Biden is in a quandary on Gaza. His legacy is “genocide,” says the progressive base. But Rep. Brad Sherman accuses “anti-Israel forces” of trying to “penetrate and muddy our national discourse.”
The Biden administration sees Benny Gantz as a leader who can be reasoned with. To his supporters, Gantz sells himself as the “rational” alternative to Netanyahu, but just as iron-fisted in his policies toward Gaza and the Palestinians.
The massacre of the hungry Palestinians should be understood as a harbinger of Israel’s “day after” plan for Gaza and all of Palestine – permanent military occupation.
Israel’s opposition welcomes Supreme Court ruling against Netanyahu’s law restricting judicial powers. Israeli forces kill four Palestinians in a single West Bank village, and a seventh Palestinian prisoner dies in Israeli prisons.
The U.S. Justice Department has informed the Israeli government that the FBI will finally investigate the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, the Palestinian American journalist who was shot during an Israeli raid in May. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has already declared that Israel will not cooperate with the probe.
The racist mobs who lynched Palestinians in May 2021 are now a major political force in Israel. The mask is off for Israeli apartheid.
It appears rather likely that Israel will be seeing one of its most extreme right-wing governments in history…The problem isn’t with Netanyahu, it’s with Israel. And whatever political force may come instead of him may even be worse.
An Israeli delegation recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to pressure the Biden administration into accepting its terror designation for six Palestinian human rights groups.
The heads of six Palestinian organizations “outlawed” by the Israeli government write to Joe Biden demanding the U.S. condemn Israeli attacks against civil society.
Israeli PM Yair Lapid’s unprovoked attack on Gaza that killed 17 children was part of a “good debut” for him with Israeli voters in his race against Netanyahu, says Tal Shalev of Walla News. Lapid faces the “hatred” of rightwing media, who echo Netanyahu’s racist talking point, Lapid can only form the next government with Palestinian parties. Lapid plays along by calling the Palestinian parties “extremist”.
