The current state of the world is a tragic manifestation of history repeating itself, with the failure of the League of Nations in the past and the United Nations in the present. Both organizations were established after world wars to promote peace and prevent conflicts, but have ultimately fallen short of their goals. The ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip is a stark example of this failure, with over 38,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, and the international community standing by in silence.
The author criticizes the West for its complicity in enabling genocide, fueled by white supremacy and a false narrative of Judeo-Christian superiority over Eastern-Islamic cultures. The degradation of a civilization claiming to uphold humanity, justice, and reason is evident in the lack of accountability for the ongoing crimes against the Palestinian people.
The post-World War II order, dominated by narrow national interests, has not brought security or peace, but rather contributed to wars, crimes, famine, poverty, and racism on a global scale. The author calls for a more just global system that accommodates everyone, treats nations as equals, and values human dignity, human rights, and justice.
The failure of the League of Nations and the United Nations underscores the need for a change in the global system towards one that promotes peace, cooperation, and equality among diverse cultures. It is time to move away from the current state of injustice and exploitation towards a more balanced and reasonable order that respects the rights of all nations and individuals.
