Collateral consequences of the war in Gaza

13 May 2024

But isn't that always that way? Was it after all the majority of students who took part in the student uprising against the Colonels' dictatorship in Greece? Students at American universities are protesting against the mass killing of civilians in Gaza and against the stance taken by successive US administrations which have funded, armed and acted as the ultimate protector of the state of Israel,. [...] The woke left of the Democratic Party are trying to restrict freedom of speech in the name of historical injustices and/or of protecting oppressed minorities, while the rabid attacks of the Trumpist right are reminiscent of McCarthyism. [...] This applies to both the slaughter wrought by Hamas on 7 October last year and to the ongoing massacre of civilians in Gaza by the Israeli army, of course also to the violence exerted in the occupied Palestinian territories for decades. [...] As the war in Gaza continues and the number of victims grows by the day, the collateral consequences of the war will extend much further. [...] The West stands accused of double standards in the way it has dealt with the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which has seriously impacted its credibility with the rest of the world.
