Blog: Israel Continues Killing Spree As World’s Leadership Looks Other Way (image@UNRWA)
What is the redline for the Zionist Israeli regime and its allies?
Don’t worry. It’s a rhetoric question. Those who expects an answer is delusional, I know. Just when you think that the situation in Middle East has hit the rock bottom, the Zionist settler colonialist forces and their Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – owing up to their reputation – showed they have more disappointments in store to serve.
When things already started to spill out of hands and everyone, including the mighty West, was scrambling to save their heads and get rid of the thumping headache in Middle East, Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas political leader, was assassinated.
Haniyeh was assassinated in capital city of Iran, Tehran. He visited the country for the inauguration of the newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian. It is a known secret that the attack was an Israeli handiwork. But, as usual, the Zionist government adopts a “no comment” policy at the moment.

Tel Aviv has violated every single international laws and rulings out there. It has deliberately, and most brutally targeted the Palestinian civilians. Despite the thundering repercussions on its reputation on global level, owed to its conduct of war in Gaza, Israel is continuing its killing spree. And the world leaders are suffering from severe contagious disease that has chronically affected their eyes, ears, and brain, if I may add.
Israel has bombed United Nations’ schools, and refugee camps. Hospitals, doctors and health workers are targeted, and destructed. Journalists are being shot down at rapid pace. No external media workers are allowed into Palestine. And those allowed are Israel’s cronies, who are not allowed to wander off without permission. And still they have the audacity to claim that they are reporting on the basis of their “extensive investigations”.
International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered a “historic” decision on Israel’s occupation on Palestinian territory recently in the case of Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. The apex court observed that Israel’s continued occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) is a violation of international law and that Israel must withdraw from the OPT as rapidly as possible.
And what?!!!
This is not the first time ICJ observed Israel to be violating international law. The recent verdict echoes ICJ’s decision taken in 2004 in the famous Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestine Territory (the Wall) case. The court had opined that Israel’s construction of a wall on Palestinian soil cutting through Palestinian communities violated international law.

Those who genuinely wanted to know about Palestine issue, and tried to educate themselves, will be furious to hear about the “wall” in Palestine. Despite the ruling from ICJ, Israel continued to restrict Palestinians of everything. Water, electricity, and other most basic commodities, required for human beings to survive, has been given to the Palestinian as the settler occupation wished.
Israel massacred thousands of Palestinians by pummeling UN shelters, where the innocent Palestinian citizens sought refuge, believing it to the be a safe place. Israel tricked the Palestinians by calling the places safe, and then brutally bombed the areas.
Decaying bodies, shattered body parts, smell of blood, and the sound of drone are the only constants in the tiny besieged land of Gaza. The Zionist regime committed massacres in broad daylight. Doctors and health workers, who are pushed beyond their capacity, described the attacks as a “complete bloodbath”, and the scenes inside the hospitals as a “complete slaughter house”.
If not by bombs, Palestinians are being killed by forced starvation. Israel has blocked everything, and children and adult alike are dying of hunger. The human beings in Gaza is reduced to the situation, where they are consuming animal feed, leaves, and grass to keep themselves alive.

And if not that, the Palestinians are awaiting death which is now coming as infectious diseases, due to the poor hygiene in the battle ground. People of Palestine has been living in congested tents for several months and were chased around like animals for the past 10 months by the Zionists occupation force.
Children in Gaza suffer dangerous skin diseases
As per AP report, more than 103,000 cases of lice, rashes and scabies and 65,000 cases of skin rashes have been reported in the strip, making the doctor’s job difficult to deal with the overwhelming number of patients. The lack of adequate sanitation and the summer heat are worsening the living condition of the miserable camps.
Israel also targets journalists, which is against the law. Come what may, journalists should not be attacked and should be allowed to report what is happening. More than 165 Palestinian journalists are killed by Israel since the beginning of the latest barbaric war in Gaza.
So, when it is as clear as day that Israel has transgressed all international and humanitarian laws, and the West is still concerned about “Israel’s right to defend itself”, what is the red line for Israel?

If anyone still dared to voice that it all started on October 7th, please do yourself – and everyone around you – a favour, and educate yourself. Look into what happened on 1948, 1967, 2004, 2006, 2014, 2022, and all the dates in between. No! actually, start from the early 1900s. It was never about October 7th.
Motaz Azaiza, the Palestinian photo journalist who rose to fame for his coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and played a key role in letting the outside world know what is actually happening in the Strip, has been in Gaza during the first 100 days of war. His camera captured most heinous crimes conducted by Israel, and is a direct victim of the genocidal war. And when he reached the UN headquarters in New York, to directly ask why there is a double standard against the Palestinians, he was said that the UN need “proof”. The highest organization which strive to “maintain international peace and security…better living standards and human rights”, told Azaiza that Israel is not “allowing” it to enter into Gaza to collect the “proof” themselves.

So my question is, what is the use of United Nations and International Courts, if they cannot serve what they stand for?
Israel has not only unveiled its own duplicitousness, but also took down the ostentatious fancy dress of its Western allies and the so-called international community who has been playing egalitarianism by preaching “Justice”.
