The “Dominican Truth” Vs Republican reality of response to mutilated and violated Gaza’s Children
The world is silent or immobilised from complicity and fear as Israel unleashes its darkness on children in Palestine, yet the children retained their light. A child beaming with a smile for the joy of having a doll, which she can’t hug as Israel’s violence had robbed her of her arms. Yet, she responds with an innocent smile at the world, which only watched in silence as darkness was thrown at her.
Dominican way of life focuses on contemplation and action, seeking truth and sharing the fruits of search with others. This process calls for changing social reality based on truth and contemplation. This is what is clearly absent in US State Department’s present call to halt process of issuing visas to visitors from Gaza including children in need for medical care [2].
The sudden move is traced back to
recent post by Republican activist on X social networking site, where she
indicates her concern for US government issuing temporary visas to individuals
from Gaza including children in Gaza seeking medical care in US. According to
her all individuals who come on temporary visas from Gaza, including children
seeking medical care are present or future terrorist and she clubs them all as
“terrorist invaders”.
It is interesting to note that
she has been trained at Barry University, which one of the educational
institutes run by Dominican Nuns, as part of spreading the strength in
Dominican way of life along with mainstream education. Yet, the training at
Barry University did not cut through to bring in study and contemplation in
Republican Laura Loomer’s approach to life.
The Republicans under US
President Donald Trump are not only redefining Democracy and process of its
implementation they are also redefining Christianity and the Christian way of Life.
It is for the absence of truth, study and contemplation, that the right-wing
activist got support for national and international governance intervention
based on a simple biased prejudiced post on X [3]. That speaks volumes on US
state of Governance, at present. The US President is making clear his contempt
not just for Democracy but Christianity as well.
There is another aspect to this
reality which will be interesting as it unveils. This is SCOTUS's response to the
course of events, for it would be clear proof of its complicity to Israel’s war
crimes and acts of genocide. For a simple documentation of socio-medical
history of children from Gaza, seeking medical treatment in US would reveal a
complex reality of war crimes and acts against humanity. Just focusing on a)
social context, providing descriptive facts on reality of instances which led
them to be injured, b) the history of
medical care received and denied in Palestine because of contextual reality,
and c) social context of the children and their families would together go a
long way to indicate war crimes committed in Gaza by Israel and with US support
given to Israel to sustain these war crimes. It will highlight the layered
false narrative US has been building and asserting at UN when US Ambassadors
blocked calls for ceasefire at UN and all the while denying scope for war
crimes, acts against humanity and genocide by Israel. Such a documentation
would induce the need for SCOTUS to act, for evidence would be objective,
measurable and links to violence and war crimes clear. It would require SCOTUS
to take a stand and respond, or it can ignore and be complicit in war crimes
and other acts of genocide committed by Israel in Gaza, as the US government
is.
Under such circumstance the
denial of medical care for children in Gaza would be an admission to complicity with
Israel by US Institutions of Justice.
