Jenin’s Children Will Never Forget

GIDEON LEVY  Children look on as they sit on a staircase by the rubble and broken furniture of a destroyed flat in a building in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on July 5, 2023, after the Israeli army declared the end of a two-day military operation in the area.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August/September 2023, pp. 12-13 Three Views—Israeli Forces Use Advanced Military Weaponry on Densely Populated Jenin By Gideon Levy A BOY OF ABOUT THREE left his house Wednesday morning, for the first time in two days, with his mother and grandmother—his mother’s hand in one hand, a toy gun in the other. The street was still mostly empty, only a few residents had dared to go out, and those who had seemed to be in sho...

Despite Growing Objections, Washington Sticks With ‘Israel’

MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES. Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August/September 2023, pp. 24-25 Congress Watch By Julia Pitner ON MARCH 19, 2023, the Biden administration harshly criticized an Israeli law passed in the Knesset that repeals the 2005 Israeli disengagement from the northern occupied West Bank, calling it a “provocation” and a violation of commitments Israel made to the U.S. The law allows Israeli citizens to enter and reside in the area between the cities of Jenin and Nablus, whic...

The Rush to Admit ‘Israel’ into the U.S. Visa Waiver Program is Baffling and Insulting

DR. JAMES J. ZOGBY ISRAEL-PALESTINE POSTED ON JULY 21, 2023 Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August/September 2023, pp. 26-27 Special Report By Dr. James J. Zogby THAT SOME BIDEN administration officials appear to be in a rush to admit Israel into the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows for mutual, short-term entry between participating countries and the U.S., is both baffling and insulting.   It’s baffling because both the Departments of State (DOS) and Homeland Security (DHS) know that Israel doesn’t meet one of the essential conditions for entry into the program. Any country seeking admission into the VWP must guarantee full reciprocity, that is “equal treatment and freedom of travel for all U.S. citizens regardless...

The Adriana Shipwreck and the Costs of the Forever Wars

Protesters, tourists, and passersby walk by banners in support to the victims of the deadly migrant shipwreck, off Greek southern Peloponeese peninsula earlier this month, reading “Pylos was a mass murder by the Greek state and the European Union,” at Athens central Monastiraki square, on June 28, 2023.  (Photo: Louisa Gouliamaki/AFP via Getty Images) Framing many of the migrant’s deaths as in some sense war-related should force us to pay attention to ways in which fighting in or around their countries of origin might have impacted their fates. ANDREA MAZZARINO Seeking news coverage about the Adriana, the boat crowded with some 700 people migrating to Europe to seek a better life that sank in mid-June off the coast of Greece, I googled “migrant ship” and got...

Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush. JULIA CONLEY Two U.S. House progressives on Tuesday made clear that their decision to stand up against the violent apartheid policies of the Israeli government is not viewed as controversial by international human rights experts and that the facts are on their side, even as the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers joined R...

GOP Assault on Child Labor Laws Under Fresh Scrutiny After 16-Year-Old Dies at Poultry Plant

Duvan Pérez, a 16-year-old boy from Guatemala, died on July 14 at the Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.  (Photo: Facebook) "How many more children must die?" asked the leader of the AFL-CIO. "Any lawmaker who wants to undermine child labor laws, in 2023, is a disgrace." KENNY STANCIL The recent death of a minor from injuries sustained while working at a poultry plant in Mississippi has elicited fresh outrage about the dangerous implications of the current assault on child labor protections across the United States. Authorities confirmed Tuesday that Duvan Pérez, a 16-year-old boy from Guatemala, died last Friday at the Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg. Pushing back against the framing of Pérez's death as an unexpected mishap, Terri Gers...

Student loan borrowers and the Too Much Talent Band demand debt cancellation outside the White House on January 13, 2022, in Washington, D.C.  (Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images for We The 45 Million) "Restarting the fundamentally broken student loan system without first delivering on the relief promised to borrowers remains a grave mistake, and will only exacerbate already dire economic situations for millions." JESSICA CORBETT As millions of Americans prepare to start making student loan payments again in October, nearly 180 organizations on Wednesday pressured U.S. President Joe Biden to immediately enact a new plan to deliver on long-promised relief for federal borrowers. After the U.S. Supreme Court's right-wing majority ruled last month that the Higher Edu...

US Asset Managers Have ‘Significant Investments’ in Nuclear Weapons and Cluster Bombs: Analysis

Protesters demand financial institutions stop investing in nukes in this photo posted on social media on November 21, 2021 by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN).  (Photo: ICAN) "Many investors, given a choice, would not want to profit from companies that manufacture weapons of mass destruction," said As You Sow's Andrew Behar. BRETT WILKINS Amidst what the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists calls "an exceedingly dangerous nuclear situation" facing humanity today, the largest U.S. mutual funds—which manage the retirement and other savings of tens of millions of Americans—are profiting from investments in nuclear weapons, cluster munitions, and other banned or controversial arms, an analysis by a leading shareholder advocacy grou...

Migration Bill Passed by UK Violates International Human Rights Law: UN Experts

Immigrant rights advocates demonstrate in Portland, England on July 18, 2023.  (Photo: Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) "This bill sets a worrying precedent for dismantling asylum-related obligations that other countries, including in Europe, may be tempted to follow," said the U.N. human rights chief. KENNY STANCIL A pair of United Nations commissioners on Tuesday accused the United Kingdom of violating its international human rights and refugee law obligations after the country's Conservative Party-led Parliament approved legislation cracking down on asylum-seekers. Tories passed the so-called Illegal Migration Bill, the centerpiece of right-wing U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's pledge to "stop the boats" crossing the English Channel, on Monday night. It is set to...
