With this introduction, writer Pierre Hase opened his column in Loops magazine, explaining that public opinion in the southern countries, and even governments, embrace the issue of the residents of Gaza who have been dying under Israeli bombing for nearly 3 months, asking Westerners: Where did your talk about the law, war crimes, and justice go?
Thus, the brutality of the Israeli response, and the images of Palestinian civilian victims spread across social networks, create an untenable situation for those who defend Ukraine in the name of the law in the face of Russian aggression, as if opinions in the South and even among some Westerners are saying, “Don’t give us any more.” Moral lessons.

Hypocritical silence
What is strange – as Huskey says – is that the United States delivers ammunition to Israel, and it is used veto Twice against the request for a ceasefire in Gaza, and at the same time criticizing the Israeli strategy and the number of civilian casualties, which makes its position incomprehensible, and makes the rest of the world wonder, if you do not agree to it, why do you give Israel the necessary means to continue with it?
Like the United States, the Europeans declare their unconditional support for Israel, in a way that contradicts their assessment that its response is disproportionate, and their timid calls for a ceasefire do not seem to reach public opinion in that south, which believes that Europe maintains its hypocritical silence when the victims are non-Europeans.
Huskey: We cannot condemn Russian expansion in Ukraine, while at the same time turning a blind eye to settlement in the West Bank, because the world is watching us.
The writer concluded that humanitarian aid, although important, is not enough to change the perception of Western complicity in the killing of Gaza’s children, and Westerners will not be able to restore their credibility except through seriousness when they talk about a political solution and two states.
Huskey concluded that the test is not only in Gaza, but also in… West BankThe case is not related to the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation), but rather By settlement And the bloody struggle for land and space. We will not be able to condemn Russian expansion in Ukraine, and at the same time turn a blind eye to settlement in the West Bank, because the world is watching us.
