The biggest problem with the world is that most people value the lives of people of their race, religion, ethnicity, country, or geographic region more than they value the lives of people of other races, religions, ethnicities, countries, or geographic regions.
This is why Israel is killing Palestinians with strong support. This is why most politicians are much more concerned about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine than Israel’s genocide in Gaza with much more casualties, Israel’s ethnic cleansing in West Bank, Israel’s invasion and occupation of Syria, Israel’s invasion and occupation of Lebanon, and Israel’s attacks on Iran.
Don’t fall into this trap. Palestinians, Arabs, Persians, and Muslims are humans too. Palestinians, Arabs, Persians, and Muslims should be treated equally.
Israel drew first blood repeatedly and has been massacring, ethnically cleansing, and brutally oppressing Palestinians since 1948.
Military intervention is needed immediately to stop Israel’s siege preventing water and food from entering Gaza. Otherwise, the remaining Palestinians in Gaza will die from terminal dehydration or starvation.
Palestine needs to be recognized as an independent country. A new world security council needs to be established so that resolutions critical of Israel can’t be vetoed by the U.S. Until Palestinians have liberty and security, any Palestinian should have the option of moving to another country.
There needs to be economic boycotts, academic boycotts, cultural boycotts, and sports boycotts of Israel. There needs to be divestment from companies complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity. There needs to be sanctions against Israel.
Israel’s government, military, and political parties supporting the occupation need to be classified as terrorist organizations. Current and former Israeli terrorists need to be banned from entering any other country. Israeli settlers living in illegal settlements need to be banned from entering any other country. There needs to be sanctions on Israeli settlers living in Palestinian territory.

An international peacekeeping force needs to be deployed to forcibly remove Israel’s military and settlers from Palestinian territory, to end Israel’s blockade of Palestinian territory, to remove Israel’s military from Syria and Lebanon, and to disable Israel’s military from inflicting its tyranny.
