To understand the mechanisms causing the deteriorating conditions, one must look at its relationship with the United States. Trinidad and Tobago has recently declared a state of emergency in response to an alarming surge in violent crime, culminating in a murder toll of 623 for 2024—the highest recorded in the nation’s history.

The old world is dying once again, but the US-Israel axis is wrong to suggest it is slaying monsters. It is the monster. Originally published in Middle East Eye. The horrifying images from Gaza last week of fire consuming a Palestinian teenager confined to his hospital bed with an intravenous drip may come to define Israel’s genocide, as completely as earlier images of human depravity have defined the world.
