    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

  • BERNIE SANDERS ON FACE THE NATION, FEB. 19, 2023. SCREENSHOT.

    The American Jewish war over Zionism can begin

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

    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?

  • Death

    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 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.

    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.
