Hypocrisy in U.S. Policy: A Call for True Freedom
The recent killing of a Hamas leader, who fought against the brutal Israeli occupation, highlights a deeper issue in U.S. foreign policy. For decades, the United States has positioned itself as the "land of the free," advocating for human rights and self-determination. Yet, it has turned a blind eye to the Palestinians' struggle for those same rights since 1948. The relentless military aid provided by the U.S. to Israel not only bolsters the occupation but also denies Palestinians the freedom to resist oppression.The hypocrisy is glaring. While supporting the right of some to resist tyranny, the U.S. dismisses the Palestinians’ quest for dignity and justice. If America is truly committed to the principles, it champions, it must reevaluate its stance, advocate for a just peace, and acknowledge the Palestinian right to self-determination and the right to live in dignity, free from Israeli oppression. It is telling that not a single American president has had the courage to denounce the occupation or call for a halt to weapons deliveries to Israel since its founding, which has fueled this terrible tragedy.
A meaningful start would be to place an immediate embargo on all weapons to Israel and demand the swift restoration of food and clean water—not in 30 days, but immediately. This delay demonstrates a callous disregard for the sanctity of life and the dignity of the Palestinian people. Shame on Biden-Harris!
