Biden, Gaza Genocide & Israel
In a landmark decision the International Court of Justice, the UN’s highest judicial body, based in The Hague, by an overwhelming vote ruled that the accusation that Israel in its assault on Gaza is committing genocide is “plausible.” The Israeli prime minister in response said, “Israel’s commitment to international law is unwavering. The charge of genocide leveled against Israel is not only false, it’s outrageous.” Almost certainly the issue will move from the ICJ to the UN Security Council where it is likely to be vetoed by Washington. Meanwhile, in Gaza, where no place is safe, the bloodbath continues. The number of Palestinians killed, wounded and missing is soaring. Internationally, Washington is more and more isolated. Biden’s “ironclad” backing of Israel is coming under increasing scrutiny and opposition. The U.S., critics say, is enabling genocide.

Armando Garcia Jimenez –
Nothing but the truth probing everything he expressed in this great job of his.
From Andy in NJ –
In the excellent Hedges program, he talks about how liberal Zionism was always an oxymoron because Israel never intended to give equal rights to Palestinians.
Darrell Costa (verified owner) –
One of the most devastatingly eloquent analyses of how nationalist evil perpetuates itself. Hedge’s masterly logic and balance with ethics and passion put him in the sphere of the world’s greatest thinkers. My own vain certainties were put to a test when by chance I heard his talk on the radio this morning. I’ll admit to having a teary self-realization about gaps in my own assessment of Gaza’s horrors when I listened. I am on my inner knees after listening to this, thanking Mr. Hedges for getting me to face my own blinding vanity.
Steve Rolston –
Devastating, well-documented analysis and opinion regarding the genocide across Gaza and the West Bank.
Biden must change course and stop giving lip-service to Israeli leadership. It is outrageous that Washington bullets have assassinated so many journalists and innocent Palestinians.
Thank you, Professor Hedges.
