One of the great challenges in addressing European and American politicians is to open their eyes to the blatant double standards in their contrasting handling of Ukraine and other crises, such as Palestine. What is as clear as the sun in the sky to those in the developing world seems to be alien to the worldview of so many in Washington, London, Berlin and Paris. This is why Prince Turki Al-Faisal was spot on to chastise the hypocrisy of the West. Across the world, right-thinking people agree that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a blatant aggression on a peaceful neighbor, a violation of international law and something that needs to be opposed.
