US attitude towards Israel
The world has again seen a palpable US failure to play an impartial role in the Middle East . The US cast a veto against a resolution that would have gone against Israel. It has not only been marked as a great failure of the US as the only superpower, but has also lowered its image among the Muslim countries.
Moreover, US commitment towards the roadmap is not unquestionable. Since it showed loyalty towards Israel unconditionally, as it had done earlier, the US has lost its neutrality.
However, Washington ironically claims itself to be a defender of freedom. Such double standard would add flavour to the rage against the US, especially in Muslim countries. It would also foil the efforts being made by the US to win the war against terrorism.
