On Human Rights Day. A Criticial Relection by Dr. Abdullah Fazi

13/10/2023

In the latest episode of Commentary, we delve into the intensifying conflict in Gaza and the broader Middle East. With live news updates streaming from the heart of Gaza, we discuss the alarming developments as the Israeli army issues a stark warning to Palestinian civilians, urging them to evacuate the northern region of the besieged Gaza Strip in anticipation of an imminent ground offensive.

Tensions between Israel and Hamas continue to escalate, and the United States has thrown its full support behind Israel, dispatching troops and ammunition to the region. Meanwhile, major players like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates maintain a watchful eye on the unfolding crisis, carefully assessing their positions.

In contrast, Hizbullah in Lebanon and Iran have taken a clear stance, voicing their support for the Palestinian people and Hamas. The situation is reaching a critical point, raising the specter of a full-scale war in Gaza, which could result in the loss of thousands of lives and the potential for widespread war crimes and massacres in the region.

Amidst this backdrop of turmoil and uncertainty, the United Nations (UN) has called upon Israel to de-escalate the situation and prevent further violence. The Opinio, offers a comprehensive and unbiased perspective on these unfolding events, shedding light on the complex dynamics and geopolitical implications at play.

In a significant escalation, Palestinian fighters were reported inside Israel this morning. Concurrently, Hamas declared a military operation against the Zionist regime.

Palestinian fighters have launched the largest attack on Israel in years, firing over 2,200 rockets into Israeli territory.

Palestinian media sources have also reported the capture of Israeli soldiers, further intensifying the ongoing crisis.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an urgent meeting with his top security officials in response to the escalating situation.

Palestinian fighters have employed unconventional tactics, including infiltrating Israel using trucks and paragliders, alongside the rocket attacks, leaving Israelis in a state of shock.

Israel's military has declared a "state of war alert" and initiated airstrikes over civilian populations earlier today.

Is Govt School Better Than Private School | سرکاری سکول یا پرائیویٹ سکول؟ | The Opinio
Private schools and government schools, also known as public schools, each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some pros and cons of each:

Private School:

Pros:

Academic Excellence: Private schools often have smaller class sizes, which allows for more individualized attention and focused instruction. They may also have more rigorous academic standards and specialized programs, resulting in higher academic achievement.
Resources and Facilities: Private schools generally have better resources and facilities compared to government schools. They may offer state-of-the-art technology, well-equipped science labs, libraries, sports facilities, and extracurricular activities.
Specialized Education: Private schools often provide specialized education options such as Montessori, arts-focused, or language immersion programs, allowing parents to choose an educational approach that aligns with their child's needs and interests.
Strong Parental Involvement: Private schools often encourage active parental involvement in the education process, fostering a strong partnership between parents and teachers.
Cons:

Cost: Private schools typically require tuition fees, making them more expensive than government schools. This can limit access to families with lower incomes, creating a socioeconomic divide in education.
Limited Diversity: Private schools may lack the diversity found in government schools due to their selective admissions policies or higher costs, resulting in a less diverse student body.
Limited Special Education Services: Private schools may not have the same level of resources and support for students with special needs or learning disabilities compared to government schools.
Government School (Public School):

Pros:

Accessibility: Government schools are accessible to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. They provide free education, ensuring equal opportunities for children from diverse economic backgrounds.
Diversity: Public schools often have a more diverse student population, exposing students to different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, fostering social integration and understanding.
Special Education Services: Government schools typically have a better infrastructure to provide special education services and support for students with disabilities or special needs.
Accountability and Standards: Public schools are accountable to government regulations and educational standards. They undergo regular inspections and evaluations, ensuring quality education is provided.
Cons:

Larger Class Sizes: Due to the larger student population, government schools may have larger class sizes, making it challenging for teachers to provide individual attention to each student.
Limited Resources: Public schools often face budget constraints, resulting in limited resources for facilities, equipment, and extracurricular activities.
Lack of Flexibility: Public schools may have a more standardized curriculum, leaving less room for customization or specialized programs tailored to individual student needs.
Bureaucracy: Government schools can sometimes be affected by bureaucracy and administrative processes, leading to slower decision-making and implementation of changes.
It's important to note that these pros and cons may vary depending on specific private and government schools. Additionally, the choice between private and government schools often depends on personal preferences, financial capabilities, and the specific needs of the child.

Bilawal’s India Visit Success or Failure? / بلاول انڈیا میں : کامیاب یا ناکام؟ | The Opinio
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is the first high-level Pakistani official to have visited India in almost 12 years. The ties between the two South Asian rivals have not exactly been smooth since both countries gained independence from British rule in 1947, and a 2019 terror attack on Indian troops in Kashmir further increased tensions.

India and Pakistan claim the disputed Kashmir region in its entirety but each rule only parts of it.

In 2019, New Delhi revoked the special constitutional status enjoyed by the part of Kashmirunder its control, further angering Islamabad.

Despite these thorny issues, the Pakistani foreign minister's decision to visit India to participate in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting could be seen as a positive development. At the same time, it was a missed opportunity to improve ties between the two sides.

Bhutto was certainly cautious about the implications of his trip, as his political rival Imran Khan's party had already accused him of compromising on the "Kashmir cause."

"I will be leading the Pakistan delegation at the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers. My decision to attend this meeting illustrates Pakistan's strong commitment to the charter of SCO," he said on Twitter prior to his departure to Goa, adding that his visit would only focus on the SCO. "I look forward to constructive discussions with my counterparts from friendly countries."
India is certainly not a "friendly country" for Pakistan, which is why there were no bilateral talks with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar.

The SCO was founded in 2001 to discuss security and economic matters in Central Asia. China, Islamabad's major regional ally, leads the bloc, and India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan are also part of the grouping.
"The SCO is an important regional forum, and Pakistan has been its full member since 2017. We have participated in all mandatory SCO meetings to contribute to regional peace, prosperity, and development. The foreign minister's presence in the meeting will ensure that Pakistan's interests are safeguarded," Shazia Marri, Pakistan's federal minister for poverty alleviation and social safety, told DW.

"Pakistan's participation at the SCO in Goa is not a bilateral interaction between Pakistan and India. The visit took place in a multilateral context, keeping with Pakistan's commitment to the SCO," she added.

Since New Delhi revoked Kashmir's special status, any government in Pakistan would face a backlash domestically should it choose to engage with India.

"It is important for Pakistan to maintain a safe distance from the Indian government. India was not looking to engage with Pakistan at the SCO. There is no chance of a breakthrough unless New Delhi revises its Kashmir policy," Mosharraf Zaidi, an Islamabad-based political analyst, told DW.

"This visit was not an engagement opportunity as India is continuously looking to punish and hurt Pakistan,"

Bhutto said on Friday that it was India's responsibility to build a "conducive environment for talks," adding that India's 2019 actions in Kashmir "really undermined the environment, and now the onus is on India that they create the conducive environment in which talks can be held."
But PM Modi's government is unlikely to heed to such demands. With India emerging as an economic powerhouse and Pakistan's economy on the verge of collapse, New Delhi seems fully uninterested in negotiating anything with Islamabad.
