Russia's war on Ukraine .. What we did not know before about Western hypocrisy

The Russian aggression against Ukraine reveals many facts in the light of which we can discover the future. The most important of these facts is that the United States applies double standards and deals with peoples with prejudice and racism.

Peter Oborne says the West rushed to help Ukraine against a foreign invasion, but had no mercy on Gaza, Yemen, Syria and Myanmar.

Therefore, Auburn describes the West as hypocritical. Condemning Russia's war on Ukraine and describing it as brutal requires at the same time condemning all forms of aggression against peoples, and rejecting the violation of peoples' rights to freedom and democracy.

We sympathize with the people of Ukraine who are exposed to Russian aggression in which Putin uses all weapons of extermination, destruction and sabotage, but this does not mean that the whole world should stand after the dust of Russian aggression against Western double standards has settled and reject Western hypocrisy

Putin exploits Western hypocrisy

Putin noticed that Western hypocrisy and exploited it in attacking the West and the Western media. He said that the West cares about Ukrainians because they are white, referring to the comment of the American CBS channel that Ukraine is a civilized European country, not like Iraq and Syria.

And when Samantha Power went to distribute US aid to Ukrainian refugees who fled the hell of Russian aggression to the Polish border, she said that they look like us, and this shocks us, as the war is no longer targeting poor distant peoples.

Power - who is now leading the American relief operation for the Ukrainian people - was America's ambassador to the United Nations, and she could have helped stop the war on Yemen, but she did not, and preferred a policy of silence, and did not try to condemn the bombs that destroy Yemeni hospitals and schools, and she did not express any Sympathy with the peoples of Yemen, Syria, Gaza and Myanmar.

After the dust settles

This does not mean that we do not sympathize with the people of Ukraine who are exposed to Russian aggression in which Putin uses all weapons of extermination, destruction and sabotage, but it does mean that the whole world must stand after the dust of that aggression against Western double standards has settled, reject Western hypocrisy and search for ways to protect The rights of peoples to freedom and democracy, and protects peoples against foreign aggression without discrimination or racial discrimination.

The strength of the principles is reflected in their application to everyone without discrimination, and the West weakens those principles when it applies them in a biased manner and in accordance with its interests.

The condemnation of external aggression should be a basis for building the just foreign policies of countries that respect themselves and want to build their image in the minds of peoples on the basis of their role in protecting humanitarian principles and defending human and peoples' rights.

As for the state that condemns aggression against a people just because they are white or resemble Western countries while ignoring the tragedies of the Arab and Islamic peoples, it does not deserve respect, and it distorts its image when it applies double standards and uses double standards.

Nor does the West serve the cause of Ukraine and its people, who heroically stand up to the Russian aggression. and sympathy for this issue.

Glory to the resistance

The resistance of the Ukrainian people to Russian aggression arouses admiration in the hearts of all free people, and inspires the peoples who are struggling to extract their rights and liberate their land from occupation. Resistance against aggression and occupation deserves glorification and pride. The progress and development of weapons.

Certainly, all peoples can look at the Ukrainian resistance with admiration, and apply some aspects of the experience that are compatible with their circumstances, but the experiences of all peoples in the resistance must be looked at with justice, and glorified those experiences without discrimination or racial discrimination. There are great experiences presented by peoples such as the resistance It certainly can inspire the peoples and the Ukrainian people with the meanings of courage, determination, steadfastness, heroism and sacrifice.

And the past days have proven that the people of Ukraine did not submit and surrender as Putin thought, and were not broken in front of his missiles, tanks, planes and the cruelty of his army, but the media did not present the true picture of a people resisting and defying hard power, and ignored human experiences, while focusing on missiles, tanks and burning houses.

And the people of Ukraine presented many images of heroism and resistance so far, which deserve glorification and pride, but they were not photographed, at a time when some resorted to forgery and forgery, as the image of the Palestinian girl Ahed Tamimi was published, who faced with strength and courage an Israeli soldier and she was 11 years old at the time. , in a lively and beautiful picture of the resistance, but this picture was published on social media as a picture of a Ukrainian girl heroically confronting a Russian soldier, and this picture got more than 10 million likes.

Peter Oberon reminds the world that the girl Ahed Tamimi was sentenced to prison by the Israeli occupation without the West caring or feeling sorry for her, but he used her image as a Ukrainian girl resisting and defying a Russian soldier.

There are many Ukrainian girls who can imitate Ahed Tamimi in her steadfastness and defiance of the usurping occupier, and the media must portray them without forgery or forgery, and at the same time, these means must depict the integration between the experiences of peoples’ struggle and resistance to the occupation, and glorify all images of heroism. Resistance and sacrifice.

not terrorism

The Ukrainian man who blew himself up in a Russian tank deserves to be glorified and proud of him and presented as a hero who sacrificed his life in defense of his country’s freedom and independence, but at the same time there are many Palestinian men who carried out martyrdom operations and blew up their bodies in the tanks of the Israeli occupier and his army to liberate their land.

While the West glorified the Ukrainian hero, the Palestinian heroes who did the same were described as terrorism, and this certainly constitutes evidence of the danger of the double standards applied by the West, and the unfairness in dealing with the peoples' struggle to liberate from occupation.

We express our admiration for the heroism of the Ukrainian man who sacrificed himself and provided a model for an influential act in resisting the occupation. Many men can present this heroic model, but at the same time the world must respect the heroism of the men of Palestine who sacrificed themselves in the face of the Israeli occupier and to deal with them as heroes. They deserve to be honored and proud of their heroism and sacrifice. They used the same method that the Ukrainian man, whom the West considered a hero and was proud of, used.

The wars of liberation depend on the sacrifices of men who believe in their right to freedom, and strive to liberate their homeland, and these sacrifices deserve pride and glorification, in that the Ukrainian hero is equal with the Palestinian hero without regard to color, race or gender, and this is the justice that the West seems not to know.

boycott too

Peter Oberon quotes Chris Doyle, director of the Center for Arab-English Understanding, that the Palestinians noticed that the world rushed to impose sanctions on Russia and prevent it from participating in cultural and sporting events in rejection of its occupation of Ukraine. The British criminalize this call, so we call for a boycott of Russia, which occupied Ukraine, but this should be applied to the Israeli occupation, as this is justice.

At the same time, the West must be liberated from its racism and hypocrisy, and the media must portray the struggle of peoples and tell the stories of their heroes who resist the occupation. its independence and wresting its rights from tyrants, tyrants and colonial powers.
