As the carnage in Gaza continues the Biden administration’s public statements on the situation are becoming more and more ridiculous.

Netanyahu’s declaration that he will not tolerate the creation of a Palestinian state exposed the glaring hypocrisy of Biden policies. And earned mild rebuke from Democrats.

Indiana University is one of the latest schools to crack down on free speech on Palestine. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate votes not to know about Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

Israel supporters have had such kid-glove treatment for so long they have lost all sense of reality and proportion. But the New York Times is cosseting them.

A new Anti-Defamation League report says antisemitic incidents have surged by 360% in the U.S. since the October 7, but it doesn’t take a lot of sleuthing to figure out this stat is fake.

Donors to Penn and Harvard angered by pro-Palestinian activity on campus catalyzed pressure to take down the schools’ presidents. Their message is clear and helps explain Joe Biden’s passivity in the face of Israeli war crimes too.

Claudine Gay stepped down at Harvard after being targeted by an anti-DEI, pro-Israel campaign. Palestinian American Tariq Habash quit the Dept of Education over the Biden administration’s support for “ethnic cleansing by the Israeli government.”

Israel has no vision. It appears now to want world war as a fix to its core problem– that Palestinians have no rights.

Both candidates running for George Santos’ vacated House seat have made support for Israel the central part of their campaigns.
