This week may go down as the week that saw the collective Western leadership being self-indicted as criminally insane.
First of all, we see United States President Joe Biden declaring that the massacre of civilians in Gaza does not "cross any red lines" that might bar further crucial American support for the Israeli regime.
Then we have Biden and other Western political figures declaring their permission for the Ukrainian regime to strike Russian territory with long-range NATO weapons.
This is the same regime that glorifies the Nazi Third Reich and collaborators in World War Two genocide, and whose president cancelled elections, now becoming a dictator.It is entirely fitting - and heinous - that accomplices to genocide in Gaza are also recklessly pushing for global nuclear conflagration.
The abhorrent public position of Biden and other Western leaders should be a shocking wake-up call for citizens all around the world as to the criminal nature of these powers. It is all the more sickening given the arrogant claims of the US to be the "leader of the free world" and narcissistic notions about "Western, American, European values".
Biden has personally taken up a crusade based on a narrative of "leading democracy against autocracy" and promoting a "rules-based global order".
The conceited Western powers routinely vilify Russia, China, Iran, and others as "autocracies" that are threatening supposedly precious freedoms of democracy and international law.
However, the world can vividly see how bankrupt the US and its Western partners are. Never before has the ugly truth been so naked.
This week witnessed a particularly horrific massacre in Gaza after more than eight months of countless atrocities by the Israeli regime against Palestinian civilians. A refugee camp in Rafah was bombed with incendiary explosives that killed at least 45 mainly women and children in refugee tents. The area had been designated a safe zone by the Israelis.
The scenes of death and mutilation were nearly beyond belief. Women and children were incinerated as they lay sleeping in their tents. Infants were decapitated in the air strikes.
Despite an international outcry against the monstrous barbarity, two days later the Israelis bombed more refugee camps in Rafah again murdering dozens of civilians.
