I believe that most people in the history of civilization have not personally experienced individuals who possess the fortitude, conviction, depth of knowledge, determination, integrity, respect for the United States and other countries on planet Earth -- with all its life forms -- that RFK Jr. epitomizes. I believe that Bobby's presence has already changed and will continue to change the course of history during this Biblical moment (for which, it appears, he was born). Bobby, my day would not be complete without feeling your presence in leading us; and it will be an honor to vote for you to be President of the United States of America!!
It has become so clear during this campaign that people are so jaded and cynical by the past few decades of leadership, that it's difficult recognizing a person, with a life of service, intelligence, honesty, integrity, openness, accomplishment and compassion. As I research RFK by reading his books, listening to his podcast, watching his videos and exploring the Children’s Health Defense, I can only say my faith in him grows. He is an exemplary example of someone who has survived and healed deep trauma, served Americans through his work, extended that work internationally, and has fathered 7 children who love and respect him. I feel blessed and ready for RFK to take the helm. Who better than a Riverkeeper.
I believe Bobby Kennedy would be a blessing for America and for the world in general as his deeply held convictions on putting a stop to the usually U.S. instigated or inspired never ending wars once and for all is the intelligent way forward. Wars only benefit the US war machine - US military aid flows from Washington directly to the coffers of U.S. arms manufacturers and some to corrupt puppet foreign leaders as kickbacks. Bobby’s defence of health and exposing the corrupt medical/pharmaceutical/government cabal is heroic. I profoundly admire him for his stance on all these issues and others. I do not agree with his views on the Gaza/Israeli conflict but that does not counterweigh my belief that his presidency would be a blessing.
I want so much to be enthusiastic about his candidacy, but his views on Israel/Gaza and the Middle East in general are so disturbing and have made it difficult to support him.
While I too fervently disagree on his stance on the Israel/Gaza conflict, as so many of us do...Even as I have heard and understand how he has come to his position...His positions on every other issue speak to deeply to me to disown him. There are no other better options...Not even close! We can only hope that he can expand his view beyond his current reasoning, and recognize that this is now only about the deaths of far too many, and most especially the children who have been maimed, orphaned, lost their future to this utterly despicable and horrific assault on innocent human beings. It makes no sense to me at all, that he is holding onto his support of Israel, even as many Jews and other in the US and around the world no longer support Israel in the war.
I think that the stance taken by the DNC against him with accusations of anti-semitism and even the ridiculous assertion that Bobby is fascist leaning (see Daily Kos for one obvious example), have pushed Kennedy further off center in regards to Israel than he might have been.
IDK. I was patient for awhile however to not speak about the death and destruction which keeps occurring at this point untenable. Kennedy calling Palestinians “pampered” is wacko. His understanding of the history is WAY off re the Semites.
Frankly, seeing him wave a flag for another country was disgusting theater & unAmerican
Hamas has been pampered. They receive money from other countries in aid, more than was given to europe after WWII, and it goes into the pockets of their billionaire leaders who don't even live in Palestine. Could you imagine our president living in Switzerland?
Can I ask who you support that has any chance of winning in 2024? Every day I read comments like yours and wonder, how much does this person really know about Bobby?! In the past 4 decades he has showed he truly cares about our environment and that’s the most important thing to me! He sued the FCC and Monsanto and won both cases. Do you take that into account at all?! Hopefully in the next 10 months you’ll come to realize this man is what Americans need. What the world needs!! Peace. #kennedy24
What if he took the side of Hamas?That’s who is ruling Gaza. What happens to the hostages? Does The ceasefire really end? He can’t request a ceasefire, he wasn’t given the chance to speak without interruption in a YouTube video( by an unprofessional reporter with an agenda). It’s not debatable both sides are wrong and until an individual studies the history (before Moses) and I have tried , you can see it’s not a conflict America can solve. RFK wants to guide it in the right direction. No other candidate has the skills to do that. You can say you want peace, it doesn’t mean you can create it.
MARTYRMIND PODCAST 20 hours plus on the history of Israel/ Palestine.
The issue at the moment is the genocide of a people by an apartheid state that has stated clearly its goal is to wipe out every person in its way; while stating it doesn't believe the Palestinians have a right to its own state. RFK Jr has made comments that are historically inaccurate & betray an ignorance that is disturbing. He's been challenged to debate by Max Blumenthal, who has taken apart each of his points; and while he initially agreed, he has gone quiet. Why the reluctance to defend his position? Even some of his advisors have expressed concern over his position. And beyond the Gaza situation, his comments on geopolitics in general sound like a standard neocon & not like a candidate of peace. Once Dennis Kucinich left the campaign without comment - replaced by his neophyte ex-CIA daughter-in-law- I knew the campaign was in trouble.
If the issue is genocide, then maybe you should be putting your efforts towards the people who support Biden and Netanyahu.
What comments has RFK made that are inaccurate? I have listened to unbiased historians, journalists on both sides, and Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of an Hamas founder, (he states many of the things RFK has said, against Hamas and in defense of the Palestinian people).
If I were RFK there's no way I would "debate" with an emotional ideologue like Max Blumenthal. RFK had him on his podcast prior to his candidacy. He knows his father.
Not all of his advisors will agree with him 100%, and thank goodness. The pandemic wouldn't have been so devastating if he were president at the time.
He is not a neoconservative by any stretch of the imagination, or definition.
BTW his "neophyte ex-CIA daughter-in-law" is running an exemplary campaign and is respected in many circles. I find her to be brilliant (not everyone gets into Oxford). Have you read her book?
The REAL issue here is I have an opinion, and you want to change and/or argue my opinion. That equals conflict, conflict leads to war, no? I accept your right to vote for whomever you choose. Peace.
Watch his appearance on Jimmy Dore's show & Max Blumenthal's subsequent rebuttal. I'm not going to write it all here. It's easily accessible. The Grayzone has also done several videos rebutting his statements. What also troubles me is that he also advocated for censorship on college campuses if views expressed were in any way critical of Israel. Pretty ironic. And he has taken donations from rich donors - Grayzone & Whitney Webb (who has been interviewed by RFK) have outlined these donations. Too many troubling comments & positions to ignore, at least for me. After being let down by Bernie Sanders, who I supported with time & money, I no longer give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
I have watched Jimmy Dore, Krystal Ball, Kim Iverson, etc. etc. it was all very unprofessional in my opinion. They are pushing their own agenda. Everyone deserves an opinion and especially RFK, without being interrupted and attacked by an emotionally triggered group of people. It is not our war, neither side is fully right or fully wrong. Read an unbiased history book on the middle east, listen to 20 hours of ME history on MARTYRMADE Podcast (not a YouTube video by another biased reporter).
He took money from donors? He's paying millions just to get on the ballot! IThe Dems and Reps pay nothing. I wish I could give him all the money he needs to get in office, and eliminate the corruption of our government.
If it's so troubling then why are you still following him? Respectfully, I guess you didn't read the end of my comment. I choose my candidate in clear conscience and with peace. And my faith in him has only grown with time, RFK 2024!
I guess we should just allow terrorist to control the world.
Israel does not want to kill the innocent Palestinians, they want to get Hamas.
Stop distorting Bobby's stance. Where are the Arab nations? Are they taking in the Palestinians or helping these people.....no they are funding terrorist organizations.
Why doesn't Israel have the right to defend their people who were viciously attached by the Hamas....this is a super sick world....no idea why they can't learn to live in peace with each other.
Kennedy's Zionism is baffling. He doesn't get it from his father or Uncle Jack, whom he professes to mirror politically. No one could call the brothers John and Robert Kennedy Zionists. They opposed Israel on crucial issues of nuclear proliferation, Palestinians' right of return, registration of the Israel lobby as a foreign agent, and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
I can't imagine John or Robert Kennedy would be apologists for Israel at a time like this, when Israel is charged—credibly charged!—with genocide. Ben-Gurion must be turning in his grave. You're not helping Israel by encouraging it to wreak genocide.
Maybe it will get so bad that the only hope for Israel is to renounce Zionism and become at last the light unto the nations it purports to be, with everyone living in peace between the river and the sea. We can only hope.
P.S. My hopes aren't bolstered by Ms Fox's quoting from Old Testament Esther, the crypto-Jewish Queen of Persia who finagled the pre-emptive murder of 75,000 people who threatened the Jews.
He is not a Zionist! If he had the power he would do everything possible to stop the war(s), and negotiate some form of peaceful reconciliation. He would certainly do far more than the current "options"who are supporting the military industrial complex, that is is the real perpetratorsof all the wars.
While I too can see the reason you speak of, he seems to me to sincerely believe in the stance he has taken. HIs background understanding, while solid, cannot begin to legitimize his continued support of Israel any longer. I did recently hear him speak about this ia away that leaned toward some form of resolution. Wish I could find him speaking this. It has become impossible to keep up with all of his little videos!
It is very difficult to know what is really going on with the Israel/Gaza situation. We know absolutely 100% certain that the media lies to us on a constant basis. Whether it is the economy, vaccines, wars in the Gulf, election interference, etc.etc. etc., we cannot sit in our comfortable homes and pass judgment when it is impossible to know all of the facts. We do not have bombs raining down on us or our children being brutally abducted and held captive. I can understand Bobby maintaining his support for an ally that we have had a long history of supporting given the totality of the circumstances, but there needs to be more effort to know what is really going on and that version of events cannot come from the mainstream media.
So true. Bottomline however, is that it is imperative, with no excuses whatsoever, that at the very least a ceasefire and end to the inexcusable death, loss and suffering NOW!
Romeo Keyes nailed it right here: ‘No other candidate goes into the ghetto or talks to the Native people.’
I believe that most people in the history of civilization have not personally experienced individuals who possess the fortitude, conviction, depth of knowledge, determination, integrity, respect for the United States and other countries on planet Earth -- with all its life forms -- that RFK Jr. epitomizes. I believe that Bobby's presence has already changed and will continue to change the course of history during this Biblical moment (for which, it appears, he was born). Bobby, my day would not be complete without feeling your presence in leading us; and it will be an honor to vote for you to be President of the United States of America!!
Great write up!
Congratulations!! Happy birthday, Mr. Kennedy!
It has become so clear during this campaign that people are so jaded and cynical by the past few decades of leadership, that it's difficult recognizing a person, with a life of service, intelligence, honesty, integrity, openness, accomplishment and compassion. As I research RFK by reading his books, listening to his podcast, watching his videos and exploring the Children’s Health Defense, I can only say my faith in him grows.

Seems like politics in general reaps immense profits for most.
I hear you. I don't know either. It seems so far off base with everything else he stands for.
