It is no secret that wars in the world cause destruction, massive violations of human rights and derail the international humanitarian situation. Nevertheless, there are players in the world who look at wars from a completely different angle - from the point of view of interests.  

For the merchants of war, the suffering of various nations pales in comparison to the billions of dollars in profits from arms sales.  

Unfortunately, those who pretend to be defenders of human rights in the international arena are actually active participants in the global arms trade.  

According to the Geneva Academy, there are currently more than a hundred armed conflicts around the world. Most of these conflicts are taking place in the Global South, although most of them are financed or directed by Western powers or multinational corporations.

According to the academy, 45 of the 110 armed conflicts are in the Middle East and North Africa region, 35 in the rest of Africa, 21 in Asia and 6 in Latin America.

The worst of these armed conflicts is currently taking place in Gaza, one of the world's poorest and most isolated regions.

To estimate future deaths from Israeli atrocities, The Lancet, one of the world's leading medical journals, conducted a study called "Gaza Death Count Hard But Necessary."

Israel is estimated to have killed 37,396 Palestinians as of June 19, when the number was calculated by the number of deaths.  

If the war ends on June 19, 7.9 percent of the population of Gaza will die from the war and its consequences. The magazine estimates that this amounts to "186,000 or more deaths."

Palestinians are being killed not by some unknown virus or natural disaster, but by weapons supplied to Israel despite international protests.

On January 26 of this year, the International Criminal Court declared that there was sufficient evidence to show that a mass massacre had been committed in Gaza. On May 20, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, said that "civilians are being killed on purpose."

Despite this, the supply of weapons to the invaders does not stop. Ironically, most of them are delivered by Western governments, who threaten human rights violations in underdeveloped countries. The main sources of weapons are located in the United States, Germany, Italy and Great Britain.  

Some European countries are delaying the ban despite announcing that they will reduce or even stop arms supplies to Israel. For example, Italy is insisting on compliance with "previously signed orders" and the UK has stopped processing arms export licenses "until a wider review is carried out".

However, Washington remains the main player supplying arms to Tel Aviv. In 2016, the US signed a pact to provide $38 billion in military aid to Israel. This third pact signed between the two countries covers the period from 2018 to 2028.

However, the war led US politicians to renege on their original commitments and allocate another $26 billion to Israel, despite the fact that the victims of the war were mostly women and children.

As the hypocritical US government calls on Israel to end the war in Gaza, the Zionists are even more   continues to provide more weapons.  

The same hypocrisy applies to other Western countries that portray themselves as defenders of human rights and international peace.  

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, six Western countries are among the world's top ten arms exporters from 2019 to 2023. The United States alone accounts for 42 percent of global arms exports, followed by France with 11 percent of arms sales.  

The total arms exports of the six largest Western countries account for 79% of the global share.

If we take into account that most of the armed conflicts are taking place in the Global South, the Western countries led by the US, which claimed peace, democracy and protection of international law, have now become an organization supporting war, armed conflicts and genocide.  

The Global South must fight against this blatant injustice in order to take control of its future. States should not allow their continent to become a mere market for Western weapons. The blood of Arabs, Africans, Asians and South Americans should not be shed to save the economy of Western countries.

It is true that limiting the arms trade alone is not enough to stop global conflicts. Nevertheless, the free flow of weapons into conflict zones from Gaza to Sudan and from the Congo to Myanmar is grist to the mill of war.

It is possible to continue arguing that Israel and Myanmar should respect human rights. But the West, in addition to boosting its economy by selling weapons of death, also escapes responsibility for the deaths of innocent people.
