On 26 January 2024, the International Court of Justice found that a plausible case can be made that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Given the West's presumed commitment to human rights and especially to preventing genocide, one would have expected countries like the United States, Britain, and Germany, to have stopped the Israeli genocide in its tracks.
Instead, the governments in those three countries, especially the United States, have supported Israel's unimaginable behavior in Gaza at every turn. Indeed, those three countries are complicit in this genocide.
Moreover, almost all of the many human rights advocates in those countries, and in the West more generally, have stayed silent while Israel executed its genocide. The mainstream media has made hardly any effort to expose and challenge what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Indeed some key outlets have staunchly supported Israel's actions.
One wonders what people in the West who have either supported Israel's genocide or remained silent tell themselves to justify their behavior and sleep at night.
History will not treat them kindly.

It would appear that this IS the original and the author has removed something no doubt 'anti-semitic' in order to stay publishing. Self-censoring at its worst.
Below the cart it looks like the word arum to me. I tried to search arum and Arum palaestinum came up, Solomon's Lily or Priest's Hood. It is a herbal medicinal and is used to remove parasites and cancer.
" Arum palaestinum has an eclectic history as both a food and a medicine. As is often the case, its use does not fit neatly into one or either category exclusively, but rather reflects its wide use as a food-medicine. According to Yaniv,5 the de-stemmed leaves, cooked with lemon or sorrel, are considered a delicacy by Arabs, who also traditionally esteem the plant as a medicine for the treatment of cancer, for the killing of worms in animals and humans"
Maybe a weird coincidence, but there is certainly a cancer or parasite at hand....
Starmer is the last traitor to lead and Farage will not win even with Musky's money.
The old order is now fully spent and cannot hide it's murderous nature.
