Spanish writer: The spectators of the Gaza genocide are the problem, not Greta Thunberg.

The Spanish newspaper El País published an article by writer Elian Brom discussing the suffering of the people of Gaza from the war waged by Israel for over two years, and she questioned: How can the inaction of governments to stop the crimes in the besieged territory be explained?

The writer quoted Leticia Forlan, a psychologist with Doctors Without Borders, recounting the story of a child who lost his leg due to the bombing in Gaza, who confirmed that he felt immense sadness when he lost his leg and stayed in his family's store because he did not want to see anyone.

The child continued: "But when I had to return to the hospital, I realized on the way and in the hospital that most of the people in Gaza now look like me; almost all of them have lost a leg or an arm, so it's okay."

According to the writer, Palestinians have been forced to accept an agreement that "humiliates them again and makes them sovereign-less in their homeland," as it was the only means to prevent Israel from continuing to kill them until no one remains.

They had to accept it due to the inaction of many countries, especially European ones, in providing the necessary support to them.

Elian Brom asked: "How can, in the third decade of the 21st century, the inaction of governments be explained? Palestinians do not need empty speeches while Israelis are turning their bodies into human rubble."

The writer noted that unlike the Nazi genocide, which was hidden from the eyes of the majority in a time without the internet, the mass destruction of Palestinians has been documented daily through video, audio, and text by the victims' families, medical frameworks, and journalists who risked their lives to cover it, with at least 252 of them killed by Israeli forces.

Brom continued that the scene regarding Palestine includes three parties: the killers, the dead, and the spectators.

She added: "We, the spectators, have become a people trapped in feelings of shame, anger, and helplessness, confined in our vulnerabilities, in a sensitivity mixed with fear and awe, followed by a gradual numbness towards the spectacle itself."

The writer pointed out that contrary to the repeated accusations directed at the fleets heading to Gaza that they aim for "showboating," these fleets have exposed the transformation of genocide into a spectacle for onlookers, breaking the paralysis and mobilizing humanitarian response worldwide.

The writer mentioned that activist Greta Thunberg has faced repeated attacks from members of the Israeli government and has encountered numerous insults online for her solidarity with the Palestinians.

When she was released, U.S. President Donald Trump described her as a "troublemaker" and advised her to see a doctor "to manage her anger."

The writer questioned: "But is Greta the problem? Aren't the spectators supposed to be the problem, those who daily consent through their inaction to the bombing of children or their death by starvation?"

The writer believes that people have a collective opportunity to stop playing the role of spectators, as peace will not be achieved if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government members are not held accountable for their crimes and do not end their lives in prison.

If genocide remains unpunished, there will be no peace not only for Palestine but for the entire world.
