EXCELLENT — How Deep Is the US-Israel Rupture After Iran?

So heartening and indeed a significant and hopeful step forward! And as one of my longtime activist immigrant friend reflects:

Holy sh*t y'all.
I never thought I would see this.
Fareed Zakaria (who is as establishment a figure as you can find in US politics) just interviewed Israeli-American holocaust scholar Omer Bartov on CNN.
Bartov proceeded to call current Zionism "militaristic, expansionist, violent, racist and genocidal" on a mainstream cable news channel.
Do you know what a big deal this is? What a sea change this represents?
NUMEROUS immigrants were incarcerated and deported for saying MUCH LESS in the past 2 years. People were fired for saying this. Students were expelled from universities and are still being punished for speaking out in a much milder manner.
Israel's propaganda is absolutely collapsing.
It took too long but I did not think I would live to see the day that these opinions would become normalized....
Now how do we get our elected officials to follow through so we can STOP sending weapons to this out-of-control Apartheid state?

We continue to have so far to go. That said, this sign of a rupture with the justification for bombing the Palestinian people and beyond into oblivion and continuing to align with the psychopath Netanyahu is so overdue and so vitally needed. In addition, I need to acknowledge that Chris Hedges has also clearly written about "Israel's suicidal rupture with the US"  https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/israels-suicidal-rupture-with-theMay it be so! Blessed be the truth-tellers!! — Molly

How deep is the US-Israel rupture after Iran?

Trump has clashed with Netanyahu several times in recent months, believing the Israeli leader and his government were making it more difficult for the US to strike a deal with Iran by attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon. Coupled with an increase of American adults with an unfavorable view of Israel, could this be a sign that the US-Israel alliance is in trouble?
Fareed and experts dive into where things stand in the wake of the war.
