« Genocide cannot be hidden »: The Guardian Column Proposes Necessary Actions against Israel – World

The expressed change in tone over the past week by the leaders in the United Kingdom and the EU is a clear stop with empty phrases about « concerns » and reps that Israel has the right to self-defense, Nessau Malik writes Guardian.

Now, she is noticed, used by rhetoric that Israeli shares are « morally unjustified » and « completely disproportionate », and the threats of their leaders « disgusting ».

The part of this is, indicates Malik, an attempt to protect in the future. The war took the form of genocide and ethnic cleansing in ways that are increasingly obvious, indefensible and impossible to hide.

Some managed to blur for a year and a half, but now they could no longer stand by the speaker or to sit for dinner, there is actually an argument for killing 100 people a day, which was the case last week.

Or that Israel has any plan except what his leaders consistently declare and that is a plan on displacement and settlement.

The argument to work exclusively on the destruction of Hamas has long dropped into water. Israel, as a British media ally complained, left his friends in the cedilla.

There is still the difference between condemnation and wrath and what happens in the field. When it comes to Israel, the international censorship lever are broken.

During the war, international organizations, humanitarian missions and courts were helpless due to their inability to implement their findings. The words themselves mean nothing. They simply refuse from the Israeli iron domestic impunity.

Every day, the world awaits and faces an Israeli guidance that violates every law of morality and logic. The victims are aggressors, humanitarians are biased, the army that kills unarmed medics is the most moral army in the world. Up is down.

The recent change in the language of Israeli international allies is exceptional. But it would be dangerous to overestimate its significance.

Israeli authorities not only do not care, but draw strength from condemnation. All this serves to prove that the state is on its own and must be persevered because, as always, incomprehensible, discriminated against, surrounded by enemies.

The change feels like a breakthrough only compared to what was before. It has been an act of calling what happens in Gaza with its name was faked, even criminalized.

In custody sit people for charges because they described the reality as it is. If nothing else, in the past year, there was a series of penetrations that mean nothing – historical protests, a visible change in global public opinion, the struggle of Western political, legal and academic institutions around the rights against the protest against the genocide that takes place.

Palestine, the once marginal question, became the main question that lies in the heart of Western policy and discourse. Still, as long as the governments who had an impact on Israel refused to act, none of that saved any life.

However, at this point there is still something that could be extended into something meaningful. Politics strives for inertia – respect for the Alliance and the status of the KVO.

In order to reverse, it takes a real crisis, and Israel managed to raise his campaign in Gaza to a level that even that high threshold overcomes.

Stand by side until the population is starving, watch the lives disappear in front of their eyes, watch the ribs and the inflammation of the eye of the lethargic children – it leaves governments marked by the seal of complicity.

Take off food, have so much power over them, is not a military campaign with strategic goals and inevitable collateral victims – it is the creation of ghetto collective penalty.

One of the key chapters of history is written. The sponsors of this act are clearly recognizable, unequivocally supportors, and yet they are now struggling at the position in which they found themselves. The duration also has a role. All this lasts too long and has become clear that it is impossible to force the world to get used to mass murders.

But maybe it is up to this special phase of the Israeli campaign, which is drastically more brute and naked in its intentions than ever before.

If this new attitude of Western leaders is designed to delay confrontation, then it is too late and insufficient: records have already been saved.

If their goal is to distract Israel from implementing the living conditions, forcing people to leave and starve and kill those who remain – then they try to stop the rampart machine using a little more than the press release.

The gap between Israeli procedures and the reactions of the world remains too large to be considered proportionate.

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, but insulted France, Great Britain, accusing their governments just because they finally uttered the obvious: that Israel should stop killing and starving people.

In which world member, the government states that it wakes out what remains from a territory and that, « with God’s help, » exhilaration of her residents – and the answer to that are only unspecified threats « concrete measures »?

What kind of deterrence is needed to prevent the doctor from going to work, then returned to the pierdent where in one hits were killed nine of ten of her children?

It will take far more than just review and suspend future trading negotiations between Israel and the United Kingdom. Censorship mechanisms that signal dissatisfaction and aims to encourage offenders to return to the framework of acceptable behavior – these mechanisms are demolished by Israel that turned its own insulation in virtue.

The type of needed actions would require the breaking of deeply rooted fears and assumptions. First, now funny belief that Israel is a stabilizing ally in the enemy region, that it is a country that divides civilized western values ​​and should be supported.

Then, fear of the schism with Israel who could violate security agreements and historical synergies – although Israel had already caused such a rift. He reversed regional and global political and moral agreements, and his allies still did not understand the proportions of that turn.

Once these truths are accepted, a set of tools, which is so easy to use to sanction other countries, is there to be mobilized.

The United States remains a party with the greatest influence, but not the only player. The EU accounts for about a third of the total global trade of Israel: should be sought by the embargo. Sanctions should be introduced, not only to the settlers, but also to politicians in the Government of Israel.

The decisions of the International Criminal Court on Israeli leadership should be respected. Blockada should be carried out – that in practice means the establishment of the Status of Pario, which the Israeli government has long deserved.

And even then, it would be just the beginning and that tragically, the colossaly late start. We can analyze why none of this has happened so far as an ally to keep some kind of influence, fearing to encourage Iran, the loyalty of the idea of ​​historical debt, fear of an uncertain world that breaking with Israel could bring.

But that world has already arrived. The cowardice didn’t stop him just accelerated.

Palestinians, from the Gaza to the west coast, pay the highest price due to the notion. But the rest of the world suffers an acute wound. If nothing is taken, moral and political rot will swallow everything, concludes Malik.
