Charity Starts at Home

An open letter to Mr. Biden: 

Bravo Mr. Biden:  You really made a wonderful speech at the University of Lithuania during the NATO summit and in the presence of the Ukraine president Zelensky.  He might have been a little disappointed as the decision for Ukraine to join NATO was deferred until after the end of the conflict with Russia.  But you were very clear about your unwavering support of Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.    You used words like “Never and Ever” should one forget the right of people to stand up against such an aggression, and you spoke about common values and the defense of Freedom. 

All the rhetoric that you used was excellent and in accordance with human rights values.  Yet the hypocrisy and the double standards were so glaring that it was pathetic especially that it was  only a few days earlier  that you had justified the Israeli  invasion  with   the most sophisticated armament, on the Palestinian  refugee camp  and the city of Jenin as well as other towns like Huwara and Turmus Aya, as being “the right of Israel to defend itself”.  Really Mr. Biden.  Is this a joke?  Or do you think the whole world is that  dumb to believe that justification?  Maybe they are ,  after all,  when one of the most powerful countries in the world can get away with such a statement.

  I wish you would address your own people Mr. Biden, assuring them that you would never ever allow an American citizen to be homeless and without medical care, while you continue to provide both Israel,  an occupying power, and Ukraine, an occupied country,  with the most sophisticated armament.  Mr. Biden, charity starts at home!!!!

   Again, I'm copying this factual short message, that depicts in few words the entire US. policy toward the harsh realities of the world and its     duality in treating and dealing with them..... 

After the meeting between the president and the Israeli ceremonial president, and the shameful vote in congress to repudiate the opinions of one of its members and confirm that Israel is not a brutal occupier nor an  apartheid entity, I find Mrs. Khoury's message quiet adequate and timely.  Thanks to all my good readers.
