Palestine-Israel: blood on our hands as well – Vinod Sekhar


World must act more swiftly, aggressively to prevent more bloodshed in Gaza

WHAT is happening in Palestine is not a religious matter: both Muslim and Christian Palestinians suffer.


And it’s not a war, regardless how much Israel would like to call it one.

What war takes the lives of more than 3,000 innocent children in a week? What war calls a toddler a terrorist?

When will the West stand up and take responsibility for allowing these crimes against humanity?

Are they not white enough? Do they not speak with an acceptable accent?

Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet are criminals; they are now blatantly committing acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

But let’s be clear here: the blood is on our hands as well.

The world’s governments must act and must take responsibility. And the longer we take to act, the more blood we will all be responsible for.

What is the point in fighting against climate change, or for cleaner oceans, if we are not even more aggressively fighting for the lives of children – the same children we hope will live in a cleaner environment and swim in cleaner oceans?

It’s time to get global priorities right. All countries must live by international law and by the United Nations’ resolutions.

We cannot have one country continuing to believe they are so special that they can skip the laws they find inconvenient.

All civilisations are judged by how they treat their children.

The children represent the future.

What does this say about our future? – The Vibes, October 30, 2023

  1. But IT IS a War.
    Hamas attacked From Gaza, and carried out a massacre of over one thousand Israeli civilians, and to this day, us still attacking Israel.

    There is no country in this world which will stand out by after such a attack, without responding in a manner which will teach deterrence.

    1. Monster I normally allow comments on my blog without challenging them or arguing against their criticisms of this or/and that, but I have to speak up against your flabbergastingly biased comment, stating as if the Israel vs Hamas conflict started only on 07 Oct 2023 and by the Hamas against your "innocent peace-loving" Israelis?

      Monster the Israelis have been walloping the Palestinians and in particular the Gazans for decades, confining the Gazans in the World's biggest open prison (in connivance with an Egypt-bought-over by the Wankees) and deliberating controlling their water, electricity and movements. Some roads were prohibited to Palestinians. The last major Israeli military massacre was the Israeli Operation Cast Lead in Dec 2008, a 22-day military assault on the Gaza Strip in which 1400 Palestinians including many children and babies were massacred. Then earlier there was the genocidal massacres of Deir Yassin, Sabra & Shatila, etc
