Justice is Suffocated and Truth Is Destroyed

We are living in a time witnessing justice being suffocated and truth destroyed in a country that pretends to be democratic and preach justice and freedom for all. Living in the United States for more than six decades I discovered that democracy, justice, and freedom of speech are a mirage, they exist only in our imagination, the events in Gaza have exposed the United States and its European allies to their reality. We see the US Administration and its allies standing up with Zionist Israel and accusing anyone who criticizes Israel as an antisemite, raising the Palestinian flag and the slogan that Palestine is free from the river to the sea is unacceptable, even in the universities. Some heads of prominent universities were trying to quell the voices that were supporting Palestine and its people during the protest against the war and US support to Israel, they considered that the slogan from the River to the Sea Palestine must be free, and the one democratic secular state solution was anti-Semitic as well and must be punishable. It is sad to see the US politicians and some heads of Educational Institutes taking supportive part of the Administration’s awful position in supporting the massacre and carnage that is taking place in Gaza, they became part of the Zionists who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the rest of Palestine.
Netanyahu is exploiting the mythical tales of the Biblical orders to slay the enemy, a mantra which was preached and encouraged by the Zionist Rabbis: “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, and camel” This is what is going on the ground in Gaza, more than 12,000 civilians were killed, more than half of the houses destroyed, animals were not spared, schools and medical institutions became of the past.
The Guardian reported: ‘Water is scarce and fear is pervasive’ in Gaza: UN rights chief repeats urgent call for a ceasefire.
The UN’s human rights chief, Volker Türk, has reiterated increasingly urgent calls for a humanitarian ceasefire to allow lifesaving relief to reach Gaza.
Mr.Türk, speaking to journalists in Amman on Friday, also called for the release of all hostages taken from Israel and a “sustainable” end to the “nightmarish” situation for those trapped in Gaza.
“Water is scarce and fear is pervasive” in Gaza, he said as he wrapped up a five-day visit to the Middle East which included Rafah, Egypt.
He spoke about his visit to el-Arish hospital, where he saw young children who had been seriously injured in Gaza. “These were the ‘lucky’ children who suffered terribly but are still alive and receiving proper medical treatment,” he said.
The UN rights chief reiterated that while civilians should be protected under international law “wherever they are”, right now “nowhere in Gaza is safe”. He added:
Stop the violence, guarantee the safety of humanitarian workers, provide safe access to ensure that humanitarian assistance can be delivered to all those in need, make sure people have enough to eat, clean water to drink, and medical care and shelter, free the hostages, serve accountability and bring to justice in line with international humanitarian law the perpetrators of serious violations.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the healthcare system in Gaza has “reached a point of no return” amid escalating violence that has “severely” affected hospitals and ambulances working in the besieged Palestinian territory and destruction affected Gaza hospitals ‘becoming unbearable.
Yes, indeed, indeed, we agree with you, Mr.Volker Türk, those who are responsible for the carnage, destruction of the infrastructure, and genocide should be brought to justice, including those who supply Israel with weapons. Justice is destroyed and freedom of reporting from the press is controlled, under the supervision of Zionism.
