No, it won’t be stopped by that, either. They’ve learnt the hard way that no sacrifice is great enough to appease those who don’t want them to exist. Not that there would be a pan-Islamic ultimatum — too many of Islamic nations want an open or quiet Abraham Agreement for themselves. So instead of looking like an idiot, Mr. Akopov, sit down quietly and shut up. | [RIA] This weekend, two emergency international summits will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Because the massacre in Gaza, which has been going on for two months now, has become not only a regional, but also a global crisis, both with a constant danger of escalation and with almost guaranteed dire consequences. After all, we are talking not just about another bloodbath in the Middle East, but about a growing conflict between the Western and Islamic worlds. The “golden billion” and the two billion Muslim Ummah: three and a half dozen states on the one hand and fifty-five on the other?
Yes, but at the same time, the conflict of the West with Islam is also included in the broader conflict of the West with the Global South (representing the majority of humanity), as well as in the conflict of the West with the non-Western world (this is the South plus China and Russia). The Palestinian issue has divided the world for three quarters of a century, but only now has it become such a clear symbol of the separation between the West and the rest of humanity because it has exposed the bankruptcy of the entire model of Atlantic hegemony. |
