The Israeli-American Council (IAC) annual summit featured further consternation over Israel’s flailing brand.
Joe Biden wants it both ways. He wants Democrats to stop criticizing genocide but he also wants the Israel lobby’s support. Thus, he has a ceasefire plan in one hand, and an invitation to Netanyahu, a war criminal, to speak to Congress in the other.
Nine of Biden’s top 25 donors are staunch supporters of Israel. While a clutch of billionaires is working behind the scenes to “help win the war” of public opinion for Israel, the Washington Post reports.
Anti-Palestinian racism is the dominant form of bigotry on the Gaza issue. It determines our policy. All mainstream discussions are tainted by an unconscious assumption that Jewish feelings in the US matter more than Palestinian feelings and for that matter, Jewish feelings matter more than Palestinian lives.
Pundits and reporters in the mainstream media have a double standard when it comes to Israel and all but lie about apartheid, Jewish nationalism, and the role of the Israel lobby.
We’ve reached the point where Everything that Joe Biden and his associates are saying about the Gaza war is a lie. Because they must deny a truth that is causing worldwide outrage against Israel.
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.”
In a recent interview billionaire and Democratic megadonor Haim Saban said that Bernie Sanders was a “self-hating Jew” and an “Israel-hater,” and defended his support for the lobbying group AIPAC.
Longtime Israel lobbyist Martin Indyk says Joe Biden’s rebuke of Benjamin Netanyahu last month will have dramatic consequences on the Israeli leader’s ability to influence US politics.
It’s O.K. in the Democratic Party to critique white supremacy in the U.S. but dare to bring up Jewish supremacy in Israel and cite apartheid reports and you will get railroaded as a supposed antisemite. Aided by megadonor Haim Saban, the Israel lobby group AIPAC has raised nearly $16 million in three months to take on Democratic candidates who might “undermine” the relationship with Israel.
