STOP THE HYPOCRISY — STOP ISRAEL’S SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT.

(Prompted by my own feelings of horror and an article on Pearls and Irritations: https://johnmenadue.com/the-west-believe-antisemitism-is-a-more-egregious-problem-than-genocide/ )

It is appalling that politicians and others of so many nations, almost inevitably of the ‘West’, have done so little to halt Netanyahu and the Israeli War Cabinet from pursuing its murder of innocent civilians, including around 15,000 children, as part of its supposedly ‘targeted’ campaign against Hamas.

Making matters even worse is that several western nations which are supposed bastions of democracy and human rights, have supplied money and/or weapons and munitions to Israel.

In addition and of supreme hypocrisy and complicity, has been and remains the failure of these nations to even speak openly and honestly about Netanyahu and Israel’s actions, even when they are plain to see and there is there is massive and clear evidence of Israel’s crimes against humanity which is undeniable. The majority of the media and of public commentary has, similarly, been relatively opaque about Israeli brutality, destruction of hospitals, schools, universities, homes and public infrastructure which, if such was happening to people in almost any other place would be reported with sensational outrage.
