US continues to double down on its support for Israel
The United States has doubled down on its support for Israel. In a visit to Tel Aviv, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin promised more munitions, tactical vehicles, and air defense systems to Israel and said he wasn't there to "dictate timelines for peace".
The United States will remain Israel's closest friend in the world. As I've said repeatedly, our support for Israel security remains unshakable. And it always will.
Lloyd Austin, US Secretary of State
For over two months, Israel has blocked deliveries of water, fuel, food, and medicine, leading top NGO Human Rights Watch to say that Israel "is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare".
Indiscriminate airstrikes have destroyed 20 percent of the buildings in Gaza.
Israel's war crimes have caused their support to plummet in a country traditionally dominated by pro-Zionist sentiment.
Polls show that just 30% of the United States wants to send Israel more weapons and that the majority of Americans aged 18 to 24 have effectively become anti-Zionists, with 51% agreeing that the long-term answer is for "Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians".
Victory has never seemed so close because this idea of the invincible Israel was shattered on October 7.
And now the so called Axis of Resistance is now including people of the world, right? It's no longer just the Axis of Resistance to the Middle East.
This the people in the diasporas, it's people who have a conscience in Brazil, in India, where trade unions are also demanding to divest and to boycott Israel.
The Axis of Resistance is expanded to almost the entire world.

Despite recent talk in the United States mainstream media that Israeli atrocities are causing a rift between Washington and Tel Aviv, many believe history's actions speak louder than words.
And I think this is where we have to have a class analysis. It's absolutely in the interest of the 1%.
In fact, they are desperate because they have relied on Israel for 75 years as a forward military force, first for the UK and then for the last 60 years for the US, Israel has been their unsinkable aircraft carrier.

The US Secretary of Defense and Tel Aviv also discussed a transition to a so-called next phase of the war against the long-brutalized Palestinians.
