Presently large parts of the Middle East are on boil. Blood bath has become order of day. Israeli forces are not only killing large number of innocent people but also not sparing women and children. In fact children are their prime target as their thinking is that they are future youths who will stand up and oppose Israeli occupation of Arab Lands. In fact its not a war but a genocide of Palestinians is going on and the world community is watching silently. More than 2000 Palestinians have been killed till now which include large number of children as young as 5 years. On the other hand in Iraq to a self appointed Khalifa Abu Bakar Baghdadi has defamed the Islam by his uncalled for killings on sectarian grounds. It is very unfortunate that killings are going on in the name of religion whereas no religion in the world has ever sanctioned killings of innocent people leave alone Islam which is a very peaceful religion. But just one person proclaimed himself Khalifa and began killings.

Due to such uncalled for actions the super powers particularly America finds excuses to interfere in Middle East. And that has happened Americans have began bombing areas of Iraq under control of Baghdadi. In fact Iraq is suffering since America dethroned Saddam Hussain, only manly leader in Middle East on the pretext that Iraq has chemical weapons which was proved false afterwards. America has always taken military actions against many countries on one or the other excuses though it had badly tasted defeat by the hands of brave Vietnamese. It is surprising that in the case of Israel the America always keep a deadly silence though its an open secret that Israel possess nuclear powers and has chemical weapons. It is also strange that Iraq had not honoured only two United Nations resolutions and just on that America attacked ot whereas Israel has violated 77 UN resolutions but America never discuss it and continue its support to it. Protests against Israeli genocide of Palestinians are being held worldwide and within America and Israel but American and Israeli governments are not even listening their own citizen. In face Israelis are very afraid of emerging Palestinian generations and their main aim is to finish young generation. This fact also emerges from the dat which indicate that in comparison of young people the old have been killed in less numbers.

The main reason behind America going berserk is that presently it is only super power left on global scene after collapse of Russia. The power equation in the world changed considerably. In fact existence of Russia was very necessary for world peace. On several occasions Russia stepped in and the Americans have to retreat. Just recall when late Prime Minister Shrimati Indra Gandhi did not honoured American advice to pull out from Bangladesh and America moved its Seventh Fleet in Indian ocean, the Russians immediately issued warning and according to some analysts of that time the chances of third world war brightened but smelling the determination of Shrimati Indra Gandhi and commitment of Russia to stand by India forced them to change their strategy and retreat. Unfortunately the bifurcation of Russia weakened it and now it is concentrating more on keeping its sagging economy going on.

Presently American Jews are holding world economy. They are not only controlling vast industries and banking but also weapon industry and media. Due to their hold on media and consumer products they are successful in black mailing American Presidents to support them and they will support them . No one can disturb this equation for now at least. As far as Middle Eastern countries are concerned they are puppet of Americans due to one or other reason. America is interested in the region due to vast oil and gas reserves there. Leaving aside Iran, no other Muslim country is in position to stand and call an injustice as injustice. The holding of super status and markets including financial institutions by Americans are a threat to world peace. This fact must be realised without playing any politics.

China has emerged out of blue as an economic and military power. It has veto power in Security Council and has captured vast markets. Presently the policies of Chinies government are to strengthen its economic hold on global level and desist from any armed confrontation. But it should not be forgotten that China is also a nuclear and atomic power. In fact it is as powerful on warfare as USA. It can challenge American might whenever it desire.

The time has come when Chinese government must think to establish its military superiority on global level and for that it has to challenge Americans today or tomorrow .This is the best time when China must interfere in Gaza Strip and warn Israel to stop genocide. If China takes that stand two important developments will emerge swiftly. One, the genocide will be stopped as Americans will immediately pressurised the Israelis to end it. Secondly, by this act China will be seen on global level as defender of peace and humanism which will increase its influence on world level and in turn it will provide more markets. The China will gallop if this first time risk it takes. The Gaza Strip is calling China and it should seize this opportunity to defeat America. The situation is also very ripe at the moment as American economy is shattering presently.

India should also change its foreign policies. India had not recognised Israel from very beginning but during the tenure of Narsimha Rao as Prime Minister, India recognised Israel and established its political relations. China is our neighbouring country and more useful than America. India should extend a helping hand to China and become a partner in its efforts to capture the world market. China may support India for permanent seat in Security Council. Over all China and all those who believe in just peaceful and humanistic society should ponder over the fact that there is dire need to contain American superiority otherwise we will see more bloodbath.

If China loses this moment in snatching world leader's place from Americans then it will lose on several counts and another chance may come to it very late.
