Dehumanization does not happen in an instant, nor is it reactionary and isolated incidents. It is systematically planned as a strategy to achieve the goal of annihilation; it needs to permeate all aspects of being alive and there by engulfing all associations be it institutional, community based, formal, informal or even being invasive into abstract realities and association that make us human.  Israel has been planning systematically, ways and means of dehumanizing Palestinian, it is not a response after 7th October but has been going on from the time of birth of Israel, the difference is only in scale and speed of dehumanizing acts being carried out. While the western media and governments desperately try to rationalize the acts of Israel or indicate it to be a mistake, they are failing miserably as they know what they say is devoid of truth and rationality, and Israel continues in its journey of dehumanization as it competes with itself for mastering the skills.

When Holocaust happened, it was left to human imagination to visualize the pain and trauma, it felt inhuman and surreal for many who were outside the European circle and had limited interaction with Jewish community.  Now, when war crimes find a spot in most social media outlets, when mainstream media takes extra care to ensure the sensitivity of Israel and Israeli are not ruffled, voices from Palestine are silenced and even when heard it is against background of assertion of right of Israel to self-defence.  As a person who has always stood for the rights of vulnerable groups, have a few questions to great democracies that sit and lecture to other countries on human rights, justice, equality and freedom. You never fail to see the Israel right to security and sovereignty, but you never say a word about Palestine's rights. Wh
