Gaza spearhead against tyranny

Everyone must face up to battle against genocide

- by SERENA WYLDE

THE Palestinians' struggle for survival is at the forefront of the fight against the tyranny encircling us, but they are in the trenches suffering monumental losses.

It is a battle we cannot afford to lose, because the energy of zionism knows no limits. Palestine is where we must turn the tables, because this is not a religious conflict - it is a testing-ground, not only of weaponry and surveillance techniques, but of how far barbarism and depravity can go to destroy humanity while the world looks on without halting or punishing it.

Like a volcano erupting, its smouldering lava is cascading down for all to see, exposing the hypocrisy of politicians and the complacency of those who believe non-engagement means it will not affect them. One might say we are being presented with an opportunity to finally break the ring of elite corruption and impunity. Certainly every citizen is being presented with a choice as to which course they take, as it becomes evident we are living in a terrorist state that arbitrarily arrests its citizens.
