The UN Human Rights Council has issued a lengthy report titled “Anatomy of a Genocide.” As the title indicates, it describes in detail the ongoing Israeli Genocide in Gaza.
Despite the abundance of evidence regarding Israel’s savagery, the liberal West not only does virtually nothing to stop it, but is actually complicit in the genocide.
Where are all those liberal academics, activists, journalists, and policymakers who have spent much of their adult life preaching about human rights and the virtues of the liberal international order? They are AWOL in the face of one of the great crimes of modern times.
Alex Lo, the distinguished columnist for The South China Morning Post, hits the nail on the head in his recent column, which is titled: “The Western World Has Already Dug Its Own Grave in Gaza War.”
He goes on to say: “By enabling Israel to unleash its genocidal impulse, most leaders of developed nations have crossed a moral red line that cannot be undone.”
The following three paragraphs from Lo are especially worth considering:
“The most extraordinary censorship is being exercised across many Western countries, but especially in the United States and Germany, to silence anyone who tries to speak out what everyone already knows is going on in Palestine. It is no accident that the two countries that make the most of the Holocaust as universal civic education are the two countries that most actively enable a real-time genocide being committed and shown live on our computer screens and social media pages.”
“Silencing the victims’ cries so the killers can continue with the butchery, and criticism is considered racial hate speech against the killers and their apologists. Who does that?”
“The West cares more about the feelings of the butchers than the lives and limbs of victims. Western ‘civilisation’ now sounds like a contradiction in terms.”
Thank you John for bringing this report and more to be read, heard, uncovered and shared. I am without words, exhausted from the pain so many millions are suffering from. My need is to scream ‘Stop’ at the same time my cries seem to do nothing.
I become more paralyzed by the fact that much of the world is ignoring the slaughter and genocide of thousands of little children and their families… innocent Palestinians. There are millions of people from other nations who have been and are also victims of unbearable suffering, oppression and killings… yet collectively we do nothing.
My thoughts run wild trying to find a way to make this nightmare Stop…perhaps you can help me. I am exhausted living in a world more and more unrecognizable and unrepentant. There is so much hatred, it is devastating.🌸
Thanks for your great work Professor Mearsheimer! We've shared the link on our daily report.
