Biden ‘Countering Islamophobia’ While Incinerating Gaza Is The Most Democrat Thing Ever

In what is arguably the most liberal thing ever to have happened in all of human history, the Biden administration has announced its plans to develop a US National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia even as it helps Israel massacre Muslims by the thousands in Gaza.

“For too long, Muslims in America, and those perceived to be Muslim, such as Arabs and Sikhs, have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents,” reads a White House statement on the announcement. “We all mourn the recent barbaric killing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian American Muslim boy, and the brutal attack on his mother in their home outside Chicago.”

This comes as the death toll from the US-backed bombing campaign in Gaza nears 10,000, including 3,760 children, in what experts and authorities around the world are describing with increasing frequency as a genocide. If these people were Jewish instead of Muslim, they would not be trapped in a giant concentration camp while the IDF hammers them with a nonstop barrage of military explosives, but because of their ethnicity they are subjected to this horror.

There’s a classic meme which makes fun of the way US foreign policy under Democrats is the same murderous foreign policy as it is under Republicans, but with a bunch of woke-sounding bumper stickers slapped on the surface to make it palatable for progressive sensibilities

Can you think of a better illustration of the dynamic that’s highlighted by this criticism than what we’re seeing from the Biden administration today? This is after all the same administration whose Department of Defense recently said they are putting zero limits on what Israel may or may not do with the weapons it’s being given by the United States.

“We are not putting any limits on how Israel uses weapons that is provided,” Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told the press on Monday. “That is really up to the Israel Defense Force to use in how they are going to conduct their operations. But we’re not putting any constraints on that.”

As In These Times reports, this same administration is also trying to get permission to conduct arms deals with Israel without congressional supervision, in complete secrecy and without accountability to the voting public.

The US government is every bit as culpable in the massacre of thousands of Muslim children as Israel, because this entire massacre is happening with both its assistance and its express permission. But here is its government pretending to care deeply that one Muslim child was killed by an Islamophobic psycho in America.

This is everything that’s disgusting about the Democratic Party. It puts a warm, friendly face on the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on earth, posing as a defender of marginalized groups while dropping bombs on the most marginalized populations on this planet. It selects a high number of women and racially diverse officials for its cabinet positions to convey the illusion that it has transcended the abusive bigotries of the past, while subjecting impoverished brown-skinned foreigners to a nonstop barrage of high-tech explosive munitions in massacres that would be the envy of the worst white supremacist imperialists in history.

A much more accurate image for the United States than the one it tries to give itself with its fraudulent progressive virtue signalling would be the one it was given by protesters who interrupted Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday. Demonstrators painted their hands red to show the blood this administration has on its own hands, resulting in viral images of Blinken’s face surrounded by bloody hands circulating all over the internet. 

That’s what the US empire really is. Not the liberal bastion of human rights it presents itself as, but a blood-spattered psychopathic murder machine which maintains its domination of this planet with the nonstop butchery of human beings.

The longer the massacre in Gaza goes on, the more people are catching a glimpse behind the plastic smiley-faced mask of the US empire and seeing the cold-eyed killer underneath.

Israel’s Jabaliya refugee camp bombing: A new stage of imperialist barbarism

In the horrifying aftermath of the bombing of the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza Tuesday, the United States and its allies have not only justified Israel’s atrocity but have proclaimed that the civilian population of Gaza constitutes a legitimate military target. On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes dropped multiple bombs on the populated Jabaliya neighborhood, which houses the largest refugee camp in Gaza, killing dozens of people. The next day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded to global the outpouring of anger over the massacre by striking the Jabaliya camp again. The death toll from the two bombings has now soared to 195, with 120 still missing.

Israeli authorities gloated about having deliberately attacked an area full of hundreds of women and children. “But you know that there are a lot of refugees, a lot of innocent civilians, men, women and children in that refugee camp as well, right?” CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer asked IDF spokesman, Lt. Col. Richard Hecht. Hecht made clear that the answer was yes. “This is the tragedy of war, Wolf,” he replied. When asked to respond directly to Hecht’s statement, US Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder endorsed the attack by accusing Palestinians of serving as “human shields.” In response to the bombing, Senator Lindsay Graham publicly declared that there is “no limit” to the number of civilian deaths the United States is willing to tolerate in Gaza.

The US-Israeli plans are becoming clear. For 50 years, the imperialist powers have been talking about a “solution” to the “problem” of the Palestinians. Now, they have found one: the “final solution of the Palestinian question.”

This mass murder and ethnic cleansing of Gaza is being actively supplied and led by US forces. On Tuesday night, the New York Times reported that “American commandos were on the ground in Israel.” This followed remarks by Salman al-Harfi, Palestine’s former ambassador, who said that US troops “are involved in military operations on the ground in Gaza.” US officials are in discussions about having US troops play an even more direct role in the conflict, including the occupation of Gaza by US and NATO forces.

The brutal war against the civilian population of Gaza is the product of three decades of perpetual war by the United States following the dissolution of the USSR, from the Gulf War with its “highway of death,” to the systematic destruction of Yugoslavia’s civilian infrastructure, to the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan during the “war on terror.” These global wars have metastasized into what the United States sees as an all-pervasive global conflict, targeting Iran, Russia and China. As Blinken put it in testimony on Capitol Hill, “For our adversaries, be they states or nonstates, this is all one fight.”

The massacre taking place in Gaza marks the embrace by the United States of genocide as a tool of foreign policy. America’s “new world order,” which Biden again referenced this month, is being built on mass murder.

Biden White House aims to scapegoat Netanyahu

Israeli forces surround Gaza City on three sides, says IDF chief

Israel forces have surrounded Gaza City on three sides and are operating inside the city, fighting in close quarters, their top military commander has said. In a televised statement, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) chief of staff, said: “[Israeli forces] are in the heart of northern Gaza, operating in Gaza City, surrounding it.”

Halevi’s comments came as the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, was heading to Israel and Jordan for talks on Friday to push for the humanitarian pause requested by President Joe Biden.

The intensifying Israeli bombardment has killed thousands of Palestinians, and those sheltering from the assault are running out of clean water and facing increasing health risks as public services become unable to operate and hospitals close. ...

Seven United Nations experts called on Thursday for a ceasefire in the territory, saying time was running out for Palestinian people there who were at “grave risk of genocide”. The Israeli mission to the UN in Geneva said it was preparing a response to the experts’ remarks.

Duiring heavy clashes on the outskirts of Gaza’s urban areas in recent days, 18 Israeli soldiers have been killed, including a senior officer, as troops have faced a series of ambushes. Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israeli forces had pushed through the outskirts of Gaza City. “We’re at the height of the battle,” the prime minister said. “We’ve had impressive successes and have passed the outskirts of Gaza City. We are advancing.”

Tension escalates on Lebanese frontier amid Hamas and Hezbollah barrages

Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam brigades, said its fighters in southern Lebanon were behind the shelling of the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona, where four rockets landed in an industrial area, injuring two people and damaging buildings. In a second barrage, Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militant group, said it had simultaneously attacked 19 positions in Israel on Thursday evening in the latest escalation on Israel’s northern border.

Thursday’s exchanges came before a speech by Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, in Beirut on Friday that will be closely watched in Israel and across the region. Hezbollah, like Hamas, is a proxy of Iran.

Earlier, Hezbollah said it had used two drones packed with explosives to attack an Israeli army command position in the disputed Shebaa Farms area on the Lebanese-Israeli border. It is the first time Hezbollah has acknowledged carrying out an attack against Israeli forces using such drones, and comes a few days after it said for the first time it had used a surface-to-air missile against an Israeli drone.

In a statement, Hezbollah said the drones filled with “a large quantity of explosives” had attacked the headquarters of the Israeli battalion in the Shebaa Farms area and hit their targets. Israel has held the Shebaa Farms, a 15-square-mile area of land, since the 1967 war; Syria and Lebanon claim the area belongs to Lebanon.

Biden calls for ‘pause’ in Israel-Hamas war during Minnesota event

Joe Biden called for a “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war on Wednesday, in response to a call from the crowd during remarks in Minneapolis. A rabbi, who later identified herself as Jessica Rosenberg, called out: “Mr President, if you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire.”

Biden said: “I think we need a pause. A pause means giv[ing] time to get the prisoners out.” ...

Biden said: “I’m the guy that convinced Bibi [the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu] to call for a ceasefire to let the prisoners out. I’m the guy that talked to Sisi [the Egyptian president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi] to convince him to open the door,” to let humanitarian aid enter Gaza and allow some people to leave, American citizens among them.

White House sources told news outlets Biden was referring to the case of Judith and Natalie Raanan, from Illinois, a mother and daughter released by Hamas last month during a pause in hostilities that lasted “a few hours” to facilitate the transfer.

“This is incredibly complicated for the Israelis,” Biden said. “It’s incredibly complicated for the Muslim world as well … I supported a two-state solution, I have from the very beginning.

“The fact of the matter is that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. A flat-out terrorist organisation.”

Israel DENIES Biden Pleas For 'Pause'

Biden HUMILIATED as Israel Rejects Pause

US House passes $14.3bn aid package for Israel despite Democratic opposition

The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a Republican plan to provide $14.3bn in aid to Israel as it fights Hamas, despite Democrats’ insistence it has no future in the Senate and the White House’s promise of a veto.

The measure passed 226-196, largely along party lines, with most Republicans supporting the bill and most Democrats objecting.

The bill’s introduction was the first major legislative action under the new Republican House speaker, Mike Johnson. President Joe Biden has threatened a veto, and Chuck Schumer, the majority leader of the Democrat-controlled Senate, said he would not bring it up for a vote.

Biden has asked Congress to approve a broader $106bn emergency spending package including funding for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine, as well as humanitarian aid. Schumer said the Senate would consider a bipartisan bill addressing the broader priorities.

White House condemns Fox News over ‘sickening attack’ on Arab Americans

Fox News must apologize to its viewers, a White House spokesperson said, after the rightwing channel’s host Jesse Watters seemed to advocate violence against Arab Americans, amid heightened tensions over the Israel and Hamas war in Gaza.

On Wednesday evening, on the highly rated Fox show The Five, Watters said: “If you’re an Arab American in this country, and you rip down posters of Jewish hostages, American hostages, no. No, no, no. Someone is going to get punched in the face.” ...

On Wednesday, Watters also said: “I want to say something about Arab Americans and about the Muslim world. We – and when I say we I mean the west and western technology – have created the Middle East. We made them rich. We got that oil out of the ground, our military protects all of these oil shipments flying around the world, making them rich. We fund their military. We respect their kings. We kill their terrorists. OK? But we’ve had it. We’ve had it with them!”

Ukraine’s Zaluzhny admits defeat, prepares alibi

Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Says the War Is a Stalemate

Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Gen. Valery Zaluzhny acknowledged in comments to The Economist that the war in Ukraine is a stalemate and that there will “most likely” be no Ukrainian breakthrough.

“Just like in the First World War, we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate,” the general said. “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” ...

Zaluzhny discussed changes he tried to make during the counteroffensive. “First I thought there was something wrong with our commanders, so I changed some of them. Then I thought maybe our soldiers are not fit for purpose, so I moved soldiers in some brigades,” he said.

After the changes failed, Zaluzhny said he looked to a book published in 1941 by a Soviet major general that analyzed World War I. “And before I got even halfway through it, I realized that is exactly where we are because just like then, the level of our technological development today has put both us and our enemies in a stupor,” he said.

Zaluzhny said that both sides can always see the other coming, thanks to modern technology. “The simple fact is that we see everything the enemy is doing and they see everything we are doing. In order for us to break this deadlock, we need something new, like the gunpowder which the Chinese invented and which we are still using to kill each other,” he said.

'MAGA Mike Johnson' Wants Commission to Cut Social Security Formed 'Immediately'

When Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives elected Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson as speaker last week, critics quickly sounded the alarm about his previous calls to cut trillions of dollars from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—and the GOP leader triggered a fresh wave of fears on Thursday with related comments to a Capitol Hill journalist.

NBC News' Sahil Kapur reported on social media that Johnson "says he pitched a debt commission to Senate Republicans yesterday and 'the idea was met with great enthusiasm.' He says it will be bipartisan and bicameral. He says he wants 'very thoughtful people' in both parties to lead it. He wants this 'immediately.'"

In response to Johnson's remarks—which echoed his first speech as speaker—the Alliance for Retired Americans wrote, "Translation: They're eager to begin gutting Social Security behind closed doors."

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla)—who led the ouster of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)—celebrated Johnson's rise as a win for the far-right. He declared last week that "MAGA is ascendant," referring to the "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan of former President Donald Trump, who is the GOP front-runner for 2024.

Critics of the new speaker have similarly framed his election as a display of the far-right's hold on the Republican Party, and are even calling him "MAGA Mike," including in response to his comments Thursday.

"A week into his tenure, MAGA Mike Johnson is ALREADY calling for closed-door cuts to the Social Security and Medicare benefits American workers have earned through decades of hard work," warned Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee.

Social Security Works said that "MAGA Mike Johnson's NUMBER ONE priority is to cut our earned benefits behind closed doors."

"The White House has rightfully called this type of commission a 'death panel' for Social Security and Medicare," the group noted. "HANDS OFF!"

Back in February, long before McCarthy struck a deal with President Joe Biden to suspend the country's debt ceiling, Republicans in Congress and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) were floating the idea of a commission, and White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said that "the American people want more jobs and lower costs, not a death panel for Medicare and Social Security."

As Republican lawmakers have continued to pursue the idea, others have embraced the "death panel" description.

After Johnson's mention of the commission in his speech last week, Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik wrote:

On the whole, Johnson's approach to social safety net programs comes right out of the GOP library of lies about the programs' finances and their effect on the federal budget.

"The reality is, they're headed towards bankruptcy," he said in his July 2022 C-SPAN appearance. "In just a few number of years, Social Security goes belly up. So does Medicare, Medicaid, all of these big-spending programs because we're drowning in debt."

The idea that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are going "bankrupt" is standard Republican hogwash. So is the idea that Social Security will go "belly up" in some number of years—even if Congress sits on its hands, the program will still have enough revenue to cover three-quarters of the benefits due.

"The notion that those programs are drivers of the federal debt is also a bog-standard GOP talking point," Hiltzik added. "A far more significant portion of the federal budget deficit is the lavish tax cut that Johnson's party gifted to corporations and the wealthy in 2017, a $1.5-trillion giveaway from which the U.S. economy received no significant gain."

Most House Republicans and a dozen Democrats on Thursday evening voted to pass a bill that would deliver on Biden's request for $14.3 billion to help Israel wage war on Gaza—which experts are condemning as genocide—and cut Internal Revenue Service (IRS) funding.

Analysts and Democrats in Congress have warned that the IRS cut would hamper the agency's ability to crack down on wealthy tax cheats, bolstered by the Congressional Budget Office finding Wednesday that the measure would reduce federal revenues by $26.8 billion and add $12.5 billion to the deficit over the next decade.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), who opposed the bill and is among the few Democrats demanding a cease-fire in Gaza, said that "the only thing crueler than sending $14 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars for weapons that will result in the deaths of thousands more innocent Palestinian children in Gaza is exploiting that war—exploiting the death of over 1,400 Israeli mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, and hundreds more hostages—to help corporate CEOs and billionaire donors cheat on their taxes."

Breonna Taylor neighbor tells of horror as police bullets flew past sleeping son

Breonna Taylor’s neighbor recalled her horror as police bullets flew into her apartment near her sleeping son as a federal trial for the former Louisville officer who fired those shots began Thursday.

Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison fired 10 shots during the botched raid in March 2020 that left Taylor dead, though it was another officer who fatally shot the 26-year-old Black woman. Hankison, 47, is charged with two federal civil rights violations for endangering Taylor, her boyfriend and Taylor’s neighbors, who shared a wall with her apartment. None of Hankison’s shots hit anyone.

Federal prosecutors are attempting to do what Kentucky prosecutors could not – convict Hankison for his actions on the night Taylor was shot to death by white officers. In the 2022 state trial, Hankison was acquitted of charges that he endangered Chelsey Napper and her family.

“I didn’t know what to think, I couldn’t think,” Napper testified, after saying she heard a loud boom outside. It was a hail of gunfire from officers who came to Taylor’s door to serve a warrant. After officers broke down Taylor’s door with a battering ram, her boyfriend fired a shot that hit an officer in the leg.

Napper’s boyfriend and her son were also in their apartment, and she said a bullet came within 1-2ft of her son, Zayden, as he lay in bed. Napper testified she was shocked when she later learned it was a police officer who fired the shots.

Memphis police officer pleads guilty in fatal beating of Tyre Nichols

A former Memphis police officer pleaded guilty on Thursday in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, becoming the first of five officers charged to reverse course, with prosecutors recommending up to 15 years in prison.

Desmond Mills Jr entered his plea during a hearing at the Memphis federal courthouse as part of a larger agreement to settle charges in state court as well. It was not immediately clear if any of the other officers would follow suit.

Mills pleaded guilty to federal charges of excessive force and obstruction of justice and agreed to plead guilty to related state charges. Mills also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. The final sentencing decision rests with the judge. ...

Caught on police video, the beating of Nichols in January was one in a string of violent encounters between police and Black people that sparked protests and renewed debate about police brutality and the need for police reform in the US. The five former officers who were charged also are Black.

Mills and four other former Memphis police department officers were charged in federal court with using excessive force, failing to intervene, deliberate indifference and conspiring to lie, as well as obstruction of justice, after they were caught on camera punching, kicking and beating Nichols on 7 January. He died three days later.

No Car Making on a Dead Planet

After six weeks on strike, UAW leaders announced over the past week that they had reached tentative agreements with GM, Ford, and Stellantis. The deals with the automakers mark a new era in U.S. labor politics, including groundbreaking gains that help make the transition to electric vehicles more just.

Stellantis agreed to reopen a shuttered plant in Belvidere, Illinois, to produce both combustion vehicles and EVs, and include 1,000 new workers at an EV battery facility slated to open nearby in the union’s national contract. Ford and Stellantis granted the union the authority to strike to prevent plant closures. At Stellantis, workers can also strike to uphold company commitments to produce specific products.

Winning these demands marks a historic first, harkening to former UAW president Walter Reuther’s push for the union to play a role in guiding production decisions to meet social and environmental ends. Especially with new federal funding available to re-tool automaking facilities to make EVs, this sets a strong precedent for the union to call on companies to retain their current workforce as they transition to EVs, hopefully helping push back on right-wing efforts to scare workers into opposing the EV transition.

And though neither Stellantis nor Ford followed GM’s lead by agreeing to extend the contract to workers at its joint-venture EV battery facilities, Ford acceded to a card check neutrality process that would incorporate them if a majority sign up to join the union, along with transfer rights for workers laid off from other facilities. Together, these agreements grow the UAW’s stake in the clean auto industry of the future. Now is the time, then, for the union to align its words and actions, and truly welcome the EV transition.

Prevailing wisdom holds that EVs require less labor to produce, as they contain fewer parts than a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle. But with new research challenging that assumption, smart policy could even make the shift to EVs a job creator. Still, despite declaring support for the transition to electric fleets, fears of job loss recently drove the UAW's new firebrand President Shawn Fain to align with automakers and object to President Joe Biden’s proposed clean car standards.

Having voted for Fain as a member of the UAW’s growing ranks of academic workers and served as a strategic researcher for the UAW International, I was disappointed to read this news. I know I can never truly understand the concerns of autoworkers faced with the possibility that the EV transition could cost them their job. And I support every demand our union has made to make the transition as smooth as possible for all workers. But in 2017, when a series of record-breaking wildfires began to burn down the homes of my friends, neighbors, and co-workers, and raze entire communities in Northern California where I have lived most of my life, it became painfully clear to me that we are not moving fast enough toward a climate-safe economy.

What’s more, Fain’s position is not just contrary to my own; it also goes against our union’s record of mediating conflict between environmentalists and auto employers. In the 1970s, the UAW helped finance Earth Day, lobbied Congress to push automakers toward electric and fuel cell vehicles, and persuaded lawmakers to adopt a compromise air pollution standard for autos. More recently, the UAW helped hold back a loosening of fuel economy regulations, and motivated lawmakers I worked with to propose a tax credit for EVs produced using union labor. Our union can be an influential force for climate protections, but only if we embrace a just and rapid transition.
Toward those ends, Fain is right to call for public money supporting the EV transition to be tied to labor standards. Without them, the billions of dollars in subsidies EV makers are receiving could help undermine the middle-class jobs autoworkers fought for and deserve—just look at Tesla, with its growing list of violations of labor and safety laws; deaths at factories in Nevada, Texas, Shanghai, and California; and a culture of racist intimidation on the factory floor. These are the working conditions we must prevent from predominating in the green economy.

But he is wrong to argue that clean car standards that are not quite even aligned with climate science are “premature,” and should be revised to “increase stringency more gradually and occur over a greater period of time,” just as automakers are wrong when they say that the proposed guidelines are “neither reasonable nor achievable.”

To prevent the worst catastrophes of climate change, we must push automakers to rapidly transition to fully electric fleets. As they do, we must support the UAW to organize EV workers throughout the industry and build even more pathways to a just transition so that workers’ legitimate concerns about getting left behind do not clash with that goal. But we must also call on the UAW to use our influence to support clean car standards that reflect the urgency of the climate crisis. Our livable future depends on it.
