Instead of midwifing the landmark Middle East peace that he hoped for, Biden became the arms supplier for the leveling of Gaza — a war that killed more women and children in a single year than any other war in the last two decades, according to Oxfam.
Biden restricted and conditioned U.S. arms transfers to Ukraine but worried that doing the same to Israel might tempt Hezbollah to attack it. So Biden kept the arms flowing (with the exception of at least one shipment of 2,000-pound bombs) and never imposed serious restrictions on their use. This impunity emboldened Netanyahu to ignore Biden, and the upshot is that Biden has nurtured not a regional peace but, it seems, a regional war — with America at risk of being sucked in.

It is same what History chronicles events of conflicts, wars, conquests, eulogizing warrior’s chivalries and romanticizing war heroes, but leaves peaceful warriors of love, vigilance, and consciousness as undramatic wanting glamorous attention. Dramatic myth of war shows us biologically aggressive and violent. To maintain peace we have to use force, leaving us with peace unfolding through war as related by the Roman historian Tacitus: “They make a wilderness and call it peace”—a rare insight about the deadly role of war for peace which tempts societies to develop war institutions for self-defense turning into offence. Building war industries, producing horrible weapons, countless amount of hard-earned money is spent, whereas preserving peace needs no money. MIRZA IQBAL ASHRAF
