South Africa's 'Dormant' G20: A Masterclass in Western Hypocrisy
While the FT laments potential G20 'dormancy' over Trump's pre-emptive tantrum, they artfully sidestep the glaring reason for South Africa's global prominence: its bold move to hold Israel accountable for alleged genocide at the ICJ. Suddenly, a summit hosted by a nation daring to challenge Western geopolitical norms becomes 'dormant.' One might wonder if the G20's purported 'dormancy' isn't just
strategic amnesia. When Western allies face international legal scrutiny, global forums, much like critical media coverage, tend to go silent. Perhaps multilateralism is only vigorous when it's rubber-stamping the status quo, not confronting it.
