Edited. by Petr Akopov [RIA] On the eve of his 81st birthday tomorrow, Joe Biden published an article in The Washington Post, “The United States will not yield to the challenge of Putin and Hamas,” a text that is simultaneously addressed to both Americans, a growing number of whom are demanding an end to the bloodshed in Gaza, and to the rest of the world, which is calling for American authorities influence their enraged client, that is, Israel. This is not the first time that the US President has lumped together the Russian-Ukrainian and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts - he needs this to claim that “Putin and Hamas are fighting to wipe out a neighboring democracy <...> they hope to destroy more broad regional stability and integration." Well, everything is clear: the Kremlin and Gaza could not calmly look at free people living nearby, governed by democratic governments, and decided to simply destroy their states. And at the same time, prevent integration in these regions - Ukraine’s entry into the EU and the reconciliation of Israel with Arab countries (including through the construction of the India-Emirates-Saudi Arabia-Jordan-Israel economic corridor). After all, this is the cause of conflicts, isn’t it? What does it mean that Ukraine and Israel are not democracies? How is it that Israel has been pursuing an apartheid policy towards the Palestinians for three quarters of a century, taking away more and more land from them, while the Kyiv authorities want to transform Russians into anti-Russian Ukrainians? Biden says that Putin and Hamas want to destroy neighboring democracies - and this is precisely the challenge for America . Which she accepts because “the world is looking to us to solve the problems of our time, this is the duty of leadership, and America will fulfill it.” It doesn’t matter that the world considers both of these conflicts to be a consequence of American hegemony and claims to world dominance ( NATO expansion to the east and an attempt to tear Ukraine away from Russia - in the first case, and indulging in the apartheid and expansionist policies of Israel - in the second), Biden promises to “solve Problems". I wonder how exactly he plans to do this? Biden no longer talks about Russia's defeat - he writes that "we are providing brave Ukrainians with weapons and economic assistance to stop Putin's quest for conquest before the conflict spreads further." Where to go? To Europe ? That is, Biden continues to promote the absolutely false thesis that Russia threatens Europe as a justification for aid to Ukraine. Of course, it was not the West that tried to tear Ukraine out of the Russian world, to Atlanticize it - it was Russia that was going to attack NATO countries: the Baltic states , Poland , Romania ... And this would already be a threat to American security - Biden even remembered history: " "We know from the experience of two world wars of the last century that when aggression in Europe goes unanswered, the crisis does not resolve itself. It directly involves America." That is, the First World War began not because England was afraid of the strengthening of Germany and actually provoked a European war, but because of some mythical unrequited aggression of the Germans? And the United States entered the war not because it wanted to become the first violin in the Anglo-Saxon duet that laid claim to world hegemony? And what led to their direct participation in World War II was not so much a reluctance to give Europe under German rule, but rather a fear of seeing it under the control of Moscow ? America emerged from both European wars noticeably stronger, but now, on the contrary, its power is declining. And she wants to stop him by passing off her own push to the east as a Russian threat? It is clear that in the case of Russia, Biden is turning everything on its head. But what does he propose on the Palestinian issue? Here we see an attempt to pass off patronage of state terrorism as a desire for peace. After condemning Hamas for the October 7 attack, Biden suddenly declares that “the Palestinian people deserve their own state,” and even claims that he, too, is heartbroken by the footage from Gaza, where thousands of civilians, including children, are dying.” The US President speaks out for a solution to the issue of two states, two peoples living side by side in conditions of equal freedom and dignity, calling it the only way to ensure long-term security. Moreover: he even writes that “there should be no forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, no re-occupation, no siege or blockade, no reduction of territory,” and that Palestinian aspirations should be at the center of post-crisis reconstruction in Gaza. Biden even finds a few words to demand an end to “extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank,” and there, during the operation in Gaza, the Israelis have already killed hundreds of Palestinians and arrested thousands. What happened to the Biden administration - has it really taken on Israel and wants not only to stop the bloodshed, but also to force the leadership of the Jewish state to peace, that is, to take real steps towards creating an independent Palestine? Of course not. We are dealing with the usual propaganda demagoguery aimed at trying to at least a little reassure both the domestic American public and the Islamic world as a whole. But no one believes America, because it has already promised many times to achieve the creation of an independent Palestine, but each time Israel only occupied more and more Palestinian lands, arrested and killed more and more Palestinians. And you can understand that Biden is talking about two states only for rhetoric, from his own text. When he writes that the Palestinian people deserve their own state, he adds: “and a future free from Hamas.” And about "a future in which Hamas violence and hatred have no place" and Gaza "must never again be used as a platform for terrorism." However, the text does not say a word about what caused hatred, violence and terrorism on the part of Hamas: state terror, murders, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip over the past 55 years. That is, you need to eliminate Hamas - and everything will be fine. Thus, Biden is practically repeating what Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders are saying, who have declared their intention to destroy Hamas. But Hamas is a form of organization of the Palestinian people, their resistance and struggle for their rights and lands. Calls for the destruction of Hamas are no different from calls to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth, which is what we have seen in Israel’s actions over the past month and a half. But maybe Biden wants to at least stop the bloodshed? No, because he writes that “as long as Hamas adheres to its ideology of destruction, there will be no ceasefire.” What is it about? That “if Hamas cared about the lives of Palestinians, it would have released all the hostages, surrendered their weapons, and handed over the leaders and those responsible for October 7.” That is, it self-destructed and allowed the eviction of Palestinians from Gaza (and this is precisely the maximum task for Israel). Is Biden writing about this in all seriousness? No, he needs to approve the continuation of the Israeli operation in Gaza, and all other words are just a cover for this. This is exactly how Netanyahu, by the way, perceived it: commenting on Biden’s article, he essentially said that he was not going to transfer control over Gaza even to Abbas’s Palestinian administration (it would not have agreed to this, but Biden proposed it), and the Israeli army would retain complete freedom of action in the sector after the end of the war. That is, the occupation will continue - and that's all there is to know about Biden's peace initiatives, which have shocked the world with their attempt to hide approval of state terrorism under the veil of false promises of a Palestinian state. |
