United States is undeniably a great power, it’s military, economy, culture and language, dominates the world in a way unparallel on the globe. United States has always been vocal about the protection of Human Rights sensing its power on the world stage. United States knows it’s potential to make a significant change and influence gobal politics in its national interest or what it has always preached protection of human rights United states portrayal of itself as a champion of human rights contradicts it’s policy and policy driven actions against the world it started to hate after the event of 911. United states undue favour to Israel and backing of Ukraine against Russia has made it crystal dearthat United states can and will act and respond in accordance with it’s national interest. Although tiberal schodl of thought is primarily prevalent in the American Society and law unlike it’s foreign policy where realism dominates their course of action around the world, depicts that United States hasn’t been a monarch that would ever brought justice to his people. More than 30000 Palestinian civitians including women and children are dead, most of the Gazans are faced with hunger and disease, homelessness and uncertainty prevails in the 365 square kilometre strip of Gaza. The hel ike situation in Gaza has motivated some common Americans to voice their support for Palestine. Taria Habash leaving his position n Biden administration called United states policy ” dehumanising” after it extended it’s support to Israel despite the fact that many human rights experts has atready pronounced sraeli bombardments as genocide. Aaron Bushnell, an American Air Force serviceman set himself on fire Infront of Israeli embassy in Washington DCto protest against the genocide with many other instances ot such sort. UShas provided 44.2 billion dollars in military assistance to Ukraine since the Russian nvasion and provide 3.3 billion dollars on yearty basis to Israel under it’s Foreign Military Fnancing program. On the European front United States is calling for global unity against the Russian aggression and it’s llegal territorial expansion meanwhile maintaining it’s cooperation with Israet in it’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian civilians marks the beginning of sheer uncertainty and utter unpredictability tor the future humanism at the ands of United States. There is a saying “with great power comes great responsibility” but it is evident now from the role of United States on gtobal stage in regards with conflicts that leads to humanitarian crises that United states had taken great responsibility having great power but it has turned nto something like “with great power comes great misuse”. The deliberate dual ntemational behaviour of United States unleashes the pseudo element in American humanism in a way where even American citizens are now becoming skeptical of their govermment’s policies. According to Pew research 36% ot Americans favor providing U.S. military aid to help Israet in its war against Hamas, while 34% oppose it. The remainder say they neither favor nor oppose military aid (14%) or are not sure (15%). Athough the majority is still along with government’s narrative but a considerable minority cppose the govemment’s stance, the number could increase further if negtigence persisted. The results shows that American public who is against Israeli tyranny is though less as compare to those who supports Israel but has a sufficient minority, I neutrals added, it becomes dear that American voter has littie or no role when it comes to foreign policy decision making thus making the American government solely responsible for it’s intemational responses around the world and subsequently affirms the pseudo element in United States ntemational behaviour twards humanity. The aforementioned data And figures In the context of United States international behaviour suggests that the future of humanism at the hands of United States is more darker than ever, the American aura is dectining at a pace never seen before due to its utter dual attitude towards the subject ofhumanity, from allowing genocidal campaigns on the Arab soil and caling for peace on the European soil to funding Ukraine for self defense and arming Israel for aggression has brought the image of United States to an absolute disgrace. The once cherished, praised and celebrated United States for its efforts in favour of humanity is now experiencing backash not only from the outside world but also from the very inside. The Machiavellian approach in foreign policy has superseded the moral approach long ago but now with an absolute display of dealing humanism with different attitudes in different regions at the same time, United States has put it’s prestige at stake, leaving no space for itself to even fake or pretend humane approaches anymore. Thus making the notion “United States, the saviour of humanity” parallel to a myth in real worid and paves the way for the descontruction of thoughts aligned with the American pseudo Humanism.
