Why is Israel demolishing towns and refugee camps in the West Bank? The IDF’s war with Hamas is in Gaza but violence against Palestinians has ramped up in the West Bank too. This week, the IDF notified Palestinians of their intent to demolish another refugee camp due to its “clear and necessary operational need.” This is the latest in a string of demolitions. The IDF says that it is to “preserve its freedom of operation.” Does that mean “take over”? Because I’m pretty sure the Trump administration told them that they had better not take over the West Bank. It looks to me like they’re doing it anyway. And violently. New video shows a Palestinian teenager in the West Bank gunned down by Israeli settlers. He had been at the funeral of another Palestinian teenager who also was shot by the IDF. The IDF says that he had been rioting by throwing rocks but, as usual, the incident is “under investigation.” These are unarmed teenagers targeted by a military because of who they are. If we are horrified that the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre were targeted for their identity, we should spare equal outrage for this as well, no? It appears Israel wants to carry out these actions with minimal scrutiny. On Tuesday, a delegation of Canadian politicians attempted to enter the West Bank, but Israel denied them entry, claiming they posed a threat to public safety.

President Trump escalated rhetoric and military pressure on Venezuela this week, touting a blockade on oil tankers and accusing the country of threatening U.S. interests. If you’re tired of this, you should know that on Thursday, the House of Representatives will vote on a War Powers Resolution which would “direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.” Meaning: Knock it off in Venezuela. This has nothing to do with a drug war, nothing to do with U.S. security, and everything to do with regime change and resource control. No one voted for this. Congress never authorized it. This is a bipartisan bill introduced by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) which has received 31 co-sponsors, including three Republicans: Reps. Thomas Massie (KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Don Bacon (NE). If you understand that the bombing raids in Venezuela are not about the drug war in the U.S., you should call your House representative and demand that they vote in favor of this. Will the Trump administration, which promised no new wars, be bound by this? Technically, yes but presidents have historically tried to evade War Powers resolutions by redefining or rebranding military missions. The Trump administration could attempt the same. Whether that works would depend entirely on whether Congress is willing to enforce its own authority. The post Will Congress Finally Reclaim Its War Powers? appeared first on Redacted.
