Tlaib’s comments there called for the U.S. government to address Israel’s mistreatment of occupied Palestinians. Contributing writer, John Mason, reports on that event and also presents a brief observation on how American Democrats and Republicans both share in antisemitic sentiments, though unequally.

ROUNDUP: Two Key American Leaders Figuring Prominently in Pro-Palestinian Support• New Israeli ‘Minister of Chaos’ Cracks Down on West Bank• Palestinian Critics Outraged at Palestinian Authority Attendance at Aqaba Summit

Our roundup this week honors former President Jimmy Carter, 98 years old, who is now living at home in medical hospice. His post-presidency attack on Israel’s treatment of Palestinians got him in some trouble. Another American supporter of Palestinians who deserves attention is Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders. He has called for cutting billions of U.S. dollars over Israel’s “racist moves.” Contributing writer, John Mason, writes about these revered leaders and a third, less savory personality, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has supported Jewish terrorists and is now Israel’s Minister of National Security for all Israelis and Palestinians. Finally, there is a brief note on Palestinian critics’ fury over the Palestinian Authority due to its attendance at the recent Aqaba Summit with Israel.
