Biden insists Netanyahu is open to a two-state solution, despite Netanyahu stating the opposite. Meanwhile, a Palestinian-American teenager was killed by Israelis in the West Bank, and the UN estimates two mothers are killed in Gaza every hour.
The Biden administration’s “National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia” cannot be taken seriously while the U.S. gives Israel a blank check in Gaza. The U.S. cannot claim to combat Islamophobia at home while attacking Muslim communities abroad.

Palestinians have called for a global strike on Monday as Israel continues to kill Palestinians by the thousands, refusing a ceasefire as analysts warn a miscalculation could trigger a regional war.
As Israel’s kill-count in Gaza tops 12,000, including 5,000 children, Biden sinks further into a “moral abyss,” calling this a war for “democracy.” Our leaders are cracking down on opposition to the war, and trying to push the story under the carpet. But consciousness is rising in the Democratic base, including vigorous antiwar demonstrations.

The western media argues that only Israeli victims deserve justice. Thousands of Palestinians never do.
