The fabrication of events in #Amsterdam last week is so dangerous. Drawing from work of Mouin Rabbani, Owen Jones, Marc Owen Jones, and others, here's an attempt to set the record straight.

#KamalaHarris' sharp response to anti-genocide protesters in Michigan raised concerns among #Palestine advocates. How can Harris resolve this?

There is a lot of thoughtless and uneducated material circulating about toady's attack in the Golan Heights. This piece has some grounded analysis and informational background.

No matter how many times Netanyahu says he won't stop the onslaught on #Gaza until his "goals" are met, Blinken and Biden will still protect him.

While the details of Joe Biden’s proposal for a Gaza ceasefire remain vague it does make one outcome of the fighting clear: Israel and the United States lost.

Every word of this from Barak Ravid proves Biden lied in calling this proposal an "Israeli offer." Even worse, he didn't even bother to coordinate with his ostensible ally, Gantz, or, apparently, any other senior #Israeli officials.
This administration is beyond incompetent, not surprising given the senility of its racist, genocidal leader.

This is unprecedented as far as I know. It is, in fact, historic. Biden staffers organized a vigil outside the #WhiteHouse calling on their boss to call for a ceasefire.
Wow!
And to the staffers, thank you so much!
