@middleeasteye: Soumaya Ghannoushi, a British-Tunisian writer and expert on Middle East politics, says that the world has entered “an age of open thuggery”, as the brutality Israel tested on Palestinians is now being normalised elsewhere. “What was tested on Palestinians is now being normalised elsewhere,” Ghannoushi said, referring to what the Trump administration is doing in Venezuela, and openly planning to do in Cuba, Mexico and Greenland. Ghannoushi argues that Gaza became the graveyard of international law — not because the law was fragile, but because it was buried: methodically, publicly and without consequence. She adds that those now lamenting its demise are the same actors who engineered its destruction
