Gaza is devastated by relentless Israeli attacks, while the Arab world remains largely silent. Once known for slogans of unity and resistance, Arab leaders now prioritize Western alliances and oil deals over Palestinian lives. This submissive stance echoes a century-old legacy of British colonial manipulation, now upheld by U.S. dominance. According to historian Usama Makdisi, today’s Arab regimes are modern extensions of colonial-era control, designed to suppress genuine independence. Their inaction and complicity deepen the suffering in Gaza and betray the cause of Palestine.
