Dr. Michael Brenner: “The West has set itself on a path of collective suicide”
Mohsen Abdelmoumen: You wrote an excellent article entitled The West’s Reckoning. Talking about Western leaders, you mention collective suicide. Can you explain this to us?
Dr. Michael Brenner: America – its European vassals train in tow – in committing moral suicide in Palestine. The political consequences will be profound, and as enduring as the complete discrediting of the country’s standing as a positive presence in world affairs. Encouragement of, and participation in the murderous Israel assault on Gazans has been accompanied by a torrent of lies and deceptions which discredit anything we shall do or say. The reference points for this harsh judgment are not the mythic image of “the city on the Hill;” the last, best hope of mankind; the indispensable nation for achieving global peace and stability: the Providential people born in a state of Original Virtue destined to lead the world down the path of Enlightenment. None of those idealistic standards. No, we are debased when measured against the prosaic standards of human decency, of responsible statecraft, of a decent respect for the opinions of humankind.
Western leaders are experiencing two stunning events: defeat in Ukraine, genocide in Palestine. The first is humiliating, the other shameful. Yet, they feel no humiliation or shame. Their actions show vividly that those sentiments are alien to them – unable to penetrate the entrenched barriers of dogma, arrogance and deep-seated insecurities. The last are personal as well as political. Therein lies a puzzle. For, as a consequence, the West has set itself on a path of collective suicide. Moral suicide in Gaza; diplomatic suicide – the foundations laid in Europe, the Middle East and across Eurasia; economic suicide – the dollar-based global financial system jeopardized, Europe deindustrializing. It is not a pretty picture. Astoundingly, this self-destruction is occurring in the absence of any major trauma – external or internal. Therein lies another, related puzzle.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen: How do you explain the outrageous warmongering of the oligarchy ruling the West, which is supporting Ukraine while plunging its population into poverty?
Dr. Anastasia Likhacheva: I do not see any contradiction here – nobody promised to take a better care on population. They sold a dream and bought some elite. It looks like an easy and cheap deal for the US business and Europeans, who voluntarily lost their major competitive advantages to cover any costs.

In the steps that led you towards the death that you chose by immolation, in that short distance that led you to the embassy of the Zionist entity of Israel in Washington, we saw great strides towards a humanism lost by most of those who populate this accursed rock that the Earth has become. By your action, my son, and I say « my son » because you could have been, you have shown that fire not only burns, it also lights the way, the path of righteous men. And that is your path, the path of Justice, Righteousness, Honor and Dignity. You refused to follow and support the infamous war being waged by your country, the United States of America, and its armed wing, the criminal Zionist entity of Israel, against the Palestinian people. You wanted to tell them what you think by sacrificing your life. You made such a noise, my son, that every headline in the world is talking about you. But you don’t care. You’re not interested in the swamps of politics and politicians of all stripes. You’ve understood everything. You know that everything is for sale and that they’re chained, locked up, in the iron heel and eating the grapes of wrath, and you’ve told them that inside each and every one of us there’s an old man and the sea. And in my head the tunes of Woody Guthrie ring out.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen : Aminatou Haidar, whom I have already interviewed, is going through very difficult times as she has been denied a residence permit by the Spanish government and is at risk of being sent to prison in Morocco, where torture is practised. She denounces a political plot between the Spanish and Moroccan governments. In your opinion, how can we effectively support the struggle of this great lady?
Professor Stephen Zunes: The Spanish government has been getting considerable pressure from the Moroccans, including threats to allow waves of migrants to cross into Spain. However, Aminatou Haidar is a well-known figure. She has been a recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, the Civil Courage Award, and others, and has been nominated multiple times for the Nobel Peace Prize. During her 2009 hunger strike following her illegal expulsion from occupied Western Sahara, she received support from leading figures in politics, literature, and film—particularly from Spain. She challenges Western stereotypes of Arabs and Islam by being a well-respected female leader of a nationalist struggle and being committed to nonviolence. As a result, organized public pressure in her support should help gain sympathetic coverage in the media and thereby pressure Spanish political leaders.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen: Gaza has been under bombardment for more than two weeks now. What is your reaction to this carnage under the open sky?
Gino Kenny: Absolute horror. The people of Gaza are being collectively punished by the IDF with most of the world turning their backs on the suffering.

« Ukraine is a magnet for Islamic State militants seeking asylum after losing territory in Syria and Iraq. The country is a good place to hide and wait until they have the opportunity to return safely to the European Union or to fight in the Donbass », reveals Sonja Van den Ende, a freelance Dutch journalist who has taken refuge in Russia because of death threats from the CIA and the SBU, the Ukrainian secret service.

Mohsen Abdelmoumen: During the last 20 years, we have seen the parallel and frightening rise of the neocons in the West (France, UK and the USA) and the right-wing messianic, supremacist and apocalyptic wing in Israel. According to you, how did this happen and is there a link between both?
Tony Greenstein: I don’t think the rise of the neo-cons is anything new. Similar forces have always existed in the imperialist West even if they didn’t call themselves neo-cons. In essence the belief that the West possessed a divine right to intervene in the colonies or third world whenever it was necessary to protect their interests. The British did this all over the Middle East – Iraq, Egypt and of course Palestine.
