The West’s double standards are once again on display in Israel and Palestine
The West’s double standards are once again on display in Israel and Palestine
October 19, 2023
American president Joe Biden is among the latest western politicians to land in Tel Aviv in a show of support to Israel.
As Israel’s primary backer, the United States has sent two aircraft carriers to the region and indicated it could deploy 2,000 American troops to Israel.
Biden was also set to meet Palestinian and Arab leaders in the Jordanian capital Amman. But Jordan cancelled the meeting after a reported airstrike on Oct. 17 killed around 500 people at a Gaza hospital.
In the days after Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel, European and North American governments (with few exceptions) were quick to provide a unified and consistent message of support for Israel.
