Afrasianet - Mazen Al , Najjar - Washington does not show any real desire to stop the ongoing genocide around the clock in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing crimes of the occupation and its settlers in the West Bank, but saw the continuation of the genocide as an opportunity to reward the Zionist entity with full normalization with Saudi Arabia.
Despite the United States' monopoly of global hegemony since the fall of the former Soviet Union (1991), American power has shown symptoms of sagging and decline in many respects, but it still holds the elements of that hegemony that were made possible by the post-polar situation from one of the poles of the bipolar system to the position of hegemony in the unipolar system, which it prefers to adhere to an international order (hypothetical liberal) based on the rules of international law, human rights, non-interference in the affairs of other countries and respect for the rights of peoples. in self-determination.
In fact, the Zionist entity, in turn, seems fully aware of other obvious variables, the most important of which is the decline of the West in general. The practices and differences of the West have confirmed this, and after Emmanuel Macron's talk about NATO stroke and the end of Western hegemony in the world, France has renewed its call for Europe to become independent and build its own self-defense.
The Asian rise, and the Chinese in particular, has become a wide field in the map of economy, technology, trade and influence in the world, and many European countries surprised us with positions in support of the decisions of the International Court of Justice on the Israeli genocide, and support for the decision of the prosecution at the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for the Prime Minister of the Zionist entity Benjamin Netanyahu and his Minister of War Yoav Galant, in the context of the investigation into their commission of war crimes in the Gaza Strip, and what this represents of a departure from the Western consensus imposed by the United States, as Western countries began Many are reassessing their foreign positions and policies in isolation from American trends.
It has become clear to the world, especially Asian and African countries, that the West, led by America, has greatly misjudged the power of Russia, the prospects for increased Chinese support, and the expansion of their influence in Africa and the Middle East.
At the same time, the events of the past few years showed that Africa is a continent pregnant with revolutions and turmoil, so the France's status as a colonial power in Africa collapsed, and America tried to fill the vacuum of sudden French absence to no avail, and the biggest surprise was the decision of South Africa to file a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice against "Israel" on charges of committing genocide against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip, and a number of countries of the world joined this call.
Settlement Reference
After the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Flood War, and despite the blind American support for Israel, the Biden administration faced intractability on the part of Benjamin Netanyahu in managing the war, ceasefire negotiations and prisoner exchanges in a way that undermines the foundations of the relationship of dependence of the Zionist entity on the global settlement camp led by the United States, as if Netanyahu and his ruling right-wing Misihani coalition no longer accept the dominant American settlement authority and the implicit and explicit assumptions of its leadership, and employ the global settlement system and its resources and support to serve the goals of his personal survival outside that reference. The consequent contradiction, turmoil and failure to achieve any of the goals of the war of extermination on Gaza exposes the Zionist entity to the dangers of decadence and turmoil that cast a shadow of existential anxiety on the Israeli scene.
It did not stop at the existential despair of the future of this Zionist entity, as expressed daily by the entity's experts, politicians and former and current generals, not to mention that Netanyahu and his government have taken policies and options that embarrass Biden in front of his voters who voted for him and favored him in the 2020 elections, and threatens the chance of his re-election as president in exchange for the superiority of former President Donald Trump, as clearly shown by recent American public opinion polls, not to mention Netanyahu's tampering with the internal American situation, and his quest to favor Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his party at the expense of Biden and the party. The Democrat, and his quest for two decades to transfer the weight of the votes of American Jews who traditionally vote for the Democratic Party to the right and the Republican Party!
Israeli commentator Nahum Barnea recently wrote: "We used to think that in a confrontation between a superpower and a small vassal state, size always determines the shape of the relationship, but it turns out that in relations between Israel governments and democratic administrations it is not size that decides, but rudeness." It is as if to indicate from an invisible party that the arrogance and arrogance of the Zionist entity has reached the point of deluding the possibility of leading the global settlement system instead of America.
In light of this, America's ability to lead the world is eroded, but also to lead its camp and manage its alliances, strategic assets, and international relations. Netanyahu's rebellion against the American leadership confirms again and again this sagging, erosion and regression, weakening America's grip on its close allies, not to mention its ability to deter its sworn adversaries.
In the face of this, the Biden administration's moves and reactions distinguish between Netanyahu and the Zionist entity, exerting internal pressures on Netanyahu, often that do not affect the security of the entity, and unsuccessfully support parties that oppose him, without threatening or harming the interests of the entity and the foundations of its existence, occupation, military superiority, bullying regionally and internationally, and most importantly without any effectiveness or ability to confront Netanyahu's rebellion and restore things to normal within the American hegemony.
Things fall apart!
At the same time, Washington does not show any real desire to stop the ongoing genocide around the clock in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing crimes of the occupation and its settlers in the West Bank, but rather saw the continuation of the genocide as an opportunity to reward the Zionist entity with full normalization with Saudi Arabia and its integration at the head of a regional security system, and even its control over it, and the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and the denial of the existence and rights of its people, like all settlement projects that denied the existence of the indigenous people of the country and exterminated them.
But it is okay to send flour trucks that are eagerly awaited by the victims of starvation, so that the occupation army targets them with bombs and missiles made by Americans and funding, that is, death, destruction and extermination, which represent the most important values common to the settler entities, especially America and the "Israel".
America has never wondered about the justification, usefulness or characterization of targeting civilians with about 3,000 massacres, about 140,000 martyrs, missing and wounded, destroying all hospitals, killing their staff, arresting thousands and torturing them to death, destroying homes, schools, utilities and water wells, bombing displacement centers and tents and burning their residents within 9 months, and it categorically denies that these practices represent acts of genocide.
In light of the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq following the events of September 11, 2001, when the United States intervened militarily in Syria and attacked Iraq and Yemen, the world may still repeat the same mistake when reading the situation of the Soviet Union during the last seventies (with the expansion of its military intervention in Viet Nam, the Middle East, Africa and Afghanistan), i.e. misinterpreting the expansion of American military activity as an indicator of America's growing power, while the intervention, wars, escalation of conflict, the pace of use of violence and the decline in diplomatic capacity to Conflict resolution, and the continued role of the United States as a firefighter as well, is in fact the mask of decline and decline.
It is the settlement and the global settlement system that grinds the world and the scourge of humanity that has not ceased since the sixteenth century, and the world will not know peace, justice or stability unless this system, its components, assumptions and mechanisms of action disintegrate and disappear from the face of this earth. It has proven impossible to live with it or achieve any human liberation and advancement under its hegemony.
In 1958, Nigerian poet, novelist and critic Chinua Achebe (1930-2013) published his best-known novel, Things Fall Apart, which describes the disintegration and survival of the British colonial system in West Africa, which eventually led to the independence of Nigeria and West Africa.
Those who look at the conditions of the hegemony of the global settlement system, especially its Zionist settlement project in Palestine, realize that history does not go back, and that this system is on the way to "collapse" and disintegration, just as previous colonial and settlement systems that failed to eliminate indigenous peoples collapsed and disintegrated, as happened to the settlement of the Crusades, French colonialism in Algeria and the racist regime in Rhodesia and South Africa.
