Time to take a stand against Israel
The war between Israel and Hamas has been raging since October 2023.

Time to take a stand against Israel

Dear Editor,

Zionist Israel and the United States of America (USA) are a threat to world peace. It is as simple as this: the USA, like an enabling father, blankly supports the “golden boy”, Israel, in whatever dastardly acts he commits.

We have witnessed the unprecedented devastation of Gaza, the controlled demolition of infrastructure; the ruination of the lives/livelihoods of the Palestinian people; maiming; slaughtering; and genocide of 27,000 men, women, and children, and still counting.

America’s golden boy has frowned at every international law for decades, including the rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the United Nations (UN).

Zionist Israel has continued its wayward actions, occupying and annexing lands slated for the Palestinians. Violence against Palestinians by Jewish Zionist settlers in the West Bank and Gaza continue unabated.

All this time the USA has openly endorsed using veto power at the UN to sanction whatever Israel does. How did the USA, the “beacon of freedom”, reach this level? What power and control does the Jewish Zionist regime have over the USA, England, and the world powers that continue to support it.

How much longer will Arabic countries in the region stand wringing their hands before getting involved? We see Houthi fighters in Yemen firing missiles on ships bound for Israel. Worldwide protests in these Arab/Muslim countries will put pressure on their governments to do something to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people.

America and the few who support Zionist Israel in Gaza’s killing field have no moral authority to rebuke any other country that might resort to anything similar. Yet the USA, England, and the others who support Israel have demonised Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, they have had the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issue a warrant for his arrest.

Compared to what Israel has done to the Palestinian people, Putin has done nothing wrong.

Any government with a conscience should not be ashamed and cower in silence for fear of the Zionist’s “anti-Semite” label. They must lend their support to the Palestinian’s right to life, freedom, and dignity. They must take drastic action to reign in America’s golden boy by cutting off all diplomatic relations with the Zionist regime. All Zionist Israeli embassies must be closed and diplomats in these respective countries declared persona non grata.

Diplomatic relations with the Zionist apartheid Israeli regime should be restored only when it complies with international laws/norms.

When this happens the US will fall in line with the world community and not stand out like a sore thumb thumping its finger at the world community.
