Sir,
The sorrowful pictures of the mass killings of innocent civilians in the Middle
East is beyond human comprehension. The psychology of killing and witnessing
such raw violence will affect the human race for decades to come. These brutal
massacres are directed against all of humanity and are executed with
beastliness. As the sword of Damocles hangs over the people, the so-called
civilised world watches on. History won’t be kind to us.
Judge
It will judge us harshly. The world is shocked to see images of unimaginable
horror. The graphic pictures reveal unspeakable brutality and atrocity. The
genocidal campaign against innocent civilians, including children, is a crime
against humanity. There are clear moral imperatives to stop the slaughter.
Genocide is regarded by virtual nation-states as a behaviour of barbarism, and
States that engage in genocide invariably deny their guilt, thereby paying
homage to the principle.
Cultural
No nation dare stands before the world and declare its ‘cultural right’ to
commit genocide. The savage brutality in the Middle East and Ukraine imposes
demands on our moral conscience to demand international intervention. Human
beings are being slaughtered by evil forces, abandoned by humanity, forsaken by
the world’s conscience and rendered dead by the apathy of the shameless world.
We need to raise our concern against those who perpetrate evil and the impact of
apathetic bystanders as fuel for the violence. A catalogue of the world’s
atrocities continues unabated.
The world looks on from the frightening images displayed in 3D, watching masses
of humanity left behind, mangled corpses of adults and children shredded by
unrestrained weapons of war. The UN Security Council is, as usual, impotent in
the face of such outrageous and heinous atrocities. The world stands on the
cliff of the abyss of intolerance, barbarism and planned genocide. The toothless
UN stands impotent in the face of global massacres. As global citizens, we are
compelled by human decency to assist in halting this carnage. By remaining
silent and indifferent, we betray our existence.Rest assured that Almighty God
is not asleep; divine retribution is a certainty.
