“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
Why has a power such as France, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, for so long behaved as the silent accomplice or the broom wagon of a ‘rogue state’ such as Israel?
—Serge Halimi et Pierre Lambert, Le Monde Diplomatique, translated from the French, August 2025
