Lindsey Graham tributes from Israel and Ukraine point to complicated, often bloody legacy
Narrative Analysis: Name Calling
It was revealing that one of the first tributes to Lindsey Graham, a US senator who died on Saturday aged 71, came from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, a far-right provocateur who recently caused widespread anger by sharing footage of himself taunting bound activists who had been trying to sail to Gaza with aid.

"Disgraceful": Rashid Khalidi Slams Israeli Attacks on Journalists, Detention of Rep. Ro Khanna
Armed Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have carried out a number of attacks in recent days targeting local Palestinians and foreign journalists, as well as detaining U.S. Congressmember Ro Khanna during a fact-finding trip. Khanna said that when Israeli forces arrived, they sided with the settlers. “The U.S. government just merrily goes along funding these atrocities against American citizens, not to speak of atrocities against Palestinians who don’t happen to be American citizens,” says Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said professor emeritus of modern Arab studies at Columbia University. “All of this is being done with our tax dollars.”

‘Greater Israel doctrine has been the cause of wars in Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran’
TEHRAN – Two senior scholars believe that the absurd and dangerous doctrine of “Greater Israel” has been the cause of wars in Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Jeffrey Sachs, a globally famous Columbia University professor, and Sybil Fares, a senior advisor on government affairs, say this doctrine is backed by secular hardliners like Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish supremacist creed of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir that “God gave the land (Palestine and neighboring Arab lands) to the Jews alone.”
