Israeli plans to annex the West Bank are “dead,” says reporter Barak Ravid. That’s a demonstration of the power of Israel lobby organizations in the U.S. to stop the Israeli government. They could do the same thing on unending settlements, if they would just take a stand.

“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.

In a lengthy piece portraying Raphael Warnock as a progressive, the NYT leaves out the 180 he did on Israel criticism under pressure from the Israel lobby. To bring attention to Warnock’s collapse would undermine the fallacy that the Israel lobby maintains in the Democratic Party, you can be progressive except on Palestine.

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.

The neocons were a conspiracy in plain sight who fomented the Iraq war, says star academic Heather Cox Richardson, dismissing “tin foil hat” theorizing. Though even her questioning about the causes of the war stops short of the role of Israel in neoconservative thought.

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.

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.

The antisemitism controversy in the British Labour Party was orchestrated by rightwingers and Israel supporters. Joshua Leifer of Jewish Currents fails to call out the bigotry of those who attacked Corbyn. Tony Greenstein relates the true history of Corbyn’s downfall.

The murder by Israeli soldiers of Ali Abu Alia was the 6th killing of a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank this year. And though Israeli soldiers have killed 155 children in West Bank in recent years, they have had near complete impunity– a process “unworthy of a country that proclaims it lives by rule of law,” the U.N. says. And liberal Zionist organizations maintain that impunity by insisting Israel keep getting U.S. military aid.

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.
