Oh boy, another drawing loosely based on real life events, just like another one I made earlier this year .

In this picture, the Alexandria Accords of 2024 is being processed. The United States has tried and failed to mediate a peace process and solidify a lasting peace between the State of Israel and the Palestinian governments to settle the decades-long grudge and conflict. Now is the turn for the Justice Alliance of Japan, the superhero organization that has been active in fighting crime in Japan and elsewhere, to do the job.

Here, negotiation talks are underway in the site where the new Accords are to be signed, the headquarters of the Justice Alliance in Alexandria, Egypt. In the middle are the mediators, twelve of the most powerful members and leaders of the Alliance. At the bottom row at the table between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders are (from left to right):
Judah Kyrakios ex Hierosolyma, a very powerful Jewish-Coptic Magi sorcerer-priest who is the Prime Exarch of the Alliance and the descendant of Jude, brother of Jesus ;
Benjamin Tatsuya, a half-Japanese half-Israeli supergenius and captain of the Alliance's flagship Evidegoras ;
Ichirou Tachibana, the Grandmaster, the highest authority and leader of the Alliance, called by many as "the greatest superhero on Earth";
Lily Ramses Futaba, the quarter-Egyptian girlfriend (and later wife) of Ichirou and part of the Alliance Trinity alongside him; and
Goddamn Samurai, the greatest non-superpowered superhero in the organization and part of the Trinity.
Behind Ichiro are two Elite Highguards, a collection of the Alliance's strongest warriors tasked to protect their leaders. On the top row are (also from left to right):
Se-Ptolmes, the deified incarnation of the Egyptian-Greek Pharaoh Ptolemy, founder of the Egyptian Sorcerers' Society and a strong ally of the Alliance;
Hong Xiuquan, the celestial younger brother of Jesus Christ whose soul was summoned to the present-day by Judah;
Martha, the dragon-taming Saint sent and tasked by the Archangel Michael to join the Alliance;
Gouten Amagami, the extremely powerful High Archon of the Alliance and an advisor for Ichirou;
Yuuko Morino, Ichiro's former homeroom teacher and the Witch of the Grand Oceans;
Prin Prin, the Princess of the aliens who reside in and represents her kingdom in Pandora Space ; and
Inui Takagi, the General of the Alliance's Protection Regiment and a bodyguard and close friend to Ichiro.
On the left side of the negotiating table are the Israeli leaders: the High Priest Yitzhak Yosef (In the Mahou Kaiju Series universe, the position of High Priest was revived by the Israeli government to replace the office of the President as the country's head of state as a reaction to the renewed war with Hamas and as a means to strengthen Israel's national and religious identity. Yosef was appointed after his ten-year term as Sephardi Chief Rabbi concluded at the end of 2023.), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was recently re-elected with a new far-right government in 2023 after being briefly ousted, and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. And on the right side are the Palestinian leaders: Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh, Palestinian Authority President and Fatah Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, and Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Muhammad Ahmad Hussein.

But enough about the mundane unimportant trivia. Now, for the important details: where do I stand in the issue between Israel and Palestine, especially in light of the recent war between the Zionist Israeli government and the Gaza-based Islamist terrorist group Hamas that has raging for over a month now?

The situation is extremely complicated quite frankly. There is really no side who is definitely right, as there is ugliness in both sides, although one could make a decent argument that one or the other side has more ugliness to it that is the more rancid. The thing is however, unlike Israel, the Palestinians are not unified in terms of government as the general scope of the Palestinian authority is divided between the secular Fatah in the West Bank and the extremist Hamas in the Gaza Strip. And unlike the Ukrainian-Russian war, the conflict between Israel and Palestine is not so black-and-white. I said that America has failed multiple times to alleviate the tension between the Israelis and Palestinians, but there is no one reason why all attempts for a lasting peace have failed. There were multiple agreements that went nowhere simply because one or the other, or frankly both sides did not want it. There are Palestinians that want to see Israel and the Jews wiped off the map, as much as there are Israelis that wish the same for the Arabs and for their Jewish State to be all over the Levant. There are also a good amount of Arabs and Jews that want peace between Palestine and Israel. And while both sides tend to get extreme in their methods and I want to see both factions, the Israeli government and Hamas, take responsibility for their actions, ultimately, the one with the shovel in hand is Israel because all of the tension is rooted on the decades-long occupation of a land inhabited by people who have lived in the region for hundreds of years by a people who emigrated under uncontrollable circumstances and the push from a 19th-century ideology of Zionism. They are the strongest and most advanced military power in the greater MENA region and the only nuclear power there, always backed by the world's superpower in the US. They have the power to end the suffering in Gaza, dismantle settlements built in the West Bank which were ruled as illegal by the international community, and give the non-Jews, especially the Palestinian Arabs, equal opportunity and rights regardless of where they are in the country and respect them unequivocally and unquestionably.

The matter in the Holy Land, especially the bragging rights in Jerusalem, which both sides claim as their capital, is a very messy headache, and in my honest opinions, there is merit for both sides and their claim to the capital and the right to inhabit that land based on historic and religious precedent. However, neither are willing to make friends, will deny the other's right to even a grain of sand in the Land and seek to resort to extreme measures. Of course, what Hamas did that day was barbaric and horrible, but that doesn't excuse the horrible things Israel has ever done in the past, like the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Palestinian Arabs in the aftermath of the 1948 war, and even to this day, as the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are under the risk of starvation due to Israel completely cutting off the region from the world. If anything, what happened on October 7 was an inevitability, bottled up decades-long resentment and hatred that built up over a long period of time thought these terrible conditions and events, all of it waiting to explode. Thankfully, whatever aid could be delivered came to the innocents through Egypt, and recently, talks of a truce came up and Hamas released more prisoners and hostages, although that is in exchange of Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners themselves. So, we might be seeing the end of the current fighting on the horizon, but not the decades-long hostilities. With no definitive peace and a desire to coexist, another war of this scope is inevitable and bound to happen in the near future, simply because neither, whether it be Netanyahu's right-wing administration or the Islamists or Fatah fueled by religious, nationalistic and/or antisemitic zeal, wanted to give the other an inch. Even today, the international community condemns Israel's actions, such as the illegal establishment of settlements in the West Bank, and one could make a sound argument that Israel is running a system of apartheid or that the siege on Gaza and its people could be ruled as an ethnic cleansing campaign or worse genocide, even though the United Nations has lately been pretty much useless in enforcing these condemnations (which is why in the Mahou Kaiju Series, the Justice Alliance champion themselves as the true enforcers of righteousness and peace that the U.N. is mostly unwilling to commit).

As for whether I am for a "one-state" or "two-state" solution, it will be clear when I explain what the Alexandrian Accords are in a future deviation that I might release later this week. So, bottom line, while Hamas is the aggressor that fired the unwarranted first shot that killed over a thousand innocents and therefore is worse, there should be justice for the victims and what happened, both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian hostilities are eager to annihilate the other and are not looking to make friends or do peace unless demanded, although there's the theory or argument that Netanyahu wanted to keep the Palestinian factions split and keep Hamas alive albeit weak as a way to further the narrative of his administration and Likud party and keep themselves in power, as well as to keep the Gaza Strip under perpetual occupation and a weak romp entity under the eyes of the . And all of this is just senseless terrible bloodshed in this cycle of violence.
