The student protests erupting across American universities represent something far beyond a cyclical wave of campus activism. They reflect a profound political crisis that has laid bare the fractures within the Democratic Party.

Antony Blinken claims that Hamas is blocking a ceasefire in Gaza, but it is Israel which has vowed to invade Rafah regardless of an agreement and is absolutely unwilling to declare an end to its genocidal operation.

Faculty members are calling on Morehouse College to rescind its invitation to Joe Biden to speak at its 2024 commencement: “Any college or university that gives its commencement stage to President Biden in this moment is endorsing genocide.”

The number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza nears 35,000. The House of Representatives votes to send $17 billion more in unconditional military aid to Israel.

Palestinian journalists from Gaza are calling on fellow journalists to stand with their colleagues in Gaza and refuse to whitewash the Biden administration’s complicity in genocide by publicly boycotting the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Years before the murder of American aid worker Jacob Flickinger in Gaza brought worldwide outrage this week, and calls to cut off aid to Israel, pro-Palestinian activists condemned Israel’s murder of American Rachel Corrie. Now activists should welcome all those who decry Israeli human rights abuses.

Biden called for an immediate ceasefire during a “tense” call with Netanyahu, but it’s highly doubtful that U.S. policy in Gaza will change.

Benjamin Netanyahu may have been angry the U.S. refused to veto the ceasefire resolution in the U.N. Security Council this week, but he will still use it to prolong the Gaza genocide.

The Palestinian genocide is providing a moment of reckoning for the Jewish community.

Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned delegation to Washington following a U.S. abstention at the U.N. Security Council, saying the Gaza ceasefire resolution which passed marked a “retreat” that “gives Hamas hope.”
