In an editorial, the Rodong Simung newspaper recalled that on December 8, the US State Department, without subjecting it to congressional consultation, adopted the decision to immediately deliver about 14,000 self-propelled howitzers to Israel to expand its military operation in the Gaza Strip.
In the vote on the resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel, which took place at a UN Security Council meeting the same day, only the US exercised its veto power, once again discouraging the effort of international society to stop the bloodshed in the Middle East, the article continues.
Rodong Simung pointed out that almost all of the actual power of the political, economic and press circles – among other areas – now lies in the hands of the Jews or the pro-Israel, which is why the policy of favoring Israel is a self-evident demand of Washington.
With this support from the United States, the Zionists have become more arrogant than ever and have become even more fanatically committed to bloodbath, the text continues.
The newspaper recalled that in withdrawing from Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army destroyed all medical equipment and brutally bombed every last medical care center in the northern part of the besieged coastal enclave.
Now even international public opinion, previously rather partisan, is viewing the incident with a new vision, and many countries are joining in condemnation. Time will prove that international society will punish the United States for protecting Israel, the note concludes.
