Jerome Slater’s new “Mythologies Without End” is an indispensable, compelling guide to the truths behind the myths in Israel, Palestine and the Mideast.

“How do 3 million West Bank Palestinians feel about the fact that their ‘neighbors,’ several hundred thousand Jewish settlers, are getting vaccinated and they are not?” The New York Times is unable to ask that simple question about apartheid in an article gushing over Israel’s rollout of vaccinations.

Israel’s shooting of a 24-year-old Palestinian who was trying to hold on to a generator used in construction in occupied territories has been viewed globally. It increases pressure on Americans to shut off the spigot of aid. One thing will stop Israel from ethnic cleansing of West Bank that requires shooting Palestinians: US pressure. But US press and liberal Zionists come up short.

You can watch the cable news networks for hours without stumbling across a single report about Iran. Which means that if the U.S. and Israel do attack before 12 noon on January 20, or if a tragic accident amid the tightened tensions in the regions triggers an outbreak of violence, the American public will have no idea of what just happened.

Netanyahu sticks his thumb in the eye of US security establishment by embracing Jonathan Pollard in Israel, a man who endangered US lives with his espionage. And Pollard flew to Israel on Sheldon Adelson’s plane. The donor has gotten one move after another from Trump on behalf of Israel.

Mondoweiss exists to bring balance to the overwhelmingly biased coverage of Palestinians’ struggle for freedom. Your support shines a light on Israel’s racism, raises up the voices of advocates for Palestine. A friend will donate $20,000, but only if we match that amount by Thursday. Please don’t delay and help us tell the whole story!

Mainstream media reports on how unhinged Donald Trump is becoming concentrate on his efforts to overturn the U.S. election and on his pardons, but don’t pay enough attention to his threats toward Iran.

“$600 for you, $500,000,000 to Israel.” When the COVID-19 relief bill in the Congress began circulating many commentators, including in the mainstream, have jumped on the fact that the massive legislation is bundled alongside other appropriations that include $500 million in military aid to Israel.

The New York Times finally apologized for false reporting on jihadism by Rukmini Callimachi, who “has a pattern of outsourcing much of her analysis to terrorologists such as those at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) and its spinoffs.” But Callimachi was supplying what the NYT wanted.

The latest Trump move to bribe an Arab nation into “recognizing” Israel means practically even less than the first 3 “normalizations” — but could inflame a smoldering colonial conflict some 4000 miles to the west of Tel Aviv.
