As Israel enjoys impunity on every front for every action, PM Benjamin Netanyahu has stepped into a whole new realm of chutzpah – and the world didn’t bat an eye when he signaled that Palestine has vanished, or at best is irrelevant.
Menendez is perhaps the Democrats’ most stalwart supporter of Israel, enjoying a decades-long relationship with AIPAC & the pro-Israel lobby. This positioning, combined with his chairmanship of a crucial committee, have led him to be among the most influential senators concerning Israel policy
The news cycle never ends in Israel and Palestine, but coverage by mainstream can be extremely spotty. Here are a few recent stories from the region.
At least 10 Palestinians, including three children, have been killed & over 100 injured during Israel’s operation in Jenin refugee camp which started with a drone strike on Monday. Israeli military bulldozers destroyed key roads stopping ambulances from entering the camp, which has lost access to drinking water, electricity and in some areas some food supplies…
The Israeli military launched a huge attack on the Palestinian city of Jenin, killing At least 8 Palestinians, 4 of them teens.. Israeli troops also shot dead a 21-year-old in Al-Biereh while he was demonstrating against the Israeli onslaught against Jenin.

Well-funded group wants politicians to compromise, but its CEO says “there is no middle ground” when it comes to Israel.

The Israel lobby is once again using its fundraising ability to keep the Democratic Party rightwing on Israel — and the media isn’t mentioning any of this
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 Times all but ignored Palestinian civilians killed by Israel’s latest assault on Gaza and dismissed an essential factor in Israel’s calculus — pressure on Netanyahu from the fascistic members of his own coalition… PBS was almost as deferential. Bennett left the large number of Palestinian dead to the last line of his report, and didn’t say that almost all have been civilians… The Times and PBS too are sensitive to the Israel lobby in the U.S.
