Je suis Palestinian

Governments in the Western world were galvanised by the "Je suis Charlie" ("I am Charlie") slogan after the shooting at the office of the ill-famous sleazy French magazine in Paris in 2015 by Muslim extremists, which ended in twelve of its staff members being killed. The attack was a consequential reaction to a cartoon of Islam's Holy Prophet (PBUH) that the magazine published. It was blasphemous in its content and offensive to the Muslims. The Charlie Hebdo incident has been recalled to expose the duplicitous position of these governments when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians. The fact that there has been only muted reaction at best from the governments of the countries that claim to be the self-appointed keepers of moral values and ethics, and upholders of human rights all over the globe, to what has been termed as a genocide in Gaza, betrays their two-faced double-speak.
