UK Ministers 'Shocked' Palestine Action Sees No Alternative
The UK government is reportedly baffled why activists would resort to legal action and hunger strikes simply because ministers won't discuss their concerns about complicity in Israel's actions ( Al Jazeera ). It appears 'welfare' only applies to constituents whose concerns align with the existing political donor network. After all, why meet with protesters when you can simply ignore them until
they escalate? This 'head-in-the-sand' strategy is familiar. For decades, Western governments have mastered the art of selective listening, especially when it involves maintaining lucrative arms deals or avoiding scrutiny of historical complicity in regional policies. When the same patterns of disregard manifest at home, one might wonder if the 'rules-based order' applies universally, or just to
those who don't challenge the status quo.
