Original title: If you don’t leave your homeland, is that an accomplice to a terrorist organization?Who made the rules so overbearing?
According to multiple foreign media reports, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have reported that the Israeli military has warned Gaza residents that if they do not move south, they may be deemed “accomplices of terrorist organizations.” The Israeli military’s warning comes as almost no aid is allowed into the Gaza Strip.
Gaza, with more than 2 million people living in 365 square kilometers of land, has the highest density in the world. The barren natural conditions and years of blockade have made people’s livelihood here extremely poor. After the outbreak of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, local water and electricity were cut off, and hospitals were shut down, making the situation even worse.
Under such circumstances, Israel’s request to move more than a million people through a densely populated war zone to a place without food, water or accommodation is extremely dangerous or even impossible. Now they are being urged again and again to issue an ultimatum to the local residents with the charge of “complicity in a terrorist organization”. This is not only arrogant, but will also inevitably lead to the further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
As military experts say, human war is different from the savage instinctive expression of animals and must be restrained by reason. This “rationality” means adhering to the bottom line of humanity and human conscience even in cruel and violent wars. The most important manifestation of this is the humanitarian protection of war victims. The formation of humanitarian protection rules is a manifestation of human beings moving from ignorance to civilization.
Specific to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there are complex historical latitudes. The evolution of the situation to this day is the result of the joint action of various factors. There is also huge uncertainty in the future trend. However, one thing is clear. International humanitarian law and human rights law must Be respected and maintained. How to put the brakes on this tragedy as soon as possible and avoid a larger humanitarian disaster has become a top priority for the international community. In contrast, Israel’s current behavior goes beyond the scope of self-defense. It should carefully listen to the calls of the international community and the United Nations Secretary-General to stop collective punishment of the people of Gaza.
Responding to violence with violence will only lead to a vicious cycle and stop innocent people becoming victims. This is basic human rights. In this regard, there is a consensus in the international community, and the realization of the consensus cannot be separated from the game of various forces, especially the attitude of the big powers. But what is disappointing is that some countries that usually talk about human rights the most seem to be completely in the opposite direction.
For example, the United States used a dissenting vote to terminate a draft resolution in the United Nations Security Council calling for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, which in disguise gave a green light to non-compliance with international humanitarian law; it symbolically sent a meager amount of food to the Gaza Strip. 20 trucks of humanitarian supplies are then delivered to Israel with a large-scale “murderous weapons”… All of these are tantamount to aiding evil and standing in opposition to the righteous forces of the international community.
Recently, a short video made many people cry: a war reporter asked a Palestinian boy what he wanted to do when he grew up. The boy smiled helplessly and replied: In Palestine, we can’t grow up. You could be shot just walking down the road.
The suffering caused by war will largely be borne by civilians. Humanitarian protection rules are people’s efforts to reduce the disasters of war as much as possible at this stage when human society cannot completely eliminate war. It is hoped that all relevant parties in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, no matter what strategic interests they want to achieve, will first adhere to the moral bottom line. (summer)
