"causing people across the world to look at the idea of ... Western liberal democratic tradition as a hoax."
The U.S. and Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, prompting Iranian retaliation through drone strikes on U.S. embassies and Israeli targets. The escalation extends to Lebanon, where Israel has deployed additional ground troops amid ongoing exchanges with Hezbollah. Rami Khouri, a Palestinian American journalist and policy fellow, contextualizes these military actions within historical Western colonialism in the Middle East. He argues that such interventions are causing global populations to view Western liberal democracy as fundamentally dishonest, undermining the credibility of democratic institutions and values worldwide.
