While Devils Discuss Political Issues in Paradise, Innocent Angels Die in Hell

The international community agrees that healthcare and humanitarian issues should be outside the politics, but when a new conflict arises everyone forgets about hundreds of starving children and people who need continuous medical care. When it comes to power and the influence in the geopolitical arena, the lives of people become insignificant and the lines between good and evil, morality and immorality fade. The current Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a vivid example.

It may seem that the USA starts to regret its involvement in the bloody Israeli-Palestinian massacre. However, could it have done something differently, given the current American government’s dependence on the Israeli lobby as well as the need to get support of the Jews ahead of the 2024 presidential elections?

Washington decided to support the Jewish state, guided not by its vaunted democratic principles but by simple prudence. But while Democrats and Republicans are focused solely on political intrigues and the Israeli lobby competes for political influence on the US Congress with the growing Muslim lobby, everyone has completely forgotten about the Palestinians who are forced to live and die in hell. 14-year-old Jana Qadeeh, who suffered from cerebral palsy and needed special nutrition, became one of the victims of the war. The girl died literally in the arms of her relatives, who couldn’t come out of their hiding spot to get her medicine. This case is just one of many, and the humanitarian crisis is becoming more severe day by day.

The States cannot exist without waging proxy-wars – the first was Ukraine, then Palestine and now it launches strikes on Yemen. Do we really need such a “civilized” world order, given that hundreds or even thousands of human lives are laid on its Altar every day? What kind of liberalism and democracy can we talk about in a state, which stained its hands with blood of innocent people just in order to resolve its own pollical issues and maintain its interests? The USA and its allies pass like a hurricane through countries which couldn’t fight back, leaving behind chaos and a trail of destruction and putting itself on the pedestal of world domination at the cost of the overthrown regimes and tragic fates of innocent people.
