As soon as colonization takes hold of a territory, the occupying powers aim to annihilate any pretense of resistance by attacking the demographic and sociological foundations of the conquered populations. The aggression begins with perpetrating genocides to exterminate the local population and pave the way for settlers, as is currently the case in Palestine. Means of subsistence are disrupted, and worship is not spared, undermining the spiritual foundations of society and erasing from memory any aspiration to access the history of the conquered country. In short, a veritable social earthquake.
All these massacres are constantly denounced by international organizations, though, for now, the effectiveness of this often verbal approach has no more impact than a bandage on a wooden leg. For the time being, the indescribable horror of the assassinations is limited to tallying the number of deaths that add to a long and painful martyrology, set against the backdrop of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
After the breakdown of the ceasefire agreement, the foundations for achieving peace are difficult to rebuild. Diplomats must check their watches. Prolonging the aggression results in human losses every day, and the demographic balance is thus completely transformed, undermining the very foundations of the Palestinian state from within. Yet the aggression is very real and primarily targets children and women, thereby orchestrating a weakening of the population. All this under the pretext of confronting fighters labeled as terrorists. These methods are accompanied by a continuous blockade by the Zionist entity on aid to the Palestinian enclave, with disastrous humanitarian consequences. The result: a rise in mortality. These are events the world watches powerlessly, when it even deigns to address a situation disgracefully entangled by Zionist propaganda and its media affiliates.
What remains, then, of the prestige of major international organizations that merely note that the population is subjected to grave dangers due to the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip? A few tattered remnants that fail to mask the glaring failure to uphold the elementary respect for human rights and, by extension, the failure of humanity in its Western dimension.
