"The Non-Aligned Movement strongly condemns the recent military actions against the Palestinian people and believes that the Israeli regime's aggression and its resort to bullying against defenseless people requires the immediate attention of the international community."

Security Council action was urged. Washington's veto assures resolutions condemning Israel never pass.

Western leaders and media scoundrels support Tel Aviv's worst crimes. They're always in lockstep with Israeli crimes of war and against humanity. Lost civilian lives, widespread destruction, and human suffering don't matter. 

Israel's imperial ambitions count most. Middle East hegemonic status is sought. Tel Aviv wants all regional rivals removed. War is prioritized when other ways fall short.

Western leaders and media scoundrels ignore key issues. Collective punishment is policy. So is targeting civilians in all Israeli wars. It's called "Dahiya."

It's named after the Beirut suburb destroyed in Israel's 2006 Lebanon war. Then Northern Command General Gabi Eisenkot explained, saying:

"What happened in the Dahiya quarter of Beirut in 2006 will happen in every village from which Israel is fired on." 

"We will apply disproportionate force at the heart of the enemy's weak spot (civilians) and cause great damage and destruction."
