Trump will be much worse. Wrong or disastrous are the choices. Yet Biden still blocking a ceasefire, why...
I'm curious what the US has to say tomorrow at the ICJ hearings on Israel's occupation of Palestine. So far 10 countries have passionately condemned Israel's apartheid regime and ongoing occupation and violent expropriation of Palestinian properties in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Is the US going to be the lone voice defending Israel (Israel itself isn't bothering to show up) in between 50 other countries.
Biden still says he's for a 2 state solution, but maybe that's on the condition there aren't any Palestinians left in Gaza...
Biden-linked Israel advocate previously urged ‘scrutiny’ of Muslims
The White House has been saying it is working on a strategy to combat Islamophobia – an effort that has been largely dismissed by Muslim-American advocates as a ploy to distract from Washington’s unconditional backing for the war on Gaza. But as Biden faces mounting outrage from Arab and Muslim Americans, today, he is holding a fundraiser with outspoken Israel advocate Haim Saban, according to US media reports.
In 2015, Saban called for more “scrutiny” of Muslims broadly, suggesting that civil liberties can be suspended in the name of security. “I’m not suggesting we put Muslims through some kind of a torture room to get them to admit that they are or they’re not terrorists,” Saban told TheWrap publication at that time. “But I am saying we should have more scrutiny.”
Additionally to reigniting anger over his “unwavering” support for Israel, Biden’s association with Saban has raised questions over the US president’s commitment to fighting bigotry at home.
This morning Biden vetoed a ceasefire in Gaza. Tonight he goes to a fundraiser hosted by AIPAC billionaire Haim Saban, with donors giving up to $250,000 each. pic.twitter.com/99VJFTsIpq
