Israel, the US, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Italy… and all of Europe against Gaza: what is this a war of?

Gaza is a tiny strip of land. A people of 2.1 million who have been living under siege for 17 years in every kind of deprivation. In return, for 18 days Israel has been attacking, recognising no rule, committing every kind of crime against humanity, with all its might but in fury. We would say that fury has blinded Israel, that it has reached the point of not knowing what it is doing, but in that case many of the things it does become understandable. Yet since everyone knows that one who rises in anger sits down in loss, should not its friends try to calm it down a little in such situations?

But far from calming it, its friends enter a race to encourage everything it does in fury and to support it in the crimes against humanity it commits. First US President Biden, then Britain, then France, Germany, Italy and other European heads of state raced to visit the Israel that has gone mad with fury and declare their support.

We said before: this scene is a sign not of Israel's power or its mastery of the situation but of its sinking. A sinking of such a kind that it drags down with it everyone who supports it. In two weeks Europe has buried in the tiny strip of Gaza everything it has claimed for the past two centuries. In as asymmetrical a balance of power as possible, what kind of help does Israel need that they rush to its aid? Raining bombs on the defenceless city of Gaza, on civilians, is not something Israel has any difficulty with. Having left humanity is enough. With every bombardment dozens of children, women and civilians die. Hospitals, schools, marketplaces are bombed. The most savage, inhuman and base crimes against humanity ever recorded by history are being committed, and the US and Europe, who are in a position to say stop to this, do not even remain spectators to what is happening; they help the criminal and support him.

A country can agree to such complicity only under coercion, perhaps blackmail. There is no one who does not know that Germany has been hostage to this blackmail since the Second World War. Today Germany is in no position to raise its voice against Israel even in the face of the clearest crime against humanity. But what is happening to the other countries? What kind of blackmail are they subjected to that they agree to be partners in such a great crime?

We also know that Britain, as the country that inflicted Zionism as a scourge on the world, still has a deep account with Israel. But what of France? Italy? Canada? For the world's largest and most powerful countries to ally in such a treacherous aggression, trampling human values underfoot, in order to destroy a tiny people, will be enough shame and disgrace for them for seven generations. This is Western civilisation. Let this disgraceful scene be put before those who admire it, before the Muslim modernists who, with this admiration, bend and twist even their own books.

But this disgusting scene, this disgraceful alliance over crimes against humanity, also sounds the alarm bell of an awakening that is destined to begin in the world from now on. The brave sons of Gaza, like Davids, lodged their stones right in the middle of Goliath's eye. It was not only Israel that they drove mad and whose weaknesses and true face they exposed. Together with it, they also lowered the masks of those who protect it and back it. Therefore it has become destined that 7 October be the epoch of the founding of a new world. Perhaps there will be suffering, and Western civilisation, gone mad with fury and no longer recognising any rule, will pour out all its weapons technologies and munitions until it has taken its grudge out on the innocent. But in every case it will not be spared from seeing the resistance of those brave Gazan children who do not surrender to all its weapons and aggression: We will die, we will become martyrs, we are not afraid of this, those after us will come, they too will become martyrs, the place we are going to is paradise. We will never surrender and we will not leave this homeland of ours.

Against this spirit of resistance, what can Israel, its America, its Britain, its France, its Italy, its whatever scourge, do? Nothing except to display their own disgraces.

The resistance spirit of Omar Mukhtar is now showing itself in Gaza. That magnificent answer he gave to the Italian officer who asked him: "In this state you resisted us for 20 years; were you thinking of winning?": "I was fighting for my faith and that was enough for me; the rest was in God's hands... We never surrender. Either we win or we die. You will have to fight the generations after us too. As for me, I will outlive my executioners."

According to a survey conducted by Gallup in the US last March, Democrats' sympathy for the Palestinians is on an upward trend, and a larger percentage of this party now sympathises more with the Palestinians than the Israelis. In numerical terms, sympathy for the Palestinians is 49% while sympathy for Israel is now down to 38%, that is, the gap has widened to -11 against Israel. This survey was also conducted comparatively among Generations X, Y and Z. A similar trend is seen in all generations, but antipathy toward Israel rises further especially within the generation called Z. In the face of the latest Israeli aggression this tendency is expected to deepen further in the same direction. In fact this situation is also an expression of the growing discomfort with the foreign policy of the US, which has long since become virtually hostage to Israel.

The support their own states give to Israel's genocidal aggression, which befits neither humanity, nor manliness, nor law, nor the character of a state, is not easily acceptable to the peoples either. Israel in this event is not a victim, not oppressed, not weak, yet the unconditional support European leaders give to an aggression it has disproportionately taken to the level of genocide creates a situation with no rationality whatsoever.

The rupture caused by this irrational attitude is clearly visible in the US. In Europe we shall see what it will lead to. For now we have no data other than the wide participation in demonstrations of support for Palestine held in some countries.

But it is now plain as day that this support, whose meaning cannot be found at the rational level, finds its real meaning at the level of religion and belief.

Because we expected the West, which for years sold the world secularity and laicism, to obey the rule it set itself, we are having difficulty making sense of the latest situation, but what really needs to be seen is precisely that Europe and the US have become, behind Israel, the most bigoted militants of the most bigoted Shariah-ism.
