Nothing Joe Biden has done to rein in Benjamin Netanyahu’s brutality against the people of Gaza has worked. Biden has proven too weak, indecisive, and indulgent of Israel to even induce Netanyahu into making small tweaks to his behavior.
Nearly 50,000 voters in Wisconsin’s Democratic presidential primary just cast ballots for nobody. In state after state, the voters Joe Biden needs are registering their fury about US support for Israel's war on Gaza by voting “uncommitted.”
The Biden administration has been able to maintain a low profile by spreading arms provision to Israel across more than 100 smaller munitions sales — allowing the president to posture as a peacekeeper while US weapons wipe Gaza off the map.
The US and more than a dozen other countries cut off aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza based on charges US intelligence has “low confidence” in. It’s as cruel and absurd as this entire war.
Rep. Andy Ogles’s comment that “we should kill them all” in Gaza has drawn little outrage, to say nothing of public censure like what Rep. Rashida Tlaib has faced. That’s because openly calling for genocide of Palestinians has become normalized in America.
Across the country, pro-Israel groups and billionaires are trying to stop the antiwar movement pushing for a cease-fire in Gaza by bringing down its elected leaders, including Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. These are fights the Left can win with popular support.
Israel claims its brutal assault on Gaza is justified by the Israeli hostages being held by Hamas. But the Israeli government’s actions suggest that it cares little about the hostages’ well-being — and more about using them as anti-Palestinian propaganda.
I’m a historian of US foreign policy. The Biden administration’s effort to muddy the waters about the staggering human toll of Israel’s assault on Gaza is in keeping with Washington’s long history of atrocity denialism on behalf of allies.
One of Joe Biden’s top priorities has been convincing a skeptical world to buy into the "rules-based international order.” His backing of the war in Gaza is completely undercutting that effort.
There are few things more disordered in the world than a Thomas Friedman column.
“Both sides” aren’t to blame in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is.
The only way to stop a bloody and electorally disastrous regional war in the Middle East is for President Joe Biden to do the one thing he wants to avoid: cut off military aid to Israel.
With US arms continuing to flow to Israel as it slaughtered more than 500 people in Lebanon since yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu seems to have few qualms about igniting a full-blown regional war — and US officials aren’t stopping him.
Israel's brutal occupation and refusal to negotiate a just settlement are to blame for the recent spike in violence.
Bolivia has severed diplomatic relations with Israel, and Colombia, Chile, and Honduras have all recalled their ambassadors. Latin America is leading the way in opposing Israel’s war on Gaza.
Permanent occupation by Israel and the subjugation of Palestinians in a land that is nearly half Palestinian will never bring stability and security.
The US public, particularly younger Americans, is becoming more skeptical of unconditional support for Israel. In a brand-new poll, a majority of Democrats say the US should not send more weapons to Israel.
Israeli society has ensured that stray cats in Tel Aviv don’t go hungry — while making sure the people of the Gaza Strip do.
However distorted and exaggerated, antisemitism is a real current in France that needs to be confronted.
