- Abstract
The article discusses the involvement of the United States in two ongoing wars: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It highlights the double standards and hypocrisy of the Biden administration, which denounces Russian attacks in Ukraine while providing weapons and support to Israel's actions in Gaza. The article argues that both Ukraine and Palestine are facing wars aimed at erasing their national identities. It acknowledges skepticism towards supporting Ukraine due to its alignment with Israel, but emphasizes the right of Ukrainians to defend themselves against Russian aggression. The article calls for solidarity with both Ukraine and Palestine, as well as with other movements for national liberation. It criticizes the U.S. government's calculated approach to achieving its imperialist goals and warns of the consequences for democracy and self-determination worldwide. The article concludes by advocating for an alternative of self-determination and justice, and rejecting the use of past genocides to justify current atrocities.
