Great comments! I would like to say though, "yet the world pretends these people deserve it", is incorrect. This applie to the US and its allies (generally "White countries"), a minority. Fortunately this doesn't apply to most of the world, who sympathise with the Palestinians. This war is changing that perception, particularly among the younger demographic, in countries which have traditionally held that view. Promising!
True, but many countries stay silent because the US gives them financial aid which those countries depend on. Two of those countries are the Marshall Islands and American Samoa, who always vote however the US wants them to in the UN. Note that Joe Biden claims he's pressuring Netanyahu for a ceasefire, yet in the latest UN vote the US abstained. They also refuse to resume giving funds to UNRWA even though it's clear that Israel made false claims about the organization supporting Hamas.
Very True. It's criminal and clear for the world to see. They've lost any moral authority they may have had and will find it hard to lecture countries on any topic into the future. Enabling a genocide does come at a cost.
What we're seeing is a US president who publicly demands a ceasefire while "quietly" sending bomber jets and 2,000 pound bombs to Israel. He's fooling the Americans but not for much longer. Biden is a fool. He's supporting Israel's genocide against the Palestinians but it may cost him reelection. Maybe that's the way an 82 year old man gets out of running for another term.
The American presidency is a charade, regardless of who is in power. The administrations are generally made up of the same people, who do all the work and produce policy along with the same lobbying groups who influence them. The President is just a figurehead/mouthpiece who speaks to the public. The problems with American politics go far deeper than the president. With the current 2-party system filled with (and dominated by) like-minded people on both sides, vis-a-vis Israel, except nothing to change.
