What Centrist Democrats Really Mean When They Say “Vote Blue No Matter Who” While corporate Democrats talk of the need to defeat Republicans, their actions reveal that they are willing to risk that victory to prevent the sort of progressive change that voters want.

Will Trump sideline Israel in order to make a deal with Iran?
Donald Trump has a choice. Accept the MOU on offer which will ease the flow of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and will be viciously attacked by Israel and its supporters in Washington. Or he can go back to bombing and plunge the global economy into further chaos. Read more at Mondoweiss
As Donald Trump blunders his way, incapable of deciding if he wants to end the war with Iran and deal with the heat from his far-right allies, including Israel, or plunge the world even further into economic crisis, his unfitness for the job has never been clearer. Read more at The Battleground
A Covert Attempt To Cement Support for Israel Above All Else
With thanks to the people at A New Policy for the heads up on this. A section of this year’s NDAA would include legislation that would hopelessly entangle the US even further in Israeli concerns. It would legislate prioritization of Israel’s defense over all other relationships and bring the American and Israeli security apparatus together in an unprecedented way. The goal is to subvert the…
The Globalists: Iran and European Inaction
In the premier episode of the new podcast, The Globalists, brought to you by The Battleground and Cutting Through, hosts Josh White and Mitchell Plitnick discuss the latest in the US-Israeli war of choice on Iran and Europe’s shameful inaction. Watch on YouTube
Will Trump End the War or Will He Cave In Again to Iran Hawks and Israel
Over Memorial Day Weekend, Trump flip-flopped between a MOU that could lead to the end of the war and appeasing Israel and GOP Iran hawks. He’s going to have to make up his mind soon. Read more at Cutting Through
With signs of a possible Iran deal within reach, pressure is mounting on Trump to return to war
Political and economic realities are pushing Donald Trump to pursue a deal with Iran, but he will need to resist mounting pressure, including from Israel, to return to all-out war. Read more at Mondoweiss
SPECIAL EDITION: US and Iran May Be Near An Agreement
The MOU reportedly being discussed between the two parties could lead to a permanent ceasefire, start a process to fully end the conflict, and impair Israel’s influence on US policy. Read more at Cutting Through
Welcome to Ben Gvir's Israel
The video of Itamar Ben Gvir abusing and humiliating activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla generated outrage. But where are all these governments when it is Palestinians who endure so much more for so much longer? And why do I argue that we need to avoid making Ben Gvir the face of Israel? This video explains. Watch on YouTube Listen on Spotify
Will He Stay Or Will He Go?
Ultra-orthodox parties are about to bring down #Israel‘s government. What does the electoral landscape, will Netanyahu survive, and if not, will it have a significant impact on Israeli policies? Read my analysis for The Battleground.
Color Me Skeptical That Ahmadinejad was Being Groomed to Take Over Iran
The NY Times reports that Israel and the US intended that former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad take over after they took out the senior Iranian leadership. Like so much about this war of choice, that plan could not have possibly succeeded. But that was so obvious that, while it’s believable that Trump might have thought it possible, there is no way Israel did. Watch on YouTube
Impartiality of Judgment Doesn't Mean An Equal Outcome
It’s important to look at the NYT piece on Israel’s brutal treatment of prisoners and an Israeli report on October 7 with equal measures of scrutiny. That doesn’t mean they are of equal quality. Read more at Cutting Through
As support for Israel declines in the U.S., the ‘Special Relationship 2.0’ is starting to take shape
Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies in Congress have begun calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel, but this won’t end the “special relationship” between the two countries. In fact, recent signs suggest it may only deepen U.S. military ties to Israel. Read more at Mondoweiss
Democratic Jewish Confab Reveals Their Hollow Ideas
At the JDCA annual summit the old, lockstep support for all things Israel met a more nuanced updated version that said “Israel YES, Netanyahu NO.” But both fail the tests of logic and politics. Read more at Cutting Through
Two Reports Different Credibility Sexual Assault In Israel and Palestine
Nicholas Kristof caused quite a stir with his piece this week on the widespread use of sexual violence in Israeli prisons against Palestinian prisoners. Israel tried to respond with a report of its own on sexual assault on October 7. But the two are vastly different in terms of credibility. Watch on YouTube Listen on Spotify
Revealing Human Rights Abuses: Israel and The New York Times
Nicholas Kristof’s op-ed in The New York Times on cases of sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli security forces and settlers paints a grim picture of the Jewish state. Read more at The Battleground
RTFP Endorsement: Tlaib Introduces Resolution Recognizing 78 Years of Ongoing Palestinian Nakba
So proud that Rethinking Foreign Policy is one of a long list of orgs that supported this legislation from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib calling for the US to recognize the 78 years of the Palestinian Nakba. Glad also to say that 12 members endorsed this resolution, up from eight last year. Obviously not enough, but it’s progress. Read Rashida Tlaib’s press release Here are the 12: • Alexandria…
