Tit for tat or business as usual? AOC vows to block U.S. missile sales to Israel as Prime Minister Bennett says no to a Palestinian state

AOC vows to block U.S. missile sales to Israel as Prime Minister Bennett says no to a Palestinian state
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congressional representative, along with several other progressive reps., is trying to halt the U.S. sale of missiles to Israel. The claim is that such missiles were used against Gaza the last time around and could be used like that again. This is a harder line of offense than is usual from the U.S. House. Meanwhile, an equally hard line has been taken by Israeli Prime Minister, Neftali Bennett, in claiming to put an end to any idea of a Palestinian state, whether part of a two-state or single Israeli-Palestinian state solution. Contributing writer, John Mason, takes us into the heart of this frayed issue.

Israel’s Eid Gift to Palestine

By

The author analyzes the timing of the offensive on Gaza. There are still places in the world in which Muslims have been constant victims of ongoing war. They spend the holy month of Ramadan in conditions that the conservative media censors. Furthermore, the Eid festivals are celebrations that are observed in conflict. Humanity can longer neglect the Palestinian genocide and America has been an accomplice to Israel’s brutality for over half of a century.
