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.
AIPAC has spent $12 million in just two congressional races. Joe Biden notices even if the media doesn’t.
The Union of Jewish Students claims to serve the interests of the UK’s Jewish student community. It actually serves the interests of Israel by associating with its “quasi-governmental” Zionist institutions and whitewashing its coloniality.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman says two-thirds of his constituents in NY want a ceasefire, but AIPAC is trying to defeat him because he said we must stand up for the 100,000 Palestinians being killed and wounded by Israel. “[AIPAC’s] number one issue is Israel but they pay to run ads on other issues because they’re an organization that lies to the American people.”
The leading American Jewish groups are stoking anti-Jewish feeling by their own demonstration of anti-Palestinian bigotry: ignoring the famine and massacres of civilians in Gaza that have horrified the world and have led so many to accuse Israel of genocide.
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.
