfect Master in a statement made available to Newsmen, United Nations Secretary General and member countries of the international body on Sunday in Lagos, stressed that the recurrent conflicts between Israel and Palestine had consumed too many lives.
According to Satguru Maharaj Ji, “It is time to give the bloody and incessant confrontations a permanent solution. “In 1948, Britain’s Lord Balfour finalised Britain’s arrangement to settle Israelis on a stretch of land that had been native home to the Palestinian people for a very longtime.
“The initial proposal was to carve out a space for the Israelis in Africa’s Great Lakes Region, namely in Uganda or Tanzania. “Today, we have a most disheartening and undeniably genocidal confrontation between the Israelis and the people of Palestine being represented by obdurate Hamas.”
Maharaj Ji, maintained that the western leaders had so far failed to use their political advantage to resolve the crisis in the troubled region, adding that the idea of playing skewed politics to the detriment of peace was totally unacceptable.
He stressed that “Israel has continuously seized tracts of land from the Palestinians, while subjecting them to apartheid treatment.
“The Palestinians are no saints to the sustained and seemingly unsolvable mayhem in the part of the Middle-East. “Hamas’ latest attack on Israel is as horrific as Israel’s retaliation. We need peace in the Middle-East! The world needs the peoples of Israel and Palestine to bury their weapons and to embrace themselves on the basis of an equitable United Nations (UN) arrangement that will not be subject or open to meddling by any Western or Eastern hemispheric state actors.
“I call on the United Nations to establish a buffer-territory between Israel and Palestine. I suggest that buffer-zone should be named United Nations City.
“I say to the people of Palestine that the State of Israel has come to stay in its present location. I also assert that Israel’s right to statehood should and, indeed, must be extended to the people of Palestine.
I can assure all that once there are no bullets flying from Gaza, Israel, will not react.”
He noted that previous agreements such as The Camp David Agreement and The Oslo Accord did not deny the people of Palestine the right to statehood.
According to him, the problem in relation to implementing those agreements had been Israel’s security fears and the western leaders’ skewed meddling in Israel’s favour.
“There is no gainsaying that western powers’ pro-Israel interventionism is quietly and powerfully underpinned by racial sentiments. “Known as Ashkenazis, the people now referred to as Israelis are Europeans who are as human as the Palestinians are.
“Where there is love, there is nothing that cannot be shared. It is possible to get the peoples of Israel and Palestine to live together in peace and in shared prosperity.
“What is needed is the political will by dominant state actors such as America, Britain, Russia and Saudi Arabia to bring both parties not just to accept each other as having the right to sovereignty, to peace, to prosperity and to happiness, but to allow each other the liberty to live accordingly.” He stated.
