“Israel has become a global pariah: ‘increasingly isolated,’ the New York Times recently reported. Polls in the United States and around the world reveal growing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza, particularly since Israel has no obvious plan to end its war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has himself, and his right-wing government partners, to blame. He doesn’t give a damn about Palestinian lives or the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. He primarily cares about expanding his power and staying out of prison on corruption charges. He thinks that extending the war in Gaza will help him do that. Sound familiar?” (08/04/25)
