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.”
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.
Ron DeSantis and Hakeem Jeffries went to Israel this week to advance their political ambitions. And their horizons could not be more different than that of the imprisoned Palestinian political figure, Khader Adnan.
“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!
Human rights groups are calling on the Biden administration to cancel plans to build a new US Embassy Compound on stolen Palestinian land in Jerusalem.
The phony antisemitism controversy at Berkeley’s School of Law continues.
A new Trump book by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times is frank about a story the paper was afraid to tell, Trump sold his policy on Israel to his biggest donor the late Sheldon Adelson, whose only concern was Israel. Trump moved the embassy and ended the Iran deal “for Israel,” as Adelson put it, but that corruption was never a scandal for the mainstream press.
A new Reut Group study on anti-Zionism’s steady gains in U.S. discourse sounds like reefer madness of an Islamophobic character: There’s an “Islamo-leftist” coalition of progressives allying with Muslims associated with “Muslim Brotherhood organizations” that are “driven by a vision of establishing an Islamic Caliphate.” Who knew! Jewish progressives have taken this new order to heart, and they “undermine” Jewish “identity, values, narrative, and relations with Israel.”
It is “uncouth” in mainstream media to say that the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Republican funder Miriam Adelson are devoted to the pro-Israel cause. Even as FDD told the IRS that it was founded to promote Israel’s image in America, and Adelson has begun conducting the “Adelson primary,” in which possible Republican candidates for president show off their love of Israel in order to get campaign funds.
By the Israeli standard on which I was brought up, Sheldon Adelson was a good Jew, dedicating his life and fortune to supporting Israel, Avigail Abarbanel writes. But I am much worse than a bad Jew. I am in fact an outright enemy of Israel because I insist that we should uphold justice, equality and human rights indiscriminately, and that all humans deserve an equal opportunity not just to survive, but to develop, grow and fulfill their potential.
