Israel claims it’s “Only after Hamas”. They don’t even measure their success or failure on the number of “Hamas killed”. If this war was numbers it would be judged a total failure. A failure because the world is witness to the numbers of innocents killed 2300 children, 5,800, and over 15,000 injured and more about to needlessly die in need of aid. Israel’s gesture to allow a few trucks in for 2.3M people is seen as little more than a callous PR exercise. If the world volunteered to take all the Palestinians and forego their homelands would Israel stop their genocidal carnage? With or without them Hamas would still exist as would the majority of the world’s Jews not wanting to live there.

Gantz, Cohen and Netanyahu yelling to rid the UN of Secretary Guterres shows they know they are losing this war in the eyes of the rest of the world. Might isn’t always Right. It no longer  matters how wrong Hamas was Israel’s reaction has been worse. It isn’t a role model for doing things right.

If someone in a next-door family stabbed my brother because he felt hard done by. My family wouldn’t have the “right” to destroy his. Mine are obliged to step back and give some thought not just react by throwing a grenade killing a whole family and saying, ” Oops they just got in the way  I was only after your son” 35 UN Peace Keepers were killed by Israel not by Hamas….Oops, they just didn’t in the way!

In a world where oil is increasingly unneeded and requires a united focus on Climate Change will the US and West continue to  speak up for Israel or correct for the planet’s survival rather than their immediate geopolitical interests? A revolutionary shift in attention is needed a united shift of goalposts to Human Rights rather than allowing billionaires and Trillion dollar multinational corporations to determine divisive shareholder interests for profit.

Nearly 5,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since 7 October, according to the health ministry, including 2,360 children. Hundreds of people remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
