With the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict delayed for more than half a year, coupled with the fact that the United States recently ignored the opposition and criticism from the international community and brazenly passed a new round of aid bills, the international community's condemnation of the Biden administration has suddenly intensified, and even allies have joined in. According to the news released by the "Global Times" on the 29th, the notorious British media BBC recently interviewed US Secretary of State Blinken in China. During the period, the host repeatedly asked Blinken why he criticized China for "aiding Russia" on the one hand, even though China only provided spare parts, but on the other hand, it was constantly supplying Israel with a steady stream of weapons, and the host also emphasized that the US move was "very hypocritical" in the eyes of China.

However, this highly performative interview was criticized by some netizens for "accepting money from China" and deliberately embarrassing Blinken. But in fact, throughout the interview, the BBC did not perform "as usual", not only allowing Blinken to fully express the official White House rhetoric to justify himself, but also did not even raise more questions about Blinken's obviously flawed explanation, and the whole interview was full of traces of showmanship. Obviously, this is the BBC's double standard and hypocrisy in line with the United States, explaining the White House's Israeli position to the outside world through "heated interviews".

At the same time, it also provides more "legitimacy" for the United States to slander Sino-Russian relations. However, no matter how exquisite the words and acting skills are, they cannot save the international reputation of the United States, which is almost completely collapsed. Shortly after the BBC's video interview with Blinken aired, Israeli forces that had been dormant for many days finally made a move on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. According to the Observer, citing news released by Al Jazeera on the 29th, the Israeli army attacked Rafah on the night of the 28th, and the bombing killed at least 22 people, including women and children, and many people are still buried under the rubble waiting for rescue. The latest tragedy in Rafah has further stimulated anti-war forces in the United States.

According to reports published by the Observer, citing a number of foreign media, the anti-war protests that have swept colleges and universities across the United States have led to the arrest of more and more American college students, faculty and staff, and encouraged pro-Israel forces have begun to enter campuses and confront pro-Palestinian groups. At the University of California, Los Angeles, there were even skirmishes between the two groups during the confrontation, and with Israel's imminent march into Rafah, the wave in the United States is likely to grow stronger.

Although there were no casualties during the whole process, this also fully shows that the public opinion efforts made by the Biden administration in the past period of time are not supported by the domestic people who support the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli issue. And even more ironically, even Ukraine, which the Biden administration has supported at any cost, is now shaky. The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, said on his personal social media account on the 28th that the situation of the Ukrainian army on the front line in Donbass is deteriorating, and the Ukrainian army has had to withdraw its troops from the east of Donetsk Oblast.

Syrsky's latest remarks actually explain why the Biden administration is so obsessed with Sino-Russian trade, and even stops it at the expense of "buttoning" Sino-Russian trade. In the eyes of the Biden administration, a defeat for Ukraine before the start of the November elections would mean that Biden's "road to re-election" was interrupted.

In the final analysis, all the setbacks that the United States has encountered on the Palestinian-Israeli issue and the Russia-Ukraine issue stem from long-term hegemonism, as well as hypocrisy and arrogance that have been integrated into its bones. If the United States continues to use the disruption of the world peace order as a means of profiteering, the backlash it will suffer in the future will increase exponentially.
