Only Way to Settlement of Middle East Crisis Lies in
Termination of Double Standards of U.S. and West
Pyongyang, February 8 (KCNA) -- Yang Myong Song, secretary general of the DPRK-
Arab Association, issued the following article "The only way to the settlement of Middle
East crisis lies in the termination of double standards of the U.S. and the West":
The Middle East crisis has further plunged into the vicious cycle of massacre and
retaliation over the years. At the same time, international criticism of the U.S. and the
West unilaterally covering unethical massacres of the Israeli Zionists is mounting.
At the recent forum of ministers of EU and India-Pacific region held in Brussels,
representatives of different countries bitterly accused the West of enforcing extreme
double standards while taking a different attitude towards the Ukrainian situation and the
Middle East crisis.
The Indonesian foreign minister stressed that no state can be put above laws and that
European countries should lend their ears to their hearts, do right things and stop the
cruel acts in Gaza Strip. The foreign minister of Sri Lanka claimed that there can be no
double standards in dealing with the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East.
This is a due denunciation for the shameless behavior of the U.S. and the West who are
persistently turning their faces away from the brutal crimes of Israel while terming
innocent Russia an "aggressor" in relation to the Ukrainian situation.
Historically, the U.S. and the West have planted and systematically grown poisonous
mushroom called Israel in Palestine despite the fierce opposition of the Arab people, out
of ulterior intention to maintain their domination over the Middle East region by fostering
contradictions between Arabians and Jews.
It was none other than the U.S. and western countries that cooked up a brigandish
decision on building a Arab state and a Jewish state by dividing Palestine at the Second
Session of the UN General Assembly in November 1947 and that instigated the Zionists'
territorial expansion ambition by handing over a large number of weapons and
equipment to them after the "founding" of the State of Israel.
Even when Israel brutally suppressed the just struggle of the Palestinian people while
resorting to the expansion of Jewish settlements and the blockade of Gaza Strip, the
U.S. and the West supported Israel, playing the role of blind and deaf mute.
The double standards of the U.S. and the West patronizing Israel are becoming more
apparent with the Middle East crisis as an occasion.
