Three men sat on the side of a busy street, debating who among them was the most irreverent, the most heartless. To settle their argument, they made a bet. “Let’s see who can prove their lack of respect for others,” one of them said, and the challenge was set
As they watched, an elderly woman, frail and struggling with a heavy load, approached. The first man stood up and walked over to her. Without hesitation, he shoved her to the ground. She fell hard, her burden scattering on the street. He looked at his companions with a smirk. “Look at me. I’m the most disrespectful. I’ve harmed an innocent woman.”
The second man, not to be outdone, stood up. He walked to the woman, still on the ground, and began kicking her in the face with his boots. “Now see,” he said smugly, “I’m even worse. I am more disrespectful than you.”
The third man, who had been sitting quietly, didn’t move. His companions turned to him, confused. “Aren’t you going to do something?” they asked. “How can you prove you’re more disrespectful than us if you do nothing?”
The third man looked at them, his face somber. “That woman you’ve just assaulted,” he said, “is my mother. And I did nothing to stop you. That makes me the most irreverent of all.”
This dark tale of disrespect can be applied to the current global situation. Israel is like the first man, committing brutal acts of violence against innocent people, particularly in Palestine, claiming lives and causing immense suffering. The United States is like the second man, who not only watches the violence but actively supports it, providing weapons, diplomatic cover, and political backing to continue the injustices. Yet, the Muslim countries, who share a deep connection with the suffering people, are like the third man in the story—the ones who remain silent, watching the harm unfold but doing nothing to intervene or stop the oppression.
In a world where injustice and violence are rampant, it is often not just the aggressors or their supporters who bear responsibility. Silence in the face of wrongdoing can be even more damning. By remaining passive while atrocities are committed, the silent bystanders become the most irreverent of all. They betray not only the victims but also their own values, proving that indifference in the face of injustice is the greatest disrespect of all.
This story serves as a haunting reminder that inaction can be the most harmful form of complicity. Just as the third man silently allowed his own mother to be assaulted, so too do silent nations allow innocent lives to be lost, failing to speak or act against the crimes committed before their eyes.
According to my opinion the person that is sitting on the table is Worse than other ones.
The reason is in front of us if we see around us we Find the problem of Hopeless Palestines .
They all are like brother and sisters even mother’s but we don’t take any action against Israel.
Same story is mentioned above.

Nice
The story is a poignant allegory about complicity in the face of injustice. It illustrates how different forms of behavior—direct aggression, passive support, and silent complicity—contribute to the suffering of others. The first man represents overt perpetrators, the second symbolizes those who support violence, and the third highlights the danger of inaction. Ultimately, it challenges readers to reflect on their responsibilities to intervene against injustice, emphasizing that silence can be as harmful as direct harm.
I have no words for explaining it
I think the 3rd person is very much irreverent bcz he can’t do any thing for her mother if he did something for her mother…then he would be able to raise the voice for Israel issue…
Sir it’s great you wrote with your hands , It remind me again about iran israel and Pakistan…
Actually I listened this from an Aalim who was shia, he was showing to prove that first man is like isreal the second one is America and the the third one is “we” that we always remain silent…..
So the third one is most “beghert”.😑
As, above article is targeting that Muslim nation are just watching the misery of Palestine calmly, but not doing anything. I agree with that statement, but….. Lets have look back in history.
Nazism treat Jewish people not more than a pig, they were treated like dogs, in concentration camps, because Hitler knows what they will do if they remain alive. Even in Quran more than Christians Jewish are mentioned more ( YA bani Israel~ oh nation of Israel), by all means Allah waran Muslim that they are clearly your enemy.
A nation which is rejected by ALLAH SWT and even people
Yet? Palestinian give them shelter. And even they sales them there lands?? Broo come on??? Like they don’t know selling motherlands can be risky?
I still believe that it was greatest mistake of Palestine that they give shelter to Jewish and the results are being faced by their grandchildren 😕
I’ve no idea about review of this issue…
And also I’ve no Words because it’s a very complicated conflict..
