The Western imperial order on display in Gaza: Palestine as an ideological fault line in the international arena
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since October 2023, the US-led Western imperial alliance has provided military, economic, and diplomatic support that has been essential to Israel’s ability to carry out its genocidal operation. The USA sees Israel as a critical imperial outpost, and many countries in the Global South are increasingly situating Palestine as an ideological fault line between them and the imperial West. Among other arenas, the fault line is evident at the International Court of Justice, where South Africa has charged Israel with genocide and where the Court has held hearings regarding the legality of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories. The article examines the two cases as part of a counter-hegemonic campaign waged by Global South states against US imperialism and Israeli settler colonialism. Though it came with critical limitations, the Court’s advisory opinion in favour of Palestinian self-determination shows that increasingly, US hegemony is not what it used to be, with the Global South becoming more pronounced in its challenge to US-led Western imperialism. The article concludes that situating the Palestinian struggle for liberation within a global decolonial and anti-imperial struggle is critical in reaching not only a just resolution for Palestinians but also in transforming the international order.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
