The fallout from the Democratic National Convention’s snub of Palestinians and the Uncommitted Movement’s delegates…
The big story this week was the Democratic National Convention, where Kamala Harris was nominated to run against Donald Trump this November.
If Kamala Harris wins, does she have it within her to reset the U.S. relationship with the Middle East by forcing Israel to face accountability for its crimes?
“Zippo, Zilch, Zero!” Thomas Nides, the former ambassador to Israel, declared when asked if there is any daylight between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s support for Israel. But now Harris must navigate a Democratic party split on the issue.
Netanyahu ought to be persona non grata in Washington, for his war crimes and nullification of U.S. policy, but the Biden administration is welcoming him with open arms.
The New York Times says Israel has been “forced” to massacre Palestinian civilians because Hamas militants hide in bedrooms. The U.S. used such justifications for massacres in Vietnam.
Jews are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel even as other Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli “genocide.” And the Israel lobby, backed by pro-Israel donors, is what defeated Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York.
