Israel's racism against Palestinians has subsumed official Jewish life. American Jews have abandoned their best traditions out of deference to a militant state that exists in constant fear of those it subjugates.

Abstract:  All across the U.S., Jewish establishment groups and individuals are lobbying for Israel, and if they mention the slaughter of Palestinian civilians, they blame Hamas.

William Daroff, the head of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued a statement calling for Jewish unity in the face of international protests of Israel and never mentioned Palestinians at all. There has been an "astonishing and alarming rise in antisemitism… in response to Israeli governmental action-" Action? Israel has killed more civilians in two months than have been killed in the Ukraine war in almost two years. But Daroff saw a battle for Jewish survival.

The world clearly sees Hamas's crimes, but it also sees the horrifying scenes from Gaza, which never stop. Almost every nation has called for a ceasefire except the United States, and BBC commentators regularly describe conditions in Gaza as apocalyptic.
