Dr. Marcus said that Israel has removed its mask for the first time

In this Al Mayadeen discussion, Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos contended that the Western ruling elites, which includes Western mainstream journalists, care nothing for the mass murder of Palestinian civilians by Israel in Gaza. However, he opined that the West does care about the impact that those murders are having on the image which it presents of itself to the world; namely, that the West is the guardian of civilisation. Thus, Dr. Marcus said that it would only be on account of reputational damage that the West would, in private, tell the Israelis to either scale back their military operation in Gaza, or end it altogether.
