Trump just removed our nation from the UN Human Rights Council. This is madness. We are now a fascist nation, with no real government as Congress has been sidelined thanks to the cowardice of the Republican Party. We have no regulations or recourse to combat any of the daily horrors that we are witnessing, as our democracy literally crumbles. Trump is already talking about having Congress do away with term limits. We are watching our Republic die in real time here and it is sickening.
I don't understand the "we have no recourse, ...we are watching...!" Since when do Americans accept powerlessness, defeat and a lack of courage and creativity?"
These are two criminal dictators who care nothing about religion or people or rights or law. They should both be prosecuted by the Hague for crimes against humanity.
It's truly amazing how quickly things can change. Trump now calls for all Palestinians to be removed from Gaza and Netanyahu's attacks on Israeli institutions seem quaint in light of Elon Musks attacks on our infrastructure.
I know this was probably written earlier today or even a few days ago, but this just happened today. We warned Muslims who voted for Trump this would be the outcome. Congrats.
Unbelievably shameful. Trump's comments about Palestinians are hardly a surprise but deeply concerning nonetheless. The United States should be pushing back on Netanyahu's dangerous agenda and pushing for not only a peaceful solution but rebuilding. Trump's lack of regard for human rights of anyone but his White nationalist friends must be consistently opposed. This is a frightening state of affairs.
Getting directly involved in the politics of another country is often a foolhardy exercise. Netanyahu has been unusually successful in exploiting post-9/11 US politics, but it has come at a cost as the article demonstrates. Should Democrats get more politically involved in Netanyahu's opposition? It depends on whether it can be done in a way that does not alienate Israeli citizens generally. Helping Israeli voters decide to choose differently is a good thing; being seen as meddling is not.
Welp. After today this is certainly a quaint little piece. The two felons having decided on genocide and conquest have removed any pretense of humanity or decency from their oleaginous union. The set-up was always for Jared to develop Mar a Lago Mideast with his Saudi billions. Palestinian labor will come cheap. How weird is it that we are now the Fourth Reich and Israel is our ally in Libestraum.
We gave to remember that Netanyahoo's waiting on the hostage deal was meant to help Trump win, making sure Biden and Harris did not get the Kudos and so peeling off both Jews and Muslims from Harris-Walz. The Muslims who didn't vote for Kamala are now betrayed. Biden and Harris were their best Allies, trying to stay a course that would bring about a two state solution. What a waste. Last time we had such a waste was Monica Lewinsky being caught hugging Clinton on camera.
Allowing Trump and Netanyahu to continue on their quest to stay out jail at the expense of the American and Israeli people will lead to a world war. And now that Trump has welcomed Musk into his fold, God help us because these so call leaders will use every possible means to create a safe haven for themselves and use our military to continue their quest for Nazi power.
I am guessing that you wrote this before Trump announced he wanted to kick the Palestinians out of Gaza, take control of it, and develop it to his liking?
No honor among thieves? First Felon & Bibi are two of a kind. Their interests lie in what is best for them personally. Bibi wants to stay out of jail & First Felon is looking for a place to build a new hotel. They don't care about the people they were elected to serve or Palestine and its people.

A fugitive from the international criminal court in the White House! How appropriate!
If the US had any credibility in the third world, it was lost by the presence of this war criminal in US custody.

This is a great article. Like Trump, the only thing keeping Netanyahu from jail has been continued power.

Netanyahu is "The Butcher of Gaza" and is thus a criminal. What is he doing in The People's White House?
The same thing that Donald Trump, another criminal who also evaded punishment, is doing in our NOT so very "White" house.
America and Israel need to think about that, first and foremost. We both (U.S. & Israel) caused our own problem.

Reading this excellent column just as Trump is calling for the US to "take ownership" of Gaza. Is your head exploding?

No after. Netanyahoo is all on board with Trump
