2023 Gaza conflict

From Delhi in 1857 to Gaza in 2023, the colonial playbook remains largely unchanged.

While it remains to be seen how the Israel-Hamas war unfolds, it has already shown the nature of the Sino-Israeli relationship and where China’s interests lie.

India this time around has taken a much stronger pro-Israel stand than is typical during Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.

Solidarity with and concerns about Palestine are not a new development among Uzbeks, but there have been a variety of responses to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

“So, there's the pain of the suffering in Palestine – our homeland – but then there's the feeling of abandonment. It’s an otherness. It’s like we don’t belong in Australia, we don't belong on Earth almost.”

Tokyo is caught between a diplomatic rock and an economic hard place.

China's position on the current conflict, and the Israel-Palestine issue more broadly, is not unusual. So why is it attracting so much attention?
