TEHRAN - Certain Western countries, particularly the United States, have been enabling Israel to go ahead with its vicious and brutal plans against Palestinians.

The enablers of the Israeli criminals and the West have so far escaped accountability due to the flawed international system.

Israel’s insane comprehensive war against the Gazans that started after the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, is a great shock to the international community. The people in the 21st century cannot comprehend so much brutality against a nation.

So much violence against civilians can only be committed by the cruelest terrorist groups such as Daesh. 

It is surprising that how can a country that is accepted as a member of the United Nations commit this degree of crime against civilians of another nation?

Reportedly, even al-Qaeda, which was considered the most violent group before the emergence of Daesh, was critical of Daesh for its indiscriminate killing of people. However, Israel slaughters civilians while they are asleep and cuts water and food to them.

It was argued that terrorist groups are driven by distorted ideology but what about Israel which claims its ruling system is secular and democratic?

The people usually talk fervently about World War II and the crimes committed by the Adolf Hitler of Germany.

However, the crimes that Hitler committed pale in comparison to the brutality being committed against 2.3 million Gazans in just 365 square kilometers. Wherever they flee or hide Israel tracks them down to exterminate them.

In terms of time, geography, and population, the scope of violence that Gazans have been subjected to may be unprecedented in living memory. 

According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip since last October, far surpassing those dropped on Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II.

The question is how much crime can a country do against civilians of another, and which countries have been enabling Israel to commit such horrific crimes?

The West has spared no effort to enable criminals in Israel to steal Palestinian lands and commit one crime after another. It has both provided weapons and diplomatic protection for Israel.

Jan Eliasson, the UN Special Envoy for Darfur, had noted, "The quest for peace will always be obstructed when there is an abundance of arms."

Regrettably, the West’s support for Israel has lacked the slightest shred of ethics.
