"When the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, spoke via video to a conference in Jerusalem, he declared: There can be no nuanced separation of hatred of Israel and hatred of the Jewish people. Rubio added: Those who call for the destruction of Israel are calling for the destruction of the Jewish people. Last month, the House speaker, Mike Johnson, reinforced the same message while visiting Israel, where he reportedly said that the West Bank is the rightful property of the Jewish people."
"More than nine months after Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued reports that concluded Israel was committing genocide and more than a month since key Israeli human rights groups asserted the same the American political establishment remains in rigid denial while horrors continue nonstop in Gaza. Virtually all Republicans and most Democrats in Congress still support massive US arms shipments to Israel, so they certainly can't admit that the weaponry is making genocide possible."
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch concluded that Israel was committing genocide, and Israeli human rights groups made similar assertions. The American political establishment largely denies those conclusions while horrors continue in Gaza. Virtually all Republicans and most Democrats in Congress continue to support large US arms shipments to Israel. High-level officials have equated Israel with the Jewish people, framing criticism as antisemitism and shielding Israel from accountability. Israel has carried out methodical killing of Palestinian civilians through bombardment, gunfire, and an effective blockade that uses starvation as a weapon. The United Nations warned that food intake in Gaza had dropped far below survival level.
