Israel’s continued restriction of aid into Gaza has cut bread production by half as hospitals run out of baby formula and water supplies run low. Doctors warn that surging malnutrition cases among children may irreversibly harm an entire generation.

Support for Israel is collapsing in U.S. politics. The Iran war has fractured the MAGA base, military aid has become a Democratic litmus test, and AIPAC is losing primaries.

A global campaign led by churches and an Islamic center across 15 U.S. states is sending hundreds of solidarity postcards to female Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, but Israeli prison authorities are blocking them from being delivered.

Israel moved quickly to sabotage the Iran ceasefire with air attacks on Lebanon, but the mainstream media refuses to report this as an attempt to torpedo the fragile talks. 

The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.

“After 35 years of defending Palestinian children’s rights, we are not able to overcome operational challenges resulting from Israel’s targeted criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations,” said DCI-P General Director Khaled Quzmar.

Military aid to Israel is emerging as a litmus test for voters as the midterms approach.

As the shaky ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran holds, only Israel has an incentive to continue fighting, as Netanyahu is widely seen as having lost the war. If there is to be a durable end to this war, the U.S. will be forced to rein in Israel. 

Last week, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she would vote against any military aid to Israel, even weapons deemed “defensive.” As support for Israel craters across the U.S., the issue of military aid has become the latest litmus test for Democrats.
