San Francisco’s Biggest Hospital System: Don’t Talk About Palestine
“Look, I don’t want to make people feel uncomfortable, but aren’t people made uncomfortable by 40,000 dead in Gaza?”
“The people who are really ‘unsafe’ are the women who I was supporting in labor as literally bombs were dropping.”
“That’s the clear message: You can’t talk about Palestine, you can’t talk about genocide.”
Western corporate media outlets, without exception, acquiesced to Israeli directives barring reporters from entering Gaza. Journalists embedded with the Israeli army report only what Israel permits them to observe, creating a one-sided, heavily filtered narrative.

Is this the fate of the MAGA cult? Israelism has a gripping social psychological effect on its devotees one hard to break. There is nothing rational about it and leaves no room for sceptics
The phrase “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid” became a cultural symbol of being brainwashed.
British arms exports are continuing to support Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza because Labour has not implemented a complete embargo, writes John McEvoy.
clear winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential election is undeniably Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is now freer than ever to pursue his genocidal campaign against Palestinians; demolish Lebanon; create more illegal settlements on the West Bank; and even annex the West Bank itself if he chooses to do so.

McQueen – whom this masthead attempted to contact for comment – was last reported partying at the weekend at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where she and her current employer, Gina Rinehart, had celebrated the host’s US presidential election win.
Why Israelism needs to destroy the UN.
While international Forums can often seem like insipid gestures marked by ineffectual chatter, they are increasingly bulking a file that is making Israel more isolated than ever. And this is not an isolation of virtue or admiration At the very least, resolutions such as those passed on November 14 provide some record of resistance, however seemingly remote, against the historical amnesia that governs Israeli Palestinian relations.

The Heritage Foundation strategy named after the biblical Jewish queen offers insights into the persecution those who oppose Zionism and white-supremacy will likely face in Trump’s America.

The most powerful levers of control in the United States government are found in the six positions where intelligence-gathering and brute force overlap — the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Homeland Security, Attorney General, Director of the CIA, and Director of National Intelligence.
These six constitute the raw muscle of the federal government, where information about the nation’s security is gathered and force is wielded.
Trump could turn America into a police state by putting people into these positions who are more loyal to him than they are to America and the U.S. Constitution.
I take Gideon Levy’s point and my respect for him as a courageous voice in Zionist Israel remains undiminished. But there is an illusion at the core of this thinking. Trump’s people could well assist in making a mess of Israel and, worst outcome, the rest of West Asia. But where does he think previous American administrations, all without exception, have long been headed? Where does he think some alternative to Trump II would take things? “The new people … are friends of apartheid, occupation, the settlements and war”? And “the old people” were something other? Nothing in this distinguishes Trump’s crew other than their bold-faced exuberance for the project, and so the pace with which they propose to proceed.
To put his point another way, Israel is well on its way to disaster, just as Levy foresees. It is one of its own making. The time between now and the end will be brutal however things proceed. Quickly and bloodily, or gradually and bloodily: It is a question only of how long it takes for Israel to get there. And however swiftly the Zionist state meets its destiny, the pace of America’s decline will match it.
In an interview, UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese explains how Israel is systematically erasing Palestinian life from Gaza.
Trump has since stated that he will make “recess appointments” to bypass required Senate confirmations for his nominations, potentially easing Gaetz’s path, while House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Friday that he will “strongly request” the House ethics report be buried.

Despite relentless Israeli attempts to misrepresent and dismantle Hezbollah, the organization has endured. A look at the group’s history and goals explains its enduring power and shows how much of what’s said in Western media is not true.

support for Israel in Europe is ultimately about shoring up a far-right political project at home. We must not let the story of the unrest in Amsterdam be retold so as to reinforce the far-right’s long-standing Islamophobia and escalating anti-migrant project.
