Western leaders call for diplomacy, but they won’t stop this war – they refuse to even name its cause | Nesrine Malik
SThe war began on Gaza, and the distinctive dynamism of anger, panic and warning from the public was about a quiet political center. The weak response of the prevailing liberal parties is perfectly proportional to the danger of the moment. as The United States joins Israel to attack IranThe Middle East is heading towards catastrophic collapse, the most associated palaces ever. They are traveling in the Israeli war, either they resigned from the consequences or are not intended mainly even to question its wisdom. While the reality shouts on politicians all over the West, they mix the papers and heat the old discourse, all while it is narrated to Israel and the White House, which has long took a vacation from their senses.
At a time of severe geopolitical risks, the center presents itself as a wise party in Fraas, which raises calls for wonderful heads and diplomacy, but it is completely unable to address or challenge the root issue. Some fear until you call it. Israel has disappeared from the account, and left only a painful crisis and Iran threatened. British Prime Minister, Kiir Starmer, has He called for an escalation to cancel. But he pointed to the escalation he wants to avoid – the United States’s involvement – as the “wrong threat” that Iran poses, all the time building UK forces in the Middle East.
European Commission President, Ursula von der Lin, It emphasizes the importance of diplomacy Ensure that Iran is the “main source” of instability in the region. It seems that the French President, Emmanuel Macron, was inhabiting the real world, Warning of inevitable chaos This will change the regime in Iran and repeat the mistakes of the past. But by Sunday It was France I fell into the lineJoin the choir that calls for the abolition of escalation and self -control in mysterious general phrases, and the repetition of the “firm opposition” of the Iranian nuclear program.
If this looks crazy about you, let me reassure you that you are not really missing. The war with Iran is very bad news, and it provides a number of destabilizing scenarios: changing the regime with no plan after day, leaving a large cadre of armed military and security forces; Assembly in the Western Military Forces area, which can become targets and flash points; Or simply a long drain war that would seize the area and open a large wound of anger and militarization. It is also – and this is something of Israel’s attacks that led us to kill – Hundreds of innocent people. Nothing about the fact that, above all the existing risks, illegal.
But most Western leaders continue to treat it as just another unfortunate, but ultimately fixed facts in the world. Here is the basin at the heart of the full response to Israel during the year and a half last year – a vacant center. Trump is Trump. Nobody expects him to have a coherent response, courage and stability to Israel. But the problem precedes it: a political creation of liberal and reliable liberal stability basins that have no moral compass, and do not care about the criteria that claim continuous support. Under its hour, international law and human rights have been violated repeatedly in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. Her answer was to get out of the way of Israel at best, arming it and providing it with the diplomatic cover in the worst case. Joe Biden’s management has identified the tone, followed by European governments. Collectively, they clung to the current situation of unconditional support for Israel, and thus destroyed the legal and moral agreements that drink them with any measure of integrity or power.
However, they still continue in the debris. Their statements about the importance of diplomacy seem like echoes of an era that has long been – one before the demolition of the genocide known in any form of a coherent law system. What the current moment has revealed is a set of systems that are not appropriate mainly for the crisis, and only suitable for management; A crop of politicians whose role is to rethink or challenge what things are, but simply to care for geopolitical traffic. Their mandate is already stability, but only in the sense of lock in the global order Fellow assumptions and hierarchical sequences. It is not the one who made the world a better place, but to throw a crust of credibility about the reason for the need to live in this worse.
This should not be confused with “pragmatism”. The pragmatism means that there is no acquired position or interest. What is obscured by the hesitant participation language is that it is supported by beliefs that are not defined by values, but through tribal excellence. Iran is a country, in the eyes of a liberal institution, not completely sovereign because it has diverged from Western interests. It has no right to respond when the attack (and in fact, You should show restraint When it is). Its people are not entitled to a careful study of their future, or indeed the entire region. Israel, on the other hand, is of great sovereignty, and never takes place.
This hypothetical position is very naked in its hypocrisy, very ignorant and narrow in his view of the world, very clear in its ignorance of human life, so that it represents a tremendous erosion of the development in political discourse, and the lowest new level in the contempt of the public. Israel’s support can only be defended through references that challenge logic to its right to defend itself even when the aggressor, and Iran. “A threat to the free worldForgive me, but this free world that has supported unilateral attacks on four regions from the Middle East by Israel, which is the state of its leader Required by the International Criminal Court? At this stage, the biggest threat to the free world is the same, which will sacrifice everything to ensure that there is no single challenge to its power.
The end result is that these leaders were not only not responsible, but they are not underestimating, unable and not willing to even manufacture approval anymore. Fasting nihilism has been taken. The credit in the governments of the center and the political parties is more and more than the public, which is announced in Europe a The level of historically low support for Israel. In the United States (including Trump supporters), majority He opposes participation in the war with Iran. Thus, the gap between the separate policy and the bloody reality expands further. Western domination managers scrutinize a vacuum, and they all take us with them.
