Biden’s Attempt to Get Tough on Netanyahu Quietly Failed

The War on UNRWA Is Israel’s Awful, Absurd War in Microcosm

US Elected Officials Keep Explicitly Supporting Genocide

For Netanyahu’s Government, Israeli Hostages Are Just a Propaganda Tool
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.
Joe Biden Is Engaging in Atrocity Denialism for Israel. It Has a Long History.
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.
Joe Biden’s Backing of Israel’s War Is Making a Mockery of the “Rules-Based World Order”

Germany’s Next Government Could Be Even Worse on Palestine
Sunday’s German election brought victory for Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democrats. Despite the fragile cease-fire in Gaza, the incoming government threatens even sharper repression against the pro-Palestinian movement.

There are few things more disordered in the world than a Thomas Friedman column.
A Plague on One House
“Both sides” aren’t to blame in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is.

Netanyahu Has to Be Forced to Stop
