Since Israel inflicted its vicious siege upon the Gaza Strip, it has almost become wholly sealed off from the rest of the world. This has resulted in unthinkably terrible conditions and drastically affected all walks of life.
Most notably, the ongoing closure of borders has caused the medical system to collapse, leading to steep decline in medicines, medical equipment and food supplies, that, with every passing of a moment, jeopardizes the lives of hundreds of patients. Sequencing in a lack of job opportunities and the absence of permanent income, unemployment has aggravated the people's financial conditions, and therefore flung them into poverty strike.
A much frequently raised question is that will the international community, while observing this continuing massacre, move beyond words? It also questions the undignified stance of the Arab world on this issue!
Reports, being issued by many international human rights organizations, are countless. Everyday, too, we hear official statements of condemnation & criticism from all over the world. Also, calls for lifting the siege are being hollowly made. But all has been in vain-Where is the world's human conscience! This can by no means be rational; what a cop-out! Couldn't UN, EU, and America-the so-called womb of democracy-do anything but stand inactively at the sight!
In fact, the Israel-led siege (note I say "Israel-led" because the entire world seems to be an accomplice) is part of a most inclusive presentation of the repressive policy of the occupation being imposed on the Palestinians in all occupied territories-either in Jerusalem where schemes are currently being carried out in terms of demolishing houses, separating the Holy City from the rest of the occupied territories in an attempt to obliterate any Palestinian trace, and declaring it unreachable to most prayers in Ramadan-the Holy Month.
Any signs of hope that peace talks will evolve sound to be impassable amidst Israel's stiff rebuff of any possible approach to issues like permanent freezing of settlements expansion project, Jerusalem & the fundamental refugees' right of return. Any attempt at peace progress would seem futile because of Israel's high-flown conditions. Thus, there is obviously no manifestation that would indicate any deliberatively serious involvement of the international body to try enforcing its resolutions.
The question that should automatically be raised is this: is there still any chance for peace while Israel constantly menaces the existence of an entire people? The truth is that all nefarious crimes being committed by Jews serve only to dedicate more occupation.
Let's face up to the fact that Israel is committing a premeditated hideous war crimes and therefore must be prosecuted.
It high time for those leaders, of wakeful human conscience, to walk their talk, to try stop Palestine's tragedy which has been going on for more than six decades. It is time to dispatch the occupation and help establish the Palestinian state, because neither false intentions nor empty denouncement can ever make peace...
