The Jewish establishment has been consigned to the support of genocide, and it has accepted that role eagerly. The effect on Judaism of this moral collapse is unfathomable.
Israel’s assault on Gaza has recommenced and the United States has remained steadfast in its backing. But there are signs the Biden administration is becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Palestinians in Gaza don’t have enough aid, and hospitals in northern Gaza are still not receiving fuel. Israel appears determined to continue their assault on Gaza despite U.S. pressure for an extended truce.
The Center for Constitutional Rights has filed a lawsuit against U.S. President Joe Biden, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for failure to prevent, and complicity in, genocide.
Gaza has proven that the United States’ blind support of Israel is incompatible with its broader foreign policy agenda.
Israel continued to pound Gaza with airstrikes for the 6th day Thursday. Settler violence in the West Bank claimed five lives, while calls for ceasefire are overshadowed by brazen U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Gaza.
After pushback from Republicans and right-wing groups Secretary of State Blinken deleted a tweet calling for a cease-fire in Palestine.
Liberal Zionists issue a perfunctory statement of outrage on Mohammed al-Tamimi’s murder– “devastating and awful” — then it’s back to promoting the fantasy of a two-state solution and the insult of the Abraham Accords.
Antony Blinken resurrected the two-state zombie in his address to AIPAC on the 56th anniversary of the 1967 War. But the number of true believers in Washington who buy these fantasies is dwindling.
