The Jewish community and the Democratic Party are being torn apart over their complicity in the Gaza genocide and decades of supporting Palestinian oppression. This overdue reckoning will only be resolved by abandoning Zionism.
The New York Times’ Tom Friedman has warned readers that the current Israeli government “is not an ally,” but on the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, we must recognize that all Israeli governments have participated in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
The dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs combined with outright misinformation about October 7 is the engine powering the genocide in Gaza.
Why is Biden helpless to do what any decent person would do and call for an end to Israel’s apocalyptic destruction and massacres in Gaza? Because he worries about losing the organized Jewish community’s support.
The New York Times is uncritically promoting the Biden administration’s ill-fated efforts to promote Saudi-Israeli normalization while the rest of the U.S. media rightly ignore it.
The Biden administration’s reported efforts to broker a normalization deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel are cause for genuine alarm and could make the already horrifying situation for Palestinians much worse.
Tom Friedman’s erasure of Palestinians is a disturbing and damaging trend in his work. His dehumanization of me and my fellow Palestinians is not acceptable.
Thomas Friedman’s condemnation of Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul is based on the false premise that the Israeli judicial system protects democracy. It never has for the millions of Palestinians under colonial rule.
The media hypes threats by industry to leave Israel over Netanyahu’s “judicial coup.” But Palestinians have demanded divestment for years without press. The double standard shows anti-Palestinianism.
The New York Times barely mentions that the latest settler rampage in Huwwara was a state-sponsored pogrom, presided over by the Israeli army. They don’t want to destroy the two-state illusion.
