Global Community 'Urged' to Act as Leaders Seek Stronger Reading Glasses
The Daily Sabah dutifully reports Türkiye's renewed plea for the international community to finally address Israel's actions (Source: Daily Sabah ). A noble sentiment, you'd think. Yet, this isn't Türkiye's first rodeo. Calls for 'global action' have been echoing for decades, as Israel systematically disregards international law, from settlement expansion (documented by B'Tselem) to Gaza's
blockade. The 'international community' often seems to react to these calls with the decisive ferocity of a sloth on tranquilizers. Perhaps President Erdoğan should consider sending a memo directly to the US Congress, attaching the latest OpenSecrets data. For example, Senator X, who received $Y from AIPAC in 2023, might find his 'global action' compass pointing firmly towards more armaments for
Israel. How many 'urgent calls' must one ignore before the 'destabilization' becomes a full-blown regional catastrophe? Or is 'destabilization' only truly recognized when it doesn't involve the world's most robust lobbying expenditure?
