Israel attacked Gaza, and the United Nations finally intervened

Mondo International Updated on 2024-01-28

Gaza has been devastated by the conflict between Palestine and Israel for more than two months. Under heavy Israeli bombardment, the Gaza Strip is more than 170,000 people died, mostly women and children. The entire Gaza region was almost razed to the ground, and was described by foreign media as "the tragic situation of Germany at the end of World War II". At first, no one expected the conflict to turn into a massive siege and collective ** of innocent civilians. As Israel's retaliation escalates, the United States, which provides military support, has turned a deaf ear and is indifferent to the humanitarian crisis. The United Nations was so anxious that it even took a rare action. As far as the current situation in Gaza is concerned, according to a report by the Financial Times on the 6th, Israel's retaliatory bombing in the past two months has destroyed almost the entire Gaza region.

Two U.S. universities analyzed data from local satellite radars and found that more than 60 or even 70 percent of buildings in northern Gaza had been severely damaged. Comparing the situation in Gaza with the bombing of Germany at the end of World War II, the report points out that the horror of Gaza is likely to make it go down in history. It is sad that such a humanitarian tragedy has occurred in a civilized society in the 21st century, however, to see the essence of the matter, where is the continued large-scale Israeli aggression against Gaza, and where is its ammunition?That's right, the vast majority are from the United States. In contrast to aid to Ukraine, we rarely seem to hear in the news about public statements by the United States about military assistance to Israel.

This is because the United States is well aware that if it intervenes in a high-profile manner, it will inevitably be regarded by the international community as "executioners" of attacks against civilians, along with Israel. At that point, the pressure will make Biden even worse. During the recent Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the United States provided Israel with more than 70,000 artillery shells and bombs, including GBU-31 bombs, BLU-109 bombs, and MK84 unguided bombs, which weigh about 2,000 pounds, according to an anonymous U.S. person. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has privately stated that they urgently need a sustained supply of ammunition from the United States, especially bombs of all kinds.

Retired Israeli Major General Yitzhak Brick even bluntly said that the planes, bombs, and artillery shells used by Israel all came from the United States, and without the support of the United States, Israel would not be able to carry out this war at all. This information suggests that there are two main reasons why the Gaza Strip has suffered such large-scale destruction. First of all, the heavy bombs supplied by the United States to Israel have become the "biggest" to exacerbate the destruction of Gaza, it is understood that Israel frequently uses 1,000 or 2,000 pound bombs to bomb the Gaza region, claiming that by doing so, it can destroy Hamas's underground bunkers and tunnel networks, thereby weakening Hamas to the greatest extent. However, these heavy bomb attacks not only do not determine the situation of Hamas members, but also inevitably lead to civilians and ordinary buildings becoming the primary targets.

Secondly, the frequency and intensity of Israeli bombing is also alarming. In addition to the use of heavy bombs, Israel has carried out intensive bombardment of targets in Gaza on an almost daily basis, raining down shells whenever they are targeted by Israeli forces until the target is in ruins. Under such intense attacks by the Israeli army, artillery shells have relentlessly hit Gaza, countless civilians have been displaced, and women and children have tragically fallen in pools of blood. However, the indifference and acquiescence of the United States have emboldened Israel. In the face of the intensifying humanitarian crisis, the United Nations has finally taken action, with Secretary-General António Guterres invoking Article 99 of the UN Charter in a rare attempt to pressure Israel and the United States through the power of the international community. This is the second time that the United Nations has used this clause since the 70s of the twentieth century.

Secretary-General of the United Nations). However, despite the UN Secretary-General's gesture showing determination, the United States** did not intervene directly. Israel's seemingly indifferent attitude to the actions of the United Nations and its frequent disregard for the Secretary-General of the United Nations is deplorable and a disgrace to the United Nations and to humanity as a whole.
