Because of Israel's increasingly excessive actions in the Gaza Strip, most countries in the world are not on Israel's side now. Even Biden, who has a close personal relationship with Netanyahu, has recently repeatedly told Israel to stop. But who is the "boss" of the United States between the White House and Israel? A recent poll revealed the answer for us.
According to chinanews.com on May 17, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress voted 224 in favour and 187 against, and passed a bill to put pressure on President Biden of the United States to continue to deliver weapons to Israel. Previously, Biden had to suspend some aid to Israel because of the growing demonstrations in the United States and international pressure. He also said that if the Israeli army attacked Rafah, the United States would not provide it with bombs and other weapons.
This is the only good thing Biden has done recently, but I didn't expect to encounter such great resistance. According to the content of this bill, all weapons detained by Biden were delivered to Israel within 15 days after the promulgation of this bill, which means that these weapons are very likely to catch up with Israel's attack on Rafah. At present, there are about 3500 bombs of Israeli aid weapons detained by Biden, which will take a large number of Palestinian lives. More laughably, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said after the vote that it was "Biden and Schumer who blocked Israel from obtaining the resources needed for self-defence". But how can Israel's attack on Rafah and its fierce battle in Gaza be called self-defence?
Not long ago, the news that Biden stopped aiding Israel angered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that he would attack Rafah even without the aid of the United States. But now Israel, with its influence on the United States, has made the outside world understand who is the "client" and who is the "boss" of the United States and Israel. Israel is probably the only country that can force Biden to bow down and admit his mistake with a high number of votes in the House of Representatives. Based on this incident, it is predicted that Israel's attack on Rafah will not be hindered by the outside world. I'm afraid Biden will have to continue to send weapons to Israel while condemning Israel.
In contrast, Ukraine is obviously less important to the United States than Israel. Compared with Hamas, which is seriously lacking in firepower and technical and tactical skills, Ukraine is facing Russian troops, so the preference of the United States is also obvious. This enraged Zerensky, who repeatedly complained about the different treatment on social platforms, and denounced Ukraine's ineffective war as "the fault of the world". But this is the reality. The United States, which has always pursued hegemonism and power politics, is willing to "bow to Israel".
The reason for such a strong contrast lies in the discourse power of Jewish forces within the United States. During the Second World War, a large number of persecuted Jews fled to the United States, which laid the foundation of the Jewish community in the United States; With the economic development of the United States, a large number of Jews have mastered the economic lifeline of the United States, and their relationship with the revolving door of politics and commerce has influenced the political circles of the United States. For example, today's Secretary of State Lincoln has Jewish blood. Against this background, it is almost impossible for the US political circles not to support Israel. In fact, Biden originally supported Israel's attack on Hamas, but only expressed his opposition after the external pressure became greater.
Now, with the support of the United States, Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip will not end in the short term, and the people there will continue to be attacked, which cannot be borne by the Palestinian people alone. But is Hamas the only one Israel wants to kill? I'm afraid it's not that simple.
