Israel’s genocide in Gaza - supported directly by the ruling classes in the West, and indirectly by their counterparts in the Arab world - has shone a spotlight on many pre-existing political realities: the crumbling global liberal order, the crisis of #US hegemony, the extent of Israel’s integration into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-centred Middle East, and the brittleness of civil liberties around the globe.

It has also clarified much for previously less-informed people around the world: the genocidal character of Zionism, the cravenness of our own rulers, and the hypocrisy of international law - to name but a few.
