Israel’s assault on Gaza is exposing the holes in everything liberal politicians claim to believe | Nesrine Malik
Starmer and Biden see themselves as custodians of stability. But their support for this bloody conflict shows nothing but weakness, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik
Hasnain says:
“Gaza has become the expression of a legitimacy crisis for an Anglo-American political class who preside over already fragile systems that deliver less and less to their populations, and whose main offering is that the alternative is worse. Things may look stable, but underneath lurk managed discontents about costs of living, diminished social mobility and the ravages wreaked by rightwing governments to which centrists provide no real answer.”
