Has humanity failed? When we watch news about genocide waged by Israel in Gaza, it seems to clearly show that. The West has failed with their so-called enlightened values, and the Muslim world has failed the Ummah and our beloved Prophet (s.a.w.) in the process. Shame on us all.
It hasn’t even been a week, when the “most moral” army in the world, the zionist IDF murdered, burned alive 45 people in a refugee camp, and, yet again, the whole world was silent. And the great pinoccio himself, Netanyahu, or should I call him by his real name, Mileikowsky, told the believing world that it was an accident, whoopsie-daisy.
And it was just yesterday, on Saturday the 8th of June, when the news was filled with gleeful reports that the IDF managed to free four Israelis captured from the music festival. That’s great news, right?
It definitely would be, had the murderous IDF kept the collateral damage to minimum. But no, they went and again used the opportunity to murder over 200 people. And no one questions how on Earth did this miraculous and daring rescue happen now, on the same day when one of the ministers in Mileikowsky’s cabinet was supposed to resign and take his political party from the government. It’s surprising how events happen simultaneously.
The US, of course, kept silent from any kind of condemnation of this bloodbath. The EU stated that they “condemn this latest bloodbath in the strongest terms,” whatever that may mean. But there seems to be a deafening silence from such players like the Arab league. The Arab states seem rather keen to watch the genocide raging on than let Iran take more active and dominant role in the region and to lose the favours they get from Washington. In other words, the Arabs, who are supposed to be a part of the Muslim ummah, would rather let part of it wither and die than defend itself. Justify this to a revert Muslim, who stands and watches horrified what is going on.
Whilst the inaction goes on, and whilst the protests and marches of the people continue, the genocide machine of Israel kills and kills and kills like the gas chambers of the Third Reich 80 years ago. The empty words of the old and senile US President Biden, who said that “attack on Rafah is the red line,“ meant nothing, nothing at all. Poppycock!
We watch the genocide go on, even after the International Court of Justice orders Israel to halt the operations. The genocidal Zionist state wipes their shitty arses with international law, aided in this by their vassal state, the US. How do you expect anyone, not just any state, but anyone, to respect a rule of law after this, when not a single country will assist in bringing the ICC order into fruition?
Not just that. But in countries such as the UK and US, the laws are drafted to cull down the protests supporting Palestinians. Germany has already silenced pro-Palestinians, including the BDS movement, branding it as anti-semitic. Germany is a forerunner for this because they feel they need to bow down to Zionism in every turn because of their guilt. That includes being part, yet again, on genocide. They never seem to learn.
Now it is high time that every one of us stops to think what is going on. Or have we forgotten what was done in World War II?! How many Jews, Roma, Sinti, Catholics, mentally ill, LGBTQ, PoWs, etc, were murdered and cremated in the extermination camps around the Third Reich, whilst the rest of the world closed their eyes?! Or is it just like it was back then? It happens far away, so I don’t need to care.
But we all need to care. If we just stand idly, we risk seeing the scene from the above picture come to life again. We might be afraid to take a stance, saying no is difficult even in everyday situations, and if we risk losing friends, family, and jobs over taking a stand… it makes the decision to say no even more difficult. The right path is not always the easiest path, and that is exactly the reason why we must take a stand against injustice.
We must grow balls and guts to stand against the threat of the far right and Zionism. Zionism, which tries their hardest to hijack Judaism. If they were on the right path, do you think that the Holocaust survivors and their descendants were demonstrating against Zionists and the genocide in Gaza.
It was the discontent with the policies in place and the inaction of people, which enabled the right wing to gain ground in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, roughly 100 years later, we have to have grown a spine, so that we can unite to stop the rise of the same far right, who are staunch supporters of the genocide that Hitler’s apprentice, Netanyahu, is orchestrating under our very eyes.
Looking at different societies, I fear that not all have grown a spine in a hundred years. Finland is governed by right-wing politicians, who staunchly support the Israeli genocide. Even the so-called Christian Democrats cry out for the blood of their enemies, clearly forgetting that they are supposed to be Christians or Democrats. The people in Finland still carry the echoes from the treatment of the Karelian evacuees from when they were displaced by the viscious attack of thr Soviet Union. Even when the evacuees were Finnish citizens, they were sometimes shunned and seen as second class citizens, who got more from the government than they should have.
Then, on the opposing end of the scale we have countries like Malaysia, whose collective actions have had a serious effect on businesses, such as KFC, McDonalds, and Starbucks – all staunch supporters of the genocidal IDF. Malaysians, from the other side of the globe, hold the Palestinians near and dear to their hearts even to the top levels of the government. Another proper example of the countries at this end of the spectrum is South Africa, who did the right things from the word go and dragged Israel kicking and screaming to the ICC, exposing their true agenda early on.
Countries like Malaysia, South Africa, Ireland, and Spain realise what is going on, as they either have a history of being colonialised or have battled apartheid and won, or have suffered under facism that made people disappear without a trace. These are lessons that we, the rest of the world, should pay heed to.
It is our duty not to remain silent in the face of this genocide. This is not a matter of race or religion. This is a matter for humanity. And let me be very frank with this, and remind you: by staying silent, you become complicit and approve of genocide in Gaza. The complicity doesn’t recognise your religion. It only sees your silence and will brand you for the rest of your life and beyond.
Myself, I have been too timid as well. There are no excuses left for me to write about other things, and make other topics the priority.
A long time ago, I was told that sometimes people need gruesome pictures and harsh words to wake them up, and it is my belief that now is that moment. If you choose to side with humanity – well and good. If you choose to remain silent and complicit, I just hope that your grandkids will shun you because you did nothing.
Ms. Florence Nightingale, the Lady with the Lamp is one of my personal idols for a multitude of reasons. It is also because of the above quote, why I can not remain silent. If I have a duty towards my patients to speak out for them in situations where they can not or dare not, do I not have the same duty when it comes to a genocide?
Should it not be a duty for every human being with a conscience?!
Think of it, and make the right choice.
