At the same time that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken presented with a doctoral accent the report on what he describes as the exercise of human rights in 200 countries, his ardent ally, Israel, surpassed 34,000 civilians killed in Gaza.
While Washington refrains from hitting Tel Aviv with strong epithets despite causing injuries to more than 76,000 Gazans, Blinken increases his accusations about what he and his government call the violation of human rights in Cuba.
Despite being a poor country, with limited resources and not representing a danger to its security, the Northern power dedicates an unusual length to Cuba in its discussed publication.
It is true that no one has given the United States the mandate to judge respect for citizen prerogatives in the world, as the State Department does every year exclusively and arbitrarily.
But even so, the international community must attend the dissertation, in which the Secretary on duty boasts of what he exposes as proportionality and rectitude.
It is not like this. The scrolls abound in selectivity, politicization and concealment of serious wrongs, such as those committed in the United States with minorities and immigrants.
In relation to Cuba, Blinken's report reiterated the same stereotypes, without referring to the blockade, rejected by the UN General Assembly, as it is a real violation of human rights.
Rightly so, the foreign minister of the largest of the Antilles expressed on the social network
“He is concerned, Rodríguez added, about the rights of arms producers.”
Indeed, in the questioned relationship, the United States reaffirms that its Israeli ally exercises its right to self-defense, that is, it has a white check to cut off lives and force burials in mass graves like those discovered in the southern Gaza Strip hospital of Khan Yunis.
The same government that applauds the fact that the House of Representatives approved assistance to Israel for 26.4 billion dollars, maintains the tightening of the blockade of Cuba unchanged.
Double standards that Blinken cannot hide with his solemn tone.
