Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for continued support for the Gaza genocide may have received rapturous applause from Congress, but the speech revealed uncertain political terrain for Israel among both Democrats and Republicans.
Netanyahu ought to be persona non grata in Washington, for his war crimes and nullification of U.S. policy, but the Biden administration is welcoming him with open arms.
The New York Times says Israel has been “forced” to massacre Palestinian civilians because Hamas militants hide in bedrooms. The U.S. used such justifications for massacres in Vietnam.
Middle East scholars see anti-Palestinian bigotry as far more of a problem on campuses than antisemitism. And they say administrations are wildly out of touch with student and faculty sentiment on protests of the war.
Summer is upon us, but the push to punish pro-Palestine students has not slowed down.
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.
