Gaza.
Sometimes some things are so important and one would expect that the official response to be appropriate. However, it is concerning even alarming and certainly surprising that the powers that be in the UK government are taking action to censor opinions rather than respond to a humanitarian crisis. I know that politics has not historically always had the moral convictions of a nation at the forefront of political policy or agenda and that it might be idealistic to hope for this to be the case. The Middle East has caused great anxiety amongst the public of many nations because it is so influential to the plight of humanity. It does not matter if you are a politician in the country of the UK or elsewhere, this situation speaks to integrity for now and future generations.
The crisis in Gaza is a dire conflict of power, politics and authoritarianism. It is unfortunately a conflict that has swept up the most young and vulnerable. It is no longer a political gambit for control but a war devoid of humanity at heart. Without political leaders showing wisdom and actions that can reassure the public, emotions continue to escalate. I had hoped that the government in the UK would prevail in rectifying the lack of ample action and sentiment that it has put behind the destruction of Gaza. It is a degradation of value for human life and in aiming to condemn protests for concerns about this urgent plight, I fear that the government will become even further out of touch with the public of this country. Multiple times the Middle East has become witness to civilians in Gaza being shot at, wounded and killed, simply for attempting to get food for themselves and families. The hospitals are ill equipped to cope with the scale of patients and blockades are causing strife in attaining any kind of medical aid.
Images of very young children of three or four years old indicate that they now look like babies of three or four months old. Unable to move their arms or legs because of severe malnutrition, there is no suitable food due to human halting of it and only death awaits them.
I do not think that any decent person, let alone a government could do worse than nothing about this crisis. Warfare in Gaza has now seen clear violations of international law. Increasingly violent and excessive attacks have seen brutality overpower humanity.
Worse than not acting appropriately, I think that the government has caused the public to lose trust in the sense of justice. Legal representatives have written to the government outlining their opposition to arming what has become more a war on the civilians of Gaza and less a conflict about terrorism. Multiple occasions have seen medical, charitable, legal and public concerns ignored as arms have been sold to further heighten the war in the Middle East. In a recent action on the part of the government, once again the campaigns and protests have not been handled wisely. Prioritising the banning of protests and pushing through rushed laws to stifle public demonstrations does not represent the feelings of much of the public in the UK.
Across the world in many different countries populations have voiced their abhorrence at the plight of the Gazan population yet to no avail. Let's hope recent peace talks can bear some positive results so food, water and medical supplies can be distributed safely. It is the duty of any government to provide stable, just examples to uphold humanity and not allow agenda or allegiance to disregard the most basic of values.
