Biden calls for ceasefire in Gaza but fuels Israel with weapons

Trump continued what his predecessors started and Biden is continuing what Trump did. Be it China, Russia, Iran, or Palestine.

US Biden Administration had informed the US Congress of a proposed $735 Million weapons sale to Israel earlier this month. The sale of weapons was approved just before Israel launched an open invasion in the Gaza strip.

Despite calling for a cease-fire the actions of the Biden administration pretty much vary with what it says. While talking about peace and justice, Biden defends the weapon sale to Israel saying the country has a right to defend itself.

The US provides tens of millions of dollars to Israel annually for military aid. Israel is hailed to have the world's strongest Military Defense system and the country seems to be improving on that regularly.

Israel is totally dominating the attacks on Gaza which is said to be a conflict. Why would not it, Gaza does not even have a state, military, navy, or Aviation. It is totally seized by the state of Israel and Hamas, a religious Militant group that is defending the country with few hundreds of rockets which would do almost no damage to Israel with its world's strongest defense system.

Palestinian West Bank and the capital East Jerusalem is under Israeli occupation and Gaza  is under seize and with a total picture of the situation it is clear that Israel is not the one that needs aid from the US to “defend itself.”

The US backs Israel for its own reason. The abundant resources in the middle east, especially oil, make the region far more critical to the United States. The US needs a powerful satellite in the Arab world to destabilize the region and for that matter, Israel needs to be a dominating power in the Middle East.

Despite calling for the cease-fire, the American intentions are clear and it will continue funding the troops and selling weapons to Israel.

Although Biden and Trump seem to have a different stance in foreign and domestic affairs, what Biden has done in the few months of his presidency makes it clear that the differences are only on the words, and what they do are materially almost the same.

Trump continued what his predecessors started and Biden is continuing what Trump did. Be it China, Russia, Iran, or Palestine.
