WATCH: Will the US and Israel succeed in ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
Author Pankaj Mishra argues that Israel’s war on Gaza has dealt a fatal blow to Western ideals of morality and international law.
Mishra, whose latest book is The World After Gaza: A History, tells Al Jazeera’s Bottom Line that US and Israeli leaders are normalising the idea of mass expulsion of the two million Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip and may eventually succeed in carrying it out as the world watches.
The author also dives into the racist logic behind some Western foreign policies and argues that India has lost “moral and diplomatic leadership” due to its support for Israel.
