Afrasianet - Dr. Zakaria Shaheen - Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris vows to work to stop the war in the Middle East if she wins the presidency. US B-52 bombers are arriving in the Middle East, the day after Washington announced their deployment to the region in a warning to Iran.
The Military Command for the Middle East and surrounding countries says in a social media post, "B-52 stratofortress strategic bombers from the Fifth Bomb Wing at Minot Air Force Base have arrived in the area of responsibility of U.S. Central Command."
A day earlier , the United States announced the deployment of new military capabilities to the Middle East in a move it said was "in defense of Israel" and to warn Iran, according to a Pentagon statement.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "continues to state clearly that if Iran or its partners or affiliates exploit this moment to target U.S. individuals or interests in the region, the United States will take all necessary measures to defend Americans," the statement said.
These new military capabilities include ballistic missile defenses, fighter jets, B-52 bombers, and other types of military aircraft.
US diplomacy: Supporting Israel is a stain that will haunt Washington for generations
Diplomat Grait graduated from George Washington University with a major in international affairs and Middle Eastern studies, then earned a master's degree from Georgetown University, joined the State Department in 2006, and began a career that included several countries, most notably Yemen, where she served as a political officer.
The administration's recent support for Israel's war on Gaza marked a critical turning point, as it can no longer defend policies that ignore human rights, press freedom, and the protection of civilians.
The US State Department has used terms and statements to justify actions it does not consider legitimate, she said, noting that expressions such as "Israel's right to defend itself" are no longer sufficient to cover what it described as "war crimes" committed against the Palestinian people.
Greit said she had been pressured to use terminology promoted by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to avoid clashing with U.S. laws, including the Leahy Act not to support any training program involving foreign security forces implicated in human rights abuses.
Genocide and ethnic cleansing
The resigned diplomat considered that what is happening in Gaza is nothing but "genocide and ethnic cleansing" accompanied by shameful international silence, stressing that the US government bears a great responsibility in the continuation of this conflict because of its military support for Israel.
Ghrit announced her resignation last April through her account on the site "LinkedIn", explaining that her decision was not easy given that she has been associated with her diplomatic work for 18 years.
However, her continued work as a policy spokesperson justifying violations against Palestinian civilians is morally and humanely unacceptable.
She pointed out that the double standards followed by the US State Department increased its sense of shame, especially in their handling of other wars such as the war in Ukraine, where the State Department showed great sympathy for Ukrainian civilians, while remaining silent about the killing of journalists and civilians in Gaza.
Throughout her diplomatic career, Greit regarded her Arab-American origins as a strength in her work, and felt that her cultural background and language helped her understand the realities of the region and contribute to building bridges between the United States and the Arab world.
But it has found that recent events, especially Washington's support for Israel, deepen the gap and undermine all human values.
Biden's bias towards Zionism
Greit believes Biden 's insistence on unconditional support for Israel is linked to his ideological bias, pointing to his public statements in which he said he was a "committed Zionist."
Institutional corruption has played a large role in guiding U.S. policies; there is a strong overlap between pro-Israel lobbyists and Washington's arms industry.
"Politicians who decide to send weapons are themselves financial beneficiaries of these deals, which creates an incentive for the continued flow of weapons rather than stopping them," she said.
Racism has allowed abuses against Palestinians to be justified, she argues, pointing to a tendency so ingrained in the United States to dehumanize Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims that their deaths have become acceptable.
Greit pointed out that she did not regret the decision to resign, but felt that she had made the right decision on the moral and humanitarian levels, although her work at the US State Department represented more than just a job for her, but she could not be part of an administration that justifies the killing of innocent people.
Concluding her interview with Dissidents, Greit addressed a message to Palestinian civilians, especially women and mothers in Gaza: "I am with you, and my heart is with you. You should know that the majority of the American people are with you, and we will continue to stand by you until this genocide ends."
American Chaos
While the world fears that the Ukraine war will ignite World War III, it is surprised by the beginning of another war waged by Benjamin Netanyahu's government on the Gaza Strip, with the aim of eliminating Hamas, to bring out to the world different narratives, including reshaping the map of the region according to Israel's interests in it.
The war in the Middle East has expanded, and Israel has moved its war from the southern front to the northern front, where Lebanon is witnessing the most violent war in the history of its conflict with the enemy, and some expect the war to roll over with the mutual strikes between Iran and Israel.
There is an American role in building major chaos in the region, published by the Biden administration, which is a continuation of successive policies of successive governments in US administrations, to put forward the project of creative chaos to build the new Middle East.
In the face of the war scene from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, a key player emerges behind the scenes: the United States and its role in igniting wars. America has taken it upon itself to fight Russia through Ukraine, and through that war it seeks to achieve two goals:
The first goal is related to the policy of US President Joe Biden, since he took office in the White House, as he put forward the policy of containment of the rising powers - led by Russia and its ally Beijing - in the project of overthrowing the American hegemony in the world.
The second goal behind the American role in the Ukrainian conflict is the need for America to make Europe afraid in front of the Russian bear, in order to keep the old continent by its side, and even subject to its decisions.
This is what the United States wants in particular, and there are voices that have emerged from European capitals, led by France, to establish a European army capable of protecting Europe's interests, which facilitates work for Beijing and Moscow in building a world order based on multipolarity.
Those who follow the events in the Middle East do not stop at what the Zionist movement that came to power and formed Netanyahu's government wants, as it begins its journey towards the establishment of a Jewish nation-state. Beyond ambition and dreams, there is an American role in building major chaos in the region, published by the Biden administration, which is a continuation of successive policies of successive governments in US administrations, to put forward the project of creative chaos to build the new Middle East.
This has been confirmed by the facts since 2006, through what Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said from Beirut about the launch of the American project, and the project is still in place until 2024, with this project seeking to nullify the Sykes-Picot agreement, and to redivide the region, in line with the American interest.
Creative chaos – as put forward by psychologist Martin Cruzers – with the aim of rearranging the patient's psyche, adopted by the US administration to apply it to the Middle East, and who is better than Netanyahu to apply it?
Even if compromises are imposed in the region and in Eastern Europe, peace will remain lacking as long as the American does not reach his goals and cannot curb Netanyahu's madness in expanding the war.
America benefits from this chaos on various levels, including the separation of the link between countries and oil companies, just as the Iraqi National Oil Company owned by the Iraqi government, as the chaos in the region may put oil fields in the hands of groups that can sell them on the black market at prices below the market price, this is what ISIS was when it imposed its control over the oil fields in Syria and Iraq, and the organization needed a large budget, so it was only selling Its barrels are for America on the black market.
America needs flashpoints in the world to help it achieve its goals and ensure that its companies benefit from surplus profits. For that, America needed another Volodymyr Zelensky in the Middle East, so Netanyahu was the man who provided the most important service to Washington to restore its influence in it, and made it hold cards that had been withdrawn from it with Russia's entry into the Syrian war and the arrival of China by paving its "Silk Road" project.
Therefore, even if settlements are imposed in the region and in Eastern Europe, peace will remain missing as long as the American has not reached his goals and has not been able to curb Netanyahu's madness in expanding the war. Biden was also unable to convince Netanyahu and dissuade him from attacking Tehran after a phone call between the two men on Wednesday, October 10.
