Arab and Muslim Majority Countries: It’s Time To Show Backbone and Moral Courage

While Joining South Africa at the ICJ is an Important Step, More is Needed

I will refrain from describing the tragedy we can all see livestreaming before our eyes — genocidal intent, acts of genocide and the slaughter of thousands of women and children. Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself, but this does not include committing genocide along the way. Jews, who suffered at the hands of Nazis, should know better than to essentially repeat similar atrocities. Israel’s enabler in chief has been the United States — duplicitously encouraging Israel to use “targeted” lethal actions to avoid civilian deaths, while simultaneously supplying Israel with more 2,000 pound bombs designed for widespread casualties and defending its atrocities with vetoes at the UN Security Council.

America’s duplicity and hypocrisy are on full display under bright lights. Americans must face reality — it is no longer admired around the world and its isolation will only get worse. Moral Americans should be outraged and dismayed by what their government is doing in their names. Arabs and Muslims in most Arab and Muslim majority countries should be ashamed by the inaction and silence of their governments and rulers with uprising as their only effective option.
