A detailed annotation of the errors and omissions that mislead readers on a profoundly important issue…including little-known information about Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush Sr., who each had moments of clarity on this issue, and called out Israel for its abuses.
There aren’t many populations in the world as helpless as the Palestinians who live in their own country. No one protects their lives and property. They are totally abandoned to their fates. Their houses and cars can be torched, their fields set on fire. It’s all right to shoot them mercilessly, killing old people and babies, with no defense forces at their side. No police, no military: no one…
Kevin McCarthy, Ron DeSantis, Steny Hoyer, et al do Israel’s bidding, cancel First Amendment, criminalize Americans, enable genocide against Palestinian Christians and Muslims, etc…
The May 11, 2022, killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is part of a deadly, decades-long pattern. Over 22 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has documented at least 20 journalists killed by Israeli forces.

Israeli media report that the 2023 defense spending bill just signed into law contains over $500 million for Israel (just the tip of the iceberg of spending for Israel)… AIPAC commended Congress…
Twitter’s secret blacklists are being revealed in the new Twitter Files releases. Will the project also investigate Twitter’s suppression of Palestinian content? Twitter’s former chief censor Yoel Roth has tweeted against criticism of Israel. And one of the journalists investigating Twitter’s censorship, Bari Weiss, has been called a “Zionist fanatic of near-unhinged proportions,” – and says she “happily plead[s] guilty as charged.” Weiss has a history of working to cancel people and suppress negative facts about Israel…
Israeli soldiers killed Mosab Nafal as his family harvested olives. An Israeli spokesperson claims he was shot while throwing stones – his family disagrees.
Weakening Iran & possibly even replacing its government is the most compelling issue for Israel & its powerful US domestic lobby, but the Israeli plan is much broader: to make the US the junior partner providing the money & weapons in an effort to militarily dominate the Middle East… Biden/Blinken administration caves on IDF killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, Syria, etc
