Voices from Gaza’s Rubble Call Global Humanity to Rescue
Silent Voices of Victims waiting to be Rescued from the Rubbles
Political cyncism is characteristic of egomaniac leaders and wickedness to shield their insanity against humanity even though they are wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity and alleged genocide. There are contrasts and widening gulf between the Israeli-American perception of war on Gaza and how the global community views it as planned massacres of civilians putting finished answers to the freedom of Palestine and crimes against humanity. The masses of Gaza are the net victims of the ongoing war. International laws were imagined to cope with situations of exceptional crises during the 2nd WW. The laws on paper written in dry ink are not laws without a force to implement its meaning and objectivity. Favorite perversion is implied to question the facts of life as the US and some West European leaders are glued to individualistic interest to protect the Israeli leaders from systematic legal accountability. There appears to be sharp differences within the EU as the Republic of Ireland, Spain and Norway announced to recognize the State of Palestine as a legitimate entity in global affairs.
The ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan clarified “the day has come’ to seek arrest warrants for the Israel PM Netyanhu and Defense Minister Galant and some of the leaders of Hamas for the crimes against humanity under articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute, including “starvation of civilians as a method of warfare,” wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, willful killing or murder as a war crime, “intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population” and “persecution as a crime against humanity.
Professor Michel Chossudovsky, the author notes: There is a complex history behind Israel’s October 2023 plan to “Wipe Gaza off the Map”. It’s genocide, an absolute slaughter……In a bitter irony, the ICC Prosecutor’s accusations against Palestine –which include alleged acts of “Extermination”, “Murder” and “Torture” (see ICC statement) suggest that the State of Israel rather than Palestine is the victim of Genocide.
‘The Emperor has No Clothe’ The US and Israel’s Fallacy of Peace and Moral Integrity
The US is a superpower today, but it could be a bewildered powerless entity tomorrow as worldly power and economic influence are constantly changing and do not bring happiness and infinity. President Biden called the arrest warrants “outrageous,” and Secretary Blinken asserts the US “fundamentally rejects the announcement.”President Biden and PM Netanyahu maintain denial of the facts of raging war when facts of life warrant a navigational change for an immediate ceasefire and peace-making. Intelligent and responsible leaders always have a passion for facts not fantasy.Today, two of Gaza’s hospitals (Al-Adwan and Al-Aqsa) in the Northern area were targeted by the IDF and medical staff and 1300 patients ordered to leave – is this cruelty has another name?
The US is complicit in making the war on Gaza. There are unexpected volcanic eruptions on major universities and students raising voices of reason and scholars challenging the Israeli onslaught on Gaza and demanding change in the US official policies and practices toward Israel. The Israeli leaders used American supplied weapons to massacre more than 35,500 innocent people of Gaza, 14,000 children, 9,500 women, and some 12, 000 children or more buried under the rubble and some 75,000 or more injured; and habitats destroyed and killed innocent citizens for no other reason except intransigence and animosity against Arabs and Muslims. Mike Whitney, a renowned geopolitical and social analyst based in Washington State, explains the crux of the problem: (“Fighting Back Against A Historical Racist Genocide.” Global Research: 5/20/24): https://www.globalresearch.ca/fighting-back-against-a-historical-racist-genocide-mike-whitney/5857516
And that’s just typical of the colonial mindset. The thing is, is that Israel is really the last bastion of that form of settler colonial mindset. And you can see the impact of that over the decades….., You wonder where this rash of sadistic behaviour comes from. And it comes from that years and years of colonial supremacy just steeped in these people’s bloodstreams. So it’s a very toxic environment that creates a very prejudicial mind…..And then eventually, when you see the other as distinctively inferior to yourself, then any form of crime can be perpetrated and justified because you are the superior being…. the most effective tool we have right now, one of the EU leaders said it just two days ago, he said, “the only way Netanyahu’s going to stop bombing Gaza is when he runs out of bombs.”
Are there any lessons to be learned from the Jewish history?
Do human cultures and civilizations grow out of the maligned proclamations of rule of law, freedom, justice, cruelty, occupation and conquest of other lands? Is the US-Israel alliance floating on the stream of place and time to be wiped away by the Laws of Nature? The Earth being bombed and destroyed by Israel is the same planet on which Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus lived and preached the message of God for truth, peace, human unity, freedom and justice. Those denying the truth will be questioned and punished by God.The Earth is a sacred trust to mankind and is a living organ floating in space by the Will of God andsustains all life and aggressors are warned by the Divine injunction: “Say! Travel through the earth; And see what was the end of those who rejected Truth.” The Divine Reminder is explicit: Quran: Chapter 6): We have sent down the Torah containing guidance and light…We prescribed with children of Israel (progeny of Jacob) that anyone who kills any person without another soul being involved or causing mischief in land, acts as if he had killed all mankind. Any one who spares life acts as if he had granted life to all mankind…..Those who do not judge what God has sent down are wrongdoers.
And killing of innocent people is prohibited in the Ten Commandments (Torah):
‘Thou shalt not kill’ (Exod. 20:13; also Deut. 5:17). Jewish law views the shedding of innocent blood very seriously, and lists murder as one of three sins (along with idolatry and sexual immorality), that fall under the category of yehareg ve’al ya’avor – meaning “One should let himself be killed rather than violate it.”According to Rabbi Judah Loew of Prague: ‘Jewish law forbids the killing of innocent people, even in the course of a legitimate military engagement.’
The Arab-Muslim leadership is a Dead-ended Entity on Global Chessboard
Steven Cook (“Arab Countries Have Israel’s Back—for Their Own Sake.” Foreign Policy: 4/18/24) explains that “Last weekend’s security cooperation in the Middle East doesn’t indicate a new future for the region.” Historically, wicked and aggressive people enjoin friendship and apathy for vicious plans against mankind. They were submissive to the Master, not safeguarding the interest of their own people. Many Arab leaders including the Saudi and the UAE princes have investments in Israel via Jared Kushner- son-in-law of Donald Trump. America and Israel view all the Arab States as vulnerable to besiegement and political supremacy. If the Zionist plans of conquest continued as is the case, soon there will be no Arab states left without foreign occupation.
The Israeli-American denial of crimes against humnaity,”genocide” in Gaza, forcible explusion of millions clearly represent ferocious conception of rigth and worng and how irrtaional the leadership tends to be in real world affairs. Political cynicism is endemic and leaders appear mentally and morally retarded without any accountability to the informed global masses seeking an end to the war and peace in the Middle East.What a shame, what a disgrace that Arab-Muslim countries have armies, resources but no responsible leadership and would not act to defend people’s freedom, rights, dignity, and sustainable future.
