While there is "some joy" in knowing that bombs have stopped falling on Gaza, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé warns that many Israeli leaders remain committed to using violence in order to "wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country."

Ilan Pappé's new book is "Israel on the Brink."

“To call what Israel is doing in Gaza genocide is simply to speak the truth. Efforts to say otherwise deny the reality of what everyone can plainly see. To compare the current Israeli government to the Nazis is not antisemitism, as it might perhaps once have been, but bitter justice.” - Kevin Power

Some Biden Aides are Shifting Their Tune on Israel Some are changing positions because of Trump’s approach to Israel, and a few are wrestling with whether they could have done more when in charge.

A government or a party that has no measure of accountability for failure is not a functional one. In a functional administration, all of these people would be blacklisted for the rest of their careers at the very least, not angling for new jobs.

The irony at genocide’s heart.

Yes, the war in Gaza is a genocide.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read my op-ed here:

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen The Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. America is complicit.

On our trip to the Middle East, @merkley.senate.gov and I saw and heard firsthand how the Netanyahu government is engaged in a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and America is complicit.

Here are just a few takeaways:

My U.N. Commission’s Finding: Israel Is Committing Genocide www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

What is happening in Gaza is genocide.

Those enabling it—lawmakers sending arms to Israel, officials giving it cover at the UN and international courts, the lobby groups demanding such support—aren’t just accomplices, but full participants in a crime against humanity.

They must be held to account.

WOW!

Prof. W. Schabas, a leading authority on genocide whose family survived the Holocaust, believes the case against Israel is “arguably the strongest case of genocide ever brought before the Court" and that the US & Germany risk legal liability.

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza.

There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

ericalandreth 2h Follow Out of 535 members of Congress, only 10 of them reject AIPAC money. 525 members (98.2%) of Congress are paid to put Israel's interests before yours.

That is blatant treason.

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.

Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

"It is one of the great stains on both our political parties that two presidents, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, gave Benjamin Netanyahu pretty much everything he wanted."

“So to the Biden and Trump administrations, to Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to the US media, I say this: history will judge you. For non-stop complicity in a genocide; aiding and abetting the crime of crimes.”

My latest op-ed for the Guardian:

The absurd thing is that David Grossman could not say this at Columbia or else he would be accused of antisemitism.

Time’s ticking for American authors to get on the right side of opposing genocide.

Starvation is gripping Gaza as the Netanyahu government uses hunger as a weapon — with complicity from the Trump Admin.
