'For Blinken, the US doesn't have double standards, only one Israeli standard': Marwan Bishara

Al Jazeera’s Marwan Bishara discusses ongoing conversations with Israel about supplying heavy weapons due to concerns about civilian impact in urban areas like Rafah. He highlighted US disappointment with Israel's military progress, emphasising the need for a ceasefire and long-term strategy in Gaza. Bishara criticises what he perceived as the US's lack of red lines and double standards in its approach to the conflict, contrasting Blinken's stance with Biden's more candid approach.

Why doesnt The US give land to them anywhere in the US/europe, where they can live in peace and without fear? The placement of Israel in between all these countries seems to be a very bad decision taken by the west, or was it their plan from the beginning to keep the middle east in an endless war? I dont understand why this is allowed to happen and why noone wants to give the zionists a home in a safe and peaceful neighborhood.

Hms history is one of tragic/heroic overdelivery. Their enemies vastly underestimate them and they underestimate themselves. Their victories aren’t pyrrhic, but they still get burned. eg on October 7 they wanted to poke the bear so it would turn and show its face. It’s so, so much uglier than expected. And the global backlash is orders of magnitude beyond expectation. Militarily, they thought they could win the fight by not losing, but somehow they’re simply winning. If they upend Western hegemony, accidentally, while trying to free Palestine, that would be so on brand. I’m not religious, but I’m open to the idea that Allah is the best planner.
