Germany's silence on Gaza while children starve reveals its dark colonial secret

 

As Palestinian children are burned and starved, Germany's elites offer quiet loyalty to a regime committing genocide - a betrayal rooted in its unreckoned history

For three months, Israel enforced a total blockade on Gaza, denying food, water, medicine and fuel to over two million Palestinians. Since the end of May, it has introduced a cruel system of aid distribution that is in fact a death trap used to exterminate starving Palestinians.

Even now, when Israel's sadistic lust for extermination has unleashed unimaginable suffering, and you can smell the burnt flesh of Palestinian children in western capitals and hear their screams of pain as they starve to death, Germany's elites remain silent.

The country where the smell of burning people and their starving to death once stood for one of the greatest crimes against humanity now remains steadfastly on the side of those whose heinous crimes spread that same smell and suffering again.

"Do you condemn the Zionists for their massacres of innocent Palestinian children?" one is tempted to ask these elites.

Their answer, however, would be little more than a variation on their favourite hollow refrain: "Israel has the right to burn children alive in the tents it forced them into, and the right to starve them to death."

In 20 months of genocide, nothing has changed for Germany's ruling class. They supported Israel when the genocidal regime let newborn babies freeze to death or suffocate in incubators. They willingly accept that the Israeli army deliberately and purposefully kills Palestinian children, and they look the other way when they are left to starve and die of thirst.

This is today's Germany: a country without a moral compass or conscience, infected with an elite whose silence in the face of Israeli crimes has long crossed into the obscene.

But while it may appear that Germany's elites are simply waiting for the genocide to end in the hope that everything will return to normal, their Faustian pact with the Zionist regime has already made them all accomplices. Having sold their souls to a genocidal government, they are now silent in the face of its orgy of extermination.

However, this silence on the part of the elites inadvertently reveals what the country has tried so carefully to conceal for decades.
