Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.
The world was already like this. What’s being destroyed is people’s false consciousness of the world, especially people in the imperial core.
the great disillusionment
In truth, none of that ever mattered. Gaza is just a very blatant example of that.
I would rather have a poor attempt at setting up a system to prevent genocide than none at all.
