“At the beginning of the conflict, there was a headline on the CNN website about butchered children found in an Israeli kibbutz, and when you read the story, it was not independently verified,” she said.
CNN’s Christiane Amanpour hit back, saying there was overwhelming evidence of the murderous brutality directed at children and other people of all ages in the attack in southern Israel.
Rania focused on the suffering of the Palestinians, which has increased in the Gaza Strip since the attack.
“People all over the Middle East, including Jordan, we are just shocked and disappointed by the world’s response to this ongoing catastrophe. In the last couple of weeks, we have seen a blatant double standard in the world. “When October 7th happened, the world immediately and unequivocally supported Israel and its right to defend itself and condemned the attack … but in the last couple of weeks we have seen silence in the world,” she said.
“This is the first time in modern history that people are suffering like this and the world is not even calling for a ceasefire,” added Queen Rania. – Thus, the silence is deafening, and for many residents of our region, the Western world becomes an accomplice.
Or are we being told that it is wrong to slaughter a family, an entire family, at gunpoint, but it is okay to shoot them to death? I mean, there is an obvious double standard here. It just shocks the Arab world.”
“I speak as a mother, we have seen Palestinian mothers who have to write their children’s names on their arms – because the chances of them being shot to death, of their bodies turning into corpses, is very high,” Rania continued. “I just want to remind the world that Palestinian mothers love their children as much as any other mother in the world,” she said.
