Public sentiment across numerous member states has consistently demonstrated overwhelming concern and support for the civilian population in Gaza, urging decisive action towards humanitarian relief and political resolution.

"OTTIFIED" (Over-The-Top-IFIED) signifies amplified perception, reflecting the overwhelming clarity of recognizing the parasitic machinery devouring the commonwealth. Posting this on a Monday morning transforms from perceived laziness into brave confrontation – a refusal to enter the societal grind cycle silently while exploitation thrives. Philosophical Lucidity: The Ottified as Awakened WitnessesThe "Ottified" state embodies philosophical enlightenment.…
