The media rapidly put the Ukraine war at the forefront when Russia invaded Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky turned down a ride from the West, asking instead for bullets. He gained celebrity status and widespread adoration, with politicians proudly wearing Ukrainian flag pins. Today, the focus is on Israel, with politicians advocating for military and financial support. According to GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, this selective moral outrage is hypocritical and ignores other global conflicts. He highlights the ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh, which has not received the same level of attention. Azerbaijan has been receiving military aid from the U.S. since 2001, due to its strategic position and fuel supply. The political elite’s selective outrage is driven by financial and corrupting influences. Azerbaijan, an ally against Iran and a major energy supplier to Europe, also purchases sophisticated Israeli weapons. This interwoven support with Israel complicates the condemnation of Azerbaijan’s actions against Armenian Christians. President Biden emphasized the need to back both Israel and Ukraine, but what will history teach us about Azerbaijan? The hope is that those responsible for sacrificing others to maintain moral superiority will answer before God, if not in this lifetime.
