Over the last five years, the world has been rocked by several wars in Ukraine, Iran, Sudan, and S. Lebanon while Palestine, Gaza in particular and increasingly, the Occupied Palestine, in general, has become Israel’s killing fields.
Amidst talks of the end of the Trans-Atlantic Alliance which has, over the last three decades, outlived its original purpose of containing the Soviet Union, key actors in Europe – UK, Germany, and France, in that order of belligerence, are reviving their centuries-old fear and loathing of Russia. Consequently, the rearmament of the British Isles under the wildly unpopular Prime Ministership of Keir Starmer, Germany under Banker-cum-Chancellor Frederick Merz and the European Union under Right Wing German politician Ursula von der Layen are by all indications pushing for a new Europe-wide militarism aimed at the Russian Federation.
As a matter of fact, Starmer is correctly perceived as the Zionist-puppet and pseudo-Labour politician who had both as Opposition Leader and Prime Minister, as an active collaborator, defended and supported Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza since 7 October jail break in 2023.
In this post, FORSEA is bringing together three perspectives on both European’s increasing bellicosity, in words and deeds, and Israel’s ongoing genocide, with unconditional backing by much of the Western powers, most importantly USA and the European Union, the apartheid pariah state’s main trading partner.
On 9 May, the anti-Fascist, Victory Day across the formerly Nazi-occupied Europe including in the Balkans and Russia, Northern Irish peace activist and the 1976 Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire released her video-recorded call to peace among all European nations. She expressed empathy for both Russians and Ukrainian peoples who have suffered ravages of the unfinished military conflicts between the two former Soviet republics while reminding the world that the 27/28 million Soviet people perished as the result of Nazi Germany’s crime of aggression and, retroactively, multiple genocides against many a different identity-based European populations (including Jews, Sinta and Roma, Jehovah Witnesses, LGBTQs, disabled Germans, Soviet POWs, Poles, Partisans and Leftists of all stripes).
As a devout Christian and a life-long non-violence advocate, Mairead calls for treating different national communities as part of the larger European family. Watch Mairead Maguire’s 9 May (Anti-Fascist Victory Day call for peace in Europe) below.
On the war against Iran watch an informed discussion here. It also touches on the NATO militarism against Russia.
The second perspective comes from Dr John Reuwer, the well-known American doctor from Washington, DC who is a leading member of the Palestinian-led Doctors against Genocide (in Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar and so on). Over the last two decades, Dr Reuwer and his wife have been very supportive of Palestinians’ struggle for liberation from the inherently genocidal European settler colony.
A little over a week ago, Dr Reuwer took part in the Global Sumud Flotilla aimed at breaking Israel’s nearly two decades-old naval blockade, was kidnapped by the Israeli Death Force (IDF) in international waters near Greece along with nearly 200 anti-genocide non-violence activists and had suffered 40-hours of hellish mistreatment in the hands of Israeli navy.

On Dr Reuwer’s first-arrest see Maung Zarni’s Substack dated 30 April 2026. (Please note the Rohingya activist Rais Tin Maung from Canada turned out to be alright. He set sail on the batch of boats that followed Dr Reuwer’s first batch).
It is worth remembering that Israel was established through criminal acts such as the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 indigenous Arab Palestinians, destruction of 11 Arab majority cities and towns and 600 Arab villages, all backed by the two major victors of the Second World War. In the same year of 1948 which saw the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. See Gideon Levy’s Response to Omar Bartov.
Such a European implant was envisaged by its Anglo-American patrons as their colonial proxy to be made up of Europe’s unwanted Jews who would remain loyally dependent on the Western imperialists while serving as the latter’s military proxy in the world’s most energy-strategic region with crucial trade routes. As a result, Israel operates as the world’s sole “Jewish Supremacist” apartheid while financially, politically and propaganda-wise, supported by the majority of the Zionist Jews both inside Israel and in the global diaspora, from USA and Canada to Australia, Argentina and UK, all dominated by Zionist billionaires.
Last but not least, the 3rd perspective comes from Bisan Owda, a young Palestinian citizen journalist who has survived 2.5 years of Israel’s war of extermination against 2.3 million Palestinians inside a narrow area of Gaza. She posted her recording on her Facebook here.
During the most intense period of genocidal destruction and slaughter in her native Gaza, she was known to millions of concerned viewers with her defiant greeting, “Hi Everyone, This is Bisan. I am still alive.” before she went on to report on daily kill, death and destruction in her immediate surroundings.
In her brief but incisive message, the Palestinian genocide survivor reminds the world that “massacres are still taking place in Gaza.” She stressed that Israel kills 15-20 Palestinians (in Gaza) every day, but the numbers are not significant enough for the media to cover Gaza.
In her first-hand knowledge of Israel, she emphasized that “Isreal needs a reason for eternal wars. Not enough people are talking about ceasefire in Gaza. Gaza will be Israel’s next front, (again).”
Watch her 3-minutes appeal for peace and end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza:
While these three individuals come from different national, age and professional backgrounds their messages are rooted in the common language and ethos of humanity. The world must heed their common calls for the end of resurgent militarism and genocide in Gaza/Palestine which are perpetrated or supported by the same European/Western corporate, race supremacist, and imperialist forces.
