How Can Israeli Holocausts In Gaza Be Seen As A Scar On Western Conscious?

By Ali Al-Hail

Many observe that, selectivity, partiality, prejudice and bias imprint Western Foreign polices. Most notably, those of the United States of America. As regards, no subtle difference seems to be detected between what's called 'Democrats' and 'Republicans'.     

Ms. Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives was seen by many to have been emotively, overwhelmed by the Tibetan unrest that, had 'enigmatically,' erupted on March 10. Her meeting with the dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, in Northern India on Friday, had clearly, manifested her dubious initiative.  

Many argue that, since Tibet is part of China, Ms Pelosi may have offended the Chinese government, by not visiting Beijing instead, to discuss the issue. Her call on China to end its rule at the Tibet has widely, been perceived as typical of US double standard doctrine.  

Apparently, the controversial number of fatalities amongst Tibetans, as whether they were nearly, 10 or 100, had prompted Ms Pelosi view about the Chinese. All of a sudden, a discerning humanity emerged out of her political performance.

Three weeks go, when Israel massacred 37 children and 7 breast-fed-babies in addition to more than 100 civilians, including women, elderly, and handicapped, Ms Pelosi was being hypnotized by the Israeli Lobby. No one heard of her, calling on Israel to end its 4-decade-occupaion of Palestinian lands, in the same way, she urged the Chinese to end their rule of the Tibet.

Similarly, no one heard of Ms Pelosi's, 'the human democrat' human side, while Gazan children's and breast-fed-babies' blood and flush were spreading everywhere, by the Israeli-US-made-F16 missiles. This trendy attitude is needless to mention, applicable to almost entirely, all representatives of Western governments. Thus, Ms Pelosi is not, and won’t be an exemption.

According to George Galloway, the British Labor Independent even Tony Blair, the QUARTET's representative to Israel and the Palestinian lands, happened to have swallowed his tongue and his conscious, during the Israeli holocausts in Gaza (George Galloway, Bahrain, quoted by Al Jazeera TV, March 20th).
