Injustice reigns, silence prevails
As far as narratives go, the Palestinian and Ukrainian wars present contradictions, influenced by global interests and blind loyalties.
These conflicts ignore truths and realities in favour of political alliances.
The Ukrainian conflict is seen as a proxy war, serving the US's geopolitical ambitions for global dominance.
US altruism is portrayed as a facade, masking intentions of manipulation and profit from the misery created for economic and military gain.
This facade has failed Ukraine, with 500,000 Ukrainian men sacrificed for the US's agenda in a war that is portrayed as winnable but hindered by US ignorance and arrogance.
Comparatively, Ukrainian lives are deemed more valuable than Palestinian lives. World leaders overlook the genocide in Gaza, complicit through fear and obsequiousness.
Discussing the Palestinian genocide is challenging due to the scale of atrocities and Israel's overwhelming response, akin to a plan of ethnic annihilation.
October 7 became a pretext for Zionism to reshape Israel into a puritan state.
Writing about the Palestinian crisis is difficult, given the extreme nature of the situation and the involvement of Israel, the US, and others in the mass murder of Palestinians.
Recent developments, like the International Court of Justice ruling instructing Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza, highlight the need for ongoing dialogue on global violence and political turmoil.
Within the last 24 hours, Israel accused 12 UNRWA employees of involvement in attacks, a claim derived from militant interrogations. The truth of these allegations is questionable, and Israel's treatment of prisoners raises concerns.
Social media has played a pivotal role in exposing the Israeli government's dishonesty, debunking lies with documented evidence.
The Western response to these allegations, including the US-led decision to cut funding to UNRWA, is alarming. The UNRWA is crucial in Gaza, where approximately 90% of the 2.2 million residents rely on its services.
The withdrawal of Western support and Israeli obstruction of aid delivery suggest an intent to commit genocide by refusing essential aid to civilians.
The decision by the US and countries like Australia to withhold aid, based on claims by a consistently dishonest government, exemplifies collective punishment and war crimes.
Politicians like Australian Liberal Senator James Paterson demonstrate blind loyalty and naivety about global issues.
Paterson's narrative echoes US sentiment, defending Israel's actions as a necessary military strategy against existential threats.
This approach reflects a failure of the international legal order and the commitment to fairness and justice professed by the West since World War II.
The crisis and the response of the US and other nations show deep complicity in the atrocities in Gaza. Nations are violating international law concerning genocide, unwilling to acknowledge past and present mistakes.
With civilians suffering and aid blocked, the international community's role becomes increasingly critical.
