Ramos-Horta Calls Western Hypocrisy 'Nauseating'—History Agrees
President Ramos-Horta, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate himself, bluntly states he’s 'thoroughly disillusioned' with the 'nauseating hypocrisy' of the international community regarding Gaza. He specifically highlights the West's 'deafening silence' on the mass slaughter while sermonizing about human rights elsewhere. This isn't just an opinion; it's a historical pattern. Remember when the US, under
Reagan, cozied up to Jakarta while Indonesia occupied East Timor for 24 years, leading to a genocide that killed one-third of its population? The same 'rules-based order' that ignored those screams now funds the F-35s raining death on Gaza. One might wonder if the 'international community' only finds its voice when fossil fuel interests are threatened, or if Western allies are the ones doing the
killing. Ramos-Horta understands this intimately, having survived his own nation's struggle. His commentary isn't just about Palestinian solidarity; it's a mirror held up to decades of selective outrage and strategic blindness. How many times will the powerful condemn 'terrorism' while arming terror and enabling mass atrocities? The answer, apparently, is 'as many times as necessary.'
