When you commit a crime so great that you will never recover from it yourself... Owen Jones is a British newspaper columnist, political commentator, author, and graduate of Oxford. He describes Israel's ruthless attack on Gaza in detail and points out that this massive violence Is enabled by the unconditional support by Western countries such as the United States and Britain.

Jones points out that "Western governments have openly facilitated some of the worst crimes of our age" and concludes: "I don't think the West is ever going to recover from this. This is not in itself a good thing, because the question is what fills the vacuum. I happen to think that maybe for a long time that will be chaos… "
