Senior EU officials called on the United States not to pay lip service to criticism of Israel

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-02-17

Since the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States ** Biden has attacked Israel for its "excessive" attacks in Gaza. Borrell, the top head of the European Union's foreign and security affairs, said on the 9th that the United States should stop providing military support to Israel, and pointed out that the Americans should not just pay lip service to Israel's accusations.

In response to the Palestinian-Israeli situation, the United States condemned Israel's "excesses" in Gaza on the 24th.

Biden: As you know, I think Israel's response to Gaza has been a bit aggressive.

On Tuesday, the European Union's top foreign and security chief, Josep Borrell, said the United States should stop helping the Israeli military if he did believe it was going too far.

Borrell: That's what Biden said, and it's unequal, and that's a very serious problem. If you think that there are a lot of people in ***, maybe you won't give more to Israel, so that so many people won't die in the war.

Borrell also asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the plans to relocate a large number of people from the city of Rafah.

Borrell: Israel is moving a large number of Latin Americans to the moon? Israel is ready to send them to **? If people in the world feel that this war has caused too much **, then we should probably think about who is ** these **.

On the same day, when asked by a reporter how US spokesman Matthew Miller reacted to Borrell's comments, Miller believed that cutting aid to Israel would not increase Israel's influence, not as the United States is doing now.

And at the White House press conference that day, they even made it clear that they would continue to support Israel and guarantee their combat capability.

US**: Did Mr. Obama threaten Israel to attack Rafah despite the losses of its people when he was providing military aid to Israel?

John Kirby, a spokeswoman for the White House Office of Defense Affairs: "We will, as always, be on the side of Israel, who have the right to defend themselves and resist Hamas." We will also ensure that Israel has the means and the strength to do so. ”

Expert Analysis|Why can the United States continue to provide arms after it is "the most ruthless"?

No matter how poisonous he says, he won't do it too much. After the so-called "toughest accusations" against Israel, the United States continues to arms it. Is this "condemnation" really a "performance"? I would like to invite Mr. Li Shaoxian, Director of the Institute of Chinese Arab Studies at Ningxia University, for analysis.

The "old tradition" of the White House is that its positions on the Palestinian-Israeli issue are contradictory.

Li Shaoxian, director of the Institute of Chinese Arab Studies at Ningxia University: Since the beginning of the new round of friction between Palestine and Israel, the United States' attitude on this issue has been very complicated. On the one hand, there is a unilateral preference for Israel, on the other hand, there is a preference for Israel, one is a large-scale military in the Middle East, one is a protection of Israel, one is the assertion of Israel's right to self-defence, and the other is the "knock-out" of any truce of the United Nations, including the United Nations. However, from another angle, the United States is also constantly making new attempts to prevent the new Palestinian-Israeli contradictions from turning into regional and regional wars. As a result, the United States has always been in a dilemma.

Historically, there have always been significant differences between Europe and the United States around the Palestinian-Israeli issue.

Li Shaoxian, director of the Institute of Chinese Arab Studies at Ningxia University: Therefore, the European Union has diverged in the attitude of the United States, and Borrell, the top European diplomat, has openly demanded that the United States suspend or curtail military support for Israel. What do the two countries think about this issue? In fact, there are significant differences between Europe and the United States in the Middle East and between Palestine and Israel. The attitude of the United States towards Israel has also been tilted. By contrast, the European Union is much more just because it values the rights and interests of the Palestinian people.

Jewish lobbyists "kidnapped" American foreign policy.

Li Shaoxian, director of the Institute of Chinese and Arab Studies at Ningxia University: I think that there are differences of opinion between Europe and the United States on how to deal with the Palestinian-Israeli issue and how to deal with the Middle East, which shows that compared with the United States, Europe is not as swayed by groups outside the House as the United States, and American politics is swayed by radicals outside the House. According to the American scholar Mearsheimer, US foreign policy was "kidnapped" by Israel and "kidnapped" by external Jewish groups. Therefore, whether it is peace between Palestine and Israel or the Middle East, there are significant differences between Europe and the United States, and they all stem from this.
