Israel in the circle of political absurdity

          

       So, after 77 years, when, in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution No. 181 of November 29, 1947, it was decided to create two states of Israel and Palestine in the British mandated territory of Palestine, Palestine finally received the status of a full member of the UN on May 10, 2024. To be honest, this resolution surprised me. The fact is that thanks to resolution No. 181, Israel automatically received membership in the UN, and of course this should have happened to Palestine as well. What was the point of re-involving the UN to re-admit Palestine to the UN? Absurd, nothing less!

       However, one absurdity gives rise to another, no less incredible absurdity. Israel, being a fierce opponent of Palestine's membership in the UN, draws the attention of the international community to the fact that UN resolutions are only advisory in nature and are not obligatory for their implementation. This explanation from Israel again caused bewilderment, because Israel received a mandate for a state and membership in the UN thanks to the resolution. This attitude towards UN resolutions completely nullifies the significance of this international organization.

        I must say the following circumstance is even more absurd. This refers to those 9 countries that are opponents of Palestine’s membership in the UN, motivating their negative attitude towards Palestine and the formation of the state of Palestine by the fact that first this issue should be resolved between Israel, which has the status of a state, and Palestine with an unequal status of autonomy. But, as you know, they have been solving this issue for 75 years to no avail through war, which, like any war, is accompanied by mass deaths of the civilian population. From the first day of the formation of the state, martial law was introduced in Israel, which has not been lifted to this day. True, during the time of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin there was an opportunity to agree on a peaceful solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but everything ended with his murder, and, to be honest, this outrageous murder by an Israeli terrorist was perceived positively by the majority of Israeli citizens. (1) And Today, the Biden administration is sending the decision on the creation of the state of Palestine to Israel, which, unlike the Palestinians, I repeat, has the status of a state. You may say it's nonsense, but this is what is happening. Did they take into account the opinion of the Palestinians when they decided in 1947 to allocate part of the territory of Palestine to the state of Israel, which occupied the entire territory of former Palestine!

       America's mischief-making together with Israel created the absurdity of the situation regarding the creation of the state of Palestine, which had already been resolved back in 1947. (2) According to American President Biden, it is possible to end the confrontation between Jews and Palestinians by creating the state of Palestine, however, on the other hand, America is blocking this possibility by vetoing it in the Security Council. Once again, absurdity and a demonstration of the policy of double standards. (3) Such an immoral position of Biden does not paint America, which stands for justice and democracy.
       Israel's future is at peace with the Arabs, and there is no other option.(4)

Actually, the level of absurdity which and double standards goes pretty much beyond what we all have seen in these latest days of drama within the ONU and the offensive on Rahfa being carried out by Israel, disregarding the opinion and warnings of the United States as an ally.
Joe Biden, as the democrat president he is of course will try to push for the narrative of peace being possible in the middle east through the way of the creation of two separate states, one of the Jewish people and one of those who have Palestinian citizenship, however the problem goes beyond the creation of two states or the division of land.
it has been very clear that neither Palestine nor Israel seem to be willing to live in a peaceful convivence with their neighbors: Palestinian militias and armed groups (which are pretty much antisemitic) have already declared a prolonged war until the  State of Israel completely ceases to exist, on the other hand Israel (while posing as a democratic a peace loving entity) has been trying to slowly but steadily to take over as much land as possible from Palestine. It would seem both entities do not actually seek for peace, but the total destruction of their neighbor.
I am pretty sure Netanyahu must be crossing his fingers for Donald Trump to win the election this year, the Israeli government always seeks unconditional support from the white house and the fact Biden has shown a minimum of concern over the use of the American arsenal against the innocent is Gaza is unconceivable to him.

  Further events depend on who will become the future president of America, but for now the war will continue.

Unfortunately, the war against Hamas and the suffering of the Palestinian people will continue, regardless of the next president of the United States happen to be. See, the defense of Israel is one of the few bi-partisan topics which can be counted on when we talk about American politics. Both Republican and Democrats are unconditional supporters of the existence and defense of the State of Israel, the democrat just happen to be somewhat worried about the security and integrity of the innocent in the Palestinian side.
If Joe Biden gets elected he will eventually continue to send weapons and money to the IDF, perhaps less than they initially, but the flow of support won't stop. On the other hand, if Donald Trump becomes the next president of the USA, as a typical republican he is, he will completely disregard the life and well being of the Palestinian people and will continue to send as much money and weapons as possible to the IDF.
So the presidency of the USA and whoever is on the seat won't make much difference.
It would take a third party candidate to take over the presidency for something to actually to start happening in this war, and we all know that won't happen as the duopoly of politics continue in America...
