Israel has exposed the Hypocrisy of Western Powers over Human Rights
The
West, Europe, and the Arab world struggle with conflicting humanitarian and
selfish interests and have completely failed to prevent Israel from committing
acts of violence over civilians including babies, new-borns, women and
children. Instead of acting as silent spectators, the global powers must
demonstrate genuine humanitarian concern to prevent Israeli violence against
Palestinians, as even hospitals in Gaza have become slaughterhouses.

Points
· Israel is committing horrific acts of
violence against civilians, including women, children, and babies while
justifying these acts in the name of eliminating Hamas.
· The most oppressed people worldwide
are currently facing the greatest oppression in Gaza, with global powers in the
West, Europe, and the Arab world remaining silent.
· The self-centred nature of the global
powers has resulted in a lack of desire to combat the Nafs, leading them to
remain silent spectators.

Can
you imagine how painful it must be to read of the continued violence committed
against mothers, sisters, new-borns, infants, children, women, and other
civilians of Gaza, Palestine? Is it not the case that the most oppressed people
on the planet are currently experiencing the greatest oppression in Gaza, after
the global powers in the West, Europe, and the Arab world have become silent
spectators?
The
global powers appear to be having two conflicting feelings. One feeling is
humanitarian, even though it is not sincere in its approach. Their tone is
languid, as they express the opinion in the limelight that Israel should
refrain from killing civilians. However, Israel is not influenced by this low
tone to cease violent deeds.
Another
feeling compels the global powers to support Israel under the pretence that it
is battling Hamas; however, the truth is that Israel is deftly adopting the
monster role, murdering women, children, and babies among civilians while
morally repugnantly justifying its most extreme and brutal acts of violence in
the name of eliminating Hamas. As seen by the 1948 Great Nakba in Palestine, it
is crucial to keep in mind that Israel started occupying Palestinian territory
in a very unfair manner even before Hamas was founded. However, the global
powers feel that they should act as silent spectators and selfishly focus on
their own economies, riches, and energies. As a result, they have lost all
moral, spiritual, and humane strength to support humanitarian causes, keep
Israel under control, and put an end to the merciless violence.
They
understand the feeling of human cries because they are also human, but they
have lost their internal, spiritual or moral strength to fully support the
humanitarian cause by immediately stopping Israel from using violence and
finding a solution to the protracted Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Their Nafs
[Self] have spiritually defeated their moral power and have transformed them
into quiet onlookers rather than a force for supporting good and just
humanitarian causes. As a result, their
attempts are frustrated and they are powerless to stop human fatalities and
other serious consequences in Gaza, Palestine.
The
world powers no longer have the desire to combat the Nafs due to their
self-centred character and political ambitions, which drives them to continue
acting as mute observers. The following is an English rendition of an Urdu
essay that was posted on newageislam.com and may evoke human feelings to
understand the pain of human cries.
Hospitals in Gaza Have Become Slaughterhouses

The
Gaza parliament has allegedly been taken over by Israeli forces on the 40th day
of their violence and aggression against Gaza. In addition, reports have
surfaced indicating that 179 individuals, many of whom were new-borns, were
buried beneath the debris of the Al-Shifa hospital due to Israel's barbaric
attack. Their mass grave was constructed inside the hospital due to a lack of
resources. This may be the biggest mass burial ever discovered worldwide. But
it is also the grave of those who want to establish peace in the world with
dangerous weapons and have stood on the back of Israel with all their strength.
The World Medical Organization's chief claims that Gaza's hospitals have turned
into slaughterhouses and that the international community must speak out
against this.
A man
working as a gravedigger in Gaza says that he has lost sleep and is unable to
eat or drink. He had never thought in his life that graves would have to be dug
for so many people at once. For several days, the doctors and nurses of
Al-Shifa Hospital were saying that if they do not get electricity, the
new-borns in the hospital will die. Their apprehension proved correct. Not only
did many patients and injured die due to lack of electricity and fuel, but also
many premature babies died. The hospital had run out of water, electricity,
food and fuel. That is, the Israeli beasts had completely destroyed the
hospital before they captured it.
The
bombing by the Israeli army murdered the sick and injured who were receiving
medical attention at the hospital. Officer Munir al-Barsh of the Gaza Ministry
of Health broke down in tears in front of an Al Jazeera reporter, stating that
"stray dogs are scratching the dead bodies of civilians in the hospital
yard because no one can touch them after the heavy bombardment."
The
equipment is unfit for burial at this time. As these lines are being written,
the Israeli army has entered al-Shifa Hospital with its tanks. They are looking
for the underground hiding places of Hamas there. The main target of the
Israeli operation in Gaza is hospitals that have been turned into mortuaries.
There are corpses everywhere, and they are decomposing since they aren't being
buried.
Yes,
this is Gaza, where Israel has been letting fire rain for the past forty days
with the assistance of its allies. In this most recent round of brutality and
violence, 14,000 innocent Palestinians have been slain thus far. The
Palestinian ambassador in New Delhi, Adnan, has provided this number. According
to him, 3,000 people are buried beneath the debris of the buildings, while the
official death toll is 1,000.
Many
thousands have lost their homes, and over 28,000 people are hurt. Gaza today
resembles the largest cemetery on earth, with tales of carnage and ruin
resounding everywhere. The nations of the world supporting Israel in this
atrocity and bloodshed do not listen to the cries of the little children in
Gaza, nor are they overpowered by the rags covering their bodies. In them,
humanity has perished.
The
leaders of the West have wrapped themselves in a mask of apathy and conceit.
The Arab and Islamic nations took their seats, but they lacked the bravery and
strength to preserve the lives of their future generations. A wild beast's hand
was too big for either of them to hold. Although the oil is produced in Arab
nations, America and Israel also regulate the supply, as evidenced by the
hospital in Gaza where children were dying from a lack of fuel and Israel was monitoring
the supply.
Alas,
the Arab countries do not have control over the oil produced on their land.
During the conference of Arab-Islamic countries last week in Riyadh to review
the Gaza situation, Algeria or Lebanon suggested that the Muslim countries that
have diplomatic ties with Israel cut off their current oil supply. However,
this proposal was rejected because it was the least that the Arab countries
could do in protest.
Among
those opposed to the proposal was the United Arab Emirates. Because of this,
the meeting ended in empty words with no resolution, and the Muslim nations
were unable to intervene to put out the fire in Gaza. The vulnerability of the
Arab countries has demonstrated that a small country has grown into a major
military force in the Middle East, putting a tumour in the Arabs' chest.
During
the ongoing aggression on Gaza, Israel has broken all the records of brutality.
No place is safe from bombing. Hospitals in Gaza have been the most severely
affected. The attack has totally destroyed 35 hospitals in Gaza. When there is
a conflict, hospitals, refugee camps, relief organisations, and shelters are
among the places where extra caution is needed. However, in Gaza, Israeli
forces have targeted these safe havens the most.
Israel
claimed that Hamas built its camps under these hospitals and refugee camps. The
main hospital in Gaza was completely destroyed on the basis of the same charge,
although there was no indication of Hamas there. This reminded the US and its
allies of their accusations against Saddam Hussein during the military campaign
in Iraq that he had hidden WMD, even if they eventually turned up empty-handed.
But in the interim, Iraq was demolished piece by piece in a manner similar to
how Israel demolished Gaza. What's amazing is that the nations that supported
America in the past are now supporting Israel.
Al-Shifa
Hospital is now fully under Israeli control as these words are being written.
There are Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles inside. Muhammad Shtayyeh, the
Palestinian prime minister, claims that Israel has established Al-Shifa
Hospital as the symbol of Israeli authority over Gaza. According to him, the
collapse of Al-Shifa Hospital would signal the collapse of Gaza. This is just a bogus justification for
killing the wounded, sick, doctors and medical staff. According to
international law, he claimed, that bombing hospitals, turning off their
lights, and preventing ammunition from getting to them constitute war crimes.
Arms suppliers to Israel bear equal responsibility for crimes against women and
children.
