Justice & Law Quote by Ali A. Saleh

“Flammable” is a deliberately chosen word: it turns politics into chemistry, a warning that the region isn’t merely tense but primed, one stray spark away from catastrophe. Ali A. Saleh writes like someone trying to jolt complacent readers out of the comfortable idea that conflict is a chronic condition to be managed. The sentence is built as a fuse: danger (“may explode at any moment”) is immediately paired with blame (“absence of justice”), making escalation sound less like tragedy and more like consequence.

The intent is plainly diagnostic and prosecutorial. Saleh isn’t predicting violence as a mystery; he’s arguing it is engineered by structural impunity - specifically, the gap between “international legitimacy resolutions” and their execution. That phrase does double work. It appeals to the authority of international law (a moral high ground) while also indicting the global system as performative: resolutions exist, legitimacy exists, but enforcement doesn’t. The subtext is that the international community prefers paperwork to pressure, and that this preference becomes part of the violence.

Context matters in the way he frames causality. “Crucial events” signals a moment of heightened flashpoints - intifadas, wars, settlement expansions, raids - without naming one, allowing the line to travel across news cycles and still land. His language (“Israeli Arab cause,” “oppression on Palestinians”) positions the conflict as asymmetry, not rivalry, and treats “justice” as a missing stabilizer. The rhetorical move is strategic: if justice is absent, instability isn’t an exception. It’s the system operating as designed.
