Like a gut punch. Painful and all too real.

'...unless we shatter the malicious grip of those who believe might makes right.'

The true way to bring down the purely evil Western empire and the war machine is through people's power.

Average citizens not only from the global South but especially the global North need to voice out their strong opposition to the madness unfolding right now and all the hugely irresponsible warmongering.

It's also important that in doing so, citizens from both these sides recognize their shared goals and feel a sense of solidarity.

I think that type of awareness and connection is crucial in defeating the empire and its leaders.

I don't have much hope for people in the West. I think the only hope comes from the Global South once the awakening reaches a critical mass.

💯. New rules to be written for human rights and international order - this time with the Global South truly represented, if not leading.

Karim, are you aware of BRICS? https://infobrics.org/

It's what much of the rest of the world is doing to counter Israel and its allies.

I know BRICS. I live in a BRICS country, China. Unfortunately it does not do much yet to stop Israel.

It gives me hope that at least there's an alternative emerging. Israel needs to be stopped, and its allies need to stop supporting it.
