The Israeli-Gaza war has exposed Western nations for what they are: incurable hypocrites. The same people that support Ukraine in its fight to drive away Russian aggressors and occupiers, fail to see the justification for the long abused, oppressed Palestinians to also stand up and free their land from Israeli occupiers, who treat them as sub-humans.
Israel, this year before the outbreak of war last Saturday, had killed over 200 Palestinians.
Israel keeps defying the UN with impunity as it continues to build more homes in areas that belong to Palestine. The whole world knows before the latest eruption that Gaza is an open air prison for its two million population.
Instead of Western nations to join the reasonable call for peace and justice in the never ending conflict, they have chosen to support Israel. The greatest surprise is Ukraine, which is fighting Russia. It also supports Israel.
The West labels Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists, the way they labelled ANC, MPLA and other African liberating groups.
Dear Western nations, Hamas and Hezbollah are fighting right causes. They are fighting for freedom. They are not terror groups. Listen to them and do justice, instead of backing their oppressors. It's time for the implementation of the 2-state solution to the perennial conflict.
