Biden is failing to “prevent an unfolding genocide”

A group of Palestinians have filed a federal lawsuit accusing President Joe Biden of failing to “prevent an unfolding genocide.”

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is quietly expanding a secret U.S. military base in Israel — ahead of a planned $14.3 billion in additional U.S. aid.

You won’t read much about these developments in most corporate-owned outlets — or hear them meaningfully debated on Capitol Hill, where the most recent pro-Israel resolution passed on a 412-10 vote.

The Intercept’s independent coverage of the Gaza war is a desperately needed antidote to this bipartisan lockstep. But our nonprofit newsroom depends on reader support – and with Giving Tuesday just around the corner, we’re racing to meet a $350,000 fundraising goal.

Don’t let dissent get drowned out. Ahead of this Giving Tuesday, will you stand with The Intercept?

Over 13,000 people in Gaza have died since the beginning of Israel's assault in October. Hospitals, ambulance convoys, schools, and refugee camps have been bombed. The health sector in Gaza is on the verge of total collapse. The U.N. secretary-general describes Gaza as a “graveyard for children.”

But Biden continues to support a massive increase in military aid to Israel while keeping these weapons transfers shrouded in secrecy. Arms control experts tell The Intercept the administration’s likely aim is to prevent U.S. weapons from being linked to civilian casualties.

The Intercept is committed to exposing the brutality of Israel’s scorched-earth campaign in Gaza and the U.S. support that makes this violence possible.

This Giving Tuesday, will you donate $5 to support The Intercept and our reporting on the war in Gaza?
