Dead starving children shatter morbidly thin narratives

The Western political class will never recover from the reputational damage they have suffered propping up Israels genocide.

The images that gave been coming out of Gaza for over 650 days straight have changed anyone who has dared to hold their gaze at the horror. The most unconscionable acts of endless cruelty and death have been held in the palms of peoples devices, beaming out Israel’s unreasonable and senseless genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza for all the world to see. We have seen children cut in half and nailed to walls, we have seen pregnant women shot dead, children sniped and drone striked, the elderly run over by militarised bulldozers with European made Volvo engines.

Global supply chains ran out of the West, coordinated by its imperial master in Washington, run combined efforts to replenish the Israeli war machine. There have been dogs getting fat on corpses, and military industrialists getting fat on money from families being brutally bombed cowering in tents from planes that may be equipped with Australian made parts, killed by a brutal military our government still engages with, authorised by a government our leaders call ‘friends’. All the broken lives and crushed bones and terrorised innocents, and the new definitions of cruelty we all have to define to try to understand Israel’s enigmatic hatred. And each time its hard to imagine how it can get any worse, then it does.

In between the usual mass destruction of Palestinians using guns, bombs and drones, the last weeks have been filled with apocalyptic footage of machine-gun fire flying over the heads of thousands of civilians piling over each other in IDF engineered no-mans-land under the guise of whats called Gaza Humanitarian Fund aid checkpoints, where humanity is stripped and innocents are randomly shot for no apparent reason at all other than what now can only look to be an attempt to thin out the human population of Gaza. There is a level of desperation that motivates those who dare to cram between the bottleneck deathtraps-something than is worse than bullets--and that is starvation. There is a level of depravity in those that impose such a system on such a broken people, something than is worse than hatred.

Even before Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong cut UNRWA funding along with the Anglosphere and a small handful of countries, and ABC journalist Antoinette Lattouf was sacked for sharing a tweet about hunger being used as a weapon of war, dire alarm bells were ringing about the level of starvation and malnutrition in the population of Gaza, which has been under a total siege for nearly two years. The crisis point of these warnings has hit a catastrophic level, and when you think that the images couldn’t get any worse, there are now streams of young and old, infants and grandparents, young adults in the prime of their lives, dropping dead in their hundreds from starvation every week.

At this point, the genocide is undeniable, with the technology broadcasting it, unavoidable, even to the most subjectively inclined. With all the excuses Israel have put up for reasons to continue its daily massacre: that Hamas uses human shields, that the people of Gaza are legitimate collateral damage in the IDF’s quest to eliminate their enemy – it is the heartbreaking images of paper thin malnourished children limp in their gaunt mothers hopeless arms, or scenes of elderly men dying on their feet from starvation at the notorious aid checkpoints, that destroy these morbid calculations from Israel. It is now impossible to argue that starving children to death is a way of defeating Hamas, just as it was for any of the other brutal tactics it has employed on the civilians of Gaza since it began its campaign of ultra-violence in response to a day of terror in October 2023.

There are music festivals flying Palestinian flags, hundreds of thousands around the world attending weekly protests, flotillas and overland human trains of people trying to deliver aid to Gaza, even people that have set themselves on fire in protest, the world is straining for the people of Gaza, attempting desperate actions in a biologically motivated attempt to purge the act of genocide that runs counter-intuitive to the survival of humanity. There are doctors, NGO’s, UN organisations, International courts, and the majority of populations across the world collectively screaming out for this to end. The mass death from hunger is totally intolerable, and politically inexcusable, and the silence from leaders around the world, criminal.

Only a thin group of massaged, recommended, ensconced, captured, and morally corrupt leaders hold this travesty together. Those who inhabit major political parties in the ‘civilised’ West, and run governments that someway assist Israel’s genocidal status quo to continue with diplomatic, economic, or military support, are finding it increasingly impossible to conjure corners of the lexicon to swing over the daggers of truth below them. Over the months that have seen like generations, our leaders, some who have taken expense paid trips to Israel, have used words to squirm between the macabre cogs of Israels’s war in the Middle East.

The moral decrepitude during this genocide has been constant in the captured politician in the West, but the conveyor of limp and lifeless kids dying from the evil act of depriving caloric intake, is tearing their paper thin narrative and the democracies they commandeer along with it. Kier Starmer wrote a letter condemning Israel, without pausing the lethal weapons it provides to Israel, then he dispatched a spy plane to fly over Gaza, like he does nearly every day, to provide intelligence data to the Israeli massacre. His government feigns concern like many other in the Anglosphere, but arrests elderly doctors who demand action in their democracy.

The German Chancellor, whose government also provides high-tech German made lethal aid, lives in a country frozen in a Hegelian struggle within itself, struggling in its own master slave dialectic. As the country that was the biggest perpetrator of organised genocide in the 20^th century, it is fully supporting the biggest perpetrator of organised genocide the 21^st century, then saying that those committing the 21^st century genocide are immune to prosecution, because they suffered under the 20^th century genocide they committed.

The G7 nations, the unelected European Commissioner Ursula Von Der Leyen, and the NATO countries have all done their bit to supply, protect, cover, or deflect for Israels human bonfire holocaust in Gaza, and they do so at the behest of the prime enabler, the United States. The words of bipartisan White House’s have been morbidly disconnected, and frustratingly disingenuous, and from the senile ramblings of Joe Biden to the insane, and from the Republican warmongers like Lindsay Graham, to the crypto-establishment leftwing Democrat populists like AOC, ensure the weapons still flow uninterrupted to feed the massacres around Israel.

French President Emmanuel Macron, wrote a letter recognising the State of Palestine, joining a growing majority of nations, including a western bloc, who are putting actions into place to work towards stopping the killing in Gaza by the rogue state of Israel. But the day after his Foreign Minister censured a Greens senator for holding up a sign to raise awareness to the tragedy in Gaza, regardless that his government had suspended UNRWA aid, while it continues to provide military components to Israel, openly gives Tel Aviv diplomatic and trade normalcy, and despite the botched the appointment of an antisemitism envoy that was trying to change laws altering the fabric of our society, Anthony Albanese posted another variation of paper thin words, another combination of cowardice.

What we are seeing coming out of Gaza is a bleak vision that humanity may never recover from. In the West, all the old political calculations, conventions, appeasements, considerations, horse trades and compromises that dominate the shark-like minds of the corporate sociopaths we elect, do not compute when applied against the macabre circuitry Netanyahu’s Israel is soldering onto the spirit of our species. The modern political class are applying the same guidebook they apply to any generic political crisis to the mass starvation death of children in Gaza, revealing a callous reactive heartlessness that shocks all those who notice, defined by a laziness, ideological and moral apathy, and a lack of courage. An increasingly ugly and unforgivable position to take while the broken babies of Gaza die daily in their dozens from hunger.

The Western political class will never recover from the reputational damage they have suffered propping up Israels genocide at the expense of their political viability and the cohesion of their country, including the major parties in Canberra. As the tide of public opinion continues to swell against Israel, and the legacy media slowly and reluctantly begins telling more about the horrors of this war due to its unavoidablity, there will be no one left but the captured politicians in places like Washington, London, Berlin and Canberra that remain to run protection (overt or covert) for Netanyahus hellish vision for the Middle East- putting them at deep odds with the sentiment and wishes of the people in the democracies they have the privilege to represent. Something they should be more concerned about.
