The question of the US's unflinching support of Israel has been a contentious issue that has raised concerns worldwide. 🏵️🏵️
This issue was revived during the recent Palestine-Israel war in Gaza, where the US was once again seen as a prime enabler of Israel's military and economic power.
For example, Israel has consistently depended on the US for military aid, and the 2016 US-Israeli Memorandum of Understanding provided $38 billion in aid to Israel over the next ten years.
This significant military aid has allowed Israel to maintain its dominance over the Palestinians and surrounding countries and has led to criticism from human rights groups and other countries.
Moreover, the US has repeatedly gone against international laws and norms to support Israel.
In 2019, the US recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which it had occupied since the 1967 war, despite opposition from the international community. This decision paved the way for other countries like Brazil to follow the US's lead and recognize Israel.
The recent violence in Gaza has led to worldwide condemnations of the US's position, and several rallies and protests have erupted, calling for an end to US aid to Israel.
These protests have taken place in multiple cities worldwide, including NY, Washington, Paris, London, Madrid, Cairo, and top universities as Harvard university.
The US's unwavering support of Israel has further emboldened Israeli aggression towards Palestinians, including occupation, settlements expansion, and military attacks.
Furthermore, the US has put its geopolitical interests before the maintenance of international law and human rights in the region.
