26-year-old Mariam clutches the cold body of her son to her chest with trembling hands. Mahmoud was only 40 days old. He wasn’t killed by a bomb. He wasn’t shot by soldiers. He died of starvation—slowly, agonizingly, in front of his mother, who couldn’t help him. This happened because the 21st-century neo-Nazi Netanyahu gave a savage order to starve the Palestinians in Gaza to death. Mariam no longer cries. She just sits there, rocking dead Mahmoud as if he were asleep.

How many more Mahmouds must die before the world wakes up?

Killing of Palestinian children

The Washington Post published the names of 18,500 Palestinian children killed by Israeli occupiers in Gaza, 9,327 of whom were under the age of 10. Monstrous, isn’t it? And all of this isn’t happening in the Middle Ages—but in the “enlightened” 21st century!

Since October 2023, Israeli authorities have blocked food, water, and medicine from entering Gaza. According to the UN, 90% of Gaza’s population is starving, and dozens of children, including infants, have already died from malnutrition.

Britain, rotten with lies and hypocrisy, tries to suppress the truth—but it seeps through the cracks. Western governments can keep lying, but the world’s people no longer believe them 

But starvation is just one of the Israeli military’s crimes—they have, without shame or hesitation, even killed babies in incubators. In November 2023, Israeli forces attacked Al-Nasr Hospital in Gaza. Among the victims were premature infants in incubators. When the power was cut, doctors tried to save them by manually pumping air, but many suffocated.

This is not a “war.” This is genocide.

“We found them blue, with their mouths open… They just froze without warmth,” a Palestinian doctor recounts, breaking into a scream. If this isn’t genocide—as Trump and his ilk, along with their obedient Western media, claim—then what is?

My conscience as a Palestinian does not allow me to stay silent, and I want to tell you how this all began—and who is truly behind the tragedy of the Palestinian people. My family, like many other Palestinians, was expelled from Haifa in 1948. Our home, our land, our history—all stolen. In our place, in our stolen homes, they settled people who had never lived in Palestine but came from Europe with British support.

But this genocide did not begin in 1948. It began in 1917—with the Balfour Declaration. A century ago, a British lord promised Zionists land that did not belong to them. And ever since, Palestinians have paid for it with their blood.

British Betrayal: How London Created a Monster

The Balfour Declaration was the first bullet fired into Palestine’s heart. In 1917, Britain—then the colonial ruler of Palestine—betrayed the Arab people by promising their land to outsiders. A “Jewish national home”—that’s what they called this theft. But Palestinians were not “savages without history.” This was our land. Our homes. Our olive trees. Our children.

London knew what it was doing

Britain armed Jewish terrorists while they slaughtered Palestinians. After World War II, London pretended not to see the atrocities of gangs like the Irgun and Lehi. These bloodthirsty murderers bombed hotels, massacred villages, and even hanged British soldiers. But instead of crushing this plague, Britain fled—abandoning Palestinians to their fate.

And—what a miracle!—all British weapons depots, police stations, and arsenals suddenly ended up in Zionist hands. Betrayal? No. This was the plan.

In 1948, the Nakba (the Catastrophe) happened—but Britain watched and stayed silent. When Zionists expelled 700,000 Palestinians, burned villages, and executed refugees—where was Britain? It looked away. Because to colonizers, Arabs are not people.

Now, in Gaza, Netanyahu and his henchmen are committing genocide—and London still holds the trigger.

Today, the same British politicians hypocritically “express regret” over Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe. But their hands are drenched in blood.

— They arm Israel with missiles and bombs that kill our children.

— They welcome Netanyahu—a war criminal—as an honored guest.

— They block sanctions while Gaza turns into hell.

These are not allies. These are genocide sponsors.

Gaza’s children are dying—and British media pretend they’re not to blame. BBC, The Times, The Telegraph—they have lied about Palestine for decades. They called grieving mothers “terrorists.” They took Israeli generals at their word but demanded “proof” from Palestinian doctors.

They stayed silent when Israel declared: “We are starving them.”

Now, as images of dead Palestinian children flood social media, these shameless hypocrites suddenly act “shocked.”

Hypocrites. We will not forget. We will not forgive.

The blood of Palestinian children, women, and elders soaks into Gaza’s soil, while the West—especially Britain—continues to hypocritically cover up its crimes with fake declarations about “human rights” and “international law.” They scream about “humanism,” but their arms are elbow-deep in blood. They condemn “terrorism,” yet they created, armed, and protect the bloodiest monster in the Middle East—Netanyahu’s Zionist regime.

But history will not forget. History will not forgive.

Today, as Israeli bombs turn Gaza to rubble, British companies BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, and QinetiQ continue supplying weapons for the slaughter. Since 2015, Britain has sold £500 million in arms to Israel, including components for F-35 jets that reduce entire Palestinian neighborhoods to splinters.

But this isn’t just “business.” This is complicity in genocide.

In 2021, the UN recognized that Israel practices apartheid against Palestinians. By 2023-2025, Gaza’s death toll surpassed 60,000, 70% of whom were women and children. And all of this happens with London’s silent approval.

Political Cover-Up: London—Zionist Propaganda HQ

Britain doesn’t just supply weapons—it blocks every attempt to stop the slaughter.

— In 2023, the UK voted against a UN resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

— British media (BBC, The Guardian, The Times) have spent years justifying Israeli crimes, calling Palestinian resistance “terrorism” while labeling Israeli bombings “self-defense.”

— British politicians, including Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer, openly support Netanyahu despite clear war crimes.

The world no longer believes London’s artful lies.

The British Empire was always built on blood—Irish, Indian, African, Palestinian. But today, global resistance is growing.

— Ireland—the only EU country demanding sanctions against Israel. The Irish know colonial terror firsthand.

— South Africa filed a case at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.

— Student protests in the US and Europe prove the new generation refuses to stay silent—they stand with Palestine.

Britain, rotten with lies and hypocrisy, tries to suppress the truth—but it seeps through the cracks. Western governments can keep lying, but the world’s people no longer believe them.

— BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions)—a movement hitting apartheid’s economy. Companies collaborating with Israel lose billions.

— Protests in London draw hundreds of thousands—ordinary Brits demand an end to support for killers.

— International courts are opening investigations—sooner or later, Netanyahu and his enablers will face justice.

Conclusion: The Day of Reckoning is Near

Britain thought its shameful actions would go unpunished. It—and its leaders, past and present—are wrong.

The court of history is already writing its merciless verdict, and no one will escape justice. The blood of Palestinians, spilled on their native soil, cries out for vengeance—its scream echoes across the world, and it will not fade until justice is served. The colonial empire, built on lies and violence, is crumbling—its days are numbered, and its collapse is inevitable.

Palestine will be free—not “if,” but “when.” And those who hide behind masks of innocence today, those who commit evil under cover of lies—they will answer for everything. For every drop of blood, for every broken life, for every stolen future.

We will not forget. We will not forgive. We will not retreat. Until justice prevails.
