While the calls to stop Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are increasing, including the not so energetic ones from US President Joseph Biden, the reality shows that in this aspect, as in many others, the White House is two-faced.
On the one hand, they are trying to calm domestic public opinion, a priority task in an election year, with tepid appeals to Zionist leader Benjamin Netanyahu for a cease-fire and humanitarian access to prevent further humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
At the same time, however, in the utmost silence, practically from behind the scenes, the White House managed to approve the dispatch of more lethal force for Israel to continue the massacre at its leisure, a clear sign of support for the policy of extermination against the Palestinian civilian population.
Biden obtained authorization to send his gendarme 25 F-35 fighter planes, high-tech artifacts, as well as more than 1,800 MK84 bombs and another 500 of the MK82 type. To give you an idea, the MK84 can penetrate 15 inches of metal armor or 3.4 meters of concrete and its lethal radius of action exceeds 365 meters, three and a half blocks.
He did this at the same time as he introduced in the Security Council a hypocritical resolution for a ceasefire in the Strip, as revealed by the US newspaper The Washington Post, which can be accused of many things, except being progressive or anti-US.
With such an endorsement, Tel Aviv will of course never abide by the UN resolution calling for a pause in hostilities and the opening of urgent aid to prevent more deaths from hunger, disease or wounds that cannot be healed.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the new death toll since the beginning of the war rose over the weekend to 32,623 dead.
Meanwhile, the World Food Program affirmed that after almost six months of war, the population of Gaza faces "imminent famine".
At the same time, in the complacent European Union, declarations come and go, but without any action to put an end to the tragedy, such as, for example, breaking diplomatic relations with Israel, which day by day becomes a pariah state, located on the fringes of the rules of coexistence.
This happens precisely because of the feeling of impunity granted by the United States which, apart from this brutal war of extermination, annually grants Tel Aviv 3.8 billion dollars in military aid, which in the end becomes a kind of license to kill.
