"I am a Zionist."
Senator/VP/President Biden in the Gaza massacre an American personification of Dutch Islamophobe Geert Wilders ... no daylight between their policy and support for war criminals Netanyahu-Gallant-Ben Gvir-Smotrich. Complicit in genocide by their deeds and apologists covering up ugliest of war crimes: indiscriminate murder of women and children in Palestine.
Al Haq and International Humanitarian Law
The Ombudsmanship's Special Report titled "Gaza: From the World's Largest Open-Air Prison to the World's Largest Children's Cemetery" discusses the dimensions of the humanitarian disaster that has been experienced in Gaza since October 7. Even the title of the report demonstrates what a huge humanitarian disaster Gazans have been subjected.
From a legal point of view, all circles of politics must be sensitive to the humanitarian plight of people Gaza with all their rights curtailed at first right to live and human dignity, facing the threat of extermination. Yet Gaza, and in fact Palestine, has been incrementally experiencing the depopulation and exile that has been going on since 1968.

Ben Smith, Alan Dershowitz' Continuing 'Jewish War' Against M.J. Rosenberg | Tikun Olam - 29 Feb 2012 |
Alan Dershowitz and his 1% hedge fund manager friends at the Emergency Committee of Israel recently declared war on the Center for American Progress (CAP) and Media Matters because M.J. Rosenberg has called some of Israel's American Jewish supporters, "Israel Firsters."
Phil Weiss already pointed out the egregious historical error they've made in presuming the term was coined by anti-Semites seeking to highlight Jews' less than robust commitment to their native country.
In fact, the term was first used by Prof. Abram Sachar in a debate with David Ben Gurion whose views were that Jews around the world owed their primary allegiance to Israel, rather than their home countries.
On the strength of this historical nonsense, Dershowitz has announced it will be his life's work to get M.J. fired and to get the Obama administration to renounce these think tanks who have the temerity to take an independent view of U.S. policy toward Israel.
Between Jew and Arab
In August of 1966, President Lyndon Johnson hosted a reception at the White House in honor of Israeli President Zalman Shazar. Shazar was introduced to Abram Sachar, who was then the president of Brandeis University. Turning to Johnson, he exclaimed, "Brandeis--that's where Rawidowicz was" before launching into great detail about how "what a seminal scholar Simon Rawidowicz was." There is no doubt that Johnson, whose administration would be instrumental in securing Israeli's victory in the Six Day War of 1967, would have strongly opposed Rawidowicz's politics. Shazar, who would work alongside Johnson in that effort, also rejected Rawidowicz's politics, but he nevertheless insisted that Rawidowicz "should be recognized as `one of the founders of the organized Hebrew movement.'"
The paucity of Jews in the party allowed Republican presidents like Eisenhower and George H. W. Bush to take a hard line with Israel. Eisenhower was furious at David Ben Gurion over the 1956 war of aggression on Egypt and made him give back the Sinai on the threat that the US would call in its loans and bankrupt Tel Aviv.
American Leadership for Peace in the Middle East
REMARKS OF SENATOR JOHN F. KENNEDY AT THE CONVENTION OF THE ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA, NEW YORK CITY, AUGUST 26, 1960
The Israelis surrendered their 1956 victory only because the United States and the United Nations committed themselves to the fulfillment of a pledge of free transit in the Suez Canal. So this is a United Nations resolution, in which we have a particular moral obligation.
We have also had much rhetoric in recent years about the arms race in the Middle East. This rhetoric has not only been empty and negative; even more fundamental is the premise that if the United States and the United Nations are to reject a solution based on force then they must accept the task of finding a solution based on reason and justice.
When I talked with Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion on his recent visit in the United States, he told me of dangerous signs of unrest, which existed then under the seeming quiet of the Middle East. For there is no peace in that region today, only an embittered truce between renewed alarms.
American intervention, on the other hand, will not now be easy, for the record is not one to which we can point with pride. The series of incredible American blunders which led to the 1956 Suez crisis, events in which the role of our Government has never been fully explained; the so-called Eisenhower doctrine which had been repudiated by the very nations which accepted our aid, and, in general, a deterioration in our relations with all Middle Eastern countries primarily because neither Arab nor Israeli know exactly where we stand or exactly what we mean.
Make Intentions Clear
I propose that we make clear to both the Israelis and the Arabs our guarantee that we will act with whatever force and speed is necessary to halt any aggression by any nation.
I propose that an international effort be made to limit an arms race in the Middle East with a realization-with a realization that if this is not accomplished we shall not permit an imbalance to exist which threatens the right of any country to self-defense.
Once the nations of the Middle East have a firm and precise guarantee, then the need for continuing an arms race can disappear, the easing of tension can follow, and both sides will be able to devote their energy to peaceful pursuits.
Third, I propose that all the authority of the White House be used to call into conference the leaders of Israel and the Arab States to consider privately their common problems, assuring that we support in full their aspirations for peace, unity, Independence, and a better life; and that we are prepared to back up this moral commitment with economic and technical assistance.
The offer should be made with equal frankness to both sides and all the world would be watching the response of each side.
I sincerely believe that an American Presidential Initiative, honestly intended and resolutely pursued, would not be lightly rejected by either side, unless that side was prepared to bear the burden of breaking the peace.
And I promise to waste no time in taking that initiative. The Middle East needs water, not war. They need tractors, not tanks, and they need bread, not bombs.
