HITLER must be jubilant in his grave to know and see that finally his real successor has emerged on the global scene in the shape of Zionist Israel; a successor which not only follows his ideals, but has also outdone him in his policy of vicious ethnic cleansing, a successor that has achieved in four months what Hitler could achieve in as many years. The victims of Holocaust have forced people around the world to forget the historical episode and worry about the New Holocaust in Gaza.

However, one phenomenon remains puzzling. If Nato could stop the genocide of Bosnians in the mid-1990s by bombing the Serbs, why has the world not moved an inch towards stopping the genocide of innocent civilian Palestinians? If anything, the United States twice vetoed United Nations resolutions calling for a ceasefire. With over 28,000 people dead, including thousands of children, the US and its allies in the West have blood on their hands.

The only entity the world has witnessed earning respect across the board in this whole episode is South Africa, which brought the matter before the Interna-tional Court of Justice at The Hague. One can only hope that the Muslim world will one day wake up from its slumber and do something it should have done long ago.
