The National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan, on Tuesday, passed separate resolutions to condemn Israeli aggression on Palestine and express solidarity with the people of Gaza.

It reminds one of Thrasymachus when he had categorically proclaimed that “might is right, and justice is the interest of the stronger.” It also brings to mind Nietzsche who is said to have said: "Verily I laughed many a time over the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had lame paws." Stirner expressed the idea in these words: "a handful of might is better than a bagful of right." In Plato’s Dialogues, the Sophist Callicles denounces morality as an invention of the weak to neutralize the strength of the strong.

It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion. —William Ralph Inge
