What kind of collective action it is?
During my limited exposure to unfathomable world of collective action and co-operation, I tried to learn whatever I was exposed to. Now when fag end of subject is imminent, I am bound to think weather we have discussed only white side of collective action. Recent headlines in newspapers form the basis of my premise.
Hundreds of innocents have been massacred in Gaza collectively. US-supplied Israeli F-16 warplanes and Apache helicopters dropped bombs on dozens of locations in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip, killing hundreds of civilians. The U.S. government was one of the first to offer its support for Israel’s attacks, and other western countries followed. Those who are not explicitly involved in massacre are supporting actions of Israel by keeping their mouths shut. At this juncture, I am allowing myself to ask a simple question, what kind of collective action and co-operation it is?
Israel is a member of UN and UN was agency, which envisaged emergence of a new world order by collective action and co-operation of member countries. But here in case of Israel -Palestine quagmire a new world order has been set up to vanish Palestine identity by collective action of US and some more western countries. Certainly this kind of actions are in benefit of US, Israel so it might be beneficial for them but what about the world as a whole? Will we keep this kind of action under collective action and co-operation?

nobody can write about the interests, collective action and cooperation like stuff of the two countries involved in it. this fight is a part of a long war between jews and the muslims and both will be right and justifiable on their part. both countries have their self interests attached either it is the fight for survival i.e. for israel or it is like continuing the legacy i.e. for palestine. as an outsider we really can't write anything. we should try to find the solution for this else talking about the cooperation part. we have a visiting faculty in our campus right now and she had been a mediator in the peace talk between the two countries. we shall find some time to have an interacting session with her, then only we will be able to appreciate the reasons for such a prolonged fight.
