The Dems and Repubs will continue the awful status quo. We need an independent to unravel all of that. See https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-gops-60-year-authoritarian-plot-76f

Wonder what Kucinich's replacement, new campaign manager, former CIA employee, daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy would say? Out with the old, on with the new? Genocide by Zionists simply needs U.S. support.

The ratio of civilian vs fighter during war is better in Israel than any other country and that is fighting an adversary which embeds among the civilians. Israel was viciously attacked. You really didn't expect a reaction?

I particularly love RFK Jr because I think he understands the current issues but he also supports Israel and won't shy away from it. If you back him but are unsure about the Israel vs Arab conflict listen to what he has to say. If you think he's wise on other subjects perhaps he's wise on this one too.

I was backing him very fervently until Netanyahu's campaign to slaughter the Palestinians. He is wise on other subjects and completely misled and horrifiingly blind on this!

Maybe you're wrong. Israel was barbarically attacked on May 7 and has a perfect right to retaliate. Perhaps listen to Bobby.

?? May 7?

Israel allowed the attack, and also bombed parts of Israel at the same time. There is no such thing as a perfect right, or a reason to retaliate with the war crimes of bombing civilians.

As with any country, "the people" is not the same thing as "the government officials". The people can put a government into place, but has little control over it once it is there. And the people of another country (like RFK Jr.) have even less influence over the government of that other country.

I can see how someone can support the idea of another country without agreeing with its current government officials.

You clearly do not know much about Israel probably nor about Judaism or Jewish history but bottom line, not everything is a conspiracy. I too found myself getting caught up in the idea that nothing is true, nothing is real, but I was wrong. What we really have to do is search for facts and what you are asserting has no basis in fact. Israel did not bomb its own people and you have zero proof for that allegation. Not only did Israeli forensics experts examine the bodies but international experts came in and of course there's all the footage made by hamas as they were killing, raping, putting a baby in an oven, etc. There's no doubt about that. Let's talk facts not propaganda picked up from Israel haters.

I never claimed to know much about Israel or history or conspiracy. I simply repeated a story that I found rang true, from a very thorough researcher: James Corbett. See https://www.corbettreport.com/nwnw533/ for the video, but be sure to click each of the dozen links below the video for the sources of his claims.

I don't think reading a bunch of left-wing websites is educating yourself (although there are a few links that are not leftist). Perhaps reading some books on Middle East history written by respected historians on both sides of the issue would be helpful.

What about Israel?

Mr. Kennedy is America’s last hope. There has been a movement of late to energize traditionalists, of which I count Mr. Kennedy, to enter local politics. That is wonderful, but real national change will not come from local politics. Healing the divide in this nation is a goal which must come from a national conversation and initiative. Scaling back our national security state must be a top down endeavor. Ending the corrupt merger of state and corporate power must be a national priority. We can improve our governance systems locally by finding patriots willing to serve at the local and state level, but the big changes we need necessarily require a national level effort. We desperately need Mr. Kennedy as president to restore our nation to a place and time in our past where we could disagree without being disagreeable, we could all agree on certain fundamentals, we could all recognize pornography when we saw it, we could all trust our government to tell us the truth, and we could all have hope that our future would be better than our past.

I am a lifelong Democrat but am appalled at what I have seen coming out of the Biden administration. I believe RFJ Jr is our only hope to restore sanity, and I hope I have the opportunity to vote for him.

He could receive the majority of the votes in the Election, if he can get more baby boomers in support of his campaign. Following are a couple suggestions. 1. Express greater empathy for the innocent people in Gaza, as well for those innocent victims in Israel. Become a peace leader in that region. 2. Come to Greenfield, MA for a town full of baby boomers for a town hall meeting. Join me after the event for an interview at Greenfield Community Television. I believe going to where people were traumatized and misled during the COVID days, sharing what is true, will help those folks appreciate his whole life. FlybyNews.com has endorsed the campaign, and has been an independent news service since the 1999 NASA “flyby” of Earth for peace in space. https://flybynews.wordpress.com/2023/12/14/write-to-rfk-jr-in-support-of-the-potus-campaign/

I watched a video today where Kennedy is denying what all of us with eyes can see, Israel massacring thousands of civilians, almost half being children, in Gaza. Kennedy says there’s no evidence this is happening. Children’s Health Defense my ass. One common denominator in Kennedy supporters—devout allegiance to Zionist Israel and its control of US foreign policy which is imperialist, colonial, exploitative and extractive.

The numbers are given by Hamas so not very reliable. They count their terrorists as civilian deaths. Israel is being sacrificed by the great reset just for people like you

Kennedy supporters Care about America! It’s sad what is happening in Gaza but we need help at home! He has to bend to the Jewish lobby to get elected unfortunately!

Expand full comment

He is not bending to anybody let alone Jewish lobby! They mostly support Biden! And I agree, most Americans don't have a clue what goes on Internationally so maybe they should not get involved (like BLM which fully supports Hamas).

Expand full comment

Agree 110%! Bobby is the only one who is talking about building up the middle class. These people who are all talking Gaza should really look it the Biden admin who suck up to Israel big time! Yes BLM and the woke ppl support hamas!! Some of the podcasts onyoutube are anti Bobby! They are not thinking of America! Don’t care if he defends Israel! He is a caring person who is horrified by the killing but he Does need to get to the WH so he can heal America!

Here are some better suggestions for you: on youtube try some of travelingisrael and standwithus. They have excellent videos explaining the conflict. Also you can read Michael Oren, Einat Wilf, Daniel Gordis and Micha Goodman. I think they're all easily found. Btw, I don't think the Biden admin is sucking up to Israel. Believe me the real level of his support is tepid but he doesn't want to alienate center left people. Jews running the world is one of the oldest antisemitic tropes. Don't be fooled by it. Happy reading!

@KT McD

Please do provide a link to video you have cited re: RFK Jr. & denial of children getting killed? And when was it recorded?

Searching YouRube shows me stuff from 2 months back re: "justified" Israel/guilty terroristic Hamas mostly. Stuff from 1 month back is sounding less certain, after it became obvious that IDF was tasked with wildly disproportionate responses- the ethnic cleansing of all Gaza, along with an accelerated "settler" dispossession/murder of remaining West bank Palestinians to the same ends. I wonder what he'll be saying next week?

God only knows what he really believes, or what he could ever do about his beliefs if elected.

There is a war going on and hamas uses civilians as human shields so yes, women and children do get killed unintentionally by Israeli bombs and soldiers. However, that is not the aim whereas the aim of the Palestinians is to kill Israeli civilians.

This one doesn't match what you are saying, but I just came across this interview from 4 days ago, with twenty minutes on Isreal and Gaza : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LWHZDO7tgE&t=626s

@Joy Reynolds

Thanks, I will check that out.

(Edit- I did, and did not look great. Now to find out more about who/how/why that video came to be made & posted, as I've seen plenty of "interesting" videos constructed)

I do assume ANY politician is going to say whatever they think will fly best with any particular audience...
