A Genocide on Our TV Screens in the 21st Century
πΊπΈ πͺπΊ π¬π§ π―π΅ π¦πΊ π¨π¦ π°π· The US, EU, UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, and South Korea all support Israel. For the first time in history, nations support carpet bombing of one country over another at the expense of a few.
Japan recently commemorated the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings by the US; in the proceeding, the perpetrator, the USA, was not mentioned; instead, Russia was. Gaza has been bombed more than Japan was during the entirety of the Second World War on average.
South Korea, a country still fighting for reparation from Japan’s invasion and occupation, is shocking to find that it now stays silent about the genocide being committed in Gaza at the request of the most monster state in the world, the USA.
Canada’s Prime Minister, who will take every opportunity to promote LGBTQ around the world, has categorically gone silent. He now supports Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza.
The UK, the one country or set of countries that should never say anything for its evil inflicted throughout the world, also supports the Israeli carpet bombing of Gaza. The British government never carpet bombed IRA terrorists, but it now justifies Israel’s carpet bombing of Gaza on Hamas’ attacks.
Australia, a country that only changed its racial laws in the 70s, a country known for extremity, will not disappoint its big daddy in the US.
The EU is a collection of sometimes insignificant to sometimes significant countries like Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, to insignificant ones like Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Etc. They have collectively gone silent. These countries shared crocodile tears for Ukraine; of course, White people matter more. When it comes to brown Gazans, they could not care less.
Israel is smaller than Kogi state in Nigeria, with about 10 million people. Its arrogance comes from the US’s relentless support of the country. It will disappear without the US and, to some extent, the West. The Nazi genocide of Jewish people during the Second World War imposed on the West, and Europe in particular, a never-ending debt. They supported the creation of the Jewish state as a debt owed to the Jews against the Second World War. Palestinian land became Jewish land.
For the first time in human history, a genocide is televised. Just 40 days ago, none would have imagined that in the era of social media and advancement in technology with the news coverage ubiquitously saturated, a genocide would be impossible. You thought wrong. As long as the West controls the narrative, everything is possible.
