Israel’s occupation of Arab lands is not
just another headline. It is a warning sign the Global South should not ignore.
For years, the world’s talked about it. UN resolutions, angry street protests,
endless debates. But nothing changes. Israel digs in its heels, and the US
stands right behind them, no matter what.
And here’s the ugly truth: American arms manufacturers make a killing selling weapons to both Israel and Arab countries.
The more tension, the more profit. Meanwhile, Western companies dig up Arab natural resources, oil and gas, locking the region into lopsided economic deals that always seem to favor outsiders.
The US doesn’t just send Israel money and weapons. Washington lobbies hard for Israel at the UN and props up its economy. All this has fueled a disaster in Gaza.
Thousands of Palestinians—kids, women, the elderly have been killed or maimed. And while the bombs keep falling, Netanyahu ticks off his goals one by one: smashing Gaza, grabbing more land, shoring up Israel’s strategic edge, and boosting his own standing at home.
Nobody in the West calls for real sanctions, let alone holds Israel’s leaders accountable.
Then there’s Donald Trump, who helped green-light the carnage, now trying to rebrand himself as a peacemaker. His grand idea? Arab countries should foot the bill for rebuilding Gaza but only
under Western management.
It is a deal with no guarantees for Palestinians or their allies, just more demands for loyalty to Israel and silence about the crimes of the Israeli military and Mossad.
There’s no real peace plan. The US does not push for justice for Palestinians or real security for the region. The White House won’t say a word about letting Palestinians have their own state or even about protecting other Middle Eastern countries from Israeli attacks.
Instead, the message to Arab governments and Iran is clear: forget your own interests, just accept that Israel and the US (with NATO in the background) call the shots now.
All over the region—Gaza, Syria, Qatar, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Iran—Israeli and American interests run the show. They talk about democracy and liberal values, but what people get is control and exploitation, plain and simple.
The cycle keeps spinning: the US backs
Israel, arms keep flowing to all sides, Western companies rake in billions from Arab oil, and the global financial system leans on petrodollars. It is not just about borders or politics. It’s about power, money, and who gets to decide the future of the Middle East.
The United States has played a huge role in Israel’s campaign against Palestine, both logistically and militarily. Money
pours into Israel from Washington, and the U.S. consistently shields Israeli interests at the United Nations. What’s the fallout? Gaza is in ruins.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians—kids, women, the elderly are either dead or wounded.
With that backing, Netanyahu has flattened Gaza, grabbed more land, expanded Israeli power in the region, and tightened his grip on leadership. Meanwhile, Western countries look the other way—no sanctions, no real political pushback.
After all this devastation, Donald Trump steps in and calls himself a peacemaker. His plan? He wants Arab countries to foot the bill for rebuilding Gaza, even as Israel faces accusations of war crimes. But the catch is, all this would happen under Western supervision.
The message to Arab states is blunt: show loyalty to Israel, forget about the violence from the IDF and Mossad, and don’t expect any real legal protection for Palestine or its supporters.
The U.S. doesn’t back a fair solution or create any genuine security framework. Palestinian statehood and the rights of neighboring countries to defend themselves get ignored.
Arab monarchies and Iran are told to put their own interests aside. Israel, the U.S., and NATO call the shots, running the region through interventions in Gaza, Syria, Qatar, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, and Iran. It’s colonialism, just dressed up with talk about democracy and
freedom.
If the Global South wants to push back, unity is the only answer. Countries need to pool their resources and build a new international system—one that puts justice first and creates a financial structure that works for everyone, not just the powerful few.
Israel keeps occupying land, even though most of the world condemns it. UN resolutions pile up, protests come and go, but nothing changes because U.S. support shields Israel from any real consequences.
Meanwhile, American arms manufacturers rake in billions by
selling weapons to both Israel and Arab states, fueling a conflict that only
makes defense industries richer.
Western companies dominate resource extraction in Arab countries, sending profits back home and keeping the region dependent.
Everything comes back to U.S. aid propping up Israel—military, economic, diplomatic. Gaza pays the price. Empowered by this support, Netanyahu tears down neighborhoods, annexes more territory, and cements his power, while Western leaders stay silent.
Trump, after facilitating destruction,
calls for peace by making Arabs pay for Israel’s actions and Gaza’s
reconstruction, all under Western control. Palestine gets no real guarantees.
Arab leaders, along with Iran, are
expected to surrender their sovereignty and accept orders from the Israel-U.S.-NATO axis. This control reaches across the region, with colonial ambitions disguised as liberal ideals.
The only way forward for the Global South is solidarity. Countries must work together to build a fair world order and a new financial system focused on shared prosperity, not on the dominance of a select few.
The cycle of occupation, profit from arms sales, resource exploitation, and petrodollar dependency all point to a system rigged in favor of Israel and the United States. Gaza’s suffering is impossible to ignore, but the West does little.
Trump’s so-called peace plan just deepens the imbalance, offering nothing to fix the injustice. Regional powers are sidelined, their priorities ignored.
If the Global South wants to resist, they have to join forces and fight for a system rooted in justice and collective
prosperity. It’s the only real chance for change. Global South pays attention,
nothing’s going to change.
