NEW for National Journal: I dug into the question of how much leverage Washington has with Israel and whether Biden is using it effectively.

Some lawmakers say Netanyahu perpetually ignores the White House’s requests, yet the arms deliveries continue.

nationaljournal.com/s/724740/after…

Biden's policy is that Israel gets to bomb other countries' embassies & consulates w/out even informing the US in advance, & the US commits to defending Israel from any retaliation.

Biden is openly granting Netanyahu the power to drag the US into war whenever he feels like it.

For the record, Israel killed 63 Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours.

In any other context, that’s a horrific & unspeakable massacre. But in the context of Israel’s genocide, that’s apparently “low intensity.”

Jesse doesn't know if $20/hr adds up to $100K per year or just $40K per year, he just knows that either way, it's too much money for working people.

But millionaires like Jesse desperately need tax breaks, amirite?

1000+ academics, including 20 Israelis, warn Pres. Biden: “do not let the United States go down in history as the enabler of genocide.” jta.org/2024/04/10/isr…

This Eid al-Fitr, as we end the holy month of Ramadan, our hearts are with the Palestinians in Gaza experiencing starvation and ethnic cleansing. Palestinian children are celebrating Eid on top of the rubble of their homes, schools, and masjids.

Children are starving. Gaza has been demolished. And Benjamin Netanyahu is the architect of this disastrous policy.

The United States’ new position must be simple and straight-forward: Not another nickel for the extremist Netanyahu government.

MOMENTUM!

We opened our letter up for one day to Members of Congress who wanted to join our effort to withhold offensive arms transfer to Israel. 16 new members signed on, bringing the total to 56. Follow the thread to see who.

We need peace for Israelis & Palestinians. ☮️🇵🇸🇮🇱

Knowingly causing the death of millions of people is a crime. Can you guess what industry is doing that?

David Arkush and legal experts weigh in:

As the United Democracy Project threatens to spend $100M in Democratic primaries this cycle, let's pull back the curtain on AIPAC.

What you'll find is a web of Trump megadonors, GOP billionaires, insurrectionists, & anti-abortion extremists.

Time for Democrats to #RejectAIPAC .

Take note of people expressing soft opposition to Israeli atrocities in Gaza, but who reserve their raging venom for protesters who are missing the mark.

If obnoxious anti-war activists trigger you more than the people mass-murdering children, you should do some soul-searching.

In 2017, I did something dumb. There was a total solar eclipse passing through the US, but I was in NY, far from the path. Was I really gonna get on a plane to see a cool thing for two minutes? Nah. I had shit to do.

The day came. I put my stupid glasses on and saw the sun…

This is the US State Department's assessment from a few hours ago. How the hell are we still sending them weapons?!?!

The contradictions of American policy in one photo.

A poll in 2006 found 78% of Christian residents of Bethlehem cited Israel's occupation as the main reason for their emigration while only 3% exclusively blamed the 'rise of Islamic movements' like Hamas.

Remember, ‘America First’ means defending the right of foreign countries to kill your own citizens with impunity.

Fake nationalism:

Israel smashing new records for:

-Killing aid workers
-Killing journalists
-Killing health workers
-Attacking hospitals
-Pediatric amputees
-Fastest acceleration of a hunger crisis
-Pace of killing civilians
-Pace of destruction
-Displacing almost an entire population

Israel is set to invade Rafah, not in spite of, but precisely because of the fact that it's a densely packed refugee camp where 1.1 million people, including 600k children have nowhere else to flee. There are two main aims behind this: 1/

This is ridiculous!

Requiring better disclosure of financial risk due to climate change is basic common sense to protect American investors.

What’s “Beyond Scope” is House Republicans' quest to prevent any accountability for those who would burn the planet down for a few bucks.

8 YEARS before Oct 7, Israel’s current security minister was partying with settlers celebrating the burning alive of a Palestinian BABY, Ali Dawabsha! They laugh, sing, stab the picture, burn it & hit it jubilantly

This incident was NEVER covered in mainstream media at the time!
