There are cracks in both parties. The question is who has the bigger cracks

"Irreparable"?? Please. It's February.

The Arab Americans who say they will vote against Biden on principle are an interesting bunch. Do they honestly think Trump, who plans to engage in militarized mass deportation of non-white people, will be any better? Any friendlier to them or their families? Care about Gaza more?

Yes there are laws and rules to follow

The law is that pushbacks are illegal! CBP are the ones not following laws and rules!

Progressive groups preemptively rip Biden over immigration executive actions

Quote

Those groups, totaling more than 150 international, national, state, local and faith-based entities, said in a letter to the White House that the policies under consideration — including an asylum ban between U.S. ports of entry — emulate the approach of the Trump administration and “extremist legislators.”

 “using immigrant communities as a political pawn is wrong.”

Among the ideas the White House is considering include using a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar migrants from seeking asylum in between U.S. ports of entry

The administration is also discussing ways to make it harder for asylum seekers to pass an initial screening, essentially raising the “credible fear standard,” as well as ways to quickly deport others who don’t meet those elevated asylum standards.

“This is a moment of opportunity for the White House to reclaim the narrative around immigration by embracing a humane approach to the border, to asylum, and to immigration policy — not by trying to outdo the extremists,” said Heidi Altman, director of policy at the NIJC, in an interview. “Deterrent-oriented policies don’t work to reduce numbers. They don’t work to reduce operational challenges. The only thing they’re guaranteed to do is cause a lot of human suffering.”

U.S. Defends Israel’s Occupation of the West Bank at Top U.N. Court

Quote

The United States on Wednesday defended Israel’s decades-long occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem


The defense came a day after the United States issued its third veto against a call for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza at the United Nations Security Council, a vote that drew an angry response from nations and aid groups that have urged a stop to the fighting to help Gaza’s civilians.

Haitian Asylum Seekers Take Biden Admin to Court for Racial Discrimination, Rights Violations
Quote
A federal court in Washington, D.C., heard arguments Thursday in a lawsuit accusing the Biden administration of racial discrimination and rights violations of Haitian asylum seekers. The suit was brought on behalf of 11 Haitian asylum seekers who were abused by U.S. border agents as more than 15,000 people, mostly from Haiti, were forced to stay in a makeshift border encampment on the banks of the Rio Grande near the Acuña-Del Rio International Bridge in Texas. One of the plaintiffs is Mirard Joseph, the asylum seeker whose image went viral after being photographed while a Border Patrol agent on horseback lashed him with split reins, grabbed his neck and gripped Joseph by the shirt collar. “This is a critical junction in our country here in the United States as we make sure to uphold human rights and understanding seeking asylum is a human right,” says Guerline Jozef, executive director of immigrant advocacy organization Haitian Bridge Alliance, which helped bring the case on behalf of asylum seekers. “We will continue to push forward and make sure that accountability is served but also we have systematic change in the way that we receive people in the United States.”

The comment section is brutal. Haitian people are seeking asylum. There are unliveable conditions in Haiti for the majority of the population. A lot of them are desperate and just want to live a normal life just as we do.
Yes there are laws and rules to follow but this is not the way to treat human beings or any other being for that matter (yes they’re also people just as worthy and not beneath anyone) Once again, if those fleeing violence and starvation had blond hair and blue eyes it would gain “everyone’s”sympathy and outrage at the brutal and appalling treatment.
It’s sad and sickening. Whatever happened to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" The absence of compassion and empathy is shameful.

To those who may think I’ll entertain their detached triggering racist low class rants:
I won’t. Don’t bother.

Palestinian Historian Calls Biden ‘BRAINWASHED’ By Israel Lobby
Quote
Palestinian-American historian Rashid Khalidi analyzes Joe Biden and what influences his view on Israel. He describes Biden as “someone who's clearly been brainwashed by the Israeli politicians and the lobbyists who have focused on him for his entire life, starting with Golda Meir.
He has described her impact on him. We can go on what he’s said. He was taken by Golda. And I think he has a casual contempt for the Palestinians. Many of the things he's said are insulting and dehumanizing to the Palestinians. What he said about Palestinian casualties. He's a man who decided support of Israel was an important part of his political persona early on. And there are many, many, many statements by him, “if Israel didn't exist, we’d have to create it, I’m a Zionist” and so on. He’s surrounded himself with people like Blinken, like Sullivan, like Admiral Kirby, who have a contempt for and ignorance of the Arab world and of the Palestinians.”

I think Khalidi's take on Biden and Trump is spot-on.  If it does come down to those two, it will be a lose-lose for the U.S.   Won't make a difference for Palestine since both parties are all-in for Israel.

Spot on about Biden AND Trump!

US-formed coalition in Red Sea part of aggression against Palestinians, Yemen's Houthis say

Quote

The international coalition formed by the U.S. to protect maritime navigation in the Red Sea is part of the aggression against the Palestinian people, the political bureau of Yemen's Houthi group said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the coalition contradicts international law.

"The international coalition that America announced under the pretext of protecting maritime navigation in the Red Sea is an alliance to protect the Israeli entity and to protect Israeli ships. It is an integral part of the aggression against the Palestinian people, Gaza, and the Arab and Islamic nations," its politburo said.

"It aims to encourage the Zionist entity to continue its brutal crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza, this coalition contradicts international law and does not protect maritime navigation, but rather threatens it and seeks to militarize the Red Sea for the benefit of the Israeli entity," the statement said.

"Yemen's armed forces don't represent any threat to any country, we only target Israeli ships or ships heading toward Israeli ports", it added.

"We affirm our steadfast position in supporting the Palestinian people until Israel’s aggression ends, and siege on the Gaza strip is lifted."

Security Council searching for a Gaza vote that U.S. won’t veto

Quote

The U.N. Security Council struggled Tuesday to come up with a resolution that will stop the fighting in Gaza — at least for long enough to implement an effective flow of humanitarian aid into the enclave — but that would not be vetoed by the United States.

A vote on a final resolution, sponsored by the United Arab Emirates, is possible later Tuesday, according to U.N. officials. The goal, officials said, is obtaining U.S. agreement to vote yes, or at least for Washington to abstain to allow the measure to pass.

The Biden administration has vetoed previous resolutions

Austin says US support for Israel unshakeable as Gaza ceasefire calls grow

Quote

Speaking alongside Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in Tel Aviv on Monday, Austin said US support for Israel was “unshakeable”, as the death toll from the Israeli assault on Gaza surpassed 19,000

the US provides Israel with weapons and diplomatic support

Austin, however, offered reassurance on Monday, saying: “American support for Israel security is unshakable. Israel is not alone.”

Austin’s visit came amid growing concern from foreign governments and international organisations over civilian deaths in Gaza and a deepening humanitarian crisis.

the US has found itself increasingly isolated over its stance on the war between Israel and Hamas.

U.S. vetoes ceasefire demand, as UN Secretary-General warns Gaza 'at breaking point'

Quote

Gaza at 'high risk of the total collapse,' says UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres

The United States on Friday vetoed a United Nations Security Council demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza, diplomatically isolating Washington as it shields its ally.

The vote came after UN Secretary-General Guterres made a rare move on Wednesday to formally warn the 15-member council of a global threat from the two-month long war.

"What is the message we are sending Palestinians if we cannot unite behind a call to halt the relentless bombardment of Gaza?" Deputy UAE UN Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab asked the council.

Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood told the council that the draft resolution was an imbalanced text "that was divorced from reality, that would not move the needle forward on the ground in any concrete way."

"Although the United States strongly supports a durable peace in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security, we do not support this resolution's call for an unsustainable ceasefire that will only plant the seeds for the next war," said Wood.

Britain's UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward said her country abstained because there was no condemnation of Hamas.

Hamas strongly criticized the U.S. veto in a statement issued late Friday night, saying the it considers Washington's move "unethical and inhumane."

The resolution was backed by Arab and Islamic nations,Guterres and many other countries.

He warned that the Gaza Strip is at "a breaking point" and desperate people are at serious risk of starvation. He said the UN anticipates this would result in "a complete breakdown of public order and increased pressure for mass displacement into Egypt."

The United States kept up pressure on Israel to do more to protect Palestinian civilians during a fierce offensive against Hamas militants across Gaza, despite its security council resolution veto.

UN chief and many nations demand immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, but U.S. remains opposed


Quote

The United Nations chief and many Security Council members demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza on Friday, but the United States reiterated its opposition despite a direct appeal from Arab diplomats, virtually dooming any action by the UN's most powerful body.

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and other leading Arab nations and Turkey were in Washington on Friday on a rare joint mission to press the Biden administration to drop its opposition to a ceasefire given the soaring death tolls among . They were scheduled to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday afternoon.

One, the top diplomat of Jordan, told reporters in Washington that the killings of Palestinian civilians in Israel's bombardment and siege of Gaza were war crimes and threatened to destabilize the region, the U.S. and the world for years to come

despite all our efforts, Israel is continuing these massacres."

Biden Faces Revolt Over Israel-Hamas War Handling; Top CIA Official Among Hundreds Up In Arms
Quote
There is a growing revolt within the Joe Biden administration over the handling of the Israel-Hamas war. The revolt has now reached the top ranks of the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA's top analysis chief changed her Facebook profile to a Palestinian flag in protest. The incident has left Joe Biden embarrassed, as he continues to support Israel. This comes after more than 400 U.S. administration staff signed an anonymous letter demanding President Joe Biden push for an immediate end to the Gaza war. Another 1,000 employees employed by a U.S. agency for international development echoed the call. This report has full information.

Given the type of information that likely crosses the desk of a CIA analyst,
it is possible that an analyst with a moral compass would find the media spin appalling.
The difference between what is said by public officials and
what they actually know and talk about in private about the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.

That is if we assume there is such a thing as a fair minded CIA analyst.
You never know, may be there is.

U.S. -Israel Relationship

A group of former CIA analysts spoke an event that was critical of the U.S.-Israel relationship. They questioned whether Israel was truly an American ally.

“Is Israel Really a U.S. Ally?” was held at the National Press Club by the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy along with the Council for the National Interest, If Americans Knew, and the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs.
