It's been clear for a while that if Israel's campaign to depopulate Gaza doesn't face any serious repercussions, the next step will be ethnically cleansing the West Bank. And if the flow of US weapons still isn't cut off, the non-Jewish population within the 1967 borders will be targeted next.

The US, by sending an immense quantity of weapons to Israel and by stepping in to deter any military challenge to Israel's program of extermination (by Iran or perhaps others) is actively complicit in it. Few in this country are prepared to acknowledge that.

I wonder if/hope that the actions of the ICJ will allow Harris the support to begin an incremental shift towards honoring and respecting both international and US law but know that the press will portray it as antisemitism

They can do all of this with or without any further US weapons

Even the language of Biden hugging Bibi to keep him close and preventing him from the worst. Jesus Christ, how fucking bleak is that? We're going to a year into supporting unabashed genocide and all we got is, "Vote for the Girl Boss!"

1/2 Yup - once you start on a purity campaign, there is never a point of satiation. The Bedouin use to be held up as an example of the "good" non-Jewish population who could be counted on to help Israel military.
