The Israel lobby is attempting to indoctrinate Americans that the context for the October 7 attack is the Holocaust. This is a misrepresentation. The Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
Americans are overwhelmingly for ceasefire by 4 to 1, and Democrats by more than 7 to 1. The reason Biden can’t lift a finger in the face of genocide is that he is afraid of alienating the Israel lobby as a force for his reelection. It’s that simple.
A recent Guardian article documenting CNN’s bias toward Israel was impressive but lacked one crucial detail: Why CNN has such bias. You don’t have to look farther than CEO David Zaslav to understand the answer is Zionism.
The International Court of Justice rules that it is “plausible” Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile, the West debates what term to use for this historical savagery. Even as it sends shells and blessings to the Israeli bombers.
Zionism’s promise to give Jews freedom in their own land has utterly failed. Jews are more insecure in Israel than ever, while American Jews’ promise to support Israel blindly has allowed Israel to paint itself into a fascistic supremacist corner.
At least five countries have pulled their funding from the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees over Israeli claims that staff members participated in the October 7 attack. Israel keeps killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
A central claim by Israel’s advocates is that supporting Israel is in the U.S. interest. There can be no greater farce when our country has bombed another Arab country to support Israel’s genocide.
Donors to Penn and Harvard angered by pro-Palestinian activity on campus catalyzed pressure to take down the schools’ presidents. Their message is clear and helps explain Joe Biden’s passivity in the face of Israeli war crimes too.
Israel has no vision. It appears now to want world war as a fix to its core problem– that Palestinians have no rights.
Israel’s racism against Palestinians has subsumed official Jewish life. American Jews have abandoned their best traditions out of deference to a militant state that exists in constant fear of those it subjugates.
