Genocide is the worst. They were supposed to be despised and hated in every country; But not so because even if the world calls genocide as the worst, it does not include everything in its definition. For example, most of the Western world does not agree to call Israel's aggression against Palestine as genocide. Even though voices were raised against it, the institutional protest and response did not happen as it should, and is not happening. As a result, apart from some isolated protests, everyone is largely unresponsive to it. As a result, Israeli aggression continues.

It is called the Israeli-Palestinian 'war'. But war is not supposed to be bilateral. After the attack by the Palestinian separatist organization Hamas, Israel has only carried out unilateral aggression, where the victims are the ordinary Palestinian people; women and children. Women and children also fall in the ranks of common people, but they have to be talked about differently, are spoken about differently, have different laws, policies and customs around the world. There are also organizations. Even after all this, the aggression did not stop. Could not be closed. There is a voice in the demand for closure, but there is a question about sincerity.

Eight months into the Israeli attack on Gaza, Palestine. At least 37,000 people have lost their lives in this ongoing aggression since the first week of October last year. The reality outside of this official information is usually more difficult. The number of people who lost their lives is out of consideration, the reports of innumerable people injured, there is huge loss of property, which is largely irreparable. Also, when this Israeli aggression has been going on for years without interruption, it is hard to imagine that it will stop anytime soon.

The 'death pit' is much of Gaza. The World Health Organization is talking about a humanitarian disaster in the besieged Gaza. Al Jazeera, a Qatar-based media outlet, quoted the World Health Organization as saying that 15,694 children have been killed so far in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. More than 17 thousand children lost their parents. More than 8,000 children under the age of five suffer from inadequate food and malnutrition. The organization said that there is a catastrophic hunger and famine situation. At least 37,000 people have been killed and at least 85,000 more Palestinian citizens have been injured in this attack by Israel. On the other hand, the number of dead in Israel has reached 1139.

The Israeli-Palestinian issue is called a 'war', but whether it falls under the definition of war is not strongly debated. The issue defined in this way is because there is a mentality of giving concessions to Israel in the name of war. However, even if the war means two sides fighting against each other, there is a one-sided aggression in Palestine, and there is no possibility of the Palestinians winning here. Here the Israelis are waging unilateral aggression, and the Palestinians are just fighting for their lives. So while it may not be called a war, the tricks of the globalists and their overt and overt affection for Israel are at work. Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. However, the definition of genocide changes here.

Bangladesh has always raised its voice against Israel's aggression in Palestine. Bangladesh's unwavering support for an independent Palestine dates back to the days of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. No matter who comes to power in Bangladesh at this time, this support has not changed. Bangladesh's support for the oppressed Palestinians is very spiritual. There are questions of human rights, there are religious sensitivities.

This time, Bangladesh is playing its best role against Israeli aggression. The protest said that the United Nations has also played a role according to its capacity. Despite the fact that most of the Western world, including the United States and the United Kingdom, are direct supporters of Israeli aggression, this role of Bangladesh is bold and noteworthy. During the last elections, the government protested against the Israeli aggression in Palestine, despite various domestic and foreign pressures. This role of the Awami League government must be remembered despite the uncertainty of its own position. But the government was under a lot of pressure. At that time, we saw that the political parties who did politics on religion, even the BNP did not say anything if they said anything against Israel only because of the fear of "America will be angry". But we are historically united on the question of the rightful demands and rights of the Palestinians.

Israel is violating human rights in Palestine. Bangladesh is not silent even though it is very flexible without being in a position to influence the world conscience. As far as Bangladesh has done its best, the people have support here. Apart from the role of the state, the anger spread among the people of Bangladesh is all against Israel. The influence here is mostly religious sensitivities. However, there is no conflict between religion and politics in humanitarian calls; The relationship is only spiritual.

In any case people are vocal against Israel's aggression, tough on crimes against humanity—is this analysis possible, should we be satisfied here? Let us answer - 'no'! Because as long as the crime against humanity is not considered as aggression against humanity, there will be obstacles in different areas including religion, race, caste; the path of equality will be gradually narrowed. Although some sense of indiscretion is embodied here, it should be brought to the fore by implying the question of divisive sensibilities in the human aspect.

Israel's aggression in Palestine cannot therefore be considered in religious terms. Thus, instead of opening up the avenues of consideration, the human aspect should be brought forward here. A mass murderer should be called a mass murderer. Not only in Palestine, but also in the world where human rights violations and genocides occur

At the same time, it should be kept in mind that we were also victims of genocide. During the Great Liberation War of 1971, Pakistan carried out genocide in Bangladesh.

If Israel continues to commit genocide in Palestine, so do the Pakistanis who commit genocide against us. The genocide of the Pakistanis should not be hidden in the genocide of Israel!
