Popular uprisings in Middle East and North Africa:
Indictment on West and its media
Latheef Farook
The unprecedented, peaceful and historic popular uprisings raging in
the Middle East and North Africa remain clear indictment on the United
States led Europe and their media known for spreading lies. It was with
the support and blessings of the West and its media that tyranny which
caused untold to misery to millions in the region flourished for
decades.

These Governments, especially United States, Britain and France who
are shouting from rooftop about democracy, freedom, human rights and
other such cherished human values, helped these tyrants deprive their
people, their very basic human rights. These three countries trained and
armed these tyrants’ dreaded armies and help them commit atrocities on
their people. It is common knowledge that America’s FBI trained
torturers in Egypt and other countries in the region.
Islamic scholars
These tyrants obediently arrested Islamic scholars, detained them
without inquiry for years, tortured and even killed them to please their
masters in Washington, London and Paris. In doing so they helped the
Jewish sponsored Western agenda against Islam and Muslims under the
guise of so called ‘war on terror’.
These Western Governments were very well aware how these tyrants
plundered their countries’ wealth while the people suffered in abject
poverty. These tyrants did not hide their robbed wealth in the Arabian
Desert or African jungle.
Instead they invested in the US, UK, France and in Switzerland which
remains the accepted safe haven for all tyrants turned robbers. The West
allowed them to do so knowing very well that this ill-gotten wealth
belongs to people.
Despite their crime records, human rights violation and plundering
their nations the West rolled red carpets to receive these tyrants with
all honour usually meant for decent and dignified leaders. This speaks
volume for the double standards and hypocrisy of political leaders in
the west. Who cares?
Iraqi troops
The question is why these Western political leaders indulge in such
naked hypocrisy. The reason being that these tyrants remain obedient to
their Western masters and shamelessly collaborate with them to implement
their evil designs even on their own people. For example their
participation in the US led war to evict Iraqi troops from Kuwait. All
the dictators who collaborated were heavily bribed, perhaps blood money,
ended up mainly in Western banks.
Arab countries
Later they even provided military facilities for US and its partners
to invade Iraq during which they killed almost 1.4 million people,
arrested and tortured hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, raped
and tortured Iraqi women, eliminated professionals and intellectuals,
destroyed the infrastructure and basic facilities and virtually turned
Iraq, once an almost developed country where people enjoyed a very high
standard of living, into a waste land.
Most of the American and NATO military aircraft which bombed and
killed the Iraqis and destroyed Iraq took off from the oil rich Gulf
countries - the very countries morally obliged to protect the Iraqis.
Helpless people all over the region watched these shameful crimes of
shameless tyrants with bleeding hearts. They were deeply frustrated as
they could not do anything, not even speak out or come out on to the
streets on peaceful demonstration to vent their anger for fear of being
arrested and tortured by ruthless tyrants.
Equally shameful has been the role of the media in the West,
predominantly owned by Jews and as integral part of the Western war
machines, obediently serving the Zionist agenda implemented by the
Western democracies. Some wealthy Arab countries heavily bribed the
Western media to turn a blind to their crimes, injustice, human rights
violations and people’s sufferings. Thus their indifference!
It was under these oppressive circumstances peoples’ uprising broke
out in Tunisia which is now sweeping the Middle East and North Africa
changing the political scene in the region in lightening speed with
global implications. They assert their rights with dignity in some of
the most peaceful demonstrations ever known human history when political
changes always accompanied violence. Instead of attacking tyrants and
their mercenaries demonstrators prayed in the streets invoking god’s
bleedings.
European allies
There was no hatred towards any one including US, France, Britain and
Israel responsible for their sufferings.
There were no anti American, anti British or anti France slogans.
There wasn’t even a slogan against Israel - the cause of all unrest,
violence, bloodshed and killings in the region since early 1930s.
They only wanted to kick out their tyrants, throw them into dustbin
of history and restore their rights and dignity. One young Egyptian
demonstrator said, “I am a proud inheritor to a 7,000 year old
civilization. I do not want America, with less than 500-year-old history
and that too nothing but history of wars and Israel with not even
70-year of history in the land stolen from Palestinians, to decide my
destiny.”
It is no easy task. Tyrants started falling. However tyranny remains
as the US and Mossad trained and equipped Armed Forces remain in place.
Now that the people’s power has come to stay the US and its European
allies have overnight switched to endorsing the uprisings across the
region demanding democracy to replace its clients of tyrants. But some
Middle East democracies find more favour than others, as Palestinians
found out six years ago.
Summing up the situation columnist Habib Siddiqui stated that “Would
America come to the aid of these suffering and persecuted majority who
are calling for regime change? No....It is actually better that way. Let
the people rely on their innate moral strength for simply being on the
right side of history and trust in God to better their conditions.” |
