Speech from Palestinian Woman: western double standard & racism

Palestinian representative Nada Tarbush makes powerful speech at the UN calling out western double standards and racism:

“Is it apathy, indifference, a head in the sand, continuation of business as usual? Is it profits? The desire to make more profits no matter the cost, legal, moral or reputational? Or is it ideology, emanating from a racist logic whereby different values are placed on different lives? People of the Global South, or of a certain skin colour or nationality are seen as more disposable, less deserving of life, empathy, outrage or respect for the law? There is no diplomatic way of calling out racism. It is time to call a spade a spade.

If you choose to continue sending weapons to Israel as it annihilates the Palestinian of Gaza, then you do not get to ever pretend again that you support international law, care about human life, or have moral convictions that apply universally.”
