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.”

Reflections on the obligations of progressive Americans at a time when the Democratic Party has endorsed the idea of a “Jewish state,” which is hurtful to all those not of the right religion.

Even as the Israeli government pushes Palestinians out of large portions of the West Bank, Joe Biden seeks to normalize Netanyahu. He is sure to meet with him later this month at the U.N. Lauding Israeli “democracy” is the Democratic Party line in defiance of its own base. And liberal Zionists go along.

There’s a battle inside American institutions over the truth about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. The left is now fully aware that it’s apartheid and that the issue demands attention. But the establishment is fighting to keep that truth at bay.

Joe Biden can’t criticize Netanyahu and support the protest movement in Israel. No, only American Jewish groups have that power, former PM Ehud Barak says.

The White House push for Saudi-Israeli normalization is the tail wagging the dog yet again. The only ones who really want this deal are Israel and its lobby, to distract the world from apartheid in Palestine. So Joe Biden is taking it seriously, dispatching one official after another to the Middle East.
