Truth vs Falsehood

Money has corrupted the morality in the West. Being controlled by the foreign lobby, the West polices the world on terrorism meanwhile it is facilitating a genocide in Gaza. International laws have become a joke which the West forces on the less superior ones but refuses to oblige by them when they are contrary to their own imperial goals.

What about the October 7th then? This is the question posed by the West when questioned on the genocide happening in Gaza. The right of freedom is a basic human right recognized all over the world. When it is snatched from the population, the people will not just sit idle while their homes and lands are ravaged. This has been happening in Palestine since 1948, the Palestinians displaced from their homes on a huge scale such that there are only two disproportionate Palestinian regions left while the occupier has seized much of the original Palestinan land. Now tell me, if Hitler invading Poland and Russia invading Ukraine are blatant violations of the international law then why is the occupation of Palestine regarded as completely acceptable by the West? No human life supersedes another but tell me what would you do if placed in the same situation as the Palestinians, being in a densely populated open-air prison, constantly being monitored and harassed by the occupier, being victims of military assaults targeting people and infrastructure, being forced to live in poverty due to restrictions placed by the occupier? You cannot disregard the context of the October 7th. Imagine if a headline broke out, a group of people attacked a person. If the news is presented without the context, it would make the group of people in direct violation of law but if the context, a group of people attacked a person because the person was a rapist, is inserted, it completely shifts the blame to the person.

Now the point has come to choose between truth and falsehood. Does anyone think that they can commit harm against someone and they will not be punished in this life? No, everyone will be held accountable for what they used to do in the worldly life and Allah is the best of all judges.
