Despite near unanimity of support for Israel in the US political establishment these days, some voices are making it into the mainstream media to explain the causes of violence and state that while they condemn the Hamas attacks on civilians, they were not “unprovoked.”

Hamas attack will likely set back Israel-Saudi normalization plan, which was hateful to Palestinians, but could also reduce sympathy for Palestinians and BDS among Democratic voters in the U.S.

It did not take very long for Israel’s friends in the U.S., including many liberal Democrats and liberal Zionist organizations, to declare utter support for Israel against Hamas “terrorists.”

The Israeli oppressors of Palestinians openly identify themselves as Jews with Jewish values. But Mohammed El-Kurd is not allowed to say so lest he get labeled antisemitic. And the same goes for those who say the Israel lobby is Jewish.

Victoria Nuland, deputy secretary of State, says a Saudi normalization deal with Israel will assure Palestinians that the “prospect of a two-state solution stay vibrant and strong.” She’s lying through her teeth.

Palestinians didn’t even get lip service from Joe Biden in his meeting with Netanyahu, promising a White House visit. Biden threw liberal Zionists and Israeli protesters under the bus to keep AIPAC’s support.

Biden will meet Netanyahu at the
U.N. and do nothing to pressure his racist rightwing government because he needs megadonor Haim Saban for 2024 and Saban says, “I’m a one issue guy and my issue is Israel.”

The heroes of “60 Minutes” report on Israeli protests were reservists refusing to serve. “If you want pilots to be able to fly and shoot bombs and missiles into houses knowing they might be killing children, they must have the strongest confidence in the people making those decisions,” says a helicopter pilot.

U.S. media celebrated Oslo this week as a noble undertaking. But the Accords have been a cruel charade for Palestinians living under apartheid. “Accepting a life of subjugation to apartheid is not an option for Palestinians,” Mustafa Barghouti explains.

Netanyahu’s hasbara minister says there is no occupied land in Palestine and peddles Zionist mythology. “We haven’t stolen anything…. This house is ours by deed.”
