Big truths that RFK Jr ignores in his eagerness to support Israel
Longtime journalist Chris Hedges offers a partial inventory of Israel’s documented human rights abuses of Palestinians – massive abuses that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. chooses to ignore: the crimes of apartheid, and the targeting and torturing of civilians, to name a few.

The many forms of mistreatment require a lengthy article. IAK has broken it into four manageable parts which we will release over the next several days.
