Once again, the media are trying to depict the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians as a round of meaningless violence from “both sides” of an equally matched contest — the reality on the ground be damned.
Western states would like to move on as if the Gaza genocide never happened, even though Israel is still terrorizing the Palestinian people. But the legal cases holding Israel and its leaders accountable are going ahead despite their best efforts.
Benjamin Netanyahu is not deterred by diplomatic tough talk behind closed doors. The only thing that can defeat him politically is the end of the war itself — something the United States has the power to make happen.
Israeli historian Amos Goldberg has been a leading critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, which he calls genocide. In an interview, he told Jacobin why the term applies — and why the international community needs to wake up to this reality.
Reporting from Fallujah, Jacobin documents how US-made weapons laced with toxic metals and depleted uranium have turned cities razed by war into biohazards. Soil, bodies, and whole generations are being poisoned in their wake.

Two years into Israel’s genocide, the US movement in solidarity with Palestinians is far weaker than it should be. To cut off American arms to Israel, we need to build a powerful movement oriented to ordinary Americans beyond activist circles.
Israel is fast turning Gaza into a wasteland, the result of decades of occupation and apartheid. Israeli journalist Amira Hass explains what life was like for Palestinians before the current genocide.
Joe Biden convinced himself he could rescue his legacy by securing Palestinian statehood. His blank check to Israel could now make him the leader who killed it for good.
The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh was part of a long pattern of Israel killing Hamas leaders when they offer cease-fires.
To maintain his hold on power, Benjamin Netanyahu is pursuing a brutal forever war against Palestinians. But the costs aren’t just in human lives: Israel’s economy may not be able to sustain this war.
