Gaza Massacre: The Collapse of the Western Capitalist System of Values
News:
United Nations officials are investigating possible war crimes committed by both ‘Israeli’ forces and Palestinian groups, including Hamas, following violations of international humanitarian law in recent conflicts. Since the escalation of violence on October 7th, actions on both sides have come under scrutiny for alleged violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), a body of rules aimed at limiting the effects of armed conflict. The similar concern was raised by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights which mentioned that war crimes had been committed by both ‘Israel’ and Hamas in the war.
Comment:
Six weeks of Jewish barbaric massacres have claimed the lives of more than 14,000 people, including more than 6,000 children and 3,500 women. The world has witnessed an attempt to legitimize this genocide which has yet again reminded us the hypocrisy of the Western system of value which was never ever being observed by the very Western regimes.The full death toll of violence in the U.S-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, let alone of the broader global war on ‘terrorism’, remains difficult to determine. In a follow-up report on US led war on Iraq, noted that at least 42,500 civilians were reported wounded and at least 210,090 civilians have been killed.
The United States, a country labeling itself a "human rights defender," "chronic diseases" such as money politics, racial discrimination, gun and police violence, and wealth polarization are rampant. Human rights legislation and justice have seen an extreme black slide, further diminishing the rhetoric basic rights and ‘freedoms of the American people’. Western governments have maintained their stance which justifies innocent blood spilled in order to maintain control in the region. They pretend to value human life yet when it comes to their interests, human life is cheap as in the case of Gaza.
The Gaza crisis has also proved International laws on war and the ICC are both Western tools of which its European sponsors will never brought to book for the crimes they commit in Muslim lands! Furthermore, severity and leniency of this biased imperial court will always depend on the interests of its sponsors. Additionally, it is no surprise for ICC to be silent Jewish State which continue to kill Muslims in the Blessed Land of Palestine.
The Guardian published an article eight years entitled ‘The end of Capitalism has begun’ and it is now crystal clear that it has already died but its masters feel shame to pronounce its death. Their violation of their own international norms, their colonialism in their foreign policy, disrespect for the rights of women and children are clear manifestation of the collapse of their system. They cannot summon the world again on their calls freedoms, human rights and war on ‘terror’ as there as truly indicators of bankruptcy of their corrupt intellectual leadership.
It is now time for the Muslim Ummah to work for Islam as truly liberation to the humanity. This will be achieved by engaging into both intellectual and political struggle until we reestablish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Methodology of the Prophethood, a state that will hold into account all murderers and oppressors of humanity.
