The Palestinian Authority reportedly received a shipment of armored vehicles and weapons from the U.S. government as part of the Biden administration’s efforts to aid joint Israeli-Palestinian Authority efforts to quash Palestinian resistance.
Even as the Israeli government pushes Palestinians out of large portions of the West Bank, Joe Biden seeks to normalize Netanyahu. He is sure to meet with him later this month at the U.N. Lauding Israeli “democracy” is the Democratic Party line in defiance of its own base. And liberal Zionists go along.
GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he wanted to cut U.S. military aid to Israel. A week later he reversed course.
Joe Biden can’t criticize Netanyahu and support the protest movement in Israel. No, only American Jewish groups have that power, former PM Ehud Barak says.
The White House push for Saudi-Israeli normalization is the tail wagging the dog yet again. The only ones who really want this deal are Israel and its lobby, to distract the world from apartheid in Palestine. So Joe Biden is taking it seriously, dispatching one official after another to the Middle East.
A “town hall” hosted by the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs exposed the charade of Israel’s bid to enter the U.S. waiver program and confirmed what we already knew: Israel has no plans to ensure equality, and the U.S. knows it but doesn’t care.
The Biden administration seems insistent on pushing Israel into the visa waiver program, but unless it forces Israel to ensure complete freedom of movement for Palestinian dual nationals any policy changes are meaningless.
The Biden administration plans to station Marines on commercial ships in the Persian Gulf. This could trigger war with Iran, but most of the mainstream U.S. press is not paying attention.
The Biden administration’s reported efforts to broker a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel are cause for genuine alarm and could make the already horrifying situation for Palestinians much worse.
Biden went out of his way last week to warn Netanyahu not to undermine Israeli courts. He did it anyway. Three leading Israel advocates say there will be no consequences to Netanyahu for doing so, because Biden fears politicizing support for Israel with Republicans.
