The article examines the contradictions in Western policies regarding the war in Gaza, highlighting how the United States and Germany have simultaneously armed Israel while publicly championing human rights and democracy. It points to statements by senior US officials acknowledging the high Palestinian death toll, even as military and financial support for Israel increased. Germany, the second-largest supplier of weapons to Israel, is criticized for suppressing pro-Palestinian activism at home while continuing arms exports, despite international condemnation and legal challenges. The piece argues that these contradictions are not accidental but part of a deliberate policy that allows Western powers to maintain dominance while masking their actions with rhetoric about values. The author calls for the Global South to recognize and reject these engineered hypocrisies in order to reclaim agency and seek solutions beyond Western frameworks.
