Palestine Is the End of the Rules-based International Order

“Palestine has been a replay of a 200 year colonial expansion and genocide in the Americas. So what you’re seeing is really a compressed version of that today, and it has all the extermination and brutality and really othering of people that was the basis of the kind of global capitalism that we see today. So in a way it’s not really a surprise that this is where we have ended up, because this is how a lot of it really started.” Ghosh warns that “the rules based international order doesn’t exist anymore, it’s been blown up…the only rules that still remain are the rules for finance…and they too are increasingly unable to cope with the multiple and cascading crises that we’re seeing.”
