Zionism and history
It was Marx who said that history repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce! Gaza is both, as the Zionists have been involved in perpetrating in Palestine for the last 80 years what the Nazis did to the Jews in Warsaw.
It started as tragedy and has morphed into farce, but with tragedy expanding exponentially as the Zionist Nazis continue with their attempt to eliminate the entire population of Gaza. The West repeats their deliberate looking away from the persecution and slaughter of the Jews throughout the 1930s, with our deliberate looking away from the Zionist slaughter of the Palestinians.
It makes a flagrant mockery of the Western conceit that we are the moral exemplars to the world. In fact, we are detested by the vast bulk of humanity for our complicity in another Western colonialist atrocity heaped upon those who we, in our disgraceful racism, regard as our moral inferiors.
We are close to being regarded by that bulk of humanity as an empire and culture that has lost all rights to be regarded as civilised at all when we cannot only stand by, but participate in the butchery of tens of thousands of innocent children.
