World blindsided by genocide in Gaza

From The Irish Sun

Contributed by Lucia in Spain

".....This is an ongoing holocaust while the world watches — a world held hostage by Israel’s continued acts of occupation and barbarity against the rightful inhabitants of a land that the world has turned its back on.

Now what would give a nation like Israel the brazen idea that such activity would sit well with the world? In a greater part, it is the continued assenting posture of the United States government that is fueling this drive to eliminate a people from their own little spot on earth.

The fact that there has been little or no censure from the US of recent Israeli activity in Gaza has simply worked to encourage the brutality of the Israelis against the Palestinians. And the pathetic figure of an impotent UN secretary-general, who has proven himself to be nothing but a doormat for the US, does not give us the confidence that there would be any action from the man to bring attention to the dire situation of a people slowly being led to their deaths or to emphasize the need to help them.

And where are the European Union and the rest of the civilized world as such a holocaust unfolds? Do they believe that a holocaust a second time around will absolve them of their guilty complicity in the first one?......"
