by Viviana Lombardi Ms Ashrawi words in this video had me discover something about myself. During the tragedy weve all witnessed in Gaza, and for that matter the West Bank, where abductions and all sorts of heinous crimes against the Palestinians were and are an ongoing occurrence, I felt particularly detached from the outside world. There was nothing as important as trying to do something for those people. The obscenity of such a spectacle of inhumane depravity and injustice had my own personal world detained into a state of utter despair and disbelief that the so called human condition attributed to all living individuals could, like in the case of the Israelis and their defenders, fall so low. The cesspit of perversion and sadism displayed by a majority of Israelis as a society has brought to full light what means to be or not to be human. Some may argue that there are many other human tragedies to claim as barbaric and incomprehensible, and rightly so. To such purpose, the Zionists have hastily created further atrocities for the world to witness and the culpability of Israel to be whitewashed. The ongoing escalades of wildly deranged mercenary assassins running amok over the Middle East may sufficiently attest it. But Palestine has been for decades paraded under our eyes accompanied by the defiant discourse of psychopathic braggarts and bullies in charge not only in the doomed so called estate of Israel, but also in Washington, the UK and the EU. This defiance to all the world, this compulsion we are all suffering day in and out to accept and tolerate watching such cesspit of damnation as part of humanity is a universal affront to us all. And Im taking it personally. And at the same time I know I wont ever be able to relate to any other individual on this planet who hasnt sided with the Palestinian cause. For me a declaration of the liberal good conscience that denounces but does not act in consequence does not suffice any more. So please, all those who used to be my friends and acquaintances and have refrained from actively taking action against Israel and its unfathomably cruel people and crimes, abstain from now on to contact me. Gaza has wounded us all in different ways, opening a bleeding abyss between those who still belong with humankind and those who have decided to stay cynically inhuman and indifferent. Spare me from further inhumanity. I will take nothing short of total condemnation and active boycotting of Israel and the demons that support it. We should all be rallying to actively demand justice for Palestine and the dock in a court for the as yet unpunished evilness and crimes the powerful in the world have allowed of Israel. We should all be uniting to compensate with compassion and decisive courage in the battle ahead against the barbaric and remorseless monster called Israel. I cannot and will not take any less. #UniteAgainstZionism #ICC4ISRAEL
