The bombing of a hospital in Gaza where more than 500 people died instantly is one of the most barbaric acts the Israeli army has carried out in its ongoing war with Hamas in Palestine. That act among other havoc it has wrecked on the defenseless civilians, and the indiscriminate destruction of lives and properties is a proof of depravity and death of humanity. The dastardly act could only be committed by savages and brutes; not humans. This is unknown in the war convention and regulations.

In the current situation, Hamas could have provoked the onslaught of the Israeli government but what do you expect from the oppressed and repressed people if not anger and violence? It is common knowledge that the Jews in Israel have denied their neighbours and hosts their rights and oppressed them without any reasonable justification. Palestinian fighters are freedom fighters. They will triumph.

Israel has the power and technology but not civilisation. Their act in Gaza depicts people who lack modesty and emotional intelligence; they are cowards. Whoever among them who believes otherwise should prove it. Power in the hands of uncivilised people is like a machete in the hands of a madman. Civilised people demonstrate knowledge, discipline and respect for humanity and diversity. They respect others and honour their agreements. It is clear to the world that these people are not people anyone in his right senses should accommodate or tolerate. They are a people who believe only in themselves; treacherous and envious; selfish, aggressive and arrogant. But they are not all alike.

There are among them and among us here in Europe some of the finest Jews you can ever meet and relate with; faithful and truthful. Some of them have been speaking up and protesting — stating clearly that the Israeli government does not represent them. If these few ones are really decent, they should ensure that Netanyahu and his cohorts are removed from power and prevail on the United Nations to let Palestine have their autonomy and their state.

Joe Biden, the American president, is an accomplice in this outlandish atrocity for his overt and covert support for Israel. History will ever remember him and Netanyahu as child killers and murderer presidents of the 21st century. No responsible and civilised nation would associate with Israel given this deplorable disposition and her genocide. Association with Israel or dissociation shows where a country belongs. Countries which lack self-esteem will be afraid to stand for the truth.

America is a great nation of great people. The founding fathers were defenders of human rights. We still remember the birth of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was orchestrated by great American people. These were people who gave hope and pride to many. Civilisation to them was fairness, knowledge, unity in diversity, discipline and the fight for justice.

There still exist in the United States and the United Kingdom great people of learning, reason and discipline. The general American and European modern culture of a decline of family values, sexual pervasion and indecency do not feature them but their voices are low. Americans are too great to allow Biden to continue to rule over them. The atrocities of recent American leaders do not represent the leadership expected of the great American nation and people.

Obama destroyed Libya — a flourishing state of security and social justice. Bush destroyed Iraq under the pretence of toppling Saddam for possessing weapons of mass destruction. They all blatantly lied to the world.

America does not have the moral justification to claim leadership of the world given her notoriety and cruelty to nations she wants to control by force. No nation exists or exults forever. America was not like this: we and our resources as Americans are being used by some hidden hands to make the world insecure and create social imbalances and indecency. I just fear global terrorism is not awakened again.

Hamas has won. Israel has lost. It has created hate and resentment in the hearts of all people in the world towards her. The protests in all major capitals of the world are proof that Israel is loathed by all men of wisdom and decency.

Arabs are watching with dismay and rage. They will revenge in the not too far future. Their bravery is a sharp contrast to Jewish cowardice. But women, music, pomp and drugs had been used to dampen them. Gaza war has arisen and will unite them soon.

Israel has ignited the rage of all civilised people of the world. Welcome to the new world order.
