Izjemen intervju z nekdanjim francoskim predsednikom vlade in vrhunskim diplomatom De Villepinom, ki svari, da lahko izraelski masaker nad palestinskim ljudstvom v Gazi ob zahodni podpori eskalira v globalno versko vojno. Kajti muslimani ne bodo pozabili tega masakra. Država s površino 22 tisoč kilometrov in 9 milijoni prebivalcev je mobilizirala proti sebi, in posledično – zaradi podpore Izraelu – proti celotnemu Zahodu, 1.8 milijard muslimanov. De Villepin zelo realistično ocenjuje, da Zahod danes ni več vojaško sposoben obvladovati te regije (že v vojni v Ukrajini se je s strelivom izčrpal). To ni leto 1967 ali 1973 in ne 2003. Ne gre več za izoliran spopad ali napad na eno državo ter močno zahodno koalicijo v podpori agresorju, zdaj je zrevoltirana in mobilizirana celotna muslimanska populacija. Smo na robu tega, pred čemer je danes na velikem javnem shodu v Istanbulu svaril turški predsednik Erdogan: “Hočete vojno med križem in polmesecem?“. Predstavljajte si, ko bodo v regiji med Sirijo in Pakistanom začele simultano leteti rakete na ameriška oporišča in ko bodo Američani začeli bežati (tako kot so pred dvema letoma iz Afganistana in danes iz Bagdada)…
Zato je, kot svari De Villepin, treba to vojno zaustaviti takoj. Na Zahodu bi morali mobilizirati vse globalne sile, vključno z Rusijo, ki lahko pripomorejo k pomiritvi sil in k čimprejšnji zaustavitvi vojne.
Resnično se ne zavedamo, kaj se je sprožilo 7. oktobra (na 75 let podlage) in dejanji, ki so sledila…
Hamas has set a trap for us, and this trap is one of maximum horror, of maximum cruelty. And so there’s a risk of an escalation in militarism, of more military interventions, as if we could with armies solve a problem as serious as the Palestinian question.
There’s also a second major trap, which is that of Occidentalism. We find ourselves trapped, with Israel, in this western bloc which today is being challenged by most of the international community.
[Presenter: What is Occidentalism?]
Occidentalism is the idea that the West, which for 5 centuries managed the world’s affairs, will be able to quietly continue to do so. And we can clearly see, even in the debates of the French political class, that there is the idea that, faced with what is currently happening in the Middle East, we must continue the fight even more, towards what might resemble a religious or a civilizational war. That is to say, to isolate ourselves even more on the international stage.
This is not the way, especially since there’s a third trap, which is that of moralism. And here we have in a way the proof, through what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening in the Middle East, of this double standard that is denounced everywhere in the world, including in recent weeks when I travel to Africa, the Middle East, or Latin America. The criticism is always the same: look at how civilian populations are treated in Gaza, you denounce what happened in Ukraine, and you are very timid in the face of the tragedy unfolding in Gaza.
Consider international law, the second criticism that is made by the global south. We sanction Russia when it aggresses Ukraine, we sanction Russia when it doesn’t respect the resolutions of the United Nations, and it’s been 70 years that the resolutions of the United Nations have been voted in vain and that Israel doesn’t respect them.
