ONE of the greatest geopolitical stories of the 21st century should no doubt be about the death by suicide of the once mighty superpower known as the US.
In the full glare of a united international community that subscribes to the founding Charter of the UN, based on multilateralism, the US continues to swim against the tide.
The unfolding “plausible” genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinians across the Gaza Strip is a case in point.
There are indeed too many examples of geopolitical miscalculations committed by the US, but Washington’s unwavering material, financial and military support for Tel Aviv in spite of the rapidly rising death toll in Gaza is inexplicable.
Truth be told, you don’t need to be a supporter of Palestine to note the heinous way in which Israel is killing the Palestinians.
From a simple humanitarian standpoint, the brutal killing of nearly 30 000 innocent civilians, including an estimated 15 000 children and more than 10 000 women, should make even the heartless among the international community pause and think again.
