Mondoweiss:
"Last month, a top staffer at the Jewish organization J Street who had worked for Obama and Harris explained that Congress’s tradition of backing Israel 'no matter what' was imposed by a 'well-funded group of… Jews.'

'A small, organized and well-funded group of American Jews treated the issue as a threshold question in elections, and most candidates decided it wasn’t worth antagonizing them,' Ilan Goldenberg wrote. Not long ago, such attacks on the Israel lobby (including my own) were dismissed as antisemitic conspiracy theories. Now, a leading Jewish organization publishes them.

That’s because the American Jewish community is today in open crisis over its historic support for Israel. Prominent Jews are finally attacking the lobby, a political structure created 60 years ago by leading Jewish groups to make sure there was no daylight between the Israeli and U.S. governments."

-->This Sunday's NYT Opinions Section has finally gotten around to describing the world of hurt the Democrats have put themselves in by blindly supporting Israel's genocide. It's about time! But still the NYT talks about hiring smarter analysts, while avoiding the moral and human rights issues that have led America's youth to rebel. It's the genocide, stupid!

Common Dreams:
"Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of data platform company Palantir, is calling for the return of public hangings as part of a broader push to restore what he describes as 'masculine leadership' to the US.

In a statement posted on X Friday, Lonsdale said that he supported changing the so-called 'three strikes' anti-crime law to ensure that anyone who is convicted of three violent crimes gets publicly executed, rather than simply sent to prison for life.

'If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law,' he wrote. 'We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.' Lonsdale then added that 'our society needs balance,' and said that 'it’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.' ”

-->Why no coverage of this story? I think it is because it exposes some of the monsters we have running our government. Perhaps Lonsdale would like to hang them himself, you know to give the whole thing a little more "masculine leadership." I think there should be a penalty for becoming a billionaire in a society where so many families can't afford to eat.

Common Dreams:
"A new assessment by the international wealth management giant UBS this week shows that the number of billionaires in the world has reached new heights and that the acceleration of inherited wealth represents a new chapter for the ultra-rich in the 21st Century.

The latest UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report, unveiled Thursday, details how just 2,919 individual billionaires have a combined wealth of $15.8 trillion. The number of billionaires in the world is up nearly 9 percent from the previous year. In the United States—where nearly a third of those on the list reside—924 billionaires hold a collective $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The assessment by UBS—which surveyed its own billionaire clients as part of the survey, now its eleventh edition—emphasizes a surge of inherited wealth among the billionaire class. According to the report."

-->A few business publications carried this story. But why not the NYT? Well, our newspaper of record spends its time defending the very wealthy in our society. The revolution just won't be "fit to print," whenever it appears on the horizon.

Common Dreams:
"Reports of Israeli authorities torturing Palestinian prisoners have been publicized for years, with freed detainees describing frequent beatings, attacks by dogs, and rape and sexual abuse, and the United Nations Committee Against Torture now says Palestinians have been victimized by a 'de facto state policy of organized and widespread torture.'

Both Palestinian and Israeli rights groups gave reports to the committee on conditions in Israeli detention centers, detailing Israel’s regular deprivation of food and water for detainees as well as the 'severe beatings,' electrocution, waterboarding. and sexual violence Israeli guards and other authorities perpetrate. ...

The de facto policy of torture in Israel’s has 'gravely intensified' since Israel began bombarding Gaza after a Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, the report found. Despite a ceasefire that was agreed to in October, those retaliatory attacks against the exclave are continuing and still constitute a genocide, Amnesty International said this week."

-->Let's face it. Israel routinely tortures, rapes and murders Palestinian prisoners. Why can't our newspaper of record, The NYT, admit this as well?

Amnesty:
"Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza continues unabated despite ceasefire. More than a month after a ceasefire was announced and all living Israeli hostages were released, Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction, without signalling any change in   their intent, said Amnesty International today.

In a briefing released today, the organization provides a legal analysis of the ongoing genocide along with testimonies from local residents, medical staff and humanitarian workers highlighting the dire ongoing conditions for Palestinians in Gaza.

'The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal. But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over,' said Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International."

-->Well maybe the genocide is over, if you depend on the NYT to get your news. Why wouldn't the NYT cover this story?

Common Dreams:
"A United Nations report claims that Israel’s assault on Gaza has led to 'the most severe economic crisis ever recorded,' with nearly seven decades’ worth of economic development wiped out over the span of two years.

The report, which was released on Monday by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), found that all 2.3 million people in the exclave now live below the poverty line, with per-capita gross domestic product falling to just $161, one of the lowest figures in the world.

Lancet Study Shows Over 3 Million Years of Human Life Lost in Israeli Assault on Gaza
Additionally, the report found that the unemployment rate in Gaza was as high as 80%, while inflation in the exclave surged to nearly 240%, as the Israeli military blockade caused a widespread famine by preventing basic necessities from reaching Gaza residents."

-->Why no NYT coverage of this UN and Lancet study of the economic ramifications of genocide? Our newspaper of record always errors on the side of Zionists.
