Palestinians too are Human Beings and must be treated so

It is now official. Benjamin Netanyahu
is the Adolf Hitler of our time. It is clear that he is working tooth and nail
to surpass Adolf Hitler’s number of six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and
collaborators. It was eighty years ago. Eighty years later and humanity can still
sink this low! How history can be savage when repeating itself!
For at least seven decades, Palestinians have been dehumanized to the extent of treating them as refugees, with no safe place, in their own land. They have been treated in a manner that categorically denies them of any human dignity. They are not considered to be human beings. They have been subjected to unjust, savage and primitive insult. What a shame!
This mentality is responsible for the attitude being displayed by many countries claiming to be developed, democratic and founded on humanitarian values. These are the same countries that claim to exist to maintain international peace and security and to achieve cooperation among nations on political, economic, social, and humanitarian challenges.
The question
lingering in our minds is one resulting from the disturbing absence of all
these countries and the so called global institutions like the UN while Israel
and USA primitively put everything at their disposal, to the decimation of Palestinians.
Israel, a
country that is best known as home to survivors of the Holocaust, should have
been the last to commit genocide in the Gaza. They know very well the pain,
torture, horror, hopelessness and dehumanization that go hand- in- hand with a
genocide.
Once bitten,
twice shy is that adage that urges humans to be cognizant of the past and take
it for a teacher so that we do not fall in the same mistakes or dangers. That
is what the world would expect Israel to be and to do. As survivors of the
Holocaust at the hands of savage Adolf Hitler, they would be the last people to
carry out, let alone wish a genocide.
But alas, 80
and more years later they are treating the world to the horrors they went
through! Considering the determination, ease and satisfaction with which they
carry out these heinous crimes one fails to come to terms with their
commemoration of the Holocaust. What message are you passing on to the world? Are
you in your senses? Are you stable upstairs?
Genocideurs
prioritise their personal selfish interests, have no respect for rule of law
and human dignity. They have a weird way of using Holy Scriptures to defend
their evil deeds. That is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President
Donald Trump; selfish and senseless blood suckers. Even the retired and near insane Joe Biden
cannot be excluded from these heinous crimes; he is a key collaborator in the
genocide. It seems Biden now has enough time to sit and watch how his genocidal
programme is implemented to the script.
But a wrong
remains a wrong no matter how many support it. And something correct remains so
even if no one is doing it.
Israel Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to tame the savage within him and gone
for everything within reach in Gaza. He has come out as an excellent student and
admirer of Adolf Hitler the German who terrorized the Jews. Just like Hitler,
in total disregard for international law, Netanyahu has indiscriminately bombed
residential homes, schools, hospitals and all medical facilities. Pagan
Netanyahu has not spared even the UN shelters. Benjamin Netanyahu is, savagely,
as bold as Adolph Hitler.
Genocideur
Netanyahu continues to deliberately murder medical personnel, aid workers and
journalists and destroy ambulances. International humanitarian law accords
special status to hospitals and ambulances. Israel Defense Forces have
disregarded all this and gone ahead to systematically bomb and destroy anything
that has ability to sustain the lives of the Palestinians.
Children are
being exposed to war violence and trauma on a daily basis as values of freedom,
democracy and human rights have been thrown to the wind. Scenes of helpless
children and the elderly bleeding in hospitals without facilities are the norm
in Gaza as the whole world looks on! And the IDF even has the guts to block the
injured from accessing the destroyed health facilities. Starvation is being
used as a war weapon! That is how savage the Israelites are! Even the countries, and international bodies,
that have decided to simply look on are savages themselves. They are a nuisance
and a disgrace.
The old man,
Donald Trump, at his age and position has completely failed to walk the talk at
a critical moment in world history; instead of putting the vast resources at
his disposal to foster sustainable peace and development, he is satisfied with
giving Israel weapons, money, advice and diplomatic cover to implement the
genocide. Donald Trump is not only an accomplice in the Gaza Genocide, he is
the funder who is very keen to ensure that the genocide is implemented to the
design and satisfaction of Israel.
The old man
shamelessly, as if mentally deranged, comes out in public to declare that he
wants the Palestinians’ land for a resort!! These are statements of a devil
incarnate.
The UN has
not only been reduced to a laughing stock but has become a nuisance and
disgrace before those committed to a world order based on justice and respect
for human dignity.
Should the
UN, established after
World War II in an attempt to maintain international peace and
security and to achieve cooperation among nations on political, economic,
social, and humanitarian problems be the one to go on its knees to beg Israel to allow it to
provide food, shelter, protection and other amenities critical to the survival
of the Palestinians being annihilated?
Who is to maintain law and order on the world stage? If not the UN, then
who?
America,
Israel and cohorts overlook the fact that by rendering these world bodies
useless, they too become victims of the absence of such institutions that are
supposed to reign in circumstances requiring the taming of states that become
unruly irrespective of their financial and military status. Soon or later they
too will have a share of the bitter and savage fruits of selfishness,
oppression and arrogance that they continue to sow.
It is under
such circumstances that the least expected, like nature, will be forced to
retaliate by Divine intervention to come to the aid of the oppressed.
The war raging
on between Ukraine and Russia is another case in point. With functional world
bodies in place, such brutal and senseless wars would not be taking place. The
selfishness of America, Europe and cohorts is the reason why the world
continues to witness these heinous wars. Are you waiting for these savage acts
to come to your backyards so as to realise the importance of justice and peace?
May be that is when you will rise up and defend the respect for humanity.
The vast
resources of these so called super-powers and developed countries are being put
to the purchase of destructive weapons. What the world yearns for is
sustainable peace and development. It smacks of primitiveness to put all these
resources at the display of might instead of promoting humanity and all facilities
that sustain it.
The Vatican
Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin reiterates that: “Everyone can
contribute to peace, but solutions must never be pursued through unilateral
impositions that risk trampling on the rights of entire peoples otherwise there
will never be a just and lasting peace.”
Neighboring
Arab states have displayed an unforgivable level of betrayal similar to the
Biblical Judas Iscariot. The hundreds of thousands of meetings they are
engaging in cannot be an excuse for failing to come to the aid of Palestine
when a genocide is being carried out by the occupationists, Israel and the USA.
There is no doubt that if Egypt, Qatar, Jordan and UAE suspend their selfish
dealings with Israel and stood up for the dignity of Palestinians, Israel,
America and cohorts could not go ahead with the implementation of the genocide.
By deciding
to continue working with the Genocideurs you have become collaborators in the
genocide against Palestinians. You are making the Palestine genocide possible.
You have chosen not to see and not to act appropriately. Otherwise, how can you
explain the genocide to continue right before your nose? You can only be
exonerated if you came out with unrivalled vigour to ensure the implementation
of the two-state option; before that, you are deliberately collaborating and
dancing to the satanic tune called by the Genocideurs.
How can you
have the guts to claim that you are talking about peace when a genocide is
raging like a wildfire? How can you call for a cease fire but put pressure on
Hamas to fulfil its obligations but let Netanyahu do as he pleases? These
so-called Muslim brothers have chosen evil and blood-stained money over their
brothers and sisters! They have become the Biblical Cain who rose up against
his brother Abel, setting up the first savage attack on human life.
Like
America, they too are simply talking about Muslim-brotherhood but cannot come
to the meaningful aid of their Palestinian “brothers.” What a shame! Hoping
from one meeting to another, and hosting one world leader to another, yet the genocide
continues for now a year and more is a farce, shame and a disgrace. Does it
matter whether Marco Rubio goes to the Middle East for a thousand times yet
their partner, Benjamin Netanyahu, continues to annihilate Palestinians? How
many times did you host Anthony Blinken, and yet the genocide kept gaining
momentum?
By May 19,
2024 at least 35,386 Palestinians had been killed since October 7, 2023. All
the world is treated to are endless meetings which cannot stop the genocide or
even help those individuals and organisations struggling to provide the much
needed items for the survival of the victims of the genocide- the Palestinians.

Wherever one
turns, questions prop up without answers. Where is the international community?
Where are the so called defenders and promoters of democracy? Where are the
much pronounced Arab countries? Do you still have the moral authority to police
these values so succinct to humanity yet have shamelessly left to disappear in
thin air when it comes to Palestine?
The whole
world bears responsibility to bring this genocide to an end and to bring to
book all the perpetrators. But UN must shoulder the biggest burden of ending
these heinous crimes. That is why UN must answer whether the international human
rights treaties and declarations are still legally binding for the promotion
and protection of human rights, especially in Palestine.
Are they still effectively binding on
states that have ratified them? What has happened to the everyday rights such
as the right to life, equality before the law, freedom of expression, the
rights to work, social security and education? Do human rights still
simultaneously entail both rights and obligations from duty bearers and rights
owners? Do we still comprehend our solemn duty to speak-up against hate, to
stand-up for the human rights of all, and to make those rights a reality?
UN has invested a lot of resources, time
and forcefulness in the promotion of LGBTQ+ but what is stopping you from doing
the same with the two state option as a permanent solution to the now
institutionalised dehumanisation of Palestinians? What has happened to our
common humanity? Do you still affirm the worth of every human person Mr. UN?
And like
fate would have it, the Gaza genocide has been going on at a time when Rwanda,
in April 2024, marked three decades of a genocide the world remembers very well
to have taken place while the UN looked on! Are there any lessons learnt? Has
the UN outlived its purpose or it simply selectively fulfils its mandate? What
should countries do to merit UN’s meaningful intervention?
The world
will definitely be a better place for us all if the UN response goes beyond
“Noting with concern…” and passing redundant Resolutions.
Unknowingly,
Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have absolved Adolf Hitler of
the crimes of genocide against the Jews. Otherwise, how can one accuse Adolf
Hitler of genocide and then praise, support and fund Benjamin Netanyahu’s
genocidal plans? If Benjamin Netanyahu considers Palestinians as unworthy of
human treatment and thus fitting to be eliminated like cockroaches, then Adolf
Hitler too be left free to nurse his evil views towards the Jews.
Again I will
ask: what has happened to our common humanity?
Let no one
buy Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump’s savage and primitive reasoning, and
excuse, that Israel has a right to self-defense. Who deigned that Palestine does not? A
genocide is a genocide no matter whether against Jews or Palestinians. What is
going on in Palestine, effected by Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, is a
genocide and must be categorically condemned by all in their proper senses
without mincing words.
Palestinians
too are human beings and must be treated with respect and dignity. Palestinians
too deserve security and prosperity, self-determination, peace and security of
humanity. The earlier America, Israel and cohorts admitted that Palestinians
too are human beings and must be allowed to exist just like the Jews and other
human beings, the better and safer it will be for the world.
“The sheer number of children killed in Gaza is horrifying, and it's heartbreaking to think of the scars that so many of the survivors will carry—in their bodies, their hearts, and their minds—for the rest of their lives. The media reports less on the rising violence in the West Bank, where deaths, injuries, and arrests are also increasing. There, too, many of the victims are children” Fr. Ibrahim Faltas, Vicar of the Custody of the Holy Land.
Benjamin
Netanyahu and Donald Trump further have the guts to say that safe zones have
been created in Palestine. Where are these so called safe zones that the
Palestinians cannot access? It is savage and primitive to talk of safe
humanitarian zones with no clean water, toilets, food and health facilities. Where
are these safe zones that cannot protect Palestinians from Netanyahu’s bullets
and bunker-busters? These are merely a reminder of Adolph Hitler’s gas chambers
and concentration camps which the Jews know very well. Are you telling us that
you miss these experiences!? Do you want to relive them!? Why do you subject
Palestinians to such? You bomb residential homes, schools, hospitals and
refugee camps. Where should the Palestinians find refuge?
The
so-called safe zones are characterised by death, destruction, anguish, agony,
horror and starvation. The massacre in Rafah on Sunday 28th May,
2024 is a case in point of the evil in the so called safe zones.
By June 6,
2024 at least 36,000 Palestinians had been killed by IDF since October 7, 2023.
Of these 15,000 children! At least 3,000 children have lost their limbs; many
amputated without anesthetics!
Grim figures
further indicate that at least 17,000 children have lost one or both parents.
Three hundred health facilities have been destroyed. All curtsey of Israel’s
“right to self-defense”
Gaza Civil
Defense told the world that at least 20 people were buried alive at Nasser
Hospital. Mass graves in Al Masry and Al Shifah contained bodies of children,
elderly and people shot in the head while handcuffed!
This climate
of devilish impunity is only similar to that which Adolph Hitler subjected the
Jews to. And Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump are as bold as Adolph Hitler
was. How history repeats itself!! So unfortunate that these criminals want the
whole world to join them.
“Dehumanising
Palestinians is a basic stupidity that will never hold.” These wise words were
spoken by Daniel Levy- US/ Middle East Project. It is visible even to the blind
that Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump only dream of dehumanising
Palestinians. That is why they keep boasting about the War Cabinet all the time
and “hell falling loose.”
In a recent report on Gaza by the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese accuses Israel of committing an act of genocide with roots going back to well before the attack by Hamas on October 7. 'Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza,' said Albanese, 'is an escalatory stage of a longstanding settler colonial process of erasure.'
The war
cabinet. Where is the peace cabinet? Why not use the vast resources at your disposal
to create sustainable peace, development and co-existence? It is foolhardy to keep
reasoning that Israel has a right to self-defense. How about Palestine? Hasn’t
Palestine got a right to self-defense? And why would one demand that
Palestinians must sit back and fold their hands while the Jews and cohorts
reduce them to guinea pigs?
Because they
are human beings, and like other human beings, they have to fight back in
self-defense. Anyone who does not want the Palestinians to fight their
tormentors, oppressors and occupationists, must tell Israel to resort to human
and civil means to bring about sustainable peace and development in the region.
Talk about the two state option.
It is again
foolhardy for Israel and cohorts to expect to reap peace in the region yet they
sow discord, hatred, anarchy, death, destruction and all the other dehumanising
acts they engage in. The old adage, what you sow is what you reap ably applies
here.
Until when
will the two-state option be just talked about but never implemented? This is
the solution to the decades long massacre and annihilation that hovers over
Palestine. It is only hypocrisy and double standards that stand in the way of
resolving this Adolf Hitler- style of pushing forward savage and primitive
agenda.
In the Roman
Catholic Church, to which I not only belong but I am the Church itself, we are
ordered not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us.
Leviticus
19:33-34a teaches that: “You shall treat the alien who resides with you no
differently than the natives born among you; you shall love the alien as
yourself; for you too were once aliens in the land of Egypt.”
Until today
the Roman Catholic Church continues to forcefully condemn crimes and attacks
against human life. In his Encyclical Evangelium
Vitae on the Inviolability of human life, Saint Pope John Paul II has this
to say: “Whatever is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder,
genocide, abortion, euthanasia, or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates
the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on
body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human
dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment,
deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well
as disgraceful working conditions, where people are treated as mere instruments
of gain rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and
others like them are infamies indeed. They poison human society, and they do
more harm to those who practice them than to those who suffer from the injury.
Moreover, they are a supreme dishonour to the Creator.”
I believe
those who have ears, and a conscience, are listening.
Preventing
and stopping a genocide simply calls for everyone to do the little within his
or her means to stand up for human dignity. Majority international
organisations have abdicated this responsibility for selfish reasons, racial
and devilish considerations.
May 20, 2024
ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Makhan, sought arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu
and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. On May 24, 2024
the ICJ ordered Israel to stop the massacre in Gaza.
Norway,
Spain and Ireland exacted pressure on the Genocideurs when they decided to
recognise Palestine as an independent state. They went ahead to recognise the
1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital. Though it is a small step in
the right direction, it is comforting because half a loaf is better than no
bread. More drastic steps need to be taken.
University
students against the genocide in Gaza stood up and demanded that their
universities divest from Israel. Notable are: George Washington university, University
of Southern California, Colombia University, Texas University and many others
in the Western capitals and other countries around the world.
Solomon may
long be dead but it is consoling to find some people and organisations in
Israel who can be pointed at as wise and are convinced that co-existence is not
only possible but the solution to the genocide. It is these that the world can
rely on to bring sanity in the Middle East by fearlessly confronting the
satanic Netanyahu and his fellow Genocideurs.
Many other
people around the world continue to stage protests calling for the end of the
genocide in Palestine. Thank you for standing with the Palestinians to end the
genocide. This is a self-assigned task which you cannot afford not to bring to a
logical conclusion. Genocideurs have money, power and authority but evil will
not triumph over good for ever.
Indeed
everyone has a role to play in order to have in place an environment that
protects, promotes and respects humanity. This applies to climate change as
well. Even if the so called world powers and world organisations fail us, let
us not fail ourselves. We have a duty to stand up and demand for the
unconditional observance of total respect for the sanctity of human life and
nature too.
Pope John
Paul’s appeal to “every upright conscience” on the Inviolability of human life
further pointed out that: “Respect, protect, love and serve life, every human
life! Only in this direction will you find justice, development, true freedom,
peace and happiness!”
