THE United States was created on the core principle of ethnic cleansing of the original people of America – the so-called Red Indians. Israel is executing the same policy of ethnic cleansing against the original people in Palestine.
So, the US leaders find the Israeli leaders a perfect ideological match. They also find the Israeli policy perfectly compatible with the founding US policy of ethnic cleansing. Thus, the condemnation of Israel has never been a US policy. They always support Israel. Israeli leaders not only get appreciation from the US but also all the necessary ammunition to execute the policy of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.
Now the Israelis are rejoicing, relishing, and celebrating the deaths and starvation of the people of Gaza. The Israeli government describes the atrocities committed against the Gazans as a prerequisite for their survival.
But the Israelis are denying the survival rights of the Palestinians. They are not allowing food, water, and medicine to enter Gaza. Most of the hospitals have been reduced to rubble. They are also bombing the refugee shelters. No place in Gaza is safe.
The people of Gaza have no option but to mourn the deaths of their dear ones and starve. The injured ones have no choice other than enduring a painful process of death without painkillers or any treatment.
The US and its Western allies are silently watching the Israeli crimes. It seems humanity has already died in their hearts; they are no longer a moral entity. Only people with dead souls can show such a policy of continuous inaction and silence on the ongoing genocide. Such silence could only encourage Israel to continue its atrocities.
The Israeli war on Gaza has adequately exposed Israel as a state of genocidal criminals. Only a genocidal criminal can support such a criminal state.
The Arab leaders are complicit in the crime for their criminal silence. Leaders of other Muslim countries also share the blame. It is a shame that the Muslim countries have such spineless and heartless leaders!
It is a pity that the world has become so unsafe for the weak, as if the struggle for freedom is now a crime. For such a struggle, the helpless people of Palestine face genocide and ethnic cleansing.
On the other hand, the genocidal criminals go unfettered and unpunished on this planet. The United Nations is fully non-functional. It is, in fact, clinically dead. So, it can’t even condemn Israel for its crimes, let alone stop the genocidal war.
It is a pity that the world has become such a paradise for powerful criminals. They face no red lines in their crimes.
