Mondoweiss U.S. Correspondent Michael Arria speaks to Mohammed Khader from the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights about the push in Congress to resettle Palestinian refugees in the U.S.

A week culminating with the massacre of 274 Palestinians in Gaza provided further evidence – though none is needed — that anti-Palestinian bias is simply a rule of American politics, and today maybe the leading rule.

Joe Biden wants it both ways. He wants Democrats to stop criticizing genocide but he also wants the Israel lobby’s support. Thus, he has a ceasefire plan in one hand, and an invitation to Netanyahu, a war criminal, to speak to Congress in the other.

Trump slapped sanctions on the International Criminal Court and the Biden administration lifted them. Now, the White House will collaborate with a bunch of Republicans to reinstate them, because the ICC is going after Israel.

Palestinians brace for an invasion in Rafah as Hamas is expected to respond to a new ceasefire proposal. Meanwhile, Israel continues airstrikes on Gaza, and Gaza City’s municipality says that half of its water wells have been destroyed.

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.

I refused to provide a photo opportunity to the Biden administration because it has aided and abetted the killing of 85 members of my family. I hope they take the time to read about the nightmare all Palestinians in Gaza are living through.

The dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs combined with outright misinformation about October 7 is the engine powering the genocide in Gaza.

Activists are camped outside Antony Blinken’s home to bring the call for a Gaza ceasefire directly to the Secretary of State’s doorstep. The protest is part of an escalating wave of protest directed squarely at the Biden administration.

The State Department has paused funding for UNRWA after the Israeli government accused 12 employees of being involved in the October 7 attack.
