The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice are partnering with campus police to combat antisemitism on campuses across the United States. Advocates fear this will include Palestine solidarity activism.
Joe Biden won’t do anything to punish Israel for breaking its word again on settlements because he needs the Israel lobby to stay with Democrats in 2024. And liberal Zionists seem to go along.
Nikki Haley was the first U.S. governor to sign anti-BDS legislation, and once criticized AIPAC for not being pro-Israel enough. Now, she is preparing to run for president.
“What he talked about was Israel, that’s all he wanted to talk about” — Donald Trump explains the motivation of the late Sheldon Adelson, the biggest donor to the Republican Party, and it goes unreported in the U.S. press. Like Kevin McCarthy fawning over Adelson’s widow Miriam, an Israeli citizen, for giving the Republicans a majority in the House. Imagine a Russian billionaire with that influence!
Donald Trump is pushing Israel as a wedge issue with Democrats, and it seems to be working slightly, with Trump’s Jewish support up to 30 percent. But Haim Saban is all-in for Biden, and some Democratic congresspeople in swing districts are running to Trump’s right on Israel.
Pandering to two pro-Israel groups, Nikki Haley calls Sheldon and Miriam Adelson “national treasures.” She says the Obama administration “led” the UN Security Council resolution against settlements in 2016, pressuring other countries that did not want to vote for it, and making other ambassadors “uncomfortable.”
In a first, US Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley declared that she would vote against a resolution condemning Israel’s control of Syrian Golan since 1967. Israel took the land for strict reasons of greed, as then Defense Minister Moshe Dayan conceded, though the illegal occupation is rarely mentioned in the US press.
The United Nations highest human rights body voted Friday for an independent investigation into human rights violations in “the military assaults on the large-scale civilian protests that began on 30 March 2018,” carried out by Israeli in Gaza.
