Konflik Palestin-Israel : Pencabulan Undang-Undang Antarabangsa ( Part 2)

 Tebing Barat dan Jalur Gaza adalah merujuk kepada wilayah Palestin atau Occupied Palestine Territory (OPT). Kesatuan Eropah (EU), Makhamah Kehakiman Antarabangsa (ICJ) dan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UN) menganggap Timur Jerusalam adalah sebahagian Tebing Barat yang diduduki oleh Israel (Occupying Power). Namun Israel telah menganggap seluruh Jerusalam sebagai ibu negara dan jajahan bebas.

Undang-undang ICJ pada Julai 2004 menyatakan bahawa wilayah pendudukan Israel adalah tidak sah dan bertentangan terhadap undang-undang antarabangsa, Namun pihak Makhamah tinggi Israel telah mengarahkan untuk mengekalkan pegangan wilayah Tebing Barat dibawah belligerent occupation dan dalam kes ini sebagai disputed territories . Pengambilan Israel wilayah Timur Jerusalam, Bukit Golan telah dibidas oleh Majlis Keselamatan UN di dalam resolusi 478 dimana menyatakan tindak tersebut adalah tidak sah (null and void) dan perlu dibatalkan.

Kerajaan Israel telah terlibat selama lebih daripada 35 tahun dalam penempatan semula warga Israel ke wilayah yang didudukinya akibat perang 1967 melalui pelbagai program bagi membolehkan penubuhan penempatan Israel di Occupied Palestine Territory (OPT).  Kesahihan penempatan ini telah dicabar oleh pelbagai dan membawa kepada konflik (Palestinian Territories ,Wikipedia, 2012)

Israel berpendapat bahawa Konvensyen Geneva adalah tidak sah perkara berkaitan kepada OPT, tetapi jika penetapan itu sah sekali pun, penempatan Israel tidak melanggar Artikel 49 Konvensyen Geneva Keempat Menurut tafsiran Israel. Perkara 49 tidak melarang pemindahan sukarela penduduk dari negeri penjajah ke wilayah-wilayah yang diduduki .

Komuniti antarabangsa dan Pertubuhan Pembebasan Palestin (PLO), dan sudut yang lain, memegang bahawa penempatan Israel di OPT adalah melanggar International Humanitarian Law (IHL). Di dalam Perkara 49 tertentu, Konvensyen Keempat Geneva, ini memandangkan dasar Israel adalah cenderung mempromosikan dan memudahkan pemindahan penduduk telah memainkan peranan penting dalan penciptaan dan pengembangan penempatan Israel kawasan OPT. Di samping itu Peraturan Hague dan Konvensyen Geneva ke- 4 'melarang sebarang pemindaha penduduk kuasa penjajah (occupied power) walaupun pemindahan sukarela, yang akan mengubah komposisi demografi wilayah diduduki

Wakil tetap Malaysia di Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB), Datuk Hussein Haniff dalam laporan jawatankuasa khas menyatakan bahawa amalan pendudukan Israel menjejas hak asasi manusia rakyat Palestin di wilayah yang didudukinya Sebanyak 378 struktur pembinaan oleh rakyat Palestin telah di roboh dan sehingga kini sebanyak 222 buah rumah penduduk Palestin dimusnahkan  di Tebing Barat. Penempatan haram diteruskan dengan 500 000 rakyat Israel tinggal di 150 penempatan baru di wilayah diduduki. Di samping itu tahap keganasan yang disaksikan sepanjang konflik tidak hanya terhad kepada para tentera, malahan banyak nyawa orang awam bagi kedua-dua pihak jugan dikorbankan.  Undang-undang dan resolusi antarabangsa dilihat masih gagal menyelesaikan konflik ini. 

Konflik Israel Palestin dan Pencabulan Undang-Undang Antarabangsa (Part 1)

 Konflik yang berlaku di Palestin di antara Arab dan Israel telah berlarutan sejak sekian lama Jika dikira dari tarikh rasmi penubuhan negara Israel pada 15 Mer 1948, kita akan dapati bahawa konflik tersebut sudah berlangsung selama lebih 6 dekad. Manakala jika ditinjau dari aspek sejarah Palestin moden, ia telah jatuh ke tangan pihak British semenjak tahun 1917. Ini berlaku ketika pentadbiran kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyyah telah dikalahkan oleh tentera British di bawah pimpinan General Allenby Selepas kira-kira 3 tahun, pihak Liga Bangsa-bangsa (sebelum ditukar menjadi Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu), telah memberi mandat kepada pihak British untuk mentadbir Palestin. 

Dalam dunia kontemporari hari ini, kita melihat pada hakikat bahawa Palestin berada di bawah penguasaan Yahudi yang telah menubuhkan negara Israel di atas tanah yang dirampas dari penduduk Arab terutamanya penduduk Islam Di awal peperangan pada tahun 1967 dan pengawalan Israel di Tebing Barat dan Jalur Gaza, eleman Zionisme menular menduduki wilayah-wilayah Palestin di bawah kawalan Israel. Sejak tahun tersebut sehingga kini kerajaan Israel telah mendukung pergerakan ini dengan merampas bahagian tanah yang dimiliki oleh pihak Palestin.

Banyak resolusi yang dikeluarkan oleh PBB (United Nations) dan Majlis Keselamatan (Security Council) terhadap konflik ini, tetapi masih pihak terutamanya Israel enggan mengikut apa yang diputuskan di peringkat antarabangsa. Walaupun ada beberapa resolusi PBB itu merujuk kepada penubuhan dua negara Israel Palestin, tetapi pematuhan Israel ke atas resolusi PBB itu mesti dijadikan syarat supaya mereka benar-benar boleh menjalankan apa yang diputuskan diperingkat antarabangsa. 

Pusingan perundingan keamanan telah lama bermula di Annapolis, Amerik Syarikat sejak bulan November 2007 bertujuan untuk mencapai ketetapan mutakhir. Semua pihak bersetuju bahawa adanya enam teras atau status akhir yang merupakan persoalan yang mesti diselesaiakan iaitu Jerusalem, pelarian, petempatan, keselamata sempadan dan air (Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Governme Arrangements 3 September 13 1993,)

Islam Explained

In Islam, God is Allah, and when we say Allah, we do not believe in a God who is only a god of the Muslims, the Arabs, India and Pakistanis or the Middle Eastern. We say the word Allah referring to the Creator in different languages. Names for the same Creator in Hebrew are Elohim and Jehovah, and in Spanish, it is Dios. Thus Allah is the universal God, and there have many attributes of the Creator. He is an eternal, mighty, merciful, and loving God.  

 He wanted to guide humanity and did not come down and become a human, an idol, an animal, the sun, or the moon. HE chose Messengers and Prophets, and when He created Adam, He sent a fundamental truth to Adam that do not worship animals and Idols but only submitted to one God. The submission to one God in Arabic is called Islam. God gave the same truth to all the messengers and prophets like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them). A passage in the Quran in chapter 16, verse 36, that God appointed Messengers and Prophets to all the nations, and then God sent them one fundamental truth inviting people to worship one God and not the creation but the Creator. So every Prophet, including Jesus, came with the message of Islam.

  Jesus and Moses were Muslims, not Christians or Jews. Allah says in the Quran chapter 3, verse number 67 that Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Muslim. Quran says in chapter 3, verse number 5,  that   Jesus is saying to his people verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord worship him alone, and that is the straight path. All the prophets came with that path, but some people in many different times and generations moved away, and they diluted the Oneness of God and started to take Idols as mediators or the creators.

 That is how humans started their faith in Hinduism. Some people began to worship the sun. Atheism started when some people started taking away the concept of God. Some other people, by mistake, started to elevate Jesus, a messenger, flesh and blood, a human, because he was doing Miracles, and they thought maybe he was more than a human, and they started to believe he was a  Son of God or part of Trinity. That is how the faith of Christianity was created by humans and not given by God. Jesus never used the word Christianity, which is not in the Bible. The term Judaism is not there in the Bible, nor is the word Trinity. God sent the last messenger, Muhammad, and peace be upon him, to bring all of these people back again to the faith of Islam.

 Allah sent scriptures to Jesus, Moses, David, Abraham, and other prophets. Those scriptures were only meant for that time and those people. Throughout history, those scriptures started to change and dilute, and some of them got lost; thus, Allah, by His merciful and loving and guiding nature, sent the last book, the Quran. The same Creator sent the  Injil, which was given to Jesus and the books given to previous prophets. He sent the final scripture, and God took the responsibility that no one would change. There are 15 million people who memorize it. The Quran mentions who the Creator is; He is not a human, Jesus or Trinity. The Quran mentions how to transform ourselves, the things we should avoid, the things we should do right and the solutions to human problems. Quran came to transform a human and the family and all of humanity.

Last but not least, the Quran says that one day we will stand in front of God; like when we go to schools and colleges, there is an evaluation at the end of the semester. The evaluation for each of us would be based on the day of judgment according to how we lived, believed, and practised. On that day, God will only admit those people into Paradise who only worshipped one God without any partners and did Good Deeds. If someone falls short, God wants us to ask for repentance. God says many times in the Quran that He will forgive us. Thus the way to Paradise is not somebody who dies for us but by God's forgiveness and repentance. On the other hand, if somebody keeps associating partners with God even knowing the truth, there would be admitted to hellfire.

Grey Clouds

It has been a night of disarray 

as grey storms above me

darken my vision

I'll take that as a given

I know that tomorrow will be different.

a mystery behind my grief

As if it were a sedative

The march of grey  clouds 

shed me some light on lasting hope.

-seremban

Home : A Poetry

 

The shadow follows  everywhere

 no matter where I hide

 always find me. 

I feel exhausted and needing solitude.

Anywhere I goes, I always have with me

the feelings of guilt

Rouse my soul ,

How  will I open the door 

With the broken key.

Take a look at me

 broken and scattered .

Hear my heart's please,

"I want to go home; I must go home."

Building The Learning Organization

 

As organization strive to improve, they begin establishing programmes for continuous improvement. These programmes are typically lengthy and diverse, and they can occasionally appear to be a time drain because they do not always yield results. Sadly, despite the diversity of topics covered by these programmes, their success rate rarely exceeds that of their failures. The primary reason these programmes fail is that most organisations do not perceive commitment to learning.

To enhance an organization's effectiveness, it is essential to acquire new knowledge. Not only does this assist employees acquire new abilities, but it also enables them to view the world from a unique viewpoint. However, in the absence of dedication to   learning, many organizations remain bound to outmoded practices.

Today, an increasing number of organisations acknowledge the vital connection between continuous development and learning. Scholars have also begun to join the cause by creating "knowledge-generating" organization or in new term learning organisations. These concepts are gaining popularity, especially in the corporate sector, but are also gaining attention by public organisations. Nevertheless despite the good indicators, the topic remains extremely complex and difficult to comprehend.

In the book The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge overcomes the argument by providing a comprehensive definition of Learning Organization, which refers to individuals inside an organisation who produce the desired results by continuously enhancing their ability to think and generate new ideas. Additionally, he noted that visions are determined by all members, and individuals are learning how to learn together. According to Senge, there are five components that can be used to build learning organization: systems thinking, team learning, shared vision, mental models, and personal mastery. Meanwhile Nonaka in other hand proposed that organizations to concentrate on vital thought, promote debate, and make hidden idea and knowledge become apparent.

Despite the favourable consequences of the proposals, there are several unsolved questions. How will managers, for instance, know if their firms are learning? What policies and initiatives exist to assist them in implementing the changes?

There are numerous difficulties that must be addressed before learning organisations may achieve success. First, we must determine what they are and how they may be utilised. Second, we need a management framework that is focused toward making the most of the given opportunities. The assessment of learning is the final and most significant issue that must be overcome. This will help organisations to assess their progress and ensure they are maximising their possibilities to become learning organisations.

Learning organizations are designed to help employees develop their skills and knowledge through variety of activities. To effectively implement learning organizations, an organization must also first overcome its building block. These include systematic problem-solving, experimentation, learning from past and present history, and transferring knowledge efficiently and effectively to the organization. Any activities that comprise a learning process are complemented by a collection of tools and approaches. Due to their reliance on isolated examples and accidental occurrences, many organizations are unable to implement these activities with persistent effectiveness. By establishing processes and systems to support these activities, organizations can increase their effectiveness.

Most learning organizations are built based on carefully cultivated attitudes and management processes. These are usually the products of accumulated management processes and commitments that have gradually accumulated over time. Organizations that wish to start a learning organization can do so by taking a few simple steps.

Creating an atmosphere suitable to learning is the first stage in establishing a conducive learning environment. This can be accomplished by consistent introspection and analysis, as well as the development of novel approaches and solutions. Unfortunately, most employees are frequently side-tracked by immediate demands and slow learning. Another powerful tools that can be used to stimulate the exchange of ideas is by opening up boundaries. This allows individuals and groups to get more information and but  keeps them contributing to the organization's success. This is done through regular meetings and conferences, which are designed to bring together various groups and individuals.

Finally these efforts help to remove barriers that prevent learning and increase the level of commitment and involvement in the organization. They also suggest a shift in focus from continuous improvement to a commitment to learning. This is a great foundation for developing effective learning organizations. In addition to a better understanding of the multiple facets of learning, this shift also helps to improve the management and measurement of learning.
