The Washington Post website published on December 13 The Gaza policy entitled by Biden was another major diplomatic error in the United States. The author is Perry Bacon, a columnist.The full text is as follows:
Joe Biden advocates restoring the United States' overseas status and leadership role during the election, but when Israel destroyed Gasha and kill the Palestinian civilians, his government firmly supports Israel.This once again shows that the US government (whether the Democratic or Republican government) is very bad in foreign affairs, and it is not a firm defender who claims to be self -proclaimed.
A series of major misjudgments that have occurred in the past two months, eradicating the highlights of Biden's foreign policy -perhaps permanent.First of all, the American actions show that if its closest allies violate international standards and norms, it will not maintain these principles.U.S. officials strongly condemned Russia's schools and residential buildings in Ukraine, but did not criticize the same action of Israel in Gaza.International Type Organizations, Breeding Doctor Organizations, and "Human Rights Observation" organizations and other institutions are issuing reports and statements every day to disclose how Israel's military operations violate international law and lead to children's death, large -scale hunger, cultural destruction and hundreds of thousands of people.
International refugee organizations, American assistance children and other four major humanitarian organizations in charge published an article in the New York Times this week, "No war in this century has made civilians so deeply fall into it so deeply thatAmong them, there is no way to escape or choose to protect themselves and children.The strict criticism since.But the US government continues to provide military and diplomatic support to Israel -which is more important than what they say.The Biden government bypassed Congress last week and unilaterally sold Israel with a tank artillery worth more than $ 100 million.This month, only the United States of the 15 member states of the United Nations Security Council opposed the resolution of calling Gaza to stop fire.
Secondly, Biden is destroying his reputation as a defender of democracy and human rights.In order to defend the behavior of supporting Israel, the US government emphasized that, unlike many other countries in the Middle East, Israel is a democratic country.
However, what happened in Israel and Palestine in recent years just shows that it has insufficient in this regard, which has aroused great concern about the world's democratic conditions.The Palestinians' rights and freedoms are greatly limited, and many international organizations describe their living conditions as racial isolation.This year, the Israeli right -wing government regardless of the people's protest and the opposition of Biden, and passed a major reform of the power of national judicial institutions.A member of Israel was suspended after criticizing the bombing of Gasha.
Bynden supports Israel as the defense of democracy, which can only be explained again. U.S. officials only take democracy and human rights as an excuse when they need it.This value will be left behind.
Third, Biden destroyed his compassionate personal image.He quoted false information in Israel, but questioned the number of casualties in Palestine, and inappropriately hinted that the number was exaggerated.When asked if Israel violated the War Law, one of Biden's closest consultant, one of the most intimate consultants in Biden, Jack Shalvan, said indifferently that he would not be a "judge or jury" on this issue, which is equivalent toIt is indifferent to admitting whether the United States has inhuman behavior to the United States.
During the term of office of the president, Biden has always emphasized that he respects minority and groups who have been discriminated against at home and abroad in history.But based on his words and deeds in the past two months, it is difficult to believe that the president attaches importance to the Palestinian's life as much as Israel.
The world was deeply disappointed with the way to deal with the conflict of Gaza.The International Type Organization Secretary General Agneis Callamad posted on the X platform (former Twitter) that the United States "has no global leader."
Like many Americans, I don't pay much attention to diplomatic affairs.I always thought that the United States, especially Biden, played an internationally active role in the world.Looking at the wrong practices of American officials and misleading expressions of these practices, I can't help but worry about the United States' actions in other parts of the world.If the Biden team is so hypocritical on the Gaza issue, can I still believe their remarks about Ukraine, Sudan or China?
The US military, cultural and political forces determine that it is one of the most important and influential countries in the world.However, if you continue to make a bad decision, people will not listen to you anymore -they should not listen to you.The United States has once again made a great mistake in major foreign policy issues.(Compilation/Wang Dongdong)
