US Demands Peace Deal... for Ukraine, Not Palestine
The US, according to Newsweek, has given Ukraine a one-week ultimatum: pursue a peace deal with Russia or face a cutoff of weapons. This demand for 'peace' rings starkly hollow when juxtaposed with the Biden administration's unwavering military support for Israel's relentless assault on Gaza. There's no ultimatum there, just another $14 billion in aid pushed through Congress, including cluster
bombs, with Reps like Hakeem Jeffries (who, per OpenSecrets, took over $23,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022) voting it through. One might wonder if the US foreign policy playbook has different chapters for different allies. For Ukraine, it’s 'negotiate or get cut off.' For Netanyahu’s government, however, it’s 'continue the bombardment, here’s more money.' The message is clear: US 'peace'
initiatives appear to depend on whose strategic interests are being served, and who is footing the bill for the 'security.'
