The glaring disconnect between Western rhetoric and action has again and again been dramatically exposed by its complicity in Gaza’s genocide. With a staggering Palestinian civilian death toll exceeding 8000 so far, half of whom were children, the US was the only country to veto a UN Security Council resolution calling for humanitarian pauses in Gaza to deliver essential supplies. Additionally, alongside European states, the US has also blocked multiple proposals for a ceasefire, effectively intensifying the Israeli mass killing machine in Gaza.
Such actions expose the moral bankruptcy of the West. They stand in direct violation of their own international laws, including the principles laid out in UN Security Council Resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which safeguard civilians in conflict zones.

U.S. Republican presidential candidates including frontrunner Donald Trump touted their unwavering support for Israel wiping out Palestinian Hamas militants, as they campaigned with addresses to major Jewish donors in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The Republican Jewish Coalition’s (RJC) weekend donor gathering has taken on heightened importance as Israel prepares a ground invasion of Gaza following a surprise attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 that killed more than 1,400 Israelis. Gaza’s health authorities say more than 7,000 Palestinians have been killed in retaliatory Israeli air strikes.
Support for Israel is a hallmark of American Republican politics. Still, around 1,500 donors gathered in Las Vegas were seekingfirmer expressions of commitment as Israel faces growing criticism from human rights groups for its air strikes in Gaza, a densely populated area.
“The United States will stand with Israel 100% – without hesitation, without qualification and without any apology. We’re not going to be apologizing,” Trump said to massive cheers, later adding he would sanction Iran and crack down on pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. campuses.
