The Hypocrisy of Western Support: America and Israel's Unholy Alliance
The Western double standards in the Middle East are glaring, and it's time we address them head-on. Biden's policies and America's opinions are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the broader conversation. For far too long, America has been Israel's unwavering supporter, ignoring Israel's actions while condemning others. The reality is crystal clear: Israel is the biggest terrorist in the Middle East, and those who resist its occupation are not terrorists but freedom fighters.
David M. Weinberg’s article criticizes Biden for making allowances for Iran while simultaneously "scolding" Israel. But the reality is that Biden's actions are insignificant compared to the longstanding issue: America's unquestioning support for Israel. As Israel continues its aggressive policies, the world's attention should focus on holding it accountable, not Iran or any other nation standing against occupation.
During the recent funeral in Tehran for Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei met with leaders from Hamas, Hezbollah, and other resistance groups. These meetings are not terrorist rendezvous but gatherings of those who resist Israeli and American imperialism. As long as Israel continues to act with impunity, resistance from oppressed groups is justified and necessary.
The Real Issue: Israel's Actions
While Weinberg frets over Iran’s funding and military growth, the spotlight should be on Israel's actions and America's complicit support. Iran and other nations resistant to Western policies have every right to defend themselves. Terrorism is the occupation and subjugation of a people; resistance is the fight for liberation and justice.
Iran’s activities, when compared to Israel’s ongoing oppression of Palestinians, are defensive. Biden’s temporary policies do nothing to address the crux of the issue: Israel’s relentless aggression and America's blind eye to it.
What Needs to Change
The focus needs to shift from managing Iran’s actions to holding Israel accountable for its aggression. America's support for Israel, despite its record of human rights abuses, is the core problem. Every time America supports Israel while critiquing its neighbors, it highlights its hypocrisy.
A Call for Real Change
In the face of Biden’s appeasement and inconsequential sanctions, the message remains clear: The West must cease its support for Israeli terror. By supporting Israel, America is complicit in acts of terrorism. Iran and other resistance movements are not threats; they are defenders in an unjust situation. It’s time we acknowledge resistance as a legitimate fight against oppression.
Conclusion
The global narrative must shift. Israel’s aggression, backed by Western powers, especially the United States, is the true terrorism. Resistance is a justified response to occupation and human rights violations. The world is tired of this hypocrisy. We demand accountability and justice.
Resistance is not terrorism; occupation is. It’s time to stand with those who fight against oppression and for their human rights.
