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.

And yet that same campaign, and the dreadful crimes it has encompassed, continue unabated.
