The Morality of political commentators
(Notice: Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris are two very important political commentators on the website .Both have their own podcasts and they cooperate in a common podcast under the name of The Durand , where they share ideas, they invite specialists and they discuss political themes and major political events in the form of a roundtable talk.
Alex christoforou is a Cypriot citizen who grew up and was educated in the United States . He resides in Cyprus.
Alexander Mercouris grew up in Great Britain and resides in London.
Alex christoforou comes from a long line of Cypriot diplomats, while Alexander Mercouris comes from a long line of Greek politicians ,the most famous one being Melina Mercouri, who was the Minister of Culture of Greece, under the premiership of Andreas Papandreou during the 1970s and 1980s. He is a Greek and a British citizen.
Dear Mr. Alex christoforou and dear Mr. Alexander Mercouris
I have been following both of you for at least 10 years. I have made some written contacts while I was in Montreal ,Canada for about 7 years in order to arrange my Canadian pension. Now I have returned to my home in Athens, Greece.
I am in full agreement with both of you concerning the destructive forces of Globalism around the world, especially the neo-cons of the United States and the European leaders of the European Union.
Related to the Ukraine military conflict, like both of you I am on the side of Russia since for Russia it is a matter of a geopolitical survival.
Where my concerns lie and even my reasons for a strong opposition is your moral indifference concerning the question of the Palestinian state, the Palestinians and the apartheid regime in Israel.
For the last 2 years at least, Israel and its military forces the I.D.F, has been killing in the Gaza Strip of Palestine , tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians , mostly women and children.The official estimate from the Ministry of Health of Gaza is at least 50,000 dead Many humanitarian organizations such as Amnesty International put the number of victims at over 150,000.
As a consequence, this represents a major political event and a major driving force in the political affairs of the Middle East, resulting in negative popular reactions and international condemnation for this’’human atrocity’’.
Just on basic moral grounds , both of you , as important political commentators on the website and beyond, should have focused more and discussed more the “ human genocide” that is taking place in Palestine during the last 2 years at least.
