Nurul Izzah Anwar, former MP from Malaysia, criticises the global response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, highlighting how hegemonic powers like the U.S. use economic announcements, such as tariffs, to distract from military onslaughts. She warns that complicit states have been strategic in dismantling efforts to hold them accountable and stresses the need for ASEAN countries to push harder for Palestine to stay on the agenda. She calls for a revival of the spirit of the 1955 Bandung Conference, uniting the Global South around key pillars: universal jurisdiction, port blockades, and arms embargoes. Emphasising the urgency of resisting a growing culture of fear, she urges countries to link the Palestinian cause with wider economic struggles against imperial dominance, warning that ignoring Gaza is tantamount to ignoring our shared humanity.
This clip stems from the recent webinar "The Hague Group Initiative: The Gaza Genocide and the way forward for Asia-Pacific", organised by the Asia-Europe People's Forum (AEPF), including TNI and Focus on the Global South, and the BDS National Committee.
