Jews are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel even as other Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli “genocide.” And the Israel lobby, backed by pro-Israel donors, is what defeated Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York.
The Democratic establishment and Israel lobby are seeking to destroy the political career of Rep. Jamaal Bowman because he dared to criticize the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. And many liberals are joining right in.
Two “must-pass” House of Representatives bills to fund the State and Defense Departments show how dangerous Republican Party views on Palestine are.
The Biden administration is playing a shell game with the Gaza ceasefire that aims to trick the Democratic base into thinking meaningful action is taking place to end fighting while still allowing Israel to continue its genocidal campaign.
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.
There are dangerous signs Israel intends to escalate attacks on Lebanon and raise the stakes with Hezbollah. If it does, the risk of a regional war grows enormously. The only way out is to end the fighting in Gaza.
While the details of Joe Biden’s proposal for a Gaza ceasefire remain vague it does make one outcome of the fighting clear: Israel and the United States lost.
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.
