The Washington Post newspaper talks about a “contradiction” between Washington’s declared commitment to “reduce civilian suffering” and its steadfast support for the occupation, which enables it to continue its aggression against the Gaza Strip.



The American newspaper "The Washington Post" confirmed that the ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip, for more than 80 days, "revealed a contradiction" between the declared commitment of the administration of US President Joe Biden to "reduce the suffering of civilians" and its steadfast support for the Israeli occupation in its aggression.

The newspaper pointed out that the United States of America provides “Israel” with weapons on the ground, and political cover in the United Nations, which is the support “that enabled the war to continue.”

Earlier, the American newspaper "The Wall Street Journal" reported that Washington provided the occupation with large bunker-busting bombs, along with tens of thousands of other weapons and artillery shells, during the ongoing war on Gaza.

Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign military funding, and most of this aid comes in the form of arms grants, according to what the American website Axios reported.

The occupation also has access to some of the most advanced American military technology, while American support represents about 15% of the entity’s annual war budget.

As for the United Nations, on the 8th of this month, Washington thwarted the UN Security Council’s adoption of a draft resolution requiring an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for humanitarian reasons and the entry of aid, by using its veto power, while the draft received 13 supportive votes.

Later, on the 22nd of this month, the Security Council adopted a draft resolution related to the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip without indicating the need to stop the war, and it was supported by the United States, which renewed its position of supporting the occupation in its aggression, claiming that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”

The Council adopted this project after postponing it several times, and making several amendments requested by Washington, including replacing the “urgent suspension of fighting with the aim of allowing the entry of humanitarian aid” with “taking urgent steps that immediately allow the entry of aid (...) and urgent steps that lead to a reduction in the fighting.”

For its part, Moscow, which abstained from voting, believed that Washington “used all means of pressure, blackmail and coercion to impose this resolution, and gave Israel a license to kill without accountability,” considering that this “blackmail” makes the resolution a “black spot” in the history of the Security Council. .

Russia's representative to the Security Council, Vasily Nebenzia, accused the United States of "pressuring to empty the text of the draft resolution related to Gaza of its essence," noting that it "included a dangerous element in the draft resolution that allows Israel to cleanse the Gaza Strip."

In occupied Palestine, the resistance factions confirmed that this decision “does not rise to the level of the occupation’s crimes,” considering that it “reflects a resounding failure to put an end to the American war of annihilation at Israeli hands.”

When Gaza is void of palés and filled with malés, we will call it malestine.
