The Biden administration could restrain Israel from carrying out possibly genocidal plans in Gaza. Instead it is egging them on.
During an October 10th briefing White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called progressive congress members who have called for a ceasefire in the Middle East “disgraceful” and “repugnant.”
The U.S. has made it clear it will work with Israel to thwart any hope for Palestinian freedom. In response, the Palestinian resistance is doing the only thing it can to demonstrate Palestine will not be buried.
The Biden administration has shifted into high gear to promote a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. As with past Abraham Accord agreements, it is simply a way to sell a massive military upgrade as a “peace deal.”
The Biden administration’s move to allow Israel into the U.S. Visa Waiver Program delivers a massive PR win to a Netanyahu government facing widespread protest at home and abroad.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee is suing the U.S. government over Israel’s entry into the U.S. Visa Waiver Program. “Admitting Israel into the Visa Waiver Program would be an endorsement of discrimination against Palestinian and Arab Americans,” says ADC Director Abed Ayoub.
“Admitting Israel into the program after only a month-and-a-half-long trial after decades of discrimination, occupation, and apartheid is irresponsible,” AJP Action Advocacy Director Ayah Ziyadeh tells Mondoweiss.
Victoria Nuland, deputy secretary of State, says a Saudi normalization deal with Israel will assure Palestinians that the “prospect of a two-state solution stay vibrant and strong.” She’s lying through her teeth.
Palestinians didn’t even get lip service from Joe Biden in his meeting with Netanyahu, promising a White House visit. Biden threw liberal Zionists and Israeli protesters under the bus to keep AIPAC’s support.
Biden will meet Netanyahu at the
U.N. and do nothing to pressure his racist rightwing government because he needs megadonor Haim Saban for 2024 and Saban says, “I’m a one issue guy and my issue is Israel.”
