Whats happening in Gaza is genocide and the world is complicit ?
The present global condition is a sorrowful embodiment of history's cyclical nature, resonating with the renowned quote:
''Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes.”
In 1919, following the end of World War I, the triumphant nations—Britain, France, Italy, the United States, and Japan—gathered for the Paris Peace Conference. This conference resulted in the creation of the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment of the League of Nations, marking the beginning of a new era in global diplomacy.
The main goal of the latter, as stated in its 26-article covenant, was to advance peace, avoid the repetition of worldwide conflict, and guarantee collective security through negotiation and diplomacy.
The League of Nations functioned with an executive council comprised initially of delegates from the four victorious nations: Britain, France, Italy, and Japan. After losing the war, Germany joined the League of Nations as a permanent member in 1926, but it resigned along with Japan in 1933.
The League of Nations suffered a resounding failure in its pursuit of its fundamental objectives, ultimately announcing its own termination on April 20, 1946. It demonstrated an inability to resolve global problems or exert its power over countries. For example, it was unable to halt Japan's invasion of China's Manchuria region in 1931 or deter Italy's assault on Ethiopia in 1935. Most notably, it was unable to prevent the onset of World War II. The entity lacked sufficient strength to accommodate the expanding and conflicting colonial ambitions.
A different group of winners in a different global conflict convened for another meeting, this time in San Francisco on June 25-26, 1945. At this point, they clearly expressed their goals and established them in a practical and institutional manner once more, with the goal of avoiding a recurrence of the atrocities of World War II. This war resulted in the deaths of 40 million civilians and 20 million military personnel, with about half of the casualties occurring in the Soviet Union.
Their objective was to guarantee global peace and stability, as well as to promote cooperation among nations. The delegates ratified the United Nations Charter, which established new rules for administering the global landscape after the war.
The paradox lies in the fact that the very ''civilised'' victors who advocated for freedom and humanity while establishing the new world order in San Francisco were simultaneously occupying half of the world, causing widespread destruction in Algeria, India, Vietnam, Palestine, and many other nations. From the very beginning, they utilized the charter as a means of promoting new colonialism, safeguarding and advocating for their own interests with an excessive display of arrogance.
They insisted that other countries adhere to the charter based on their own preferences, transforming it into a discriminatory standard imposed on nations, freedom movements, and states to evaluate their behavior in protecting their interests, existence, sovereignty, and rights.
After that, the major countries would arbitrarily designate smaller states or popular movements as rogue entities, threats to peace and security, or defenders of these ideals. Subsequently, then they would either send them to hell or heaven, to face military and "humanitarian" interventions, and economic sanctions, or experience "stability" and engage in "international cooperation".
The continuous genocide in the Gaza Strip and the rest of Palestine exposes the inherent deficiencies in the current system. As of the time of writing this answer, the Gaza Strip has witnessed over 40,000 Palestinian casualties caused by Israeli occupation forces, with more than half of them being children and women. The number of injured exceeded 90,000.
Israeli bombs have completely destroyed entire families. Israeli bombs have completely destroyed over 80 percent of the residential areas and houses in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the displacement of nine out of ten individuals on multiple occasions. Currently, we have reached a point where we measure time based on the number of children killed.
According to an article in the esteemed medical magazine The Lancet, the true number of deaths in Gaza could potentially reach 186,000. The fatalities mentioned are a result of the Israeli occupation forces' utilization of indiscriminate bombing and shelling, as well as actions that indirectly lead to deaths such as malnutrition, obstructing the delivery of medicine, demolishing medical facilities, sewage systems, and drinking water stations, and creating conditions that facilitate the spread of illness. This statistic represents 8% of the strip's population. This would be equivalent to the deaths of 27,000,000 people from the United States, 5,400,000 people from the United Kingdom, and 6,600,000 people from Germany.
This mass death is occurring under the vigilant observation of the "civilized" global community, specifically the triumphant nations of World War II who made a solemn commitment to never allow genocide or warfare to happen again - those who hold the dominant influence over the UN Security Council.
It is crucial that we stop burying our heads in the sand and to accurately label things by their true names. We can describe this situation as either a deliberate and alarming lack of response, effectively allowing Israel to kill people without consequences, or active involvement and cooperation by consistently providing weaponry to the occupying power for the purpose of exterminating Palestinians.
This situation is occurring under the pretext of “Israel’s right to defend itself." This is an unequivocal distortion of the truth. According to philosopher Ahmed Barqawi, individuals who assassinate the truth are aware of its veracity but choose to deny, distort, or create a false and non-existent "truth." The most dangerous consequence of this deliberate distortion of reality is that it facilitates the occurrence of genocide and all other criminal acts perpetrated in Palestine.
The fact that the West is facilitating genocide is not surprising, considering the influence of its white supremacist ideology in previous genocides worldwide, such as those in Rwanda, Bosnia, and against Jews in Europe. The belief in white supremacy has driven the most flagrant breaches of international law and the most atrocious acts of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Panama, Cuba, and other locations.
White supremacy, which enforces Jewish supremacy, is also a prominent factor in Palestine. A significant number of individuals in the Western world adhere to the teachings of Bernard Lewis, a Zionist British-American historian. Lewis divides the world into two distinct cultures: the "superior" Judeo-Christian culture, believed to foster civilization and rationality, and the "inferior" Eastern-Islamic culture, allegedly associated with terrorism, destruction, and backwardness.
This erroneous division deprives people in the Islamic world and the East, regardless of age or gender, of their inherent human qualities, portraying them as mere "human surplus" and a "burden on humanity." This perspective elucidates Western nations' savage and collusive conduct in the ongoing atrocities committed against Palestinians.
Besides bringing white supremacy to light, the situation in Gaza also indicates the decline of a civilization that pretends to respect principles of humanity, justice, and reason. In addition to exposing the Western world's double standards and hypocrisy, the failure to enforce principles of justice and accountability also signals the decline of the international order that the victors of World War II established. This failure is evident in the inability to stop bloodshed, genocide, injustice, and exploitation in Palestine and other parts of the globe.
Indeed, the post-World War II system, characterized by the pursuit of self-interest by individual states, the concentration of decision-making power, and the domination of smaller countries, has failed to ensure either security or peace. Instead, it has significantly exacerbated the proliferation of conflicts, war crimes, famine, poverty, and racism to an unparalleled degree in the annals of humanity, pushing the world perilously close to a global war that has the potential to cause immense devastation and loss of life.
The current system's decline has hindered the inclusion of countries with substantial civilizational influence and noteworthy contributions to stability, peace, and global cooperation, such as India, Egypt, and Brazil, from attaining permanent membership and assuming a prominent position in international affairs.
This deteriorating system has deprived the diverse and evolving world of its ability to pursue a more just, equitable, and rational order. Fair relationships, promoting peace and international cooperation, and rejecting wars, occupations, and exploitation should govern this order. We should prioritize respect for human dignity, human rights, and justice in this order.
The current situation has led us to a dangerous crossroads where we must choose between pursuing justice for everyone or yielding to the law of the jungle. Either we establish a system of collaboration based on equality, respect for sovereignty, and the right to self-determination, or we embrace ideologies of racial and cultural superiority, injustice, and exploitation.
The United Nations, like the League of Nations, is also facing failure. The present circumstances require a shift in the global system towards a more equitable one that includes everyone, treats nations on equal footing, upholds worldwide peace, and fosters international collaboration. The objective should be to foster unity across varied cultures that enhance the quality of human life and existence, rather than promoting division based on racist notions of the ''children of light'' vs. the ''children of darkness''.
