Latest Commentaries
Thursday 31 July 2025
All of Sir Ronald's commentaries up to 31 July 2025 can be read in the "Commentaries" section of this website. The most recent one is entitled, "The world has gone silent on the horrors in Gaza — that is the tragedy' (in English and Spanish).
Silence in the face of suffering is a form of violence. The facts on the ground—documented by UNRWA, OCHA, UNICEF and OHCHR—are too stark to ignore. People are now scouring the dirt for food.
It is a tragedy that the people in Gaza are being killed and are also dying from starvation, malnutrition and lack of medicines. But the greater and real human tragedy is that the world is in a state of “collapse of compassion”, quietly looking away. It is time for the world to speak up, or Gaza will weigh heavily and permanently on the conscience of mankind
