US Secretary of Defense releases statement
In order for the US policy to turn to balance, justice and objectivity, it must look at Palestine as it looks at Ukraine, and deal with Palestine as it deals with Ukraine.
Washington considers the Russian invasion of Ukraine an aggression and occupation, which it condemns, and is working against it diplomatically, politically, financially, securityly, and militarily.
Therefore, Washington must stand with Palestine against the colony, and against its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people:
First: In order for it to be truly a balanced state that looks with respect at the right to self-determination for the Palestinians, and rejects the oppression, occupation and colonialism befalling the Palestinian people.
Second: Because Palestine, as a people and a state, with the approval of the United Nations and its resolutions, is exposed to occupation, colonialism, confiscation, and racial discrimination, and its people are subjected to its three components: 1- The Palestinians of the 48 areas, through discrimination and racism, 2- The Palestinians of the 67 areas, by occupation, oppression, military rule, and daily killing, 3- The Palestinians of asylum And homelessness and exile by denying the right to return to their homes and their possessions from which they were expelled.
Third: Because the colony is an expansionist colonial project, its practices denounce all United Nations resolutions and institutions, and it also refuses to implement all United Nations resolutions, and not to acquiesce in withdrawal. Its practices are also denounced by international institutions of importance and competence: 1- Israeli B'Tselem, 2- American Human Rights Watch, 3 - British Amnitsy, describing its behavior and dealing with the Palestinian people as apartheid.
In order for the United States to gain respect and balance, it must treat Palestine as it treats Ukraine, and treat the colony as it treats Russia, and impose sanctions on the colony as it imposes them on Russia. For the Syrians, and for southern Lebanon, not to be isolated in the United Nations when it stands with the colony and votes in favor of it with several few countries that do not exceed ten countries at best, when the Palestinian issue is presented to the United Nations institutions, and the cruelty and abuse the Palestinian people are subjected to at the hands of The colony and its tools are from the occupation army, its apparatus, and its settlers.
Washington's statements and stances towards Ukraine are provocative, the latest of which was what US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said about their support for Ukraine, while it stands with the colony in contradiction with humanitarian and moral standards because it stands with the most cruel, unjust and most obvious occupation in decades, and in this way it deals with double standards and inverted standards that make it lose its moral standing As a major foundation of the United Nations.
