On solidarity and shame
13.01.2009
I totally agree with Mukoma Wa Ngugi’s comments especially on solidarity in the essay, . However, I would like to express my disappointment with the double standards the West especially USA has continued to show about human rights.
Imagine it was another country carrying out that genocide in Gaza! To us in the developing worlds this is all the more reason why we need solidarity. The Western world is not for us, the signs are there to see ranging from trade agreements and now to extermination.
The Gaza invasion is a shameful failure of our generation and it will be with us in time come like the Nazi brutality. Who knows may be the Israelis want to inherit Hitler but whatever the case the Israeli leaders are worse than Mugabe.
