    October War of 2023 Continues . Israel got a state in 1948 after thousands of years in exile, but there is no established peace even in 2024.

    On October 7 Israel came under a surprise attack from Hamas & Co. Ever since there is a new long war that continues till this date. When would the Palestinians get a state and when shall the Israelis get peace? Meanwhile a new phase has begun in the ongoing yearlong War. The northern borders of Israel and the regions of southern Lebanon seem to be on the way to face for more this. Today, minutes (guess it was about 90 to 100 minutes) after Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu(Anglicized version: Benjamin Netanyahu) gave a speech at the UN General Assembly, Israeli planes struck what is considered to be Hezbollah's Head Quarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The neighborhood of Dahiya, where the building is located, is considered a Hezbollah stronghold in the capital. Once upon a time, Beirut was considered as the Paris of the Middle East. At UN, PM Netanyahu took a strong stance. “I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us we will strike you. There is no place in Iran that long arm of Israel cannot reach, and that is true of the entire Middle East.” He referred to Hezbollah as “a terror army perched on our northern border.” Israel has come a long way since its independence 77 years ago, but battles and wars in the long ongoing Middle-East conflict continues. But a lot has changed. Today, Israel faces a different nature of adversaries. The Palestinians meanwhile, seek a nation. Hezbollah remains the single greatest strong foe on Israel's borders. But who is behind it all, today? Many in Israel would say Iran. But its more complicated. After today's attack on Hezbollah Headquarters in Dahiya, Beirut, its still not clear whether the Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah is dead or alive. Let's cover a few more pages from history and the present. --------------------------------------------------- I look forward to any suggestions/criticism/backlash/hate mail at the email address: timesofhistories@gmail.com .

    Israel and Palestine: Gaza, Iran, Arab states and why any Resolution for Peace is far away

    As of posting this episode, Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader has been assassinated in Tehran, Iran on July 31, 2024. So have some top Hezbollah commanders in Lebanon and some Hamas commanders in Gaza. Last night on August 12, 2024 Israel Defense Forces(The Tzahal) went on Peak Alertness with the expectation of an Iranian attack as Iran readied its missiles and drones. As of August 13, this morning 7:47 AM in Jerusalem, this attack has not taken place. Putting into present context of our region of the subcontinent: What have been some recent major political developments in the Indian Subcontinent/South Asia: 1. Fall of Ashraf Ghani led Afghan government and the return of Taliban 2. Muizzu taking power in Maldives 3. Imran Khan being removed from power in Pakistan while Sharifs and Bhuttos(more like Zardaris) agreeing to share power under the overarching system of the military directorship(if not outright dictatorship, the military of Pak has learnt that its better to stay behind curtains and direct the throne). Let's not forget that it was Pak Military that had brought Imran Khan to power in the first place. The Pak Fauj giveth and the Pak Fauj taketh away 4. Sheikh Hasina leaving power amidst agitations/mob violence and Bangladesh Nationalist Party eyeing a return, with Bangladesh military support. The Bangladesh Military has definitely gained more political power than it was able to exercise in the last 14 years. Stability of a state, its politics and the grasp on power of its rulers is NEVER GUARANTEED. There is constant struggle with internal elements and national threats. All we can say is stability can be be very uncertain. Israel's sole goal in some ways has been to ensure a security architecture where its statehood does not come under serious threat. October 7 did not exactly threaten the statehood of Israel but it showed how easy it was to destroy the stability and order that Israel had created. After 1973 this was the single greatest event where Israel came under a surprise attack and over a 1400 Israelis died in 2 days. It was a shock to the body-mass of the state and society. And led to the current conflict in Gaza where Israel is trying to bring back the Israelis taken hostage and destroy Hamas as a military force. Many however disagree with extent of correctness of the earlier statement as Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, is in a tough spot and the events of October 7 showed that the security that he guaranteed had failed and the corruption charges are in cold freezer as long as he remains prime minister. Many of the hostage's families have also sought a change in the approach of the Israeli government What are the key issues in the Israel-Palestine Conflict that render any significant peace move impossible without compromises?

    Palestine Israel Conflict. October 7 Attack on Israel & Gaza Conflict-destruction. Another battle in the long going Israel-Palestine conflict? [QnA]

    Urge you to watch this: A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face | Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0juLRi90kRg After the October 7 attacks by Hamas and other groups on Israeli civilians, Israel has embarked on a series of offences that have lasted over 7 months by now. In the October 7 attacks many Israeli lives were lost. In the military actions that have followed many Gazan lives have been lost, over several times. In response International Criminal Court has sought warrants against Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim al-Masri(Deif), Ismail Haniyeh. You can read about it here: https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-khan-kc-applications-arrest-warrants-situation-state Recently AP published a piece on debunking of some of the claims of Hamas acts: https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-sexual-violence-zaka-ca7905bf9520b1e646f86d72cdf03244 Further, this horrifying video shows the kidnapping of female Israeli soldiers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZRlrWHHRoU&rco=1 There are other points provided by The Hill in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z5GBz4yt2k Thus, we must understand that both sides are waging a war of narrative as well. UN found something as shown here in this video from the highly regarded Guardian News titled "UN finds ‘convincing information’ that Hamas raped and tortured Israeli hostages", almost 2 months before the above two videos. You can watch the UN statement from Guardian here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbs0vQDJ_aQ In this long ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this seems like the latest ongoing episode. But there is more to it. NOTE: This is an informal conversation being offered to listeners with some perspectives in mind. Some of the things being said might not be fully correct but there is context to it that might not have been possible to cover/include/mention in this podcast episode. People have spent their lifetimes to understand the issue at hand and it is a contentious issue involving emotions from both sides. My attempt is to merely scratch the surface and I am sure to have failed at that. But if it helps you in getting some new views, information and ideas, I would have succeeded by some measure. I look forward to any criticism or backlash at the email address: timesofhistories@gmail.com . Feel free to write. Keeping it under 250 words would be appreciated, indeed.

    2.25 Ancient India Part XXV: Indo Greeks(Bactrians), Indo-Scythians(Shakas), Indo-Parthians, Kushanas-Kanishka the Great

    Indo Greeks(Bactrians), Indo-Scythians(Shakas), Indo-Parthians, Kushanas all came and ruled parts of northern India. Kanishka the Great was the most famous among all these rulers. They accepted Indian cultures, beliefs and added it to their own. Many of their rulers are today known for their religious tolerance. In this episode we shall cover the details of the Central Asian rulers(their origins or those of the founders of their dynasty lay in Central Asia) and dynasties that ruled over parts of India in their periods of rule that roughly lay between 300 BC and 300 AD. They mainly ruled over the northern parts of Indian subcontinent and parts of central Asia. We also mention the first two Scythian rulers in India, Maues(the name means "Tiger" in the Scythian/Saka language) and Azes(the name means "Leader" in the Scythian/Saka language). Azes won over Hippostratos, cementing Scythian rule in western India In the present of Israel-Palestine: ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict(mainly Israeli response and military acts in Gaza) after October 7, 2023 attacks many have different persepectives. This April 2024 a TED talk took place in Vancouver, Canada with Maoz(Maoz Inon) and Aziz(Aziz Abu Sarah), two peacemakers from Israel and Palestine respectively. I mentioned this as their names are similar to those of the Scythian rulers mentioned earlier. The name Maoz means "strength" in Hebrew and Aziz means "respected" in Arabic. You can watch them talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0juLRi90kRg We would appreciate you, our listeners, rating us on the platform you are listening this podcast on. Episode 24 would be added later and it shall cover the Mauryan rulers who came after Ashoka. Corrigendum: Saka Era started with Kanishka's rule according to some sources, but we now know it started several decades before Kanishka. In this episode I claimed that it started with the rule of the Scythians. But to my best understanding. The Saka Era calendar probably started when some Indian ruler defeated a Scythian ruler.
