A flurry of actions have been undertaken recently to benefit Israel, to assist Donald Trump’s electoral prospects, and, if Trump is defeated, to procure the policies before a potentially slightly less pro-Israel candidate takes office…
Green candidate Howie Hawkins and Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen are also on the ballot – and unlike Trump and Biden, they and their running mates appear to be remarkably independent of the Israel lobby… See their statements on Palestine-Israel here…
Jewish Federations of North America and the Jewish Future Pledge are partnering on a project calling on all Jews to bequeath fifty percent of their estate charitable giving “to support Jewish people or the State of Israel.” Organizers predict this would amount to $600 billion in the coming years. The project’s promotional video states: “Jews are the most influential people the world has ever known…”
The average American often knows extremely little about Zionism, even though the Zionist movement has played a major role in the world – and in the U.S. itself – for a century… Some have the impression that ‘world zionism’ is an antisemitic conspiracy theory… even while the World Zionist Congress is in session, with 720 delegates from over 30 countries… And the WZC is just one of many international Zionist entities that work for Israel…
The Forward has just published an article saying that Joe Biden’s long loyalty to a foreign country is a reason to vote for him. The article is entitled “38 billion reasons to vote for Joe Biden.” The title refers to the $38 billion aid package to Israel, which works out to $7,000 per minute from American taxpayers and is approximately $23,000 per each Israeli family of four…
Ruth Bader Ginsburg commanded immense respect, adulation, and influence. She spoke out against racism and discrimination, and has been called ‘a revolutionary.’ Some have written: ‘Even to the end of her life, she remained committed to our mantra: none are free, until all are free…’ Progressive groups are sending out emails about continuing ‘her legacy’ of ‘fighting for justice.’ Imagine the impact she could have had if she’d included Palestinians in her concerns, and spoken out against Israeli violence and apartheid, instead of remaining silent and endorsing Israel…
The American Jewish Committee, the World Jewish Congress, and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations worked for 25 years to procure the agreements. UAE and Bahrain had previously refused to have diplomatic relations with Israel because of Israel’s massive ethnic cleansing against the indigenous population. Jared Kushner and Haim Saban also had key roles in the deal.
Documents obtained from the Israeli government show U.S. pro-Israel organizations secretly used Israeli money to influence US policies. Such behavior is illegal under US law. Yet, mainstream US media so far are ignoring the information, and Congress shows no interest in investigating this evidence of foreign tampering. A bipartisan Congressional caucus with 80 members is connected to one of the groups…
Israel has been illegally manipulating US policies – and some US organizations and politicians have been helping them, in violation of US laws… Will the government go after them and censure Israel, the way it did the claims of ‘Russian interference’? Or will Israel and its collaborators once again escape consequences?
Palestinian media have posted a video reportedly showing Israeli soldiers beating Palestinian workers on their way to work in Israel earlier this week. According to a 21-year-old victim, the video only shows a little of the beating, which went on for an hour.
