This week on CounterSpin: The New York Times says that Amnesty International recently became “the first major international human rights organization to accuse Israel of carrying out genocide in Gaza.” That makes sense if you ignore the other human rights groups and international bodies that have said Israel's actions in the wake of Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023 meet that definition. The Times account notes that genocide is hard to prove because it involves showing the specific intent to destroy a group, “in whole or in part” — something that, they say, Israeli leaders have persistently denied is their intent in Gaza. Declarations like that by Israeli President Isaac Herzog that “it is an entire nation out there that is responsible” appear nowhere in the piece. The Times tells readers that Amnesty's “contention” and “similar allegations” have been “at the heart of difficult debates about the war around the world.” So far, 14 countries have joined or signaled they will join South Africa's genocide case against Israel in the World Court. Gallup polling from March found that the majority of the U.S. public — 55%, up from 45% last November — say they disapprove of Israel's siege of Gaza. And that support for Israel is dropping among all political affiliations. A May survey from a private Israeli think tank says nearly a third of Jewish people in the U.S. agree with the charge of “genocide,” and 34% view college campus protests as anti-war and pro-peace, compared with 28% who see them as primarily “anti-Israel.” More recently, the Israel Democracy Institute reports its survey from late November, finding that the majority of Jews in Israel — 52% — oppose settlement in Gaza, while 42% express support. There is absolutely debate around the world about Israel's actions; outlets like the Times make that debate more “difficult” by misrepresenting it. While not the first to ask us to see the assault on Palestinians as genocide, Amnesty's report offers an opening, for those journalists who are interested, to ask why some are so invested in saying it isn't. Iman Abid is the director of advocacy and organizing at the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). We talk with her today. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent press coverage of the minimum wage.   The post Iman Abid on Israeli Genocide appeared first on KPFA.

*) Powerful Turkish defence can stop Israel's war on Palestinians: Erdogan Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Türkiye would prevent Israel's brutal attacks on Palestinians in the event of Ankara being “very strong” in the defence industry. Speaking in his hometown in the northeastern province of Rize, the Turkish president emphasised Türkiye's advancements in the defence industry and expressed confidence in further progress. Erdogan said, “Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we can do the same to them. There is no reason not to do it. We just need to be strong so that we can take these steps.” *) UK's Starmer urges Israel to take steps towards Gaza ceasefire British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told Israeli President Isaac Herzog there needed to be “immediate steps” towards a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza. “The Prime Minister said there must be immediate steps towards a ceasefire, so that hostages can be released and more humanitarian aid can get in for those in desperate need,” Starmer's office said in a statement. *) Venezuela's Maduro wins re-election with 51.2% of vote: electoral council Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has won re-election to a third six-year term with 51.2 percent of votes cast Sunday, the electoral council announced.

Today, Shireen shares with us the recent court ruling from the case brought to the International Court of Justice by South Africa against Israel. Script: Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Seeking Refuge News. I'm Shireen Kaur, and today we will be discussing the recent court ruling from the International Court of Justice, or the ICJ, regarding the genocidal actions committed by Israel in Palestine. For context, South Africa brought Israel to the ICJ on December 29th, 2023, accusing Israel of intending to commit a genocide against the people of Palestine. In this 84 page document, it was argued that Israel's action in Gaza intended to destroy “a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial, and ethnic group.” This is a direct violation of the 1948 Genocide Convention, says foreignpolicy.com. One of South Africa's lawyers, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, stated, “The intent to destroy Gaza has been nurtured at the highest level of state.” Within this filing, South Africa lists eight actions against Palestinians in Gaza that are genocidal in nature. (Foreignpolicy.com) (1) Killing Palestinians, including children, in large numbers, (2) Causing serious bodily and mental harm to Palestinians, including children, and inflicting on them conditions of life intended to bring about their destruction as a group, (3) Causing mass displacement and expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, alongside the large-scale destruction of homes and residential areas, (4) Depriving Palestinians of access to adequate food and water, (5) Depriving Palestinians of access to adequate medical care, (6) Depriving Palestinians of access to adequate shelter, clothes, hygiene, and sanitation, (7) Causing destruction of life for the Palestinian people, (8) Imposing measures intended to prevent Palestinian births.    Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned South Africa's allegations on Tuesday, calling them “atrocious and preposterous. Israel is expected to argue this on Friday. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has already written, “Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the people of Gaza…it is committed to conducting its operations in accordance with international law … and wishes no harm to Palestinian civilians anywhere.”  On January 26th, however, the ICJ has found it is "plausible" that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention and that they must ensure “with immediate effect” that Israeli forces do not commit any of these acts, according to NPR. Additionally, the court voted 15-2 that Israel must take all measures to stop anything in relation to genocide in Gaza, and voted 16-1 that Israel must prevent and punish those involved with inciting genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza strip. (NPR) Another 16-1 vote ensured the provision of “urgently needed humanitarian aid and basic services.” Israel has now received 30 days to report back on the measures that they have been told to move forward taking. Benjamin Netanyahu does not find this ruling appealing, saying, “LIke every country, Israel has an inherent right to defend itself.” He goes on to reject the ruling, “The vile attempt to deny Israel this fundamental right is blatant discrimination against the Jewish state, and it was justly rejected... We will continue to do what is necessary to defend our country and defend our people." Considering this is the second time a state has ever tried to litigate the charge of genocide to another state (the first time against, Myanmar, who promptly ignored the ruling), there are many uncertainties to how this ruling will be enforced, or if it will be at all.  Considering that the United States is Israel's closest ally, they would likely veto any attempt to impose sanctions at the U.N. Security Council. This, however, could come at the cost of international goodwill and possibly economic sanctions from individual states, according to NBC news. The United States has repeatedly reiterated its stance that the accusations against Israel are unfounded. Washington's own calls for the minimization of civilian harm and increasing humanitarian assistance are consistent with Friday's ruling. NBC further states, “The U.S. recognizes that the court plays a vital role in the peaceful settlement of disputes,” and a State Department spokesperson said, “we will continue to monitor this proceeding as it moves forward.” Of course, the U.S. government's history of support for Israel makes any intervention or “peaceful settlements” unlikely.  Here in the U.S., there are groups combating the governments role in Israel genocide. TIME stated on January 25th that a federal court case has been filed against President Biden and two U.S. cabinet officials for “allegedly being complicit in Israel's genocide against Gazans.” This was filed by Palestinian human rights groups and the nonprofit Center for Constitutional Rights. TIME said, “Defense for Children International-Palestine v. Biden seeks to stop the U.S. from supporting Israel, which plaintiffs say has cost them the lives of family members, and will be heard in Oakland California.

Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin in Washington. That's where a temporary spending bill to avoid a government shutdown this weekend has cleared its first hurdle. Bloomberg's Amy Morris has more from the nation's capital. The Senate voted to advance the measure that will fund some federal agencies through March first and others through March eighth. The interim funding is the support of congressional leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, so the prospects for passage in both chambers are good. Does not include several disputed items like eight for Ukraine restrictions along the US border or an eighty billion dollar business tax package. And there are hard right conservatives in the House who oppose funding agencies at current levels, but Speaker Johnson can bypass them by relying on Democrats for support. In Washington. Amy Moore as Bloomberg Radio. All right, Amy, thanks well. Now to the latest on the race for the White House. It's on to New Hampshire for the Republican candidates, and Bloomberg's at Baxter reports are really starting to heat up. Nicki Haley has been very careful not to directly attack Donald Trump, but one day after Iowa as she's calling him a bully and a liar. Trump lamb based Haley as a disaster. Now this all comes with polling that chowse the two very close. In New Hampshire, Real Clear Politics has Trump by about fourteen points, but the American Research Group even called it dead even at forty four percent, with Ron Desatus at only four percent. Tomorrow's schedule debate has been canceled because Haley declined if Trump wasn't going to be there at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, Okay, and thanks. Now let's turn to the Middle East. Israel and Hamas have reached a deal to deliver medicine and other aid to Gaza. That's according to the government in Kadra, which says this is in exchange for medicine reaching the hostages being held by Hamas. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says there is still a risk this war widens to a regional conflict. We do see a pathway to a shift in the military campaign in Gaza, a reduction in tensions and the exchange of fire along Israel's northern border, a reduction in the risk of escalation in other parts of the region, and we'll have to continue to deal with the Hoothi threat. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke from the World Economic Forum in Davos. Israeli President Isaac Herzog plans to bring the families of hostages to the slopes in Switzerland today to step up pressure for their release. Well, Nathan, back here in the US, we are waiting for a key economic group board as doubt grows on whether the FED will start cutting rates as soon as March, and we get the very latest with the Bloomberg's John Tucker, John and Karen. Retail sales probably increased in December. However, the control group sales, which strip out volatile items, that likely slowed to a more subdue pace. Traders are launching on every piece of data as the FAN enters a blackout period next week. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller threw a little cold water around the idea of FED rate cuts as soon as March. With economic activity and labor markets in good shape, and inflation coming down gradually to two percent, I see no reason to move as quickly or cut as rapidly as in the past. With Wallner's comments, Transury suffered their biggest one day price drop in two months. Yield Seweragetan also drag stocks lower. John Tucker Bloomberg Radio, John thanks, rates are very much in focus overseas that the World Economic Forum. European Central Bank President Christine Legard said the ECB will probably cut rates by the summer. I would say it's likely too, but I have to be reserved because we're also saying that we are data dependent and that there is still a level of uncertainty and some indicators that are not anchored at the level where we would love to see them. ECB President Leaguard made those comments to Francine Lockwha at Bloomberg House in Davos. You can hear their full conversation on the Bloomberg Talks podcast. Well Nathan investors are scaling back their expectations for rake cuts from the Bank of England this year. Inflation in the UK unexpectedly accelerated for the first time in ten months. December's consumer price index was four percent higher than the previous year. On Wall Street, Karen JP Morgan Chase is bucking a trend, the bank plans to hire more workers. We caught up with JP Morgan president Daniel Pinto at Davos. We are employed at the end of the year around three hundred and twenty thousand people. So the number of people that employ has been growing and not ranking. So I think that where we see opportunities and we can have our clients, for sure, we'll focus on that. Daniel Pinto's comments come after JP Morgan closed out the most profitable year in US banking history. Also more banking news this morning, Nathan, the government is unveiling a long awaited rule that could slash the biggest bank's income from overdraft fees by as much as three and a half billion dollars each year. Under the regulation from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, banks would only be able to charge what it costs for them to break even for covering an overdraft or a bu by a specific cap that would effectively eliminate overdraft charges for customers, which right now average about thirty five dollars. Let's turn to some corporate news now. Karen Apple has reached a milestone. The company's dethroned Samsung to become the world's top phone maker in twenty twenty twenty three. IDC estimates the iPhone accounted for a fifth of the global market last year with close to two hundred thirty five million shipments. Apple's dominated recent holiday quarters, but the full year surge is unprecedented, and it suggests Apple is weathering an industry wide slump better than its rivals. And finally, Nathan, it was supposed to be the merger from Heaven, or at least from thirty thousand feet, but now a federal judges block Jet Blues three point eight billion dollar acquisition of Spirit Airlines. The judge says the combination with stifle competition and raise fares for consumers. Jet Blue and Spirit contended that consolidation is the only way smaller airlines can effectively compete with the dominant carriers. Time and not for look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris Amy, Good morning, Good morning, Karen. President Biden is worried about his supplemental bills stalling out in Congress, so he's inviting some of the key players to the White House today. Bloomberg's Nancy lyons with the latest. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre provided a list of those invited to the meeting, and then Biden will host congressional leaders from the Senate and the House, along with key committee leaders and ranking members. She says there's a lot to talk about, but President Biden has one topic he's especially concerned with. This is going to be about discussing critical importance of the President's Facial Security supplemental request. That's the proposal to further fund Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Republicans are refusing to move on that until there's a consensus on a new border policy in Washington. Nancy lyons Bloomberg Radio. Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln says soil should be treated as a precious resource, telling the World Economic Forum in Davos that lack of food is causing unprecedented global migration flows at Russia's war in Ukraine and attacks by who they rebels and the Red Sea have made things worse. A parent who can't put food on the table for their children picks up the family and moves because it's the most basic thing, the most important thing that they can do. Lincoln says, the problem is likely to get worse as climate change threatens to reduce crop yields. Now Climate Envoy John Kerry, also at the World Economic Forum, says he's stepping down from the role within the Biden administration so he can take on a more vocal position for the Biden campaign. He assured other world climate leaders that yes, he'll still be around. I'm going to stay at this and there are so many different ways to continue to be able to be engaged in this. So unfortunately you're stock. You'll see me at the copy you see. Rivia Carrie says regardless of who wins the election, the global climate agenda will remain solid, and the World Health Organization says the number of adult tobacco users is on the decline. The organization says the biggest decrease in tobacco use is seen happening in lower to middle income countries. We have nineteen million less smokers than we had two years ago. That is the first time that we see such a decline. Doctor Rudiger Kresh is urging countries to continue putting control policies in place for tobacco. Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris and this is Bloomberg Karen. All right, Amy, thank you. We do bring you news throughout the day right here on Bloomberg Radio. But now you can get the latest news on demand, and that means whenever you want it. Subscribe to Bloomberg News Now to get the latest headlines of the click of a button. Get informed on your schedule. You can listen and subscribe to Bloomberg News Now on the Bloomberg Business app, Bloomberg dot com plus apples, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update. Here's John stash Hour John Charny Atlanta Falcons, one of seven NFL teams looking for a head coach at indications that the Falcons are looking for a big name to be their new coach. The day after they interviewed Bill Belichick, they interviewed Jim Harbaugh, who previously had already interviewed with the Los Angeles Chargers. So Harbaugh clearly hasn't interest in returning to the NFL and leaving Michigan, where he just won a national championship. Reportedly, Har

is sustainably at two percent medium term and we have the data to you know, support it, I'm not going to shout victory. No, not yet. How much is the inflation reduction thanks to your monetary power and how much of it is like, No, I wouldn't call it luck. I think two factors have played a critical role, and it's the decline in energy prices that we have observed. You know, energy prices pushed prices up massively, and energy prices decline of course has a similar impact. So that's number one. Number two the bottlenecks that we have observed as a result of COVID in particular, and which lasted quite a lot of quite a long time, has gradually faded out, and that also had an impact, you know, more supply, more availability of goods. Second factor. The third factor is monetary policy, and it's undoubtedly been effective, if only to anchor inflation expectations, which we know is really important. So it has had an impact on inflation itself, but it has definitely had an impact on inflation expectations, which by all accounts and all surveys and all measurements have come down and are really now broadly onto that two percent medium term target that we have. I know it's obsessive two percent medium term targets, but yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, but at least it's auld guide the markets, right, I mean, it's good to be upsetsed. Well, if they don't know that that's what we are aiming for, then they need to have the head examined, that's for sure. And then again talk to me a little bit about wage bargaining. So again is that going to be on the upside and could that change you know, the timing of a possible work. Well, I'm glad you mentioned wages in general, wage bargaining in particular, and I'll go to that, but I want to tell you that there are three things that I'm watching carefully. Wage bargainings, profit margins, energy prices, and hopefully not but the coming back of supply bottom Miex. Those are four key components which could have a serious impact on the work that we're doing against inflation. But back to your wage question. Wages have gone up, but relatively slowly, so in prices have gone up earlier and faster than wages, so we are now facing a moment of not only some degree of alignment, but catch up as well. So employees have lost purchasing power in the course of twenty one twenty two, and there is now a catch up effect in the bargaining discussions that are taking place. We will know a lot more, probably in April May, because the numbers the bargaining agreements are being negotiated in the first quarter of every year, and the results come in after the agreements have been closed, so that gives us indication that we can corroborate and verify in the late spring, I would say of of twenty four, that will be a strong indication our wages slowly catching up, and that catch up process will take place over the course of two or three years possibly, or is there a very strong catch up coupled with an alignment with inflation, which would give me concern because while we're not seeing today's second round effect, that could be the result of this sort of twofold process. Are you confident there will be a cut this year in interest rates? Confident? I'm confident that short off another major shock, we have reach reached a peak. Okay, Now we have to stay restrictive for as long as necessary to make sure that we get to that state where we're all saying, okay, confident that it is at two percent medium term. I know some people argue that maybe we are overshooting, maybe we're taking risks. I think the risk would be worse if we went too fast and had to come back to more tightening, because we would have wasted all the efforts that everybody has put in the last fifteen months. The US election, Yeah, let me have some coffee. How arid are you about the US election? It's for the American people to decide what they want with their politics, with their government. With their future. But obviously we are all concerned about it because the United States is the largest economy, the largest defense country in the world, and has been a beacon of democracy with all its upside and downside. But this is what they should be considering, and of course we cannot interfere with their choice. It's their choice and that's the beauty of democracy. But we have to be extremely attentive and anticipate, just as we do with inflation. You know, we do scenarios. What if, what if? Then what do we do? Because that's the real question. And you know where I sit now in Frankfurt, head of the ECB, I think that we have to be strong as Europeans and not assume that we can rely on whoever our friends are around the world, because these things change over the course of time, as we have seen. So what if Donald Trump gets into the White House, what are some of the policies that europe could be put in place to not be cut also between China and the US with Donald Trump and the White House. Well, for one, it has to be strong of its own and if I look at my own shop, because it matters to monetary policy transmission, I think that and you will hear that from others. We have to accelerate capital market union. We need financing in Europe. There is a lot of saving in Europe, and we have to make sure that those savings actually stay here to finance what needs to be financed, which is predominantly the climate transition, which is digitalization, which is enough industrialization conducted with a targeted approach so that we can on the key in the key areas be self sufficient. Are there policies that you would put in place now for Europe to I guess counter the US exceptionalism, which you know could be questioned going forward. I think I would accelerate many of the initiatives that have been taken, and I would encourage European leaders to put aside a little bit they respective idiosyncraty idiosyncratic differences to be more together because you know, it's a question of off size and scale, and Europe is a very large market, has a very sizable population, has capacity to innovate, has financing. It has to you know, be a little bit more cohesive together and forward looking. This is Bloomberg Daybreak today, your morning brief on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. Look for us on your podcast feed at six am Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts. You can also listen live each morning starting at five am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, Bloomberg one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety sixty in San Francisco. Our flagship New York station is also available on your Amazon Alexa devices. Just say Alexa Play Bloomberg eleven thirty plus. Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app, SERIUSXM, the iHeartRadio app, and on Bloomberg dot Com. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Join us again tomorrow morning for all the news you need to start your day right here on Bloomberg Daybreak and beSee

The US says it is working with other members on the text, but it has vetoed previous resolutions. Also on the programme: the European Union agrees new rules on migration; and we'll hear from the developer of an artificial intelligence model that can predict people's life chanceswith astonishing accuracy.(Photo shows smoke rising in the Gaza Strip, as seen from southern Israel on 20 December 2023.

It's Hump Day! Sam and Emma speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss some of the biggest cases before the Supreme Court this term. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Biden Administration's internal reckoning with their strategic failures in support of Israel, the US' minor aid to Gaza and minuscule conditions to punish violent settlers, the House's antisemitic antisemitism bill, Tommy Tuberville relinquishing his obstructive hold on military appointments, the Senate's aid to Ukraine and Israel, the upcoming GOP Debate, and the continuing extreme temperature of 2023, before parsing through the insanity of the House's “anti-zionism is antisemitism” bill, with some help from Jewish Rep. Jerrold Nadler. Ian Milhiser then joins, diving right into an assessment of the impending Supreme Court decision on Moore v. US, a case that will define the possibility of a federal wealth tax as conservatives attempt to tie the taxation of unrealized sums to the apportionment clause in the constitution. After walking through what apportionment, unrealized sums, and “direct taxation” could mean (with some help from Sonya Sotomayor), Milhiser walks Sam and Emma through the newest SCOTUS case involving the “Major Questions Doctrine” – tackling what that doctrine entails, and why the 5th circuit is using it to put the SEC, and the administrative state writ large, in their crosshairs, before working through the 5th Circuit's prominent role working under a conservative Supreme Court, and where Chief Justice Roberts, himself, stands on the doctrine. Wrapping up, they explore the upcoming case against Perdue Pharmaceuticals – as the Sacklers attempt to shirk their liabilities onto the business – and the First Amendment attacks on the BDS movement. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss the official denial of Cenk Uygur's presidential candidacy, watch Dana Bash attempt to throw Rep. Jayapal – and Palestinian victims of sexual assault – under the bus to maintain her narrative, which Ryan Grim refuses to let go unacknowledged. They watch Israeli President Isaac Herzog attempt to defend the mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians under pretexts of Hamas' supposed drive for global domination, and Tim Pool and Matt Walsh really sink into their respective niches of bigotry, plus, your calls and IMs!

From Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the far corners of the globe, Crosstalk brings news items to listeners each Friday to keep you informed. Here's a sample of what was shared this week-----Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel seemingly in part to push for an extension of the Israel-Hamas cease-fire. Since that time, rockets fired by Hamas triggered an end to this week-long pause. Fighting resumed after Israel accused Hamas of violating the truce agreement. After Hamas began firing rockets into southern Israel, the Israel Defense Forces resumed bombing in Gaza City. ----According to an Iranian official, Hamas has only used 10-12- of its military arsenal so far in the war against Israel.----Roni Kriboy managed to escape from terrorists who held him hostage in the Gaza Strip, but ordinary Gazans returned him to his captors.----Hamas terrorists kidnapped children and were trained to create a specific sign on their bodies. They would put one of the legs of the child on a hot motorcycle exhaust creating a -brand- on their bodies. This mark would help identify them if they attempted to escape. ----Israeli President Isaac Herzog told -X- owner Elon Musk that his platform needed to do more to fight and combat anti-Jewish hate as Musk visited Israel on a goodwill visit.----Tuesday evening the House voted to reaffirm Israel's right to exist.----Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer -who is Jewish- ripped the political left in a speech from the Senate floor Wednesday over its overt antisemitism in the days following the October 7th attack. Jim provided audio from the speech.

NFI ATT.-HomeFront-USA: Lake City Ammunition plant to halt all commercial ammo sales in response to “overseas events” which will result in higher demand via military contracts. Explosion at Hornady plant in Grand Island, Nebraska kills one worker and injures several. -Analyst Comments-Information warfare continues to be a persistent threat, especially within the combat zone. Israeli officials continue to order a southern evacuation route from Gaza using the Beach Road and Salah Eddine Road, while also conducting airstrikes on these roads. Consequently, Hamas militants use these strikes to push the narrative that the IDF will strike any fleeing civilians, and staying put is the better option. As always, the truth is likely in the grey area between these two positions. Israel has been observed to target civilians, hospitals, and humanitarian activities with little regard for Civilian Casualties (CIVCAS). Many UN employees and international aid workers have been killed in these strikes. On the other hand, HAMAS has a long history of using civilian locations and structures for military purposes, further blurring the lines between civilians and militants.Public statements by diplomats are more clear. Israeli President Isaac Herzog has outlined the Israeli position strongly indicating that Israel considers Palestine and HAMAS to be one and the same. This strongly indicates Israel's intention to remove the entirety of Palestine from Gaza.As the ground invasion seems imminent, we must remember the political complications of the region which inhibit accurate information reporting. There is no land on Earth more politically charged than this region, even simple road maps are highly controversial. Over the past few decades, Israeli settlements have encroached into terrain that the international community generally recognizes as Gaza. As such, Israeli tanks are both on the border of Gaza, and already inside Gaza, depending on diplomatic perspective. This creates challenges as to where combat actions are taking place, as both sides usually refer to the same location with two different names.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst: S2AEND REPORTNNNN

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Jayapal is the latest to denounce the Jewish state when she called for a boycott of a speech to Congress given by Israeli President Isaac Herzog. This was done after the congresswoman called Israel racist. In the past, Congress would have censored Jayapal, but instead, they danced around her comments and...

Ralph spends the whole hour with Jennifer Vanderbes, author of “Wonder Drug: The Secret History Of Thalidomide In America And Its Hidden Victims.” Thalidomide was never “commercially available” in the U.S., but American doctors handed out samples to patients even though no one could prove the drug was safe. Or could definitively say what the drug did. And by the time thalidomide landed at the FDA for approval, whistleblowers, journalists, doctors, and patients in Germany, Australia, and the UK were sounding the alarm about its shocking side effects.Jennifer Vanderbes is an award-winning novelist, journalist and screenwriter. Her latest book is Wonder Drug: The Secret History Of Thalidomide In America And Its Hidden Victims.It did not shock me researching this story that the pharmaceutical firms operated with a focus on profit, and that allowed for cutting corners. What really did shock me in my research was realizing that the doctors uniformly gaslit these patients. And it was stunning to me that you didn't have any of these physicians who had given the drug to pregnant women who realized.Jennifer VanderbesI was very surprised to be looking through materials that were so at odds with what had been reported. And in many ways this became, to me, a story about what can happen when the media accepts at face value a certain spin on the story. The FDA was very dependent initially on what the drug firms were telling it, and then the press was depending on what the FDA was telling it, and then everybody sort of moved on. It was also a happy story that people wanted to believe: “we were the one wonderful country that had stopped this drug.“Jennifer VanderbesTheir number one tactic is to just not even argue the merits of [thalidomide cases], but get them dismissed on the basis that, “All these people should have known.” And I would say six years of my life—and this book— is really an examination of how incredibly reasonable and understandable it is that these individuals did not know. They were not given the information, and the government was quite complicit.Jennifer VanderbesThe best investigative reporters in America didn't uncover this story, until [Jennifer Vanderbes] put it together in a book. Because it took unbelievable energy, curiosity, travel, interviewing the survivors, going to their homes, and the most recent development— which was really incredible that it didn't get national TV and radio coverage— was the gathering, for the first time, of thalidomide victims in San Diego.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. On July 25th, The Teamsters reported that UPS caved to their demands, narrowly avoiding a massive strike. The wins in the new contract include higher wages, more jobs, ending the two-tier wage system, air conditioning in UPS trucks, part-time Rewards, and drivers getting Martin Luther King Day off. The union has triumphantly declared “We've Changed the Game” If these negotiations had fallen through, 340,000 UPS Teamsters would have gone on strike. Other employers, such as the Hollywood AMPTP, should take notes.2. The Intercept reports that the Sanders-led Senate HELP Committee has passed an amendment to the  Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act allocating $3 million to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to explore new options to pay for developing pharmaceuticals, specifically through public funding or “innovation prizes.” These drugs would then enter the public domain so they could be sold as generic medications. Sanders has made the cost of prescription drugs a high priority during his chairmanship on the committee, and hopefully this effort will bear fruit.3. Following months of protest, CNN reports that Israel has rammed through their controversial judicial reform legislation. This law will limit the independence of the Israeli judiciary, which has been a bulwark against the most extreme Right-wing factions in the country. This measure has sparked a new round of scrutiny regarding the $3.8 billion in military aid the US provides to Israel annually.4. Progressive Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has requested $15 million for a plan to help decarbonize 200 to 350 homes by modernizing heating and insulation for low-income Chicagoans, Gregory Pratt of the Tribune reports. One hopes to see more progressives pushing for these localized and tailored climate change plans.5. Anchor Brewing, a San Francisco institution, has been on a roller-coaster for several years. The workers organized the plant, then it was sold to Sapporo, and now Sapporo is attempting to sell the company for parts. In response, the union is attempting to raise funds to purchase Anchor Brewing and run it as a worker-owned cooperative. More information is available at Vinepair.com.6. In other alcohol related news, the American Prospect reports that Total Wine, the company founded by Rep. David Trone of Maryland – who is currently seeking the open Senate seat in that state – is fighting an FTC antitrust investigation. The agency is investigating the chain for “price discrimination and exclusive dealing arrangements in alcohol markets as part of a broader crackdown that's also charging Pepsi and Coke for similar anti-competitive conduct.” Total Wine has reportedly sought to impede this investigation at every turn, and have succeeded in slowing it down even as the Biden administration seeks to crack down on anti-competitive behavior. It remains to be seen whether this will become an issue in the Senate campaign.7. Following Rep. Jamaal Bowman's boycott of Israeli President Isaac Herzog's address to Congress, Jewish Insider reports that  AIPAC – among the most powerful Washington lobbies – is pushing for Westchester County executive George Latimer to run a primary challenge against Bowman. Historically, AIPAC has been instrumental in keeping progressive voices, and their criticism of Israel, out of the halls of Congress.8. The German news service DW reports that Ukraine has imposed a “ban on Russian-language culture…such as books, music, plays and concerts.” Whatever one's opinions are on the war in Ukraine, this ban approaches dangerous territory of limiting expression for minority groups in the country and could presage more militarized crackdowns on the Russian minority in Ukraine similar to Japanese-Americans during WWII. All parties must come to the table to negotiate an immediate ceasefire and engage in high-level diplomacy; only that can prevent this war spinning into graver and graver circumstances.9. Finally, on July 20th a super-majority of workers at Grindr, the LGBTQ dating app, voted to unionize with the Communications Workers of America, per Kim Kelly. This came as a response, in part, to revelations showing Grindr's new CEO had previously voiced support for anti-LGBTQ politicians on Twitter and via political donations.

On Tuesday, the Senate voted to begin considering the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorizes the Department of Defense's annual budget and expenditures. While the bill usually gains widespread bipartisan support, the House's version of the bill faces opposition due to the controversial social issues it addresses. Meanwhile, the House and Senate are hoping that several bipartisan declassification bills related to unidentified anomalous phenomena will provide more transparency surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, country music star Jason Aldean is under fire for releasing his song "Try That In A Small Town," which the left claims have pro-lynching undertones. If you actually listen to the lyrics of the song and watch the music video, that couldn't be further from the truth. All Aldean is doing is promoting small town values that have been completely abandoned by municipalities across the country. Aldean has not backed down and is standing by his song, as he should. We here on the morning show are behind Aldean and his message.

Many Democrats hate Israel. And they are not shy about it. The latest disgusting example is House Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who publicly called Israel a "racist state." Jayapal and many other Democrats are also boycotting Wednesday's speech from Israeli President Isaac Herzog to a joint session of Congress.But it's not just demonization of Israeli policies or Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Many prominent leftists also advocate for the Boycott, Divest, & Sanctions (BDS) movement to cripple Israel's economy and openly accuse Israel of engaging in apartheid against the Palestinians.Stop Anti-Semitism Founder Liora Rez joins Sara to explain why this type of hateful rhetoric and the pursuit of anti-Semitic policies destabilize American society and the world. She also explains how Jayapal and figures like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and AOC consider themselves "Justice Democrats, " but their goals don't resemble justice at all. Rez also strongly rejects Jayapal's assertion that any criticism of her is rooted in hatred of women and people of color.
