Queen Rania of Jordan condemned the western world’s reaction to the Hamas attack on Israel as against Israel’s attack on Palestinians, calling it a “glaring double standard”. Rania stated in a CNN interview that the people of Jordan and the Middle East were “shocked” to discover that the world vehemently denounced the cruel Hamas attack but is still standing by as a humanitarian crisis plays out in real-time in Gaza. “Are we being told that it is wrong to kill a family, an entire family, at gunpoint, but it’s OK to shell them to death?” Rania asked.
