By Sajjad Suhail-Sindhu, Edited By Adam Rizvi, The India Observer, TIO: All those watching current events unfolding around the Middle East, must wonder why the Arab leaders are so powerless in the face of Israel running amok, appearing to bomb willy nilly without fear of repercussions, haphazardly, indiscriminately, and randomly.

How does Israel get away with it ?

The answer, is that Israel is a “democracy” – albeit a minority elected government with elected officials with far reaching extremist views – who, still, are democratically elected and as such, the government composed thereof is a respected one around the world.

Despite the carnage that minority government has caused in Gazza, some calling that carnage, nothing less than a Genocide, a modern day Holocaust – the worst wartime slaughter of human beings since the end of second world war.

And this democracy gives its leader, Netanyahu strengths that Arab leaders simply do not posses. Arabs are Princes, life Presidents and Kings, whose acquisition of the position they hold given them by virtue of their birth, and  belonging to a royal family. They do not need to be elected – and by the same metric, for reasons of being unelected, these Arabs are weak and powerless.

Democracies play a pivotal role in the fortification of nations, providing a framework that fosters political stability, individual rights, and collective well-being. By empowering citizens through the electoral process, democracies c reate a government that is accountable and cultivate an environment where elected officials can make difficult decisions essential for national progress – and be respected around the world. The primary strengths of a democracy lie in its foundations and universal rights of its sovereignty, the elected officials,  the government, deriving its power from the consent of the governed.

These principle features of a Democratic nation ensures that elected officials are responsive to the needs and desires of their constituents, promoting a sense of ownership and engagement in the political landscape. When citizens participate in elections, they exercise their right to voice their opinions, influencing policy directions that reflect the collective will. This active involvement cultivates a political culture that champions transparency and  accountability, whereby elected representatives are incentivized to act in the best interest of their electorate – giving them strength.

This electorate being the backbone – the foundational basis on which such strong democracies are formed, beginning with a robust education system favoring the most apt, the most capable of students – selected on merit and whose abilities allow them to become future leaders themselves, who go on to undertake positions of responsibilities within the framework of that democracy, that system of laws brought about by the Constitution of the country, allowing fair and equitious governance both at local and at national level.

Arab countries lack such systems of laws, systems of governments, and their leaders, and judges of the judiciary are chosen not on merit, not on proven abilities, arrived at by many years of education resulting in the best amongst them coming to be recognized as obvious leaders, but through nepotism, and graft.

Arabs leaders are either kings, princes and or chosen Presidents whose tenure turns into decades of rule, and whose progeny thereafter, are encouraged, readied even, to undertake leadership roles for the future. These children never get the education, they never enhance, never develop their abilities and imagination that would show them results of their actions, provide alternative avenues of outcomes resulting from choices made. Poorly educated individuals  becoming their country’s leaders, lacking the backing of their citizens, lacking the strength provided by having been elected by their population remain poor in said decision making, fearing for their own futures, they readily give into those whom they would – should, stand tall against, showing the strength of the nation, should they have been elected.

Absent such a nation, these Arabs result in what we are watching – weak leaders, fearful of their own tomorrows, fearful of being bombed in their sleep. Netanyahu, on the other hand, shows a strength that far exceeds that of any Arab, or any Muslim leader of the present-day Muslim governments. He shows no weaknesses, only strengths – all of which have their foundations in the systems of democracy that chose him. Arabs have watched this for the past 30 years, and never having gotten, the required education that would have expounded their abilities to see into the future, are no more useful than slave nations providing tributary to empires past.
