THREAD: The US support to Israel, summed up in the "Israel has the right to defend itself" statements by US officials, faces heavy scrutiny after #SaveSheikhJarrah & #GazaUnderAttack

Here are a few pieces by our analysts exposing US complicity in violating Palestinian rights:

In this podcast episode just after Biden's election win, Al-Shabaka's @alaatartir warned of the new president's track record of support toward Israel (he's a self-proclaimed Zionist) & his promotion of the antiquated process of "economic peace" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bid…

As the US presidential election campaign was in full swing last year, our analyst @HalahAhmad argued that "Democratic candidates’ views on Palestine and human rights often reflect an inconsistency in their commitment to tackling inequality and racism" al-shabaka.org/commentaries/t…

In 2020 Donald Trump's "deal of the century" further legitimized the Israeli colonial project.

Here, Al-Shabaka analysts discussed the ramifications of the deal where they live & outlined what steps are being taken – or should be taken – to counter them al-shabaka.org/roundtables/tr…

In this 2020 policy memo, @yarahawari presented a few ways in which Palestinians can use Trump's rather more candid “vision” to break free of the political frameworks that have limited their rights & freedoms for so long al-shabaka.org/memos/using-tr…

In this commentary, Osamah Khalil used the 2018 midterm elections as an opportunity to discuss the implications of dark money from pro-Israel mega-donors, to both the Republican & Democratic parties, on the US harmful policy towards Palestinians bit.ly/3f4bekK

Last but not least in this evergreen piece, Osamah Khalil laid bare, as early as 2010, the real face of US role in Israel/Palestine over the years as he took a closer reading of the historical record & declassified US archival documents al-shabaka.org/briefs/myth-am…
