On Wednesday, the Senate can act to block weapons to Israel by halting the delivery of the bombs and militarized bulldozers Israel has used to displace and ethnically cleanse more than three million Palestinians and Lebanese from their homes.
The decimation of Gaza’s judicial system has left hundreds of thousands of women unable to claim inheritance, get a divorce, or retain custody of their children. “That is the reality of women in Gaza. We are abandoned,” says Maysoun, a mother of two.
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.
Michael Arria speaks with Afshin Matin-Asgari about his new book, “Axis of Empire,” and how the history of Iran–U.S. relations offers crucial context for understanding Trump’s current war.
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.
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.
Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, Israel launched a massive bombing campaign across Lebanon, killing hundreds of people and threatening to derail the U.S.-Iranian ceasefire before it even begins.
Donald Trump’s naked threats to target Iran’s civilian infrastructure are the culmination of a strand of neoconservative thought that has defined U.S. war-making over three decades, from the Iraq war to Obama’s drone campaigns to the Gaza genocide.
Trump faces a disaster of his own making in Iran. He had no plan to address Iran’s predictable retaliation, including closing the Strait of Hormuz, but even if he did, he faces another problem: Israel, his disastrous choice for a partner in crime.

A revolution is underway within the Jewish community as youth abandon Zionism following the Gaza genocide. While the community scrambles to respond, the Israel lobby is being fractured in the process.
Israel bombed Tehran’s Rafi-Nia synagogue in the middle of the Jewish holiday of Passover. The attack revealed, to a shocking degree, Zionism’s willingness to treat Jewish life as disposable in the service of its ideological project.

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.
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.
Why won’t the mainstream U.S. media report on Israel’s efforts to sabotage Trump’s efforts to end the war with Iran?
