Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – During CNN’s sh*tshow — I mean, debate — Trump at one point insisted that Biden let the Israelis “go” at the Palestinians: You got to ask him, as far as Israel and Hamas, Israel is the one that wants to go. He said the only one who wants to keep […]

Netanyahu openly Reneges on Ceasefire, Stabs Biden in Back, Charging US cut off Weaponry
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – In an interview on Israeli Channel 14, the Israeli newspaper Arab 48 reports, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “The heavy duty phase in the war is about to end with the end of the operation in Rafah. Therefore, the forces will be moved to the north.” By “north” he meant […]
Not your Father’s Israel: Extremist Israeli PM Netanyahu is Playing Biden and Blinken for Fools
Though Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries signed onto inviting Israeli PM Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu to address Congress on July 24 in the “spirit of bi-partisanship,” many US and Israeli Jews loudly object. They plan a major demonstration in Washington to show up his address. The organization UnXeptable is organizing an effort to have […]
Trump or Biden on Israel?
( Tomdispatch.com ) – Recently, I attended a demonstration called by groups opposing the carnage in Gaza, where eight months of air, ground, and sea attacks by the Israeli Defense Forces have leveled entire quadrants of cities and killed more than 36,000 Palestinians. Many of the participants, justly outraged by the ongoing mass murder triggered […]
How Trump and Netanyahu are Tag-Teaming Biden on Gaza
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – President Joe Biden has proposed a new peace plan for Gaza, which is provisionally accepted by Hamas. Israeli cooperation is harder to come by, as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) has made it clear he’s only interested in prosecuting the war in Gaza to exterminate Hamas, even […]
Far Right Totalitarians in Israeli Cabinet threaten to Crash the Government if it Agrees to Biden’s Gaza Plan
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The Israeli newspaper Arab 48 reports that extremist government ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich continue to put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and are threatening to bring down the government if he agrees to the suggestion for a truce put forward by US President Joe Biden on Friday […]
Biden on Trump: “No one is above the Law;” Except for Israel’s Netanyahu
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Donald J. Trump, found responsible for rape and found guilty of a whole raft of election fraud felonies, is a horrible person and bears no comparison to Joe Biden. But in one respect they have an unfortunate resemblance. Both have shown profound disrespect for the courts adjudicating their or their […]
Biden’s Aid Pier SNAFU washes away in Indictment of US unwillingness to Pressure Israel to stop the Starvation
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The US military has given us many acronyms. Most are forgettable alphabet salads only beloved by bureaucrats. But SNAFU is one of the greats, allegedly originating during WW II. The polite phrase is “situation normal, all fouled up.” But we know that the GIs actually used the F word. Quite […]
“Intifada” in Arabic just means Uprising or Mass Protest; it is used for the Jewish Warsaw Uprising
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – A key feature of American bigotry toward people from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and toward Muslims more generally, has been the demonization by journalists, politicians and interest groups of ordinary, everyday Arabic words. Arabic words have a proud and positive history in the English language. Consider a […]
