Not that the ICJ has any power to prosecute & enforce, but maybe something will come from this.
The ongoing tragedy in Gaza demands an immediate end, with the loss of innocent lives, particularly women and children, occurring at an alarming rate. On average, approximately 250 individuals are losing their lives daily. Shockingly, within just three months, the death toll has surpassed that of the entire two-year Ukraine conflict. While any form of war is deeply regrettable, the extent of the atrocities in Gaza is incomprehensible. While there's a prevalent disdain for Putin, the situation in Gaza raises questions about how such actions can be justified.
Reflecting on history, the Gulf War conflict resulted in the deaths of 200,000 – 300,000 people. Another huge miscarriage of justice, where it was proven that there was no weapons of mass destruction. Again MSM stirring our emotions as a justification for the war.
For those directly affected in Iraq, does this not lead to viewing the West as a source of terror?
It is crucial for us to awaken from the influence of media, which often manipulates our emotions to rationalize these actions. The persistence of war throughout centuries is disheartening; one would expect humanity to evolve beyond this perpetual cycle of eternal recurrence.
It's important to recognize that there are no purely good or evil sides, as both parties in conflicts harbour individuals with terrorist inclinations. It's not the common Israeli or palastinisn citizens to blame but rather the leaders who hold power in each country. Unfortunately, it's the ordinary people who bear the brunt of these decisions.
Addressing the issues at hand requires holding those in positions of privilege & power accountable, whether it's the leaders’ overseeing wars or those involved in scandals (like the post office scandal in the UK). The disparity between the actions of the elite during lockdown and the constraints imposed on the common people is deeply unsettling.
Man, O man and his super massive ego……and when I say man I mean the male sex, for centuries his ego has been nowt but a destructive force.
DISCLAIMER – This is purely my subjective emotional view, them that know me know I am a very emotional man, which at times gets the better of me. My observations of myself have shown me I can be wrong…….. i often am !
