Interview with Pulitzer Winner Nathan Thrall on Israel’s System of Domination
Thrall discusses Biden's weapons "pause"; the ceasefire talks; anti-Netanyahu protests; Israel's crackdown in the West Bank; & the conflation of legitimate criticism with antisemitism.
Thrall says debates over the future of a Palestinian state are an enormous distraction from Israel’s system of domination that has lasted for over half a century & isn't going anywhere.
“The #US weapons ‘pause’ doesn't apply to the $26 Billion in ADDITIONAL #Israel ‘aid’ passed by US #Congress, along with $827 million MORE in weapons...
And the #Biden admin made SURE Israel had enough munitions for a #Rafah invasion.
“The #UN General Assembly will vote tomorrow on a resolution that may effectively make #Palestine a member state of the UN. As you may recall, #Biden vetoed a resolution at the UNSC earlier this year that sought to admit Palestine as a member.
Based on a draft of the resolution I have reviewed, I do believe that this resolution may become a big deal ….
If Biden chooses to defund the UN as a result, it will only further undermine the #US's standing.”
