The West's two-faced discourse on Human Rights and its moral decay

Human rights encompass various fundamental rights and freedoms that ensure the safe existence of individuals with free will, regardless of any distinctions. These rights include the right to life, access to food and water, the right to housing, property rights, freedom of thought and expression. In times of war, human rights demand the protection of civilians, especially children, women, and the elderly, and the enforcement of rules of war.

The current stance of Western states in the face of the massacres and genocide perpetrated by Zionists against Palestinians in Israel reveals the hypocrisy of their previously vocalized human rights rhetoric. The silence of the West in the face of the thousands of innocent Palestinians killed exposes the emptiness of the values ​​system of the Western world, indicating a moral decay rooted in this system.

For the past twenty years, the Palestinian people, cornered in a city turned into an open prison, have been systematically killed under the pretext of war. In the last month alone, the State of Israel, which has killed over four thousand children, bombs hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, and refugee camps in plain view of the world. Zionists aim to annihilate the Palestinian people as a whole, from ambulances carrying the wounded to civilian convoys setting out at their own calls.

Israel not only murders defenseless Palestinian civilians with advanced bombs, missiles, and planes but also commits genocide with white phosphorus bombs, defined as a war crime by international humanitarian law.

So where is the value system that humanity has developed in the face of this genocide? What is the United Nations doing? Where are the international institutions operating in the field of human rights? What are the Western states, claiming to be the representatives of civilization and having taken on the role of the world's police, doing?

In the face of the genocide perpetrated by Israel in Palestine, the hegemonic powers of international politics, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, not only refrain from condemning Israel but also support it. Apparently, the leaders of these countries have become slaves to the Zionists.

Western states, which accuse other countries of violating human rights in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, do not even condemn Israel's civilian massacres or consider calling for a ceasefire. The hypocrisy of Western states has now been exposed.

Perhaps, for Westerners, Palestinians are not considered human beings. They may think, as implied by the Israeli Defense Minister, that Palestinians are "half-human, half-animal" and that their killings are not contrary to human rights. Just as in ancient Greece and Rome, people living outside the city were considered barbarians deprived of all human rights, Palestinians also seem to be outside of Western civilization.

There is no possibility of continuing the injustice and the rule of the law of the jungle in non-civilized lands outside the West. Either Western states will abandon their hypocritical human rights discourse and put an end to their moral decay, or the world will turn into a lake of blood.

For now, the genocide committed by Israel can be hidden from a bit of world public opinion with the global financial power and media monopoly. However, this atrocity written in bloody letters in history will not be forgotten as long as humanity exists and will be remembered until doomsday.

In fact, it is understood that the moral decay of the West extends to its roots. In ancient Greece, where the foundations of Western thought were laid, those who were not citizens of the city were treated as barbarians deprived of all human rights, just as Palestinians seem to be excluded from Western civilization today.

In medieval Europe, only Christians were considered first-class citizens, while Jews were condemned to live in ghettos. For centuries, Jews had to live as half-animal, half-human beings in Europe.

In fact, the Jewish issue, as known, was a Christian and inquisition issue. For centuries, Jews were subjected to othering, exclusion, and xenophobia by Christians.

All the evils, diseases, and material and spiritual plagues in European capitals were believed to originate from Jews. For this reason, Jews were treated as lepers in Europe. Finally, this hatred of Jews reached its peak in Germany, and millions of Jews were subjected to genocide by the Nazis during World War II. Of course, Western states succeeded in covering up the thousand-year-old anti-Jewish hatred in Europe by blaming everything on the Nazis.

With the Balfour Declaration passed by the British Parliament in 1917, while preparing a mandate state for Palestinians, the long-term goal was to establish a Zionist state. During the debate in Parliament, when an Indian-born anti-Zionist Jew mentioned the right of people to self-determination, reminding of Wilsonian principles, Balfour responded by stating that all human rights, especially self-determination, apply only to Westerners.

So, from ancient Greece to the genocide perpetrated by today's Zionists, it seems that the two-faced nature of the human rights discourse of the West has not changed. The goal of Western states is to advance their own colonialism and defend their moral values ​​only for themselves.
