Israel has started bombing the Gaza Strip again. Israel does not hesitate to bomb innocent Palestinians, even during the holy month of Ramadan. Last week, it bombed civilian buildings and hospitals full of patients and tents of refugees and killed hundreds of innocent children and women. The world remains silent about the ongoing genocide. Neither their Arab or Muslim brethren nor the international community has done something to save the innocent Palestinian people from Israeli oppression.

Although observers have been expecting a more effective reaction from Arab governments and citizens, they have largely remained indifferent to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, living not only in the Gaza Strip but also in the West Bank. The streets of Arab states are unexpectedly very quiet compared with the streets of many non-Arab and non-Muslim countries.
