The 'Democratic Majority for Israel' attempts to send a softer message on Israel than AIPAC, but a look at its website shows that it basically functions as an AIPAC cut-out.
Americans need to oust people like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, and elect more people like Graham Platner. Israel is only friends with the U.S. for as long as the money and military equipment keeps flowing. Once it stops, Israel will show the U.S. its bared fangs.
For many years I was an ardent supporter of Israel. MSM would have you believe that this is still the abused Israel of the 40's and we should all stand beside them against the rest of the world, if necessary. The ugly truth, some 8 decades later, is much, much different. They've become a version of WW2 Germany, and it is now the Palestinians who find themselves in the same shoes jews found themselves in less than a century ago. It's sad, and incredibly disheartening to see modern-day Israel dishing out the same sort of pain and torment that they, themselves, endured. I wish the best for both the Israeli and Palestinian people, but I think much like in the US, those in power have different ideas of what 'peace' looks like.
I share your concern for Palestinian suffering and I’m deeply critical of Netanyahu, settlements, and endless occupation.
But comparing Israel to WWII Germany is absolute historical distortion, not moral clarity. It weaponizes Jewish trauma and turns a complex war into a crude role-reversal story.
It also erases the role of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran in driving this conflict — from terrorism and hostage-taking to rocket attacks and regional escalation. Palestinian suffering is real, but pretending Israel is simply “dishing out” pain for no reason ignores the forces openly committed to Israel’s destruction.
You can argue strongly for Palestinian rights without false Nazi analogies or erasing the continuing threats Israelis face. Nazis or casting Palestinians as “the new Jews.” That analogy doesn’t persuade; it inflames.
Every human rights organization on the planet, including two Israeli human rights organizations, have concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Omar Bartov, Israeli American genocide scholar at Brown University has determined that Israel is committing genocide. That Israel is committing genocide has been determined by nearly all experts in the field.
Is your argument that genocide against Jews is somehow worse than genocide of Palestinians? Are you arguing that killing a population with gas chambers is somehow more inhumane than killing them through starvation, disease, bombs and sniper shots to the head?
Or, is your argument that the trauma being suffered by Palestinians in Gaza is less real than the trauma suffered by Jews in the Holocaust? If so, is it because you see them as a lesser people?
Even if you could make an argument that the genocide of Jews was uniquely evil and worse than the genocide of Palestinians, do you believe that the Palestinian genocide is acceptable?
It’s hard to make the arguments you’ve made unless you are in denial of the genocide or that you somehow view the Palestinian suffering as not worthy of concern. So, I suggest you look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you are in denial of the facts or you are a racist.
The article is right that Democratic opinion toward Israel’s government has deteriorated. But significantly distorts the evidence that it implies Democrats have broadly abandoned Israel. Polling from Gallop, Pew and Harvard/Harris show something far more honest: Democrats increasingly oppose Netanyahu, the Gaza war, and unconditional military support, while still strongly supporting a two-state solution — which necessarily includes Israel’s continued existence as a Jewish state alongside a Palestinian state.
This why many question Zeteo's journalistic integrity.
I don't question Zeteo's integrity. I question yours, tho. Because, I'm guessing your a zionist apologist and supporter. Zionism, and apartheid regimes of any kind, have no place in the modern world. And spare me the "but Hezbollah and Hamas" argument. Zionists have been murdering, displacing, torturing, and othewise terrorizing Palestinians for 74 years. Note I did not say "jews." The Nakba is real. There are far too many of us now fully aware of how Israel came to be. It's not too late to set the record straight, and make the Palestinians whole. And the invaders that took their homeland may return to Europe (mostly) from whence they came.
Thank you as always. Have to break the chain.

Jeffries and Schumer are Wimpycrats who continually wimp out before Trump. Both of them must go along with Blue Dogs like FetterMANCHIN!

Unable to post this on Facebook. Facebook has started rejecting posts from Zeteo and Robert Scheer.
We have had it with AIPAC, Likud and Booby Nincompoopo.
With good luck, Iran could make a decent abyss in Israel,
Take the wind out of their sails.
