Rep. Jamaal Bowman (l) and challenger George Latimer, Westchester County Executive, face off in debate on May 13, 2024. Screenshot.

Anti-Palestinian racism is the dominant form of bigotry on the Gaza issue. It determines our policy. All mainstream discussions are tainted by an unconscious assumption that Jewish feelings in the US matter more than Palestinian feelings and for that matter, Jewish feelings matter more than Palestinian lives.
