What America Kept Quiet About Israel in Gaza

https://www.theteanetwork.co

How much did the Americans know about what Israel was doing in Gaza — and why did the weapons keep flowing?

As evidence of atrocities mounted, the US kept arming Israel. Warnings were ignored, officials resigned, and Biden’s “red lines” were crossed again and again without consequences. So what was really happening behind closed doors — and who was calling the shots? This week on The Tea, we’re joined by award-winning diplomatic correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed, whose explosive new book, Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisors, and Israel’s War in Gaza, draws on accounts from more than 150 Washington officials to expose the inner workings of Biden’s White House as Israel’s genocide in Gaza unfolded - and why warnings went unheeded. Also in the show: ⚡ Has October 7 achieved its goal? ⚡ Behind Biden’s “red line”: “Just get Israel what they want” ⚡ Disinformation, careerism and complicity ⚡ Hostages: how America wrote off its own nationals ⚡ Pro-Palestinian protests: why were Holocaust survivors dismissed as Hamas supporters? ⚡ The dehumanisation of Palestinians: “They’ll get over this one too” ⚡ No accountability: the enduring legacy of the War on Terror

As the US heads towards another midterm election, we ask: have the ripples of the genocide forever changed American politics?
