One unanticipated outcome of the recent flareup in the #MiddleEast is that it appears to have put the final nail in the coffin of the #ClownWorldOrder by making it clear that the so-called “rules-based order” does not actually have any genuine principles or rules, thereby ensuring widespread global preference for the sovereign nations of the #Multipolarity over the #Imperial #USA and its occupied #satrapies.
Attempts by the #US and its allies to “paint #Moscow as a global pariah” have been “poisoned” by the rush to support Israeli retaliation against #Hamas in #Gaza, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing more than a dozen officials.
“We have definitely lost the battle in the Global South,” one senior #G7 diplomat was quoted as saying. “All the work we have done with the Global South [over Ukraine] has been lost… Forget about rules, forget about world order. They won’t ever listen to us again.”
“What we said about #Ukraine has to apply to #Gaza. Otherwise we lose all our credibility,” the official added. “The Brazilians, the South Africans, the Indonesians: why should they ever believe what we say about human rights?”
West ‘lost’ Global South over Israel, 18 October 2023
Now, this is apparently shocking news to the inhabitants of #ClownWorld as well as its rulers, but it was always inevitable. The “Israel exception” to decades of baseless assertions about #democracy and #human-rights and respect for #indigenous peoples was never going to survive the #Internet anyhow, nor was “the plight of the poor, oppressed #Jewish people who never did nothing bad to nobody” ever going to cut any ice with anyone but high-trust, soft-hearted ignoramuses with no sense of #history.
And it’s a particularly bad look for #Israel to be observed to be “defending itself” by continuously #expanding its #territory. Considering that a significant percentage of the #GlobalSouth has historical experience with #violent #colonization of its ancestral lands, it should not be much of a surprise that there is a natural tendency for them to instinctively side with the #Palestinians. Indeed, many #Jews supported the #blacks in #SouthAfrica on much flimsier historical claims than those possessed by the Palestinians.
But as the Financial Times points out, it is the #juxtaposition of #ClownWorld’s position on the #Russia-Ukraine situation with the #Israel-Palestinian situation that has probably been the most harmful. Ukraine’s #crimes against the #Russians in the #Donbass, and the 14,400 Russians killed there between 2014 and 2022, far exceed the various crimes committed by Hamas in the same timeframe, and yet the #global #media has spent the last 19 months decrying Russian actions that have been considerably more restrained than the total #ethnic #cleansing of the Palestinians now being threatened all over social media in response to a single Hamas raid.
Clown World is dying. One hopes the #GreatPowers of the Multipolarity will use their power and influence in a more circumspect and generally beneficial manner once it is gone.
