US Stands Isolated in Backing Gaza Massacre 美國因支持加薩大屠殺而陷入孤立 BY MEDEA BENJAMIN – NICOLAS J. S. DAVIES Nov 2 2023
First it runs down important facts. For example, the documented Israeli deaths on Oct. 7 are so far 961 of which at most 361 are civilians, the rest being military or police. (And that leaves out the civilians killed by the IDF in crossfire or unconstrained shooting.)
Second, it provides a solid list of demands to be made on our government. A call for a cease-fire is not enough.
Here is the relevant paragraph:
“Apart from the United States, the world is remarkably united behind the goal of ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories it occupied in 1967. The United States should stop fueling the occupation with an endless supply of weapons, and stop diplomatically shielding Israel from international efforts to end the occupation. Since the United States has utterly failed in its role as a mediator and honest broker between Israel and Palestine, acting instead as a party to the conflict on Israel’s side, it must now step aside to allow real mediators to take on that role.
