Gaza's Tragedy Exposes Hypocrisy in Global Politics, Says Historian
As Gaza mourns children lost to relentless bombings, historian Vijay Prashad argues the so-called 'rules-based international order' is a facade. 'If this were Ukraine, headlines would scream outrage,' he notes, highlighting stark disparities in global media coverage. 🕊️💔
While Western leaders emphasize solidarity with Kyiv, Palestinian lives often seem reduced to footnotes. Prashad likens the double standard to 'geopolitical TikTok trends'—selective outrage shaped by power, not principle. 'U.S. rhetoric doesn’t match reality,' he asserts.
Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
Young activists worldwide are amplifying Gaza’s plight on social media, demanding accountability. But as bodies pile up, many ask: Why does justice feel optional? 🤔⚖️ 'This isn’t just about Gaza,' says a student organizer in Jakarta. 'It’s about who gets to be human in the eyes of the powerful.'
