Today, Gaza is on the frontlines, but she is not alone. We call on all Palestinians everywhere to unite in action. Our liberation can only be achieved through a unity of struggle, built upon a unity of people and a unity of land.

In yet another clear sign from Israel, the Knesset overwhelmingly voted this week to reject any “unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.” But this isn’t stopping the Biden administration from clinging to its two-state fantasy.

Gaza’s Heath Ministry announced that Israeli attacks have killed at least 25,105 Palestinians, and injured 62,681, since October 7 as Israeli forces continue to target Al-Amal and Al-Nasser hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip.

Three-fourths of Palestinians in occupied territories believe it is impossible to create a Palestinian state. As a result, 54 percent “support a return to armed confrontation and intifada.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken should publicize Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s call for a Palestinian village to be “erased” and use his global “megaphone” to discredit Smotrich, says Tom Friedman of the NYT. But Chuck Schumer is yucking it up with Netanyahu to please American Jews.

Israel’s new government has cemented apartheid with the annexation of the West Bank and Biden doesn’t care; but American Jews who thrive in a secular democracy should be outraged by what is done in their name.

One positive result of Israel’s rightward shift is that the U.S. discourse of the two-state solution appears to be cracking at last.

In Arizona, a controversy has been ignited over legislators being invited to watch a movie about BDS legislation.

For Democrats in the United States and the political “centrists” in Israel—represented by Joe Biden and Yair Lapid, respectively—the loss of credibility for the two-state solution has meant losing more and more support for Israeli policies. This helps explain the theater we have witnessed in recent days at the United Nations General Assembly and in the American media scene, where the lone Palestinian woman ever elected to Congress has come under unrelenting attack from her own party as well as the opposition. 

Former Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy told the U.N. Security Council this week that the two-state solution is over. “75 years ago, this United Nations offered partition as the political paradigm for the Holy Land. Today that land is de facto united under one dominion.” And it’s apartheid. And influential Jewish organizations who denounce such allegations as antisemitic are a “threat to freedom,” Peter Beinart writes in the New York Times.
