In Episode 184 [13] of the CounterVortex podcast [14], Bill Weinberg notes that Israeli President Isaac Herzog's address to Congress was happily boycotted [15] by members of the "Squad," and comes as even establishment voices [16] are calling for a cut-off of US aid [17] in light of the deep political crisis [18] in Israel. Unhappily, Rep. Pramila Jayapal was forced to issue an apology [19] for having called Israel a "racist state"—which is a mere statement of political reality [20]. In contrast, Ron DeSantis [21] was not forced to issue any such apology for openly embracing [22] Israel's illegal annexationist designs [23] on the West Bank—even as they are protested by UN international law experts [24]. All this comes as Israel has joined the US as the only countries on Earth to recognize Moroccan annexation of Western Sahara, a condition of the so-called Abraham Accords [25].

Also: Sinead O'Connor's support for Palestine and confrontation [28] with Itamar Ben Gvir [29].
