Nearly two years after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks and Israel’s retaliatory strikes in Gaza, the death toll has surpassed 70,000, sparking global outrage. In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Professor Adam Habib, Vice-Chancellor of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), condemned Israel’s actions as “genocidal,” calling the ongoing crisis a “damning indictment of humanity.”
A ‘Politically Orchestrated Famine’
Habib accused Israel of enabling a “politically orchestrated famine,” warning that the nation risks being “haunted by images of Gaza for decades.” He criticized Israel’s government for being “a prisoner of right-wing chauvinist politics,” urging global leaders to act before more lives are lost.
UK’s Rightward Shift: A Global Trend? 🇬🇧
Beyond Gaza, Habib highlighted the UK’s political shift toward conservatism, reflecting a broader global trend. His analysis resonates with young voters and activists worldwide who are increasingly vocal about human rights and accountability.
As the conflict drags on, Habib’s stark warnings serve as a wake-up call: “The scale of murder broadcast on television is unacceptable.” Will the world listen? 🌍✊
