The absence of ceasefire undermines Democrats chances of winning Congress, perhaps even the presidency.
Supporters of Israel insist opponents should stop calling Israel an apartheid and genocidal state. They pretend we make this up and are anti-Jewish (though they know many Palestine supporters are Jews).
Former US president Jimmy Carter long ago wrote about Israel’s apartheid. Moreover, every day now the Israel-US massacres and terrorism in Palestine and Lebanon prove those labels are apt—adding to the South African government’s case and the International Court of Justice’s provisional decision saying so. The reason that lovers of Israeli apartheid work so hard to try to stop this language is not because they think it’s untrue. They must crush accurate language about Israel or their narrative that this barbarity is all a response to Hamas, to terrorism and October 7, 2023 will collapse.
They must block people from learning that this full on genocide culminates 76 years of US-backed Israeli apartheid terrorism. Now they say the same about Hezbollah, the most popular political organization in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s head Nasrallah made clear that Hezbollah would stop shooting missiles into Israel as soon as Netanyahu agrees to a ceasefire on Gaza.
Israel’s response was to murder Nasrallah, killing a messenger proposing peace.
