Analysis

"They Used to Say Arabs Can’t Have Democracy Because It’d Be Bad for Israel. Now the U.S. Can’t Have It Either"

"Arab publics favor the Palestinians, the thinking goes, & will vote in governments that act accordingly — & that is a no-go zone."

Now, "the U.S., it seems, can’t have democracy either, lest an American democracy end its support for everything & anything Israel wants to do to the Palestinians."

Panel discussion on Biden's weapons "pause"

For the first time since Oct 7, Biden has admitted American weapons have been used to kill civilians. But are his comments any more than an attempt to placate anger at home?

A sobering analysis by Nader Hashemi on the Israel-US tensions over Rafah

"It is important not to exaggerate the tensions between the US & Israel.... It has moved from 100% to 99% support.

"Given rising domestic opposition...Biden wants a lower civilian casualty toll than Israel does.

"Israel can still bomb Rafah with impunity... just not with US-made 2,000-pound bombs that Israel has used in other parts of Gaza".

60+ Journalism Profs Demand Investigation into NYT Article Alleging Mass Rape on Oct 7

"It was very troubling to see such a shoddy article be published without an investigation."
~Prof Deepa Kumar

Numerous media outlets & some NYT staff have raised questions about the piece.

Kumar also decries msm depiction of student encampments as places of violence, when it was police or counter-demonstrators who instigated violence.

Biden threatens to stop sending "certain weapons" to Israel.

But for the upcoming election, would he instead be unstintingly supporting the Zionist State's genocide?

@NotImpressed Yes, a fairly small list, as it is incredibly difficult to build up the required support to enter the race. The #Democrats and #Republicans have happily colluded to try to keep any other contestants out of the race. But my best wishes to ALL those candidates, even those who espouse policies I may not support. #uspol
