U.S. and global politics surrounding Israel are shifting rapidly as the world recoils in horror at Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Here are several lessons the left should take note of.
Zohran Mamdani will need the Jewish establishment to become New York mayor, and liberal Zionists are paving the way. Although this means there will be Zionists in City Hall, they will be playing by new rules set by ascendant pro-Palestine Democrats.
The New York Times’s shocking race-science investigation into Zohran Mamdani shows the paper will stop at nothing to upend the progressive star. It is a clear sign of how the paper is stuck in the worst muck of the Israel lobby.
The New York Times completely failed in its effort to upend Zohran Mamdani. They are unable to understand his wide support because they refuse to acknowledge the rage surging through the Democratic base over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
The Iran crisis has shown yet again how Israel dominates U.S. politics. It also made clear that Zionism is an ideology based on nothing but brutal violence. The urgent task before American Jews is to dissociate themselves from this rogue state.
Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett has been all over US media calling for an attack on Iran and assassinating Hamas leaders. But his views are fascistic. He praises war and how it transforms society, saying that World War II made the U.S. an economic power and October 7 will restore Israeli toughness and patriotism.
“Zippo, Zilch, Zero!” Thomas Nides, the former ambassador to Israel, declared when asked if there is any daylight between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s support for Israel. But now Harris must navigate a Democratic party split on the issue.
Michael Arria and Phil Weiss unpack a tumultuous week in U.S. politics as Kamala Harris appears to lock up the Democratic Party nomination for president, and Benjamin Netanyahu makes his case for genocide to the U.S. Congress, to rapturous applause.
The Biden administration is suppressing widespread dissent over its Gaza policy within its ranks, enforcing a “culture of silence,” say some who resigned.
Netanyahu ought to be persona non grata in Washington, for his war crimes and nullification of U.S. policy, but the Biden administration is welcoming him with open arms.
