OVER recent days, the governments of Britain and the US have called for “restraint and de-escalation” in the Middle East. At the same time, they are also claiming that the Israeli government has their “full support.”
This inherent contradiction in their positions serves only to further fuel the growing danger of the eruption of a catastrophic regional war — one that could very easily escalate into a global conflict and a World War III scenario.
Since October 2023, the Israeli state has been engaged in a genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people in Gaza, which has been condemned by the International Court of Justice, humanitarian agencies, and righteous-thinking people around the world. And yet that same campaign, and the dreadful crimes it has encompassed, continue unabated.
