Washington has welcomed nearly every escalatory step Israel has taken this year: the killing of Hamas leaders in Beirut and Tehran, the assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and the invasion of south Lebanon.
More than a year since the outbreak of war in Gaza, Israel is pushing on with its devastating offensive in the besieged Palestinian territory, which has killed nearly 42,000 people, while bombing Beirut daily and preparing for an attack against Iran.
As the conflict in Gaza intensifies and spreads across the region, the gap between US rhetoric and policy is widening.
So, is the Biden administration simply failing to rein in Israel – as many liberal commentators have suggested? Or is it actually responsible for the escalation, exploiting the chaos to advance a hawkish agenda against Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah?
The short answer: With its continuing military and diplomatic support for Israel, the US remains a key driver of the violence in the region despite its statements about restraint and calls for a ceasefire, analysts say. While it is difficult to speculate about the administration’s motives or true intentions, there is a growing body of evidence showing that the Biden administration is in lockstep with Israel, not merely a passive ally which is being defied.
(covered head to toe in cow shit) why is no one complimenting my new sunglasses
Except no one here is covered in cow shit, and no one here gives a shit if anyone cares about their new sunglasses. Try again, comrade!
So again, why did you decide to rant, but not talk about how I post articles of all political viewpoints? I mean, unless you are a fucking troll trying to sow doubt and confusion. You MAGA? You act like it.
