Think of us as human beings

All the western countries claiming to be the champions of human rights and the father of them all, America, the power-drunk thieves, are standing with the anti-human Israel with brutal brutality, and have made Gaza a ruin, including children, women and civilians, hospitals, and Gaza. America and all its allies have the same narrative that Israel has the right to defend itself. No one is raising the question of what are the rights of legitimate Palestinians? Why do we notice the violence in Israel and Palestine only now? When rockets fired by Palestinians are falling into Israel? We must understand that if the Hamas rockets fired at Israel are unacceptable, then today’s serious conflict did not arise from these rockets.

Don’t go away, last year 2022 was taking its last breath and according to international media, more than 250 Palestinians were killed by Israeli security forces in occupied West Jordan alone. Human rights organizations continue to accuse Israel of disproportionate use of force with full evidence. Many Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah area of Beit Al-Maqdis have been living under the threat of forced eviction for a period of time. A legal system was put in place that made it possible to forcibly evict them. Within weeks, radical Jewish settlers intensified their efforts to displace these Palestinians, and tragically, for centuries. This process of eviction of the living Palestinians from their lands or territories is simply a part of a larger system of political and economic pressure, and they are deported. have seen the occupation and economic blockade of Gaza, which has made the situation unbearable for the Palestinians. Gaza has a population of less than two million and 70 percent of its youth are unemployed. They have no clear hope for the future.

At the same time, as always, every Jewish government has tried to minimize the chances of a better future for the Palestinians living in Israel and to denigrate them as much as possible. continued the policy of settlement and now a distant solution is now more or less impossible. Laws have been enacted under which a very clear line of distinction has been drawn between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens of Israel.

Do not all these facts justify the attacks of Hamas? The unrest in (occupied) Jerusalem by Hamas and the failures of the corrupt, failed Palestinian Authority are also fueling unrest among Palestinian youth. In Israel, for more than a decade, under the leadership of the far-right government, criminal acts have been committed to promote racist nationalism based on intolerance and absolutism. Gore and his radical Jewish Power Party tried hard to legitimize it. They were made part of the government. It is extremely painful that the racists who killed Palestinians in mobs on the streets of (occupied) Jerusalem are sitting in the Israeli Parliament today.

These alarming trends are by no means unique or surprising to Israel. In Europe, Asia, South America, and the United States, no one has learned anything from the history of the rapid rise and popularity of totalitarian national movements. Instead of trying to ensure prosperity, justice and peace for many, these movements have paved the way for power and corruption for a few by using the hatred found on ethnic and linguistic basis. There is also a generation emerging that wants to build societies based on human needs and political equality. An example of which was seen on the streets of America after the killing of George Floyd, many activists protesting. Now these workers are visible to us in Israel and Palestinian territories.

From Joe Biden, the United Nations expected that the way of thinking based on justice and democracy will be adopted in relation to the world. There were expectations from America to play a key and leadership role in political matters and to bring justice to the oppressed nations. It was hoped that the US would pave the way for cooperation and support by paving the way for the end of the conflicts, but its statements and clear aggressive actions in the recent Palestine and Israel issue have disappointed. The United States gives Israel four billion dollars in aid every year. In this regard, the extremist government of Netanyahu and his undemocratic and racist actions required Joe Biden to play a role that would help to make his name in history, but he did not. The calumny that has been found on the face of humanity by the recent character of , has left Halaku and Genghis Khan far behind. It is necessary to immediately end this cruel behavior and change its path to the principle of equality. It should be based on a way of thinking, which upholds and strengthens the international law related to the protection of the oppressed people of the United Nations and at the same time gives supremacy to the American law. American military aid should not be given to countries guilty of human rights violations under any circumstances.

The new approach should be that just as Israel has the right to live in peace and security, the Palestinians have the right to live a safe and prosperous life. I strongly believe that America can play a very important role in helping Israelis and Palestinians prepare for a better future. If the United States wants to be a strong voice for fundamental rights on the world stage, we must ensure that international standards on human rights prevail at all times, no matter how politically difficult it is to do so. We have to realize that the rights and lives of Palestinians are as important as the rights and lives of Israelis and they should have the full right to live as human beings.
