10,000 more disabled people in Gaza than before war, as death and destruction continue; Israel threatens to destroy Iran; report: Israeli army not ready for a war in Lebanon; Canada is “antisemitic”; national uncommitted movement demands that Biden change course on Gaza; Amal Clooney “is the one that needs to be prosecuted,” not Netanyahu; more.
As the Gaza war rages, Israeli funds target US college campuses and push to redefine antisemitism in US law – part of a sometimes covert operation by the Israeli government to strike back at student protests, human rights organizations and other voices of dissent.
In the wake of the proliferation of pro-Palestine student encampments on American college campuses, accusations of antisemitism are back at the center of U.S. and global political discourse.
Netanyahu raves against Int’l Criminal Court decision, as Gazans are displaced, babies are dying, and the West Bank faces violent invasion; meanwhile, much of the world – but not Biden/Blinken/Schumer – applauds the decision; ICC prosecutor makes his case for continued investigation, refuses bullying attacks; Biden’s strange claim at Clemson; NYPD “aggressive response” to pro-Palestine march
Biden administration pauses shipment of deadliest bombs to Israel; new mass grave holds at least 49 Palestinian bodies; Rafah’s largest hospital shuts down as a result of Israeli invasion, as closed crossings cause severe shortages; Israeli military promise Rafah will not be the end of the war; growing number of West Bank home demolitions; Ohio may use old anti-KKK law against pro-Palestine protesters; two new bills in Congress are new-level ridiculous; almost 700 Jewish profs urge Biden not to sign antisemitism legislation; Bahamas recognizes State of Palestine
Danger in the debris; humanitarian aid entering Gaza still very low; Blinken pressures Hamas to accept truce proposal; hundreds of Gazans missing in Israel; will Knesset shutter Al Jazeera?; Netanyahu doesn’t want war to end; Israelis attack aid convoy; 2 Palestinian prisoners including a doctor die behind bars; up to 80 years to repair Gaza homes; threat of ICC arrest warrants has Israel, US worried; another pro-Israel bill in Congress; campus repression of pro-Palestine protests intensifies
War is profitable for Israel; after ICJ ruling, Israel has failed to change course; “Iron Lady” doctor dodges Israeli sniper bullets to rescue sniper victim; Israeli bombardment reportedly killed 2 Israeli captives, seriously wounded 8; reports on Israel’s possible plans for Rafah invasion; UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese says Oct. 7th was not an antisemitic attack, but a “response to Israel’s oppression.”
The Anti-Defamation League would have us believe that advocacy for Palestinian rights is a threat to American Jewish safety, and that October 7th was an antisemitic incident. Both ideas are false.
Philip Giraldi writes that szaying anything about Israel’s misbehavior can send you to jail…
President Biden is enlisting the support (and tax dollars) of every American in the fight against antisemitism – but this fight could take a very dark turn if we’re not careful.
