Ayman Mohyeldin: The U.S. made the right moves against Russia. It's time to do the same to Israel.
So dangerous is this right-wing government that Israel’s opposition parties and thousands of Israelis for weeks have been protesting proposed changes to the country’s judiciary, sounding the alarm about the country’s future.have warned that proposed changes would effectively erode the judiciary’s independence and continue to entrench the undemocratic nature of the Middle East’s so-called only democracy, one which has been accused of committing the crime of apartheid against the Palestinians.
"I am very worried about what Netanyahu is doing and some of his allies in government and what may happen to the Palestinian people," Sen.in an interview with CBS News’ Margaret Brennan."And let me tell you something, I mean, I haven’t said this publicly. But I think the United States gives billions of dollars in aid to Israel. And I think we’ve got to put some strings attached to that and say, 'You cannot run a racist government.
That statement is as far as any American politician has recently gone in condemning Israel’s actions. For most, what happens in Israel-Palestine barely registers beyond the usual platitudes of American politicians’ knee-jerk reaction that Israel has a right to defend itself from Palestinian attacks. The deadly start to 2023 for both Israelis and Palestinians, albeit in incomparable measures, coupled with the rise of a Jewish extremist government hell-bent on consolidating power and evading accountability both at home and abroad, suggests we are at a tipping point in the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
We may be reminded again very soon, just as previous American administrations have learned, that ignoring the oppression of Palestinians for political conveniency is perilous and irresponsible.
