The overwhelming, gratuitous, disproportionate, and callous destruction of lives-innocent children, women, and other Palestinian civilians and citizens; including the bombing of the Islamic University, is indefensible, immoral and criminal acts of state terrorism by Israel.

The United states and Britain, including the UN Security Council, cannot simply blame Hamas, while the perpetrator of violence, and the party using weapons of mass destruction to kill people in Gaza is the criminal and apartheid state of Israel. Why Gordon Brown simply saying he is appalled? Come on, Prime Minister Brown! How could you merely be appalled, when over Ziimbabwe, you could invoke the International Criminal Court (ICC) and even urge the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against Robert Mugabe and Zimbabwe?

What about Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice? Why, only recently, she urged for a coalition of the willing, to overthrow Robert Mugabe, because he is allegedly violating the rights of Zimbabweans. But in the face of real and criminal acts of barbarity against the people of Palestine in Gaza, Condoleeza Rice looks the other way; condemning Hamas instead, and imposing the burdens of a ceasefire on the colonised, dominated and dispossessed people of Palestine.

Britain, the USA, and the European Union have no moral authority to lecture the world on the issues of human rights. Until they condemn and impose sanctions on Israel the same way they do to third world countries and other peoples who are regarded as "other"- the "other world" -from Asia to Latin America to Africa, must begin to cooperate the same way they cooperated during decolonisation, to defend their peoples and their interests defeat the forces of imperialism and double standards.

The source of the violence is not Hamas rockets fired into Israel, stupid! It is the occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel, and the exile and incaceration of Palestinians in concentration camps, supervised by the United Nations.

What is going on in Gaza, and what has been going on in occupied Palestinian lands since 1967, is nothing but genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. American leaders must stop pulling the wool over our eyes. Only after they have served their term in office, then they begin to say they care about the other majority of humanity by launching charitble foundations and other nonsense, when all the while they were in power, they supervised the same policies that impoverished and decimated people all over the world.

What comes out of Washington, London and Brussels, is all hogwash; they are deep up to their elbows in blood of innocent people in Palestine, by blindly supporting apartheid and Zionist Israeli policies of ethnic cleanisng that they would not tolerate elswhere.

The other world should not be interested in feigned compassions out of Washington, London and Brussels, but must insist on their reining in Israel and ushering it out of occupied Palestinian and other Arab lands, as the only realistic solution and means to a durable and just peace. Anything short of that, the Palestinians and all oppressed peoples of the world have a right to self-determination and to use all means possible to assert their claims and advance and defend their interests.

Where are Archbishops Desmond Tutu and John Sentamu, when they should be leading this moral outrage? Might it not be fitting indeed, for Bishop John Sentamu to cut up his cassocks, to demonstrate a proportionate moral outrage, since he thought a dog collar appropriately expressed his moral indignation at Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe?
