With evidence suggesting that Trump is using the presidency for his personal gain, one should not overlook what has been lost in America’s approach to the Middle East since Trump reentered the White House. Trump’s choice not to visit Israel on his trip to the region, despite Israeli requests that he do so, demonstrates that he’s neglecting Israel’s interests for his own.

1 day ago - No sooner had we all begun to process the Maduro abduction, however, than Trump was off on a new mission to starve Cuba and otherwise thwart life on the island. Then at the end of February, the US and Israel decided to launch a demented war on Iran, embroiling the Middle East and nudging the entire planet towards apocalypse. On April 7, the US head of state very professionally warned the Iranians that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again”. Add to all of this Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which proceeds apace with US backing, in spite of an alleged “ceasefire” and which has officially killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians. Earlier this year, an Al Jazeera Arabic investigation revealed that thousands of Palestinians had been “evaporated” in Gaza thanks to Israel’s arsenal of US-manufactured thermal and thermobaric munitions that “vaporise” human bodies.

May 13, 2025 - If anything can be sudden after 584 days, the release by Hamas on Monday of the last living Israeli-American hostage, Edan Alexander, was indeed an unexpected and wonderful surprise.

3 weeks ago - Russia and the Gulf Arab states have engaged in foreign influence on US policy in various ways. But Israel’s foreign influence on US policy, now and over time, far outstrips that of these other countries. To emphasize the role of the former, while omitting the role of the latter, is a form of propaganda. Omission of crucial facts is no different, from a moral perspective, than lying. Across the political spectrum, and over many years, even when, as in the last decade, the topic of foreign influence on the US was central, the US news media has systematically omitted Israel as a problematic source of foreign influence (the omission has been so obvious as to have been a source of late-night comedy more than a decade ago). From a moral perspective, nothing justifies this propaganda on behalf of Israel. Why is anyone surprised by the US and Israel’s latest war?
