I've been disappointed by so called leftist blogs like DailyKos and Wonkette seriously under reporting about Israel, and not talking about Palestinian perspectives. I did see one personal diary talking about BDS, but so often the comment sections get filled with virulent Zionists and apologists for Israel's war crimes. Meanwhile the "news" that gets officially published are repetitive rehashes of low-hanging fruit such as Liz Cheney, Matt Gaetz, and Joe Manchin.
If it weren't for Juan Cole, I wouldn't be informed about the protests at the Ford plant in Dearborn. Other political sites only just talked about Biden driving the electric truck, turning it into a fluff piece. Biden's administration specifically said they wanted to focus on human rights issues, but instead they let Palestinian rights take a back seat to climate change, and block another UN resolution against Israel. And now they fucking approve an arms sale to Israel at a time like this! Where's your fucking human rights policy, Biden?
I'm even angrier that Netanyahu is using this horrific violence to prevent being ousted as PM. The most recent election still remains unresolved until someone can form a new government, so he wants to trash any possible alliances that could oust him. It's fucking sick that he'll order airstrikes just to save himself his job, and he knows he'll never be punished by the US for it.
