As Mehdi Hasan has written in The Guardian, Israel has become a rogue state, having exempted itself from any modicum of civilized behavior. If the last twelve months haven’t proven this to the world, the past few weeks should.
Israel just murdered the mayor of a city in Lebanon. Two cabinet ministers recently used out-and-out genocidal language. Gaza has been deprived by Israel of humanitarian aid to such an extent that even Milquetoast Blinken is using stronger language with Israel.
Having said that, the time for more than words has long passed. Biden and his team have been 100% complicit so far, threatening the US moral standing in the world (if we still have any), and making the election of Donald Trump more likely .
I expect that Hasan’s idea if expelling Israel from the UN, however compelling, would never fly with Zionist Biden, but the US could at least start by following through on withholding further aid. Time to stop talking and start acting.
