Orbits: US Administration’s Double Standards

By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid

(1) Who rules?
In Gaza, America refuses to let Hamas rule Gaza or even have a presence within its geographic area, even if they are accepted by their people.
In Sudan, America is working to impose its agents from Hamdok group, even if they are rejected by the people.

(2) Humanitarian Truces:
In Gaza, America refuses to establish any humanitarian truce for a people dying of hunger, and uses its veto power to object.
In Sudan, it is demanding a three-month humanitarian truce because it knows this will serve its separatist project in Darfur and enable its militias and agents to take power.

(3) Pointing the finger at Israel:
Palestine: America will not point the finger at Israel for genocide, murder, starvation, or human rights violations, no matter what weapons are used to kill innocent people.
Sudan: The US Administration accuses the regular army of using chemical weapons without proof or evidence, just as they did in their war on Iraq: “The Weapons of Mass Destruction Lie”

(4) Imposing Sanctions:
Palestine:
The International Criminal Court is not permitted to indict Netanyahu on any charge. When he was indicted, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on it and deemed it a politicized court.
Sudan: The US imposes sanctions on anyone who violates its project, but it does not impose sanctions on Hamdok group, which ignited the war through the framework agreement and signed, with their ally, Hemedti, the memorandum to disperse the sit-in.

(5) Killing Unarmed Civilians
Palestine: In Gaza, America doesn’t wait for the killing of thousands of children and women to be considered a bad thing, but rather a necessity for the well-being of Israel and its people.
Sudan: uses the term “killing civilians” whenever it aligns with their goals.
It accuses the army of killing civilians, siding with the militias, in order to burn and terrorize “both sides” for the benefit of the group of agents led by Hamdok.

(6) We Open Humanitarian Corridors
Palestine: America rejects any humanitarian corridors because that would keep lives alive. Rather, it allows Israel to strike and bomb aid without even condemning it.
Sudan: demands that the government open corridors and crossings to allow the transfer of weapons and equipment to the militias.
