The genocide in Gaza involves the joint responsibility of Israel and Western powers

When proclaimed morality masks the mechanics of the West’s war against the rest of the world.

This article successively analyzes the strategic logic of Western interventions, the transnational networks of complicity revealed by recent investigations on Gaza, and finally the historical dynamic that saw the birth and spread of terrorist organizations in the wake of the clandestine strategies of the major Western powers.
