A paper condemning Israel that is committing war crimes in Gaza, even if signed by 28 countries is still just a piece of paper. Into the trash bin of history is the way that the State of Israel treats it - along with the Israeli media -calling it antisemitic. It is not antisemitic, but it also has no impact. Yesterday's "incident" in which am Israeli cruise ship carrying more than 1000 Israelis being unable to dock on a Greek Island because of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and the questioning by Belgium police of two young Israelis waving IDF flags at a music and dance festival is just the first taste of what we Israelis are going to be facing all around the world - and it is not antisemitism - it is against the State of Israel which is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. You cannot starve a whole population, you cannot destroy a whole civilization, you cannot destroy the homes and institutions including schools, universities, public building, water and electricity infrastructure of more than two million people and get away with it. Israel's crimes have a price tag and we will begin to see that price tag being cashed in more and more.
To the 28 countries who signed the document - we don't need more documents - good as they may be - we need action. This war must end now - not one day longer should Israel be allowed to continue to kill and destroy in Gaza. It is not good enough to say that "the world is watching" and "all eyes on Gaza". The majority of Israelis know that what Israel is doing is wrong and criminal - but they are still in trauma and exhausted by this war - they are not yet able to take action - I hope that they will and that it will not take too long before they wake up and understand the depth of the crimes that the State of Israel is committing. Now, the world needs to take action - even if the United States continues to back Netanyahu and his criminal government. There is no excuse for the world to sit by and watch another genocide take place without taking action.
