The universal declaration of human
rights repeatedly stresses that all people around the world have the
right to live regardless of their race, language, and religion. But what
is happening in Gaza tells another story.
It tells the story of
powerful countries repeatedly playing on the notion of human rights to
serve their political and economic greed; ironically, these are the very
countries who violate what this notion stands for. Media coverage
attests to this since viewers watch as the death toll of children,
women, elderly people, and even the handicapped rises daily; civilians
killed in an unfair and unequal war with no action on behalf of those
who can stop it.
War on Gaza has become an international
matter. The world has witnessed countless demonstrations supporting the
Palestinians’ right for defense, denouncing Israeli terrorism, and
urging their government to take real and strong actions. This puts the
Israeli government in an embarrassing situation given the fact that even
non-Muslims are denouncing its disregard and contempt for human rights.
Arabs also have shown sympathy for and
solidarity with Palestinians and have expressed their anger by
protesting Israeli crimes and calling for an immediate ceasefire. They
have strongly criticized the siege of Gaza and demanded that it be
lifted to allow entrance of supplies to the injured.
The Israeli government’s response to the world’s worries was that “war on terrorism will not stop until terrorism has been uprooted.” This trick has been exploited by Israel to deceive its citizens, as well as the so-called international community.
