Jews are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel even as other Democrats overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli “genocide.” And that is Joe Biden’s political problem.

The U.S. blindness to Palestinian humanity is in full swing again. There are far more important things to worry about in the U.S. than the murders of Palestinian children with American-supplied arms.

Middle East scholars see anti-Palestinian bigotry as far more of a problem on campuses than antisemitism. And they say administrations are wildly out of touch with student and faculty sentiment on protests of the war.

The New York Times says Israel is “forced” to massacre Palestinian civilians because Hamas militants hide in bedrooms, echoing U.S. justifications in Vietnam.

Israel’s inability to solve the Palestinian issue except by apartheid and massacres has fostered a fascistic and racist political culture in the country. But this truth must be kept from Americans.

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 Biden administration is suppressing widespread dissent over its Gaza policy within its ranks, enforcing a “culture of silence,” say some who resigned.

Michael Arria and Phil Weiss unpack a tumultuous week in U.S. politics as Kamala Harris appears to lock up the Democratic Party nomination for president, and Benjamin Netanyahu makes his case for genocide to the U.S. Congress, to rapturous applause.

“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.

Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett has been all over US media calling for an attack on Iran and assassinating Hamas leaders. But his views are fascistic. He praises war and how it transforms society.
