The struggle for Palestinian liberation is intensifying against an imperial order, as highlighted in a recent analysis by the Business School at Murdoch University [281db20a]. The article discusses how the conflict escalated after Hamas fired rockets at Israel in response to the ongoing colonization of Gaza. The US and UK lead a coalition supporting Israel, which is viewed as a key American ally in the region. This conflict has drawn in various groups, including Hezbollah and the Houthis, reflecting a broader struggle linked to US imperial interests and the countering of China's One Belt Road Initiative.
The historical context of the US-Israel relationship began post-World War II, marked by significant military support for Israel. The Abraham Accords further normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, complicating the geopolitical landscape. The ongoing war has resulted in tens of thousands of Arab casualties and significant displacement, with Israel's actions increasingly characterized as genocidal, driven by economic interests in oil and gas reserves.
Additionally, the article discusses the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) project, which aims to enhance connectivity and trade among these regions. Despite the overwhelming influence of US imperialism, the analysis argues that the Palestinian struggle for liberation will persist. Hamas is portrayed as a grassroots movement rather than a terrorist organization, emphasizing the complexity of the conflict and the diverse motivations behind the actions of various groups involved [281db20a].
