While "concerned" and at the same time blaming "the tragedy in Gaza highlights the moral vacuum in the United States"

　　Up to now, this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has lasted for five full months.

　　As the death toll in the Gaza Strip exceeds 30,000 and the humanitarian crisis worsens, the international community's calls for a ceasefire have further increased.

　　In the absence of Israel, Egypt, Qatar, the United States and Hamas failed to achieve a breakthrough in the new round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations held in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, from the 3rd to the 5th of this month.

　　Mediators hope to achieve a ceasefire before the holy month of Ramadan, and that deadline is now just days away.

　　On the surface, it seems that the relevant differences between Israel and Hamas, as well as within Israel, are difficult to bridge. However, what has been more questioned and criticized by the outside world is the United States' usual "wrong efforts."

　　This is also an important source of difficulties in the ceasefire in Gaza.

　　'Significant but ineffective' US-style aid

　　A brief review of the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict will reveal that Israel and Hamas only briefly ceased fire for a few days in November last year to exchange detainees and other needs.

　　The United Nations Security Council's four efforts to promote a complete ceasefire in Gaza were all forcibly blocked by the United States, which has a veto power, causing widespread dissatisfaction in the international community.

　　The international community's efforts to end the war have frequently been blocked. The fundamental reason behind this is that the United States, as a crucial third party on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, has never changed its "deviant" stance.

　　In addition to trying its best to prevent the Security Council from passing resolutions related to the ceasefire in Gaza, the United States, which claims to "put out the fire" of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, is constantly trying to "put out the fire".

　　On the 4th, the US government once again taught people the American logic of "although... but...".

　　At a State Department briefing, spokesman Matthew Miller opened by expressing "extreme concern" about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

But when asked by a reporter whether the United States was considering suspending military aid to put pressure on Israel, Miller said the United States would continue to provide military aid and support Israel's "legitimate military operations."

　　For this reason, the United States' recent airdrop of humanitarian aid supplies to the Gaza Strip has been criticized by many parties as "hypocrisy" and "showing off."

　　According to Richard Gaughan, United Nations program director of the International Crisis Group, airdropping aid supplies is a "good photo opportunity" but a bad way of aid.

　　He emphasized that the only way to ensure that the Gaza Strip receives adequate aid is to cease fire and allow aid convoys to enter the area smoothly.

　　Dave Harden, former regional director of the US Agency for International Development, said the US airdrop of aid to Gaza was simply to "appease domestic voters."

What the Biden administration should really do is pressure Israel to open more humanitarian access.

　　The UK-based "Medical Aid to the Palestinians" also believes that the United States should prompt Israel to immediately open relevant crossing points to allow aid workers to enter the Gaza Strip safely and without restrictions, instead of airdropping aid supplies, "the most vulnerable groups in the Gaza Strip There is simply no way to get these supplies.”

　　The British "Guardian" report called the US airdrop a "striking but inefficient way of delivering aid" and "nothing more than a gesture."

　　According to reports, the Biden administration appears to have been trying to persuade Israel to allow more aid to Gaza, but to no avail so far.

That’s not surprising, given Biden’s consistent refusal to use America’s formidable influence over Israel — including Israel’s dependence on U.S. arms supplies — to make a real difference.

　　"Hypocrisy is more expensive than honesty"

　　Under the overt persuasion and covert instigation of the United States, the multiple rounds of negotiations on the ceasefire between Palestine and Israel this year have failed to truly meet expectations.

　　Facts over the past few months have proven that the U.S. government's "double standards" approach in the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not only been criticized by thousands of people around the world, but has also been continuously condemned and protested at home.

　　Recently, the death of 25-year-old American soldier Aaron Bushnell, who set himself on fire, shocked the world.

　　Some US media commented that this was an escalation of anger within the US government. "Nothing can better reflect the dissatisfaction with the US policy on Palestine and Israel than an American soldier setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy in the US."

　　At a time when Biden's approval rating is declining and his voter base is shaking, Democratic Congressman Ro Connor suggested that Biden "do something bold" and reverse the unfavorable election situation by calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

　　Connor said in an interview that he believes what Biden needs to do is "end the killing and suffering (in the Gaza Strip)."

　　"The policy of fully embracing (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu has failed to work... Now is the time to call for a permanent ceasefire and release the hostages, and President (Biden) is just one phone call away."

　　An article published by Saudi Arabian media titled "The Shameless Vacuum of Gaza and Western Morality" stated that Israel justified its killings by calling the victims in the Gaza Strip a "mob."

However, the subsequent hypocritical response from the West, especially the United States, is even more disgusting.

　　"Western politicians have lied to the Palestinians, they have lied to the Arabs, they have lied to their own people. And their own people no longer believe them, and the anger is spreading."

　　The American "Foreign Affairs" magazine issued an article stating that the United States is Israel's most important ally and largest source of military assistance.

U.S. law prohibits the provision of weapons to recipient countries that have seriously violated human rights and violated international law.

　　But except for Biden's "off-the-cuff" warning that Israel's "indiscriminate bombing" would damage its reputation, U.S. officials have avoided making it clear that Israel's actions in Gaza are unacceptable.

　　The article believes that the reason why the White House is so duplicitous is that bringing more attention to what is happening in Gaza "will almost certainly force Biden to make policy changes he does not want to make and may give him political weakness in an election year." .

　　However, as long as the Biden administration continues to avoid the reality of Israel's abuse of force in Gaza and "selectively apply" military aid rules, the United States' self-proclaimed "moral authority" will slip further.

　　“The price of honesty is high, but the price of hypocrisy is even higher.”
