I have often wondered how the illegitimate geopolitical construct known as Zionist Israel-an entity sustained by a consortium of international criminals-has managed to act with such impunity since 1948, and even earlier, while encircled by hundreds of millions of Muslims.
How could a nearly century-long campaign of systematic dehumanization, humiliation, oppression, and outright extermination of innocent Palestinians-facilitated initially by British imperial design-persist not only unimpeded, but also largely unnoticed within mainstream media, intellectual discourse, and even religious circles?
How could the unfolding genocide in Gaza of truly apocalyptic proportions proceed so efficiently, so seamlessly, and so unpunishably, while the cries of ordinary people either fall on deaf ears or dissipate before ever reaching the corridors of power in the Western capitals that anchor the most diabolical world order humanity has ever known?
One could sense, vaguely, what might be happening on the ground and behind the scenes. But that intuition was nothing compared to the painful truth. It was merely the tip of the iceberg. The actual magnitude of the catastrophe defies imagination.
The report did not mince words. It unequivocally established that the genocide in Gaza was a collective crime, "sustained by the complicity of influential Third States that have enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel. Framed by colonial narratives that dehumanize the Palestinians, this live-streamed atrocity has been facilitated through Third States' direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation."
Unsurprisingly, the most culpable actors were Western powers, affirming the enduring West-Israel axis of evil that has kept much of the world in a state of moral paralysis: fearing the worst, expecting the least, and witnessing the collapse of conscience in real time.
These regimes have, in effect, sold their souls to the devil, and the consequences manifest in myriad forms: political paralysis, moral bankruptcy, and complicity in genocide. The report highlights that Arab states such as the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco, rather than boycotting Israel to exert pressure, increased trade and cooperation, thereby fueling its genocidal campaigns.
Many of these governments oscillate between paradoxes, revealing what it means to be devoid of sovereignty and shackled beneath foreign boots. For instance, while Qatar and Egypt positioned themselves as mediators in ceasefire negotiations, Qatar simultaneously hosts the largest U.S. military base in the region - which is there not to spread good but malice, and to entrench its oppressive hegemony - and Egypt maintains deep security and economic ties with Israel, including energy cooperation and the closure of the Rafah crossing, Gaza's lifeline.
Most damningly, in August 2025, as starvation gripped Gaza, Egypt expanded its partnership with Israel through a US$35 billion natural gas deal. It is the largest export agreement in Israeli history. This indeed was not diplomacy. It was complicity.
Freedom, dignity, and honor are not mere ideals, they are the essential assets that determine whether individuals and nations are truly rich or irredeemably impoverished. Without them, life becomes a hollow performance. With them, even under siege, a people can rise above their oppressors and stand tall before history.
Gaza's ruins shine brighter than the marble halls of regional complicity. In its suffering, Gaza and its heroic people led by the superstars of Hamas radiate a nobility that the region's glossy facades of cowardice cannot emulate. They stand taller in honor than the glittering capitals of self-inflicted disgrace nearby.
And then, they sat. They watched. They observed the burning bodies of the innocent with no trace of guilt, no flicker of remorse, no pulse of compassion.
So too today: Gaza's children, scholars, and worshippers are hurled into the flames of modern trenches-bombarded, besieged, and buried-while the world watches in silence, or worse, in justification. The trench has returned, not as a relic of history, but as a living indictment of our age.
And the "crime" of Gaza and its people is nothing but their unshakable faith in Almighty Allah, their refusal to relinquish freedom, identity, and integrity, and their steadfast defiance against surrendering to the jaws of evil, which lurk from every corner of their ever-shrinking land and from every facet of their cultural and civilizational existence.
The entire syndicate of uncivilization-that is, modern barbarism or barbaric modernity-has risen to its feet, deploying every conceivable and inconceivable means to extinguish the last ember of humanity and authentic civilization. Gaza is the last bastion of self-worth in a world riddled with betrayal. It stands as the final fortress against the tide of moral collapse.
Little has changed in the West's existential trajectory, particularly in its interactions with the "other." Its past is not a distant memory but a living architecture. Its future, shaped by the same logic, offers no rupture, only continuity. In this light, the title of the acclaimed novel and film "All Quiet on the Western Front" becomes a fitting metaphor, not for peace, but for the uninterrupted march of Western (un)civilization, cloaked in silence, denial, and moral anesthesia.
Indeed, the wolf may change its coat, but not its nature. Whatever the institutionalized West proclaims-despite the presence of many dissenting individuals within-it continues to echo its embedded disposition, which is a compulsive drive toward control, enveloped in the rhetoric of progress. Its overblown celebration of science, technology, and development often serves as a decoy for global supremacy, masking the violence of its expansionist logic.
The entire edifice is shrouded in the illusion of civilization, a concept weaponized to subdue, exploit, and reorder the world. While dispensing second-rate material and immaterial goods to the weak and unsuspecting, it robs them of freedom, identity, dignity, and hope.
Undeniably, the Western notion of civilization, coupled with its crusading "mission to civilize" the so-called barbaric and primitive, has been responsible for some of the greatest miseries ever inflicted upon indigenous peoples, nations, and cultures. The "civilizing mission" was never about upliftment; it was about erasure.
In the end, the West has succeeded in perfecting the art of genocide, leaving in its wake a trail of national necropolises-vast graveyards masquerading as states-scattered across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. This is not a deviation but a defining feature, not an anomaly but a blueprint. It explains why the discipline of history in the West is so often a theatre of misrepresentation, falsification, and outright deceit. Western historiography is less about truth than about narrative engineering, constructing and deconstructing stories to suit imperial pursuits. To be economical with the truth has become second nature to the Western man.
Now, the West is transmitting this perfected art of genocide and deception to its geopolitical bastard: Israel. The Zionist regime is not merely a student; it is a surrogate and heir, absorbing the techniques of annihilation and narrative manipulation, and deploying them with ruthless precision.
Israel's policies in Gaza-blockade, bombardment, displacement-are not abnormalities; they are textbook colonial practices of containment and control. Palestinians are treated not as citizens with rights, but as a population to be managed, surveilled, and neutralized. They are cast as threats, terrorists, or subhuman, echoing the racialized logic that Western colonial powers deployed across their global dominions.
Gaza has also become a laboratory for imperial experimentation: a testing ground for advanced weaponry, surveillance technologies, and psychological warfare. The white-coated "experts" and "technologists" operating within this live-streamed crucible are not only Israeli, they hail from the West, complicit in both design and deployment.
According to the UN's October 2025 report, over 60 countries-mostly European-are implicated in the collective crime of enabling Israel's genocidal campaign. Their complicity spans four domains: diplomatic, military, economic, and humanitarian. It was, in essence, the most technologically sophisticated and materially advanced powers of the world arrayed against one of the most impoverished and besieged populations on earth. Historically, this is often the ratio when good is pitted against evil.
What unfolded in Gaza was not an isolated atrocity; it was the coordinated execution of a global neocolonial alliance, bent on fulfilling one of the most critical dimensions of its modern imperial design. The Zionist state functions as a proxy within a transnational framework, a crusading outpost of a civilizational order that seeks domination, not justice.
The very creation of Israel was conceived within this Islamophobic scaffold: not merely as a homeland for Jews, but as a strategic outpost to contain and neutralize Islam. Israel was designed to be a bulwark against the perceived threat of Islamic resurgence, a rampart to prevent the "menace" of Islam from flowing westward and "contaminating" the secular order with its so-called backwardness and primitivity.
Theodor Herzl, in "The Jewish State," made this explicit: "We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism." The "barbarism" he referenced was none other than Islam and its adherents.
This offer aligned perfectly with Western civilizational anxieties, and the West embraced it. Israel was planted as a cancer in the heart of Islamdom, a destructive and distractive force designed to keep Muslims preoccupied with internal crises, preventing them from rising, uniting, and asserting their voice on the global stage.
Israel was not merely founded; it was fortified, with Western investments pouring in to ensure its operational effectiveness. From military aid to diplomatic shielding, the West has sustained Israel as a permanent garrison of (un)civilizational control. History bears eloquent witness to how devastatingly effective this strategy has been.
The challenge is compounded by the fact that Western governments' official establishments and institutional arms-those that have served as the extended hands of genocide-have also been implicated. These include not only political and military bodies, but also universities, media conglomerates, corporate entities, and even key sectors of entertainment, pop culture, and sport.
This moment must serve as a wake-up call for the aware and genuinely enlightened among the Muslim ummah. Regardless of the specific reactive or proactive strategies to be adopted, one truth is undeniable: anyone who considers themselves a true Muslim must begin to disengage-strategically and conscientiously-from the institutions that have either justified or remained complicit in genocide.
It is high time to develop tactics and design comprehensive frameworks to steer clear of this moral and spiritual pollution. The ummah must reclaim its ethical compass, fortify its institutions, and cultivate environments where truth, dignity, and divine purpose are safeguarded against the corrosive tides of Western falsehood.
The West's moral legitimacy has collapsed, if it ever truly existed. It no longer possesses the right, nor the authority, to lecture the world on civilization, human rights, or justice. When Gaza burned, the West revealed its true face. Gaza became a furqan-a criterion that exposed the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Pharaohs.
These responses must begin at the grassroots level, encompassing not only Muslims but also the many like-minded non-Muslims who share a deep disillusionment with their governments. From there, the movement must gain momentum, drawing institutional support and eventually the backing of Muslim and allied governments.
The perpetrators must be constantly reminded of who they are, and how humanity as a collective and history as a witness will judge them.
The ultimate aim of these micro-movements is to mature into macro-forces, capable of producing seismic shifts in the global order, or better yet, to usher in a new, more virtuous and humane world order.
This is for the innocent blood spilled in Gaza. We owe it to them.
The West-Israel axis of evil must not be allowed to win. Their machinery of destruction, cloaked in law and diplomacy, has revealed itself not as a defender of civilization, but as its betrayer.
Gaza's martyrs-children, mothers, scholars, and seekers-did not die in vain. Their blood is a witness. A reckoning. A call to conscience.
We owe them truth.We owe them resistance.
We owe them a world where justice is not silenced by empire.
