The depraved inhumanity meted out to Israeli females
Dear Editor,
According to The Associated Press, “Hamas gunmen attacked a music festival, killing at least 260 people and abducting others.” CNN headline on October 10th read...’’Israel festival revelers shot at point-blank range, video shows.” Some of the world looked on in shock at scenes of this massacre on a group of young people, who were in the desert to celebrate music. The young lady who once lived in the U.S. and her Mexican born boyfriend is said to have been there to protest against “war” and got as reward at the hands of the very people she was protesting for… Did the marauding rapists care who she was or supporting as they raped her, paraded her nude corpse then beheaded her already dead body? And some are celebrating the depraved inhumanity meted out to innocent Jewish females and kids and are proud to show their support to the perpetrators and I am so ashamed as a female to see that many of them are ladies.
They scream their support from the safety of the West and further attack Jews in the supposedly safety of the West, have they lost their humanity, I wonder? While in Guyana, the politicians especially... seem to have gone blind/ did not see/ chose to ignore the atrocities done to these innocent females; for all they seem concerned with is one set of people as the ‘goat bite man’ puts it: “the Palestinian people have a general expectation to be treated fairly; they are inclined to reasonableness.” How fair and reasonable were those demons who did as Peter Singer described in his article in Project Syndicate (carried in the S.N. last week) which was the only article that I have seen in the Guyana newspapers, ‘’Evil is a word I rarely use, but what I saw was evil in its purest form: men armed with assault rifles going house to house to shoot defenseless and terrified families in their simple kibbutz homes, recording their murders and shouting ‘God is Great.’”
They killed a father in front of his two young children. They cut off the head of one of their victims, saying they will give it to the crowd to play with. We see panicked young people at a music festival shot dead as they try to hide or flee. Singer omitted the accounts that stated that young women were raped and while they were being ravaged, their heads were lobbed off, or shot dead and that others had nails hammered about their bodies. My eyes cannot ‘unsee’ the haunting eyes of Mia Shem as she talked about her ordeal after she was released and the photo of the lifeless nude body of Shani Louk who was
Dear Editor,
It is just over one hundred days since the Middle East once more erupted into violence. This time however it was different in many ways while remaining the same for Palestinians over the last seventy-five years. Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, Palestinians were evicted from their homes and their lands. What is taking place in Gaza today is a continuation of that tragedy. At the time of writing almost 25,000 Gazians have been killed, some 10,000 still missing, presumed dead. Almost half of the dead and wounded are children, infants. Mostly women make up the rest of the dead.
The terrible sufferings have torn the mask from the faces of those who talk about “Democracy, Human Rights, Rule of Law” and other exalted slogans. The West, the United States, The United Kingdom, Canada, Germany among others have lost all sense of morality and stand condemned in the court of the world’s public opinion. Those countries are supporting Israel with weapons, intelligence, money and diplomacy. This would shock many who used to see those societies as the ultimate in freedom and democracy. However, they should not have been surprised. Those countries have not overcome their own histories. Their racist past is alive and well in the mentality of the ruling classes. Their history of slavery, lynching and genocide of native population still dominate the attitude and influence their actions of those in the US paraded in the back of a truck with the dirty feet of her killers on her (as if that was not enough, they beheaded her already dead body).
What has gone wrong with these poor excuses of humans that makes them act like this with females, one wonders? Can anyone in support of them, who have selectively chosen to ignore this level of demonic depravity, explain how they can honestly justify this? Has there been any and UK. The fascist mentally seem to linger in the German ruling circles.
That is why not a word of sympathy hardly escape their lips. Whenever it does it rings very hollow. They do not condemn the murder of more than one hundred United Nations workers, nor the killing of almost one hundred journalists, or their imprisonment and the deliberate targeting of their families. They are dead silent about the more than one hundred health workers killed at hospitals, in ambulances and in their homes. The “Western Democracies” have abandoned all pretenses of being just and peace loving. Every attempt at calling for a ceasefire at the United Nation have been sabotaged. They continue to supply the bombs, bullets and other military equipment to kill Palestinians. The ruling elite have been ignoring the demands of their own populations to halt the mass murder of innocent civilians. To crown their hypocrisy, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany have joined with Israel in the case of genocide that was brought by South Africa.
This should remove any doubts as to the real nature of the ruling classes in those countries. The ordinary working people of those “Western Democracies” must not delude themselves that they are safe from the viciousness of their rules. Experiences have shown that whenever any of their own citizens oppose the apartheid regime in Israel, the US leave them at the mercy of the racist Israeli reports of rape/sexual assault of any Palestinian female since the October assault in the desert? A number of PPP leaders have been very vociferous in their pleading for the cause of these perpetrators. Allow me to go throw up as I write this.
Sincerely,
N. Sahadeo regime. Those brave enough to stand up can expect no protection from their own government. Israel can do as it pleases. Recall in 1967 that Israel attacked a United States of America spy ship and killed 34 United States nationals, wounded 171 and damaged the ship “USS Liberty”. Israel got away with this. Indeed the US seems to want people to forget this attack by their own ally. Recall too Rachel Corrie, just 23 years old who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer when she was protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza on March 16th, 2003. The United States did nothing to give justice to an American citizen.
Only a few days ago, an American Journalist Gonzalo Lira who was living in Ukraine died in prison at the hands of the regime there. His ‘crime’ was to speak the truth about what was happening in the Russia/Ukraine war. His father said that for the month he was in prison the United States Embassy or State Depart-ment did nothing to help him. They allowed him to die in prison at the hands of the Zelensky regime. Almost sixty years ago, Dr. Cheddi Jagan sat down to record the role of the United States and United Kingdom in the sabotage of democracy in Guyana. He titled his book “The West on Trial”. Had he been alive today and was writing about the Gaza he would not have had the same title. It would have been “The West is guilty of genocide.”
Sincerely,
