Can relate so well 😆😆

Came across an interesting passage about Guam shortly after Japanese forces occupied it in 1941. What it highlights is an important element that must be accounted for when understanding why relationship building is so important when it comes to our partners and allies. The people of Guam had such a powerful relationship with the US, that many of the them chose to risk their lives to keep a symbol of American presence alive! That symbol was a US Sailor. This is not something that can truly be measured and quantifiable. It's a dynamic that takes time and is driven by how interactions occur on the ground. If we think of it in that context, than the power of a simple training exercise and persistent engages create a powerful bond that will only show during an extreme event! #history #academicresearch

Leadership

A purview of dictatorial eras in Pakistan 1. Ayub Khan Era (1958-1969): Ayub Khan's period as president is often seen as a time of significant economic development and modernization. However, there was a deterioration in societal and cultural values during his time. Despite this, many positive traditions persisted from the early years of Pakistan's independence up until the mid-1960s. 2. Post-1965 Indo-Pak War: The war in 1965 between India and Pakistan was a significant event that had various consequences for both countries. The aftermath of the war led to a decline in positive traditions, attributing this to the "conspiratorial politics" of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. 3. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (1971-1977): Bhutto played a crucial role in Pakistan's politics, especially after the secession of East Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. His tenure is often associated with socialist policies and significant political changes. However, his approach to politics contributed to the stalling of positive societal developments as he had fudelistic and dictatorial mindset. 4. Zia ul Haq (1978-1988): General Zia ul Haq's regime is noted for its emphasis on Islamization and military rule. His policies further accelerated the decline initiated by Bhutto's political strategies. 5. Pervez Musharraf (1999-2008): Musharraf's time as leader included efforts to modernize Pakistan and combat extremism, but his tenure was also marked by controversy and political upheaval. His leadership continued the trend of accelerating societal and cultural decline. In my perspective the political leadership and major events in Pakistan's history have had a substantial impact on the country's social and cultural fabric. This is a complex topic with many nuances, and different people may have varying interpretations based on their experiences and viewpoints. However, the strategic tactics applied by colonial powers on third world countries, cannot be ruled out to keep them including Pakistan at a status quo position. At least Daniel S. Markey confirms in his book "No Exit from Pakistan" , as enforcement of such tactics on Pakistan for last 70 years plus.

Israel is committing genocide with the weapons WE keep giving them & has now killed OVER 25,000 WOMEN & CHILDREN in 5 months (~70% of dead), & MORE EVERY DAY. That is according to our own U.S. military intelligence: https://lnkd.in/gaMEPKSn #Israel wouldn’t be about to continue this genocide without the weapons, ammo, & U.N. veto protection WE keep providing. PLEASE WRITE & CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES & THE WHITE HOUSE to demand they stop helping Israel kill & starve children, commit war crimes, & maintain its brutal & racist apartheid, with our tax dollars. Can you imagine how big a pile of 25,000 dead women & children would be? Please listen to these Jewish & Israeli professors explain why this is “textbook genocide”: 1) Prof. Raz Sega, director of Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Stockton University, & is also Israeli: https://lnkd.in/gSZVTaDY And his explaining the recent ruling in ICJ genocide case against Israel: https://lnkd.in/gYpkU3ah 2) Prof. Barry Trachtenberg, Holocaust & Genocide historian & head of Jewish Studies at Wake Forest University: https://lnkd.in/g5hEgT8r 3) Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia University Professor, Special Advisor to the U.N. & renowned public policy analyst: https://lnkd.in/gNHwwyhJ In addition to killing over 13,000 children so far, Israel has also orphaned over 30,000 children & has demolished the homes of nearly 1 million children, making them homeless during winter (many of whom are disabled, sick, & wounded). And Israel is still blocking aid to these children, KILLING THEM WITH STARVATION, DEHYDRATION, & DISEASE, in addition to U.S. supplied bombs (The Guardian: https://lnkd.in/gZ7hJRtw) I also cry for the 38 Israeli children killed on Oct 7th, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day. The proof is the nearly 2300 Palestinian children Israeli soldiers & settlers killed between 2000 & Oct 2023, including 43 children during the 9 months just before Oct 7th (all names & details on BTselem.org). Israel has also imposed a brutal 57 year occupation/apartheid on Palestinians, as well as a brutal blockade of Gaza since 2005. Both are illegal under international law, immoral, & ongoing acts of war. What would you do if someone stole your house & livelihood, killed some of your family, & left the rest of you with nothing, to live in the squalor of a refugee camp? That is what Israel did to over 750,000 Palestinians in 1948, over 300,000 in 1967, over 250,000 since 1967, & MORE EVERY YEAR – simply because they are not Jewish. Most of the families in Gaza owned homes & farms where Israeli cities & towns now stand. Properties that had often been in their families for generations, which Israel literally stole from them. Most even still have their front door keys.

We need to listen to each other, in order to do so we need free press, free speech and free social media. Humanity needs fresh ideas and a new type of politics, representing mankind as a whole instead of fragmented political interests! We have to grow together in order to urgently address the issues that impact all of us like conflict, climate change, inequality and forced migration together. This we can only do without any dominance, as equals. Collectively in Solidarity. www.convergence.ngo & www.pax.ngo
