Almost on the brink of being wiped out, why doesn't the world help? Why don't major powers provide military aid to Palestine?

In the Middle East, once known as the "Holy Land," the entanglement between Israel and Palestine seems like an endless tragedy. Whenever conflicts escalate, with gunfire filling the skies, innocent civilians weep, yet the world powers appear to have chosen silence. This makes one wonder: with the situation so dire, why doesn't the world help? Why don't major countries militarily support Palestine?

To answer this question, we must go back to the historical roots. The Yalta system after World War II was like a spoils conference among the great powers, dividing their spheres of influence. The Middle East, with its abundant energy resources, naturally became a chessboard for the great powers' games. Israel and Palestine just happened to be at the center of this chessboard, becoming the victims of great power politics.

The United States, as Israel's staunch ally, has always supported it behind the scenes. Military aid and diplomatic support have been unconditionally tilted towards Israel. What about Palestine? Its internal divisions and political instability have always prevented it from gaining the full support of the great powers. On the international stage, although some countries cheer for it, those truly willing to lend a helping hand are very few.

Let's take a look at Russia, a country with its own calculations in the Middle East. It supports the Syrian government and has militarily intervened in the Syrian civil war, clearly aiming to expand its influence in the Middle East. However, on the Palestinian issue, Russia has been relatively restrained. The reasons for this include considerations for international image and an understanding of the complexity of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

Experts also have different opinions on this. Some say that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is actually a manifestation of geopolitical and strategic interests, and that the great powers' involvement is all self-interested; others say that the political division of Palestine is an important reason why it has not received the support of the great powers. In short, this matter is not so simple.

Looking back, what do we, the onlookers, think? On social media, I have seen many netizens who are calling for justice for Palestine. Some say, "It's really hard to watch the people of Palestine suffer." Others say, "The great powers should take some practical actions, just talking is not enough." It seems that everyone is still very concerned about this issue.

So, the question is: what strategy should the international community adopt in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Should it be more actively militarily involved? Or should it solve the problem through diplomatic means? This question is likely to trigger a big discussion.

In my opinion, the key to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict still depends on peaceful negotiations and international aid. Military intervention is not impossible, but it must be very cautious, after all, this is a matter that affects the whole body when one hair is moved. Moreover, we cannot just rely on the great powers to solve these problems, the international community should all lend a hand.

Speaking of this, I think of a great man in history - Einstein. He once said, "Peace is not achieved by force, but by understanding and compromise." This is very appropriate for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides need to put down their prejudices, sit down and talk, and find a win-win way.

Of course, this road is definitely not easy to go. But no matter how difficult the road is, someone has to go! As onlookers, we also need to play a role. Understand more about the historical background and cultural background of this issue, pay more attention to the views and positions of all parties. In this way, we can better understand the complexity of this issue and contribute our own strength to peace.

Finally, I want to say: no matter how difficult the road is in the future, peace is always the most beautiful yearning of human society. Let us look forward to that day together! When the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no longer the headline news, when that "Holy Land" is revitalized.

Well, that's all for today's sharing! If you have any opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or want to know more information, please leave a message to discuss in the comments area! See you next time~

    Hamas is already receiving military aid via the porous Egyptian boarder and support from Iran and her proxies like Hezbollah and the houthis among others. Are you are suggesting the "major powers" start pouring in more military resources to Hamas and other Palestinian factions like PLO. It would be a blood bath.
