Report

86 House Democrats tell Biden Israel is failing to comply with a US Foreign Assistance Act provision.

In February, Biden said stipulations are being adhered to.

At least four bureaus in the State Dept told Blinken Israel’s claims are “neither credible nor reliable”.

A sobering analysis by Nader Hashemi on the Israel-US tensions over Rafah

"It is important not to exaggerate the tensions between the US & Israel.... It has moved from 100% to 99% support.

"Given rising domestic opposition...Biden wants a lower civilian casualty toll than Israel does.

"Israel can still bomb Rafah with impunity... just not with US-made 2,000-pound bombs that Israel has used in other parts of Gaza".

Talk by Chris Hedges

"The algebra of genocide" at the Palestine Center for Public Policy.

One of the best talks on where the world is, where it's going, & how we can resist.

Nixon to Kissinger: "Henry, they're gonna break through the barricades & get us!"

Hedges: "That is exactly where we want people in power to be".

Analysis

Rashida Tlaib says it's no coincidence that Israel invaded Rafah after Congress approved more military aid.

"For months, Netanyahu made his intent to invade Rafah clear, yet the majority of my colleagues sent more weapons to enable the massacre."

Analysis

"This Generation’s Vietnam"

"Students are Protesting Israeli Genocide, meeting Media & Political Vilification"

"Just as the anti-Vietnam war peace movement was charged with being terrorist apologists & Communist sympathizers, the current student movement against Israel’s genocide is smeared as Hamas supporters & antisemitic oppressors."

Report

"A US State Dept report on US weapons sales to Israel has found Israel may be violating international law.

"The report includes a long list of incidents, including Israel targeting humanitarian convoys and attacks on people trying to get humanitarian aid.

"But the report argues that “the law does not have to be invoked because Israel is investigating”.

Analysis by Marwan Bishara

"World Court ruling a historic day for Palestine & Israel"

The ICJ ruling is important for Palestinians "who for decades banked on international law & always felt betrayed.

"The US has tried over the past several months to stay at a distance, while at the same time supplying Israel with all the arms, financial aid, & diplomatic protection it needs to carry on with this genocide in Gaza."
