Genocide in Gaza and the shifting moral axis of the West
ISLAMABAD – Never before has the rift in Western conscience over Gaza yawned so wide, so raw, so undeniable. For decades, the halls of power in Western capitals dismissed the Palestinian story of dispossession and siege as exaggeration, political theatre, or partisan noise.

She just screamed, cried, and zoned out," said Leila, Masoumeh’s younger sister, one of the first to find her in that state. "We didn’t know what to do. She kept running away, and eventually, we lost contact with her again."
