In the midst of relentless bombings, Palestinian families are mourning the loss of their children. Historian Vijay Prashad emphasizes that Gaza's tragic situation underscores the apparent collapse of the \"rules-based international order.\" According to Prashad, the international community's inaction reveals that the concept might be more U.S. rhetoric than reality.
Prashad questions the selective media coverage, pointing out that had the conflict involved Ukraine, it would have received extensive attention and condemnation. This disparity raises critical questions about the value placed on Palestinian lives and the genuine commitment to global justice and equity.
The ongoing violence in Gaza not only devastates countless lives but also challenges the foundational principles that many nations claim to uphold. As the world watches, the pressing need for a more consistent and fair international response becomes increasingly evident.
