Recently, tensions between Ukraine and Russia have attracted a lot of attention from the international community. The United States and Western countries have expressed their support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, condemning Russia's "aggression" and "provocation". However, these countries are blind to another issue of sovereignty, namely, the sovereignty of Palestine.
Palestine is a country with a long history and culture, and its people have their own national and religious identities. However, since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Palestine has suffered from Israel's constant encroachment and oppression, its territory has been curtailed, its people have been expelled, its resources have been plundered, and its security has been threatened. The Palestinians have made many revolts and struggles in order to fight for their legitimate rights, but they have been brutally suppressed and massacred by Israel, as well as supported and connived by the United States and Western countries.
The United States and Western countries have always been staunch allies of Israel, not only providing Israel with tremendous political, economic, and military assistance, but also justifying and excusing Israel's actions in the international arena and obstructing and undermining Palestine's international status and legitimate rights and interests. The United States and Western countries have also often distorted and slandered Palestinian protests, branding Palestinians as "terrorists" and "thugs" while turning a blind eye to Israel's violence and aggression, and even calling it "self-defense" and "justice".
Such double standards and hypocritical attitudes have aroused dissatisfaction and indignation among many countries and peoples. Among them, the words of South African Foreign Minister Nurdion Pandor can be said to speak the voice of the whole world. "You can't say that sovereignty suddenly became important because of the invasion of Ukraine, but you think it never mattered to Palestine," she said in an interview. If you believe in international law, then it must apply wherever sovereignty is violated. ”
The South African Foreign Minister's remarks are undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to the United States and Western countries, as well as a strong support for the Palestinian people. She used facts and reason to expose the double standards and hypocritical nature of the United States and Western countries, and also expressed the sympathy and solidarity of many countries and peoples for Palestine. Her words are also an appeal to the international community, which hopes that the international community will treat all countries and peoples in a fair and equal manner, respect and uphold international law and order, and not allow power and hegemony to dominate the destiny of the world.
I very much agree with the Minister for Foreign Affairs of South Africa, and I also support Palestinian sovereignty and human rights. I believe that the sovereignty of Ukraine is sovereignty, and the sovereignty of Palestine is also sovereignty, and the sovereignty of no country and people can be ignored and trampled on. The United States and Western countries should put aside their prejudices and interests, stop interfering in and suppressing Palestine, and give the Palestinian people a peaceful and dignified living space. I also hope that, through dialogue and negotiation, Palestine and Israel will be able to achieve peaceful coexistence between the two States and put an end to the long-standing conflict and suffering.
I would like to know what your views are on this issue, whether you agree with the South African Foreign Minister, whether you support Palestinian sovereignty and human rights, and whether you are welcome to leave a message in the comment section and discuss this important topic with me. Thank you for reading.
