We all know the US elite holds indigenous Palestinians in contempt for getting in the way of the Zionist project, but how about indigenous Americans in Lahaina, Hawaii?

US political elites have demonstrated far more outrage and sadness over the killing of Israelis on October 7 - including soldiers on their occupation bases - then they did about the deaths of hundreds of American citizens this August during the hideously mismanaged response to the Lahaina fires.

Joe Biden was reluctant to cut short his Rehoboth Beach vacation to visit the charred ruins of Lahaina. But now he's storming off to a foreign apartheid state 5900 miles away to perform solidarity as it intensifies its demented massacre of civilians in Gaza. Priorities.
