Media Part denounced the West’s lack of response to Israeli actions and the killing of tens of thousands of civilians they caused, stressing that this goes beyond the double standards that were denounced months ago, and is in fact active complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by this rogue state. .
The French website saw – in a lengthy report written by Joseph Confavro – that the speed and violence of the Beirut bombings created a kind of astonishment in Lebanon and in the West, to the point that the series of unknown and unburied civilian deaths, who fell under the Israeli strikes, had a narcotic effect.
Historian Vincent Le Maire said, “We do not know the stories and faces of the dead in Gaza. At least 40,000 dead, including no less than 30,000 women and children in Gaza, are innocent, of course. These numbers have practically the power of numbing us, and they no longer have any significance today.” “.
A war of revenge
To bring the picture closer, the site says that for a year, Israel has been committing the equivalent of the October 7 massacre every week. However, no Western leader rushed to Ramallah or to Beirut to express horror at this massacre, and no head of state or The Western government gives the Palestinian and Lebanese people its full support in confronting the attacks.
Therefore – as the writer says – the fact remains that the Israeli government is responsible, on average, for the killing of more than 1,200 people every week over the past year, and that Western leaders are responsible for political and military support for this endless massacre that does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. .
This war led by Israel – according to the writer – is a war of deterrence, but it is also revenge and causes rivers of blood to flow at the hands of Western and American leaders above all, from President Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, as they are all tainted because they share responsibilities with the criminals who rule Israel.
The matter is not limited – according to the writer – to the fact that the dead Israeli prisoners have names, faces, and stories, unlike the rotting bodies in mass graves in Gaza, or buried under the rubble of the southern suburb, or those detained in the Negev prisons that are difficult to reach, but rather the Palestinian or Shiite body He no longer has any value in the eyes of Israelis in particular, and Westerners in general.
The website pointed out that non-exaggerated estimates revealed that there are about 120,000 deaths in Gaza, and this means that we will actually have about 100 Palestinian deaths compared to one Israeli death since October 7, 2023. These are amazing numbers, compared to a ratio of 7 to 1. During the first intifada and 3 to 1 during the second intifada.
Western complicity
The writer went on to say that the West is responsible for wiping out Lebanese and Palestinian civilians in more than one way, the first of which is providing the weapons and funds needed for this massacre, as the Israeli government expressed its pleasure by announcing new aid worth $8.7 billion from the American ally at the time it was striking Beirut, and the United States claims United States was not aware of this.
The second is the refusal to recognize the Palestinian state, with some rare exceptions such as Norway, Ireland, and Spain, knowing that the Middle East was shaken after the assassination of the leader of Hezbollah, a move that would prove that the Iranian threat to Israel is still under control, and that Tehran is unable to compete militarily with A country supported by the United States.
Finally, by letting the West, its ally Israel, trap itself in the malicious logic that justifies confusing security with revenge, who can believe that the Israeli government is not responsible for the fate of the detainees who are still alive in Gaza, after it derailed several rounds of negotiations and eliminated the leader of Ismail Haniyeh’s Hamas, who supervised it in a less stubborn manner than his successor, Yahya Sinwar?
Limits of strategy
The site pointed out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s tactical victory should not hide the fact that it was based on an expected disaster, and as Aluf Benn, editor-in-chief of Haaretz newspaper, said, Israel “before turning Lebanon into another Gaza” must realize that there is “another way other than force.” “Unbridled efforts to return detainees from Gaza and the northerners to their homes,” recalling that the dismantling of the Syrian chemical arsenal was achieved through diplomatic pressure, not through blind destruction.
The writer pointed to the devastation that befell the Gaza Strip and the tens of thousands of dead, amputated, wounded, and orphans there, which constitute fertile ground for future attacks. The Israeli army’s operation against Hezbollah is of such size and effectiveness that it is impossible to say today whether it will lead to an Iranian response, or to a new status quo in favor of Israel, or to a profound reshaping of the political and even geographical maps of the entire region.
The writer stated that the targeted assassinations committed by Israel have often brought more determined people to the leadership of the organizations it is fighting, whether within Hezbollah or with the election of Yahya Sinwar as head of Hamas this summer.
He believed that Netanyahu’s current victory does not contradict Sinwar’s victory, pointing out that Sinwar achieved a strategic victory by storming southern Israel amid complete intelligence blindness, and a political victory because he succeeded to a large extent in destroying what he could destroy of Israel, and in the end it is an ideological victory through… Reformulating the Palestinian issue in a new logic.
The writer concluded that if the world thinks today according to the logic of former US President George W. Bush, Netanyahu, Sinwar, or Russian President Vladimir Putin, it cannot see (the world) except according to the axis of good and the axis of evil, but if we still believe that the force of law can Overcoming the right of force, it is urgent to curb the revanchist arm of a country that is supposed to be a refuge for a people who suffered genocide and an ally of the West.
