In addition to killing thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, Israel has been routinely attacking at least four other nations in the region: Iran, Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon. Why does the U.S. media keeps the American public in the dark?
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.
Far from undoing the damage done by Trump’s violation of the Iran Nuclear Deal, Biden is making a bad situation worse by continuing to support a hardline and belligerent Israeli government without knowing its strategy towards Iran.
The Chinese-brokered deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia to restore relations has the potential to shake up regional and global politics for the Palestinians’ benefit.
Israel and its proxies in Washington are stepping up their efforts to promote war against Iran in response to the increasingly positive outlook for a renewed Iran Nuclear Deal. Their arguments, however, can be easily debunked.
While Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz was launching his assault on seven Palestinian NGOs on Thursday, Prime Minister Yair Lapid was pressing the United States closer to an attack on Iran that could send the entire region into an unprecedented conflict.
Once again, the U.S. mainstream media is missing — or covering up — a central reason that Israel carried out a preemptive attack on Gaza, killing 46 people, including 16 children. Yair Lapid used the attack to go ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu in polling in the election campaign.
Joe Biden’s chilling statements to an Israeli TV interviewer, including that he is prepared to use military force against Iran, present a grim outlook for reviving the Iran deal.
The Biden administration’s effort to sweep Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing under the rug shows its keenness to extend Trump’s “Abraham Accords” in the Mideast. Those deals make war with Iran more likely, and promote Israeli arm sales and impunity for human rights violations. And as for the Palestinians, they will be completely buried by the Gulf Arab leadership in the rush to please Washington.
Today’s ‘New York Times’ article on the stalled Iran nuclear deal negotiations could have been ghost-written by Israel’s propaganda apparatus. Its selection of experts is comical: five paragraphs of analysis by Dennis Ross and Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Both are ceaseless advocates for Israel.
