Its sad to see how many supposedly progressive people don't care about how the Biden Admin enabled the Trump's Admin's escalation of the Genocide, or even about the consistency of holding everyone accountable for the crime that is Genocide

    You should discuss it with your other comrades in your chapter, imo. Individually first or as a meeting motion if you want a vote on it

    To me, this seems like a fun topic in something more like a reading group or mixer rather than a general meeting topic, but that's just me

    Akbar Shahid Ahmed examines in his latest book "Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisors, and Israel's War in Gaza" how the Biden administration enabled Israel's war in Gaza. From ignored red lines and continued arms sales, to cutting UNRWA funding, US policy toward the ICC and the groundwork laid for Trump to further escalate the situation in Palestine.

     

    Devin O'Shea dives deep into the rabbit hole of the Veiled Prophet Society in St. Louis, a secretive organization of the city's wealthy elite that has wielded political and social power for nearly 150 years. The story begins with the St. Louis working-class movement of 1877, when a massive general strike briefly challenged the city's ruling class and helped set the stage for the emergence of the Veiled Prophet Organization the following year.

    Finkelstein was born in New York City to Jewish Holocaust-survivor parents. He is a graduate of Binghamton University and received his Ph.D. in political science from Princeton University. He has held faculty positions at Brooklyn College, Rutgers University, Hunter College, New York University, and DePaul University, where he was an assistant professor from 2001 to 2007.

    Finkelstein rose to prominence in 2000 after publishing The Holocaust Industry, a book in which he writes that the memory of the Holocaust is exploited as an ideological weapon to provide Israel a degree of immunity from criticism.

    Great analysis, keep it up!
