The Grave Humanitarian Crisis In Gaza Is About Values

The world remained silent as Gaza slid into an abysmal humanitarian crisis, with people unable to understand the basic difference between good and evil.

Since 2000, the vast majority of Arabs in the coastal enclave have supported killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel. The majority supported the October 7 attacks that sadistically butchered 1,200 people in Israel. The majority support Hamas, an antisemitic terrorist group that seeks to kill Jews and destroy the Jewish State.

Palestinian schools in Gaza teach young children to kill Jews. Public squares, schools and tournaments are named after terrorists who slaughter Jews. The media extolls killers and the Palestinian Authority pays the families of terrorists both in Gaza and the West Bank, monthly stipends for life for attacking Jews.

UN agencies quote various statistics about the scarcity of food and medicine in Gaza but avoid mentioning the moral depravity of Gazans, so let’s be clear: 70% of Gazans are in favor of killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel. The fact that such a question can even be asked on surveys says so much about the horrific state of Palestinian values.

The majority of Gazans support a full war with Israel in a new “armed Intifada” with 63% support in a September 2023 poll.

This violent and antisemitic worldview is under the watch and blessing of the United Nations. And the European Union. And the Arab world. And the United States. Each continues to send money to Gaza without demanding major structural changes to the society. Instead, each Gaza backer supports Palestinians’ antisemitic demands denying Jews basic human rights like praying at their holiest location on the Temple Mount, and even living in their holy Old City of Jerusalem.

Now, many are attempting to blame Israel for the terrible physical situation in Gaza, despite long abetting the sickening moral and mental “deformity” of Palestinian society, to quote James Zogby.

It is appalling. Allowing the genocidal group Hamas to run Gaza and its schools for sixteen years has been a crime against humanity, leading directly to the humanitarian values crisis that plagues the region.

Gaza’s humanitarian crisis runs much deeper than the terror tunnels beneath the rubble. It is embedded in the minds and hearts of millions of Palestinian Arabs.
