Jeffrey Goldberg used to brag of his Israeli military service but this week was forced to withdraw from a speaking event after students asked how a former IDF prison guard could speak on democracy. Zionism has lost its hallowed perch in U.S. society.
The unbelievable onslaught on a captive people in Gaza has at last cracked the conscience of the American Jewish community and sent American Zionists into complete crisis.
Biden is in a quandary on Gaza. His legacy is “genocide,” says the progressive base. But Rep. Brad Sherman accuses “anti-Israel forces” of trying to “penetrate and muddy our national discourse.”
American Zionists are not deluded about Zionism. They know exactly what Israel is, and they are actively supporting blatant supremacy, racism, and apartheid. But that is changing, because Zionism is finally being challenged in the left/liberal press.
The Democratic Party has patched over the contradiction in its coalition between antiwar progressives and Zionists for 60 years. The Gaza genocide is finally causing a crisis.
Pundits and reporters in the mainstream media have a double standard when it comes to Israel and all but lie about apartheid, Jewish nationalism, and the role of the Israel lobby.
We’ve reached the point where Everything that Joe Biden and his associates are saying about the Gaza war is a lie. Because they must deny a truth that is causing worldwide outrage against Israel.
The Israel lobby is attempting to indoctrinate Americans that the context for the October 7 attack is the Holocaust. This is a misrepresentation. The Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
Americans are overwhelmingly for ceasefire by 4 to 1, and Democrats by more than 7 to 1. The reason Biden can’t lift a finger in the face of genocide is that he is afraid of alienating the Israel lobby as a force for his reelection. It’s that simple.
For the last four months the great despair and anguish of our American readers was that the official narrative has kept creaking along in utter indifference to atrocities and destruction on a scale that recalls World War 2. That is changing.
