Israel says it wants to eliminate Hamas specifically, and radical Islamism generally, in Gaza. Ironically, its war against the Gaza Strip, in which the vast majority of victims are innocent civilians, will only serve to recruit a bigger generation of angry Palestinians to the anti-occupation resistance.
US media outlets say Joe Biden had a heroic “secret” role in negotiating the four-day ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Actually, much of the work was done not by the United States or by Biden personally, but by Qatar.
“Very serious people” claim that the Israelis and Palestinians are equally cuplable in the Middle East conflict. Which is true unless you actually think about it.
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas related to the hostage exchange reveals the Israeli secret of “administrative detention,” in which thousands of innocent men, women and children are tortured and jailed in Israel, simply for the crime of being Palestinian.
The Biden campaign had what they thought would be a clever solution to their fear that the president would lose the New Hampshire primary. They decertified NH and made South Carolina first. Then Dean Phillips challenged Biden in NH. Faced with the prospect that Biden will lose the first primary (even if it’s unofficial), Biden has launched a write-in campaign for the race from which he asked to be removed from the ballot.
If you were determined to destroy Israel’s international reputation and influence, and encourage anti-Semitism, you couldn’t possibly be more effective than the current Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu and its war against Hamas in Gaza.

The international community seems generally fine with the destruction and death raining down on the Gaza Strip. Their main concern is that the carnage not spread to other places.
Devastating new polls show that voters have decisively turned against President Joe Biden, and that if the election were held today, Donald Trump will defeat him handily. The main reason voters oppose him is that they think he’s too old. Unlike other issues, this one is impossible to reverse.
A frequent talking points that Israel is their complaint that Hamas uses civilians as human shields. Of course, this ignores the fact that it’s difficult to build infrastructure away from civilians in a densely-populated urban environment like the Gaza Strip.
