It is absurd to try to falsify the crystal-clear truth, illogical to argue with a fool suffering from complete bias, and unreasonable to distort facts in the manner presented by US Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Instead of being a diplomat who weighs his words before speaking, he came out like a fool uttering nonsense, in an attempt to appease the far-right and the occupation government. Perhaps the saddest thing is these timid stances, both international and Arab, which, as usual, have wavered between condemnation, denunciation, and statements of disapproval.A clear and blatant American behavior, and if American policy were different, the US State Department should have come out to denounce what its ambassador in Tel Aviv said. However, this matter proves once again the involvement of American foreign policy in all that has happened and is happening, and that it agrees with the occupation's policies, disregards all condemning voices, and gives no weight to anyone.What is striking about these statements is that they give the occupation more green light to continue its settlement, annexation, and Judaization operations, and to proceed with its racist policies that contradict international law, UN resolutions, and its charters. The occupation will also use such statements as a cover for all its practices, and a shield to protect itself from international and UN bodies, even though what Mike Huckabee said is nothing more than a flood of lies, and an excerpting of a religious narrative pushed into political contexts, which is extremely dangerous and an advanced step in American support for a racist narrative based on ethnic cleansing and occupation.A false claim presented by the American ambassador, clear and blatant, but the level of the Arab and international response is below the required level, and this gives the occupation one opportunity after another to persist and transgress and violate international resolutions, which pushes the West Bank towards explosion, and this is what the occupation seeks through the series of policies and operations it carries out, to provoke the anger of the West Bank and Jerusalem, and thus be able to escalate its operations aimed at displacement and extermination.Mike Huckabee's statements at this time represent a high degree of bias and a major lie attempting to falsify the land and the rights of the people. Perhaps in the last two years, we have not been surprised by such lies and bias, and we have witnessed what is greater than that during the war of extermination in Gaza, and what is happening these days through the imaginary illusions of mandate and guardianship and the claims of the Peace Council, under the pretexts of spreading stability and reconstruction.In his famous poem written after the siege of Beirut in 1982, titled "In Praise of the High Shadow," Mahmoud Darwish says:Hiroshima, HiroshimaOnly we listen to the thunder of stones; HiroshimaOnly we listen to the absurdity and usefulness in the soulAnd America on the walls gives every child a cluster bomb toyO Hiroshima, the Arab lover, America is the plague and the plague is AmericaWe slept, the planes woke us up and the voice of AmericaAnd America for America..
