The world had always been dominated by countries holding great power and led by authoritarian people. The world saw different Nations, Dictators, Monarchies throughout the ages dominating the rest of the world for many years, under their totalitarian grip.

Citizens at any time during these years were not valued or calculated as humans but rather as necessities for doing the errands and catering to the needs of the high and mighty.

In the recent era of time it was the large European countries which colonised almost all of the known world. People of African Nations were enslaved, sold by auction and used as sub-humans by their new owners. Many of them up until the present day are still not classed as equals to the whites in many countries around the world.

Oliver Cromwell

It was Oliver Cromwell who first revolted against the Monarchy’s dominance in England and created the British Parliament. Still after a while the Monarchy was once again restored but without its supreme previous authority.

The French Revolution

It was the French people that first revolted against the oppression of the Monarchy and similar revolution spread among the rest of Europe. This brought with it the opening of schools for all of the citizens and took away many of the privileges of the high and mighty.

Although throughout these years there were several battles which the French Revolutionists won, these finally came to an end with the downfall of Napoleon and his exile on a small remote island.

Still the flame of liberty was ignited and it never went away.

Colonialism by European Countries

Time was now ripe for the major countries in Europe to dominate the whole world by their colonising. The major culprits were Britain and France who became the most powerful of all of the European dominating nations.

Till the 2nd World War these two countries continued their domination, but lost their positions after the war to America and Russia. Nowadays China, and also slowly India, are coming strongly into the same position.

The French Cause

The French Citizens call for Liberty – Equality and Fraternity – will always be the general citizens call for generations to come. But and I would say, with a BIG BUT, it is easier said than done.

Present Time

At the present time we are seeing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia who as a super power is trying to take swathes of Ukrainian land by force. Stiff resistance is rightly being made by the Ukrainians with the help of armaments and finances provided by the Western World.

We all must continue to support the right of the Ukrainians to acquire their lands back, it is right and appropriate that we should.

On the other hand we are seeing the brutality carried out by Hamas on the Jewish Settlements and the killing of several hundred civilians as well as taking others hostage.

No matter how Jewish Settlers have take over Palestinian lands, this action must be vehemently condemned by one and all.

However, we are now witnessing the total destruction of the whole of Gaza and its citizens with the blessing of the supposed “Free Western World” disregarding the condemnation of many other countries including our own.

The bombing of civilians, hospitals, homes and infrastructure across all of Gaza is nothing but shameful, inhumane and atrocious.

So one asks how is it that the Western World, which professes to be the Voice of Democracy, supports Israel in these ongoing atrocities throughout Gaza?

What is just and right for anyone should also be extended to Gaza and its people.

How can one support over 2 million people being left without Medicinal Supplies – Water – Electricity – Food – Petrol for Generators, etc. etc. with the bombing of Hospitals – Ambulances – Houses – Schools – etc. etc. occurring day and night with no respite whatsoever.

Protests by the general public are being made in almost all countries across the world but it seems to no avail against the heartlessness of the Jewish Political Class and the Western supposedly “Free World.”

The only dissenting voices, apart those of the general public during their demonstrations, are from the United Nations, but these are vetoed every time by one or more of the supreme five who hold the real reins in this world body.

Conclusion

Even if I remain by myself in trying to bring sanity into this massacre, I shall maintain that I am right in my view and urge the real world powers to put a stop to these terrible inhumanities.
