War crimes in Gaza: Silence of West and its media
Day after day, Israel commits unspeakable atrocities against Palestinians. These atrocities have been well documented by Al Jazeera, the only TV station impartially covering the war on Gaza. It is convenient for the biased Western media to pretend that this entire conflict was instigated by the “militant group”, Hamas on 07 October 2023. This is completely misleading!
It has been extensively documented that the Palestinians have been living since 1948, in an open- air prison under extreme Israeli oppression. Further, war crimes are perpetrated daily by Israeli settlers, occupying land illegally, and now expanding with impunity.
When Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres pointed out Israeli atrocities, he was attacked by the West and its online trolls. In recent months, Israeli forces committed many war crimes. They also targeted of health workers, doctors and hospitals.
Recent reports by the Amnesty International and neutral groups have indicated that Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children.
They attack residential buildings and schools every day, as documented by Al Jazeera TV. These are war crimes. This injustice demonstrates the extent to which the Western puppet governments and their media are controlled by the US-based Israeli lobby.
