White House 'Scrambles' While Netanyahu Simply Continues
According to The New York Times, the White House is once again concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu's actions undermining a Gaza deal. This sentiment is curiously familiar. Netanyahu, who has openly opposed a two-state solution for decades and whose current government includes ministers advocating for ethnic cleansing, has repeatedly sabotaged peace efforts. President Biden himself approved a $15
billion arms package to Israel just last month, including advanced F-35 fighter jets and bombs, despite these omnipresent 'concerns.' (OpenSecrets shows AIPAC spent over $3.7 million in 2024 to influence elections, often backing those who vote for such aid.) This isn't 'scrambling'; it's a predictable dance. The U.S. media positions Netanyahu as an unpredictable rogue, but his actions are entirely
consistent with his public statements and historical record, from the expansion of settlements to the 2008-09, 2012, 2014, and current assaults on Gaza. The U.S. continues to provide the diplomatic cover and military hardware, while expressing performative 'concerns.' At what point does 'scrambling' become enablement?
