6:11 AM CT Bob Woodward disclosed on MSNBC excerpts of notes..closed-doors meeting this summer bw #Harris & #Netanyahu. W:
[Harris] was tough w N in a way he didnt like at all..saying Lk at what’s going on in Gaza -unconscionble humanitarian disaster. Then went to Press, said exact same: I will not b silent. N was furious but knew she may be next Pres so didn't say anythg. Her willingness to go get in his face, motto “I will not be silent” is 1 of things she ought to wear..w pride
#Michigan is home to one of the largest #Arab & #Muslim populations in the country, & the voting blocs have suggested many will withhold their votes for the Democratic candidate in protest over the #UnitedStates support of #Israel.
#Trump spoke to #Netanyahu just yesterday & told him ‘Do what you have to do’
Last night Netanyahu bombed #Tehran.
The Biden admin has supported Israel, but has always placed conditions on that support.
Trump would never encourage restraint.

I understand the frustration, both on the #Israel / #Gaza front and on the other things, but just the ongoing business as usual. The problem is thinking that #boycotting the election is going to push us at all in the right direction.
Biden has been walking the thin line of "quietly oppose #Netanyahu without pissing off Israel supporters or getting impeached", with Kamala being more aggressive about opposing Netanyahu, while Trump has basically said he'd like to put larger munitions on the table. I understand not liking the position we're in, but the difference is night and day.
The #Nazis and their sympathizers are legion: they are not bounded by the scruples of whether or not Trump will go easy on some group, and they certainly don't care about the #Isralis OR #palesinians. They want him to get in so they have a vessel to do as much damage as possible.
“‘That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad fucking guy!’ Biden declared privately about the Israeli prime minister to one of his associates in the spring of 2024 as Israel’s war in Gaza intensified”
And yet you arm Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people… What does that make you, Joe?

"That’s a common Zionist talking point; Zionists insist, over and over, that criticism of Israel is the same as denying Israel’s right to exist. They then equate that with antisemitic calls for Jewish genocide.
Coates’ calm reply was telling. 'My answer is that no country in this world establishes its ability to exist through rights,' he said. 'Countries establish their ability to exist through force.'”

"Journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates has written a new book in which he (like many human rights organizations) characterizes Israel as an apartheid state. CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil grilled Coates on his supposedly limited perspective, and demanded to know why he criticized Israel. 'Is it because you just don’t believe that Israel, in any condition, has a right to exist?' he asked."

"Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York and the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the US, warned that Israel’s political and moral fabric was being frayed by Netanyahu’s leadership, adding: 'Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.'”

Israel was told ‘you are not alone’ – but year of war has left it isolated
For many Israelis, the shedding of support since 7 October attack has revived a belief that they cannot rely on othersPatrick Wintour (The Guardian)
"One year after the 7 October attacks: After a year of war, Israel is facing mounting diplomatic isolation. Pew Research found in May that although most Americans still sympathised with Israel, those under 30 did not, and seven in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents had little or no confidence in the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu."
