    The U.S. power structure is blindly dedicated to Israel

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on June 17, 2024 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    When the board of the Columbia Law Review clumsily censored a pro-Palestinian article it revealed the degree to which pro-Israel ideology is enmeshed in the U.S. power structure. Luckily, a generational shift is changing this before our eyes.

    Israel’s onslaught drags U.S. Jewish life into the abyss

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on December 10, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    The Jewish establishment has been consigned to the support of genocide, and it has accepted that role eagerly. The effect on Judaism of this moral collapse is unfathomable.

    Biden became ‘Genocide Joe’ thanks to the Israel lobby

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 29, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Why is Biden helpless to do what any decent person would do and oppose Israel’s apocalyptic destruction and massacres in Gaza? Because he worries about losing the organized Jewish community’s support.

  • DANA BASH INTERVIEWS ISRAELI AMBASSADOR MICHAEL HERZOG ON CNN, NOV. 26, 2023.

    The Israeli perspective–on genocide–dominates our airwaves

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 26, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    The Israeli ambassador to the United States was on CNN this morning assuring us that when the truce is over, “the operation will resume”—i.e., the vengeful destruction of life and property in Gaza will continue.

    Biden, Jayapal, and liberal Zionists rush to prop up the Israel lobby for 2024

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on July 18, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Liberal Zionists rushed to affirm their support for Israel and hatred of anti-Zionism in the wake of the Pramila Jayapal “racist state” comment because they are afraid the Israel lobby will abandon the Democratic party.

  • Department of State Daily Press briefing April 6, 2023

    Biden administration refuses to condemn Israel storming Al-Aqsa mosque, blocks Security Council statement

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on April 6, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    The Biden State Department refused to condemn Israel’s storming of Al-Aqsa mosque, and blocked a U.N. Security Council statement criticizing the raids.

  • (CARTOON: CARLOS LATUFF)

    The U.S. establishment’s fever to smash Iraq must not be forgotten

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on March 22, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Twenty years ago the entire U.S. establishment lined up behind our war on Iraq. It was one of the greatest disasters in history, and there’s been no accountability.

    Sanders calls for cutting U.S. ‘billions’ to Israel over ‘racist’ moves

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on February 20, 2023 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Israel’s humiliation of the Biden administration over further settlements is causing Israel supporters to call for government action against the country.

    The American Jewish war over Zionism can begin

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 9, 2022 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Zionism destroys everything in its path. It has corrupted every major American Jewish organization. And Netanyahu’s return allows American Jews to acknowledge this.

    How powerful is the Israel lobby?

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on September 27, 2022 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    The Israel lobby just led an attack on Rashida Tlaib to stop any criticism of Israeli colonization of Palestinian land. What else can it do?

    Israel’s friends struggle to justify unprovoked attack that killed 17 children

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on August 12, 2022 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Israel’s supporters are crowing that the Gaza attack was successful, but these advocates have blinded themselves to the moral dimension of such awful force.

    Israel heads further right: 30-40 percent of young support fascistic Jewish party

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on August 10, 2022 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    The Gaza attack has heightened Israel’s right-wing political tilt as it approaches its next election.

  • ISRAELI DEFENSE MINISTER BENNY GANTZ MEETS WITH U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN, DEC. 20, 2021

    Israel pushes U.S. into ‘aggressive posture toward Iran that could spiral into war’ — but mainstream press is indifferent

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on December 15, 2021 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Trump says, Netanyahu was ‘willing to fight Iran to the last American soldier.’ That ought to be big news, as Israel’s defense minister gets unrivaled access in D.C. to threaten war and block the U.S. path to a new Iran deal.

    Israel’s secret ‘evidence’ against rights groups is based on torture and lies, and Europeans rejected it—Palestinian leaders tell a DC audience

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on November 2, 2021 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Leaders of the six Palestinian human rights organizations that Israel has declared to be “terrorist” spoke to a global audience last Friday on a webinar convened by mainstream Washington thinktanks and they repudiated the secret dossiers that Israel has circulated in seeking to ban the organizations.
