The Israeli government exhausts the patience of its western allies, and even part of the national opposition. However, he can inactive number on the full dedication of the United States – despite the tension between Jerusalem and Washington on Wednesday, June 4th, United States have exercised the right of veto, by voting against the UN safety Council Resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Among another things, it included a evidence of "the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and another groups", but that was not enough. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea described the resolution as "unacceptable" due to the fact that it "does not condemn Hamas, does not call him to lay down his arms and leave Gaza".
The resolution, proposed by Algeria and supported by Denmark, Greece, Guyana, Pakistan, Panama, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Somalia, provided not only for the cessation of fire, but besides for the immediate and unconditional abolition of the almost complete blockade of humanitarian aid which Israel has been maintaining for 3 months.
As a consequence of global pressures in cooperation with the US, Israel established the Gaza Humanitarian Aid Foundation (GHA), whose authoritative task is to aid the starving, and unofficially to make specified appearances that will let the genocide to continue. Ended up holding thousands of desperate people for hours in metallic cages, guarded by armed private American mercenaries, and shot respective twelve people by them. On Sunday, June 1 to the Red Cross Field infirmary in Rafah hit 179 wounded – men, women and children – and 21 killed. They were hit by bullets and shrapnel as they tried to get food at GHA distribution points.
It should be admitted that the United States and Israel are consistent on certain issues – in 2021 both countries were the only countries to vote against the project a UN commission that assumed that access to food was a human right.
Europe's consequence to Israeli Crimes They're so cold. – it is hard to specify otherwise the decision of the European Parliament to "review" the agreement with Israel ii whether it breaks "common values" or the Chancellor's declaration Germany, although Israel's actions "can no longer be explained by the fight against terrorism" and "have ceased to realize their meaning", does not intend to limit German arms supplies. However, if the Israeli government does not back down, continuing to block humanitarian aid and exterminate Palestinian enclaves, sooner or later the West will be forced to take more decisive steps – specified as to place the full genocidal state in the mediate East on the full responsibility, while at the same time diverting attention from the engagement of European countries, the US or Australia.
Voices of opposition
On 22 May, an Arab-origin MP Ayman Odeh of the opposition Arab-Jewish coalition Hadash-Ta’al expressed his opposition in Kneset to the killing of Palestinians and the statements of Israeli Parliament representatives specified as that “there is not a single innocent individual in Gaza”. Before was forcibly removed “ After a year and a half of the war in which you killed 19,000 children, 53,000 people in Gaza, you destroyed all the universities and hospitals, you cannot politically win. You feel it, that's why you're so crazy.”
Three months earlier, Odeh had exposed himself to attacks when, in his X entry, he expressed satisfaction with the release of parts of Palestinian prisoners and Israeli hostages – he was then accused of aligning terrorists with victims.
Wednesday 4 June 70 of 120 Kneset members signed a petition initiated by Avichai Boaron of Likudu Benjamin Netanjahu demanding that Odeh be removed from parliament. According to Boaron, it reflects this widespread outrage over organization divisions and the belief that the arabian MP’s statements are “an attack on Israel from within”.
Israel’s public opinion besides stirred The words of erstwhile Prime Minister Ehud Olmertwho accused the current government of committing war crimes and Benjamin Netanyahu of leading a "criminal group". The biggest surprise, however, was the speech of Yair Golan, a reserve division general in the Israel Defence Forces and leader of the Democratic Party, who in an interview with state tv Kan stated that Israel is on the way to becoming an global pariah and that "a conscious state does not engage in fighting against civilians, does not kill children as a hobby and does not choose to drive out the full population." Netanjah condemned these accusations and reminded Golan that we were talking about "hero soldiers of the most ethical army on the world", accusing him of playing anti-Semitic films.
After a wave of criticism from politicians, journalists and society that fell on him, Golan began to wriggle in translations that he had no pretense for the army, but only for the government, and he does not claim that the government kills for fun, but only fears that the ruling extremists are striving to do so. Earlier, in April 2024, in public expressed doubts As to whether Israel is inactive a democratic state and argued that Netanyahu deliberately prolongs the conflict to stay in power.
Earlier, after the Israeli invasion began in October 2023, Golan was known to the Western public for his words to the Palestinians: "Until the hostages are released, we don't care if you die of starvation – that's entirely justified." He now argues that “what was right was not right after 20 months of war.”
Most behind the Purge
Golan says what the West wants to hear, but his fellow citizens do not necessarily agree with him. Come on. over 75% of Israelis agrees that Netanjahu must be held liable for allowing Hamas' assassination on October 7 to resign, Empathy towards Palestinian civilians are politically risky in Israel. Mass protests focus on the recovery of Israeli hostages, which, as the majority of the population believes, Netanyahu sacrificed on the altar of his own political ambitions. There is besides opposition to the killing of Palestinians, especially children, – mainly in Tel Aviv – but it is inactive a number position in Israel.
A March survey at Pennsylvania State University commissioned by the Israeli company Geocartography cognition Group indicates, that the vast majority of judaic Israelis support the plan to carry out cultural cleansing, that is, to expel the full Palestinian population from Gaza and the West Bank (82%), and 56% would besides like to free Palestinians surviving in Israel and its citizens. 65% believe that Palestinians are the modern embodiment of the Amalekites, the Biblical enemy of the Israelites, whom God commanded them to destroy, without sparing anyone, even children.
On the question of whether they agree with the position that the IDF “when acquiring an enemy city should act in a manner akin to that in which the Israelites acted during the capture of Jericho under Joshua, namely, killing all its inhabitants,” nearly half replied yes.
The poll results shocked Western media and public opinion, with the exception of those who had been observing how they were doing for a decade Violence of Israeli Society. In the magazine ‘Haaretz’ Dahlia Scheindlin emphasisesThat extremists are not outsiders in Israel: “In 2014, erstwhile Jews kidnapped and burned Mohammed Abu Khdeira, a Palestinian teenager from East Jerusalem, many Israelis were shocked and felt shame. The following year, judaic Israelis set fire to a home in the Palestinian village of Duma, killing their father, mother, and sleeping child. Another kid who survived was badly burned. Then fewer were surprised.”
Crime partners
If, as Yair Golan said, Israel becomes an global pariah—and there is no indication that the present government of Netanyahu is going to deviate from the chosen path—this will be like a situation where the rapist is yet brought to justice, and his colleagues who have put drugs in the victim's drink, pushed her into a dark street, stood on chat rooms and aired the music from the phones, now play the function of judges. For years, they mocked her testimony, portrayed her as a hysteric, atheist, and liar. They covered the tracks, whitewashed the unsub, financed his defence – and erstwhile the case began to fall apart, due to the fact that his pal continued to rape, and it was in public places, which they recorded hundreds of cameras and described the media throughout the globe, they twisted with disapproval their heads and issued a conviction, babbling about their attachment to feminist values.
Israel's settlement, if it does, will not be a consequence of moral awakening, but a maneuver to convince the public that they were named and justice was done. The work of the West will be diluted in the language of diplomacy, parliamentary committees and expert consultations.
We will shortly forget that it was the USA and Germany, and to a lesser degree another European countries, that supplied Israel with rockets that fell on Palestinian schools, hospitals and exile camps. That it was the British technology companies that developed control and surveillance systems in Gaza, and the arms manufacture lobbyists in Washington for years blocked all effort at global surveillance. That the genocidal run of Israel would not be possible without American F-35, Swiss PC-7 and PC-21, German corvettes, French electrooptic systems, Italian drone parts or Canadian laser sights.
How many civilians, how many Palestinian children inactive gotta die between another press conference and a vote at the UN before Israel's most devoted allies in the West recognise that the image cost is besides advanced for them?
