It is getting VERY WEIRD that Bobby has said NOT A WORD about Israel and Palestine. Any aspiring statesman HAS TO address this issue front and center! Granted that it is a political minefield and that his views are probably undergoing reevaluation and careful moral and strategic revision. But it is past time to SAY SOMETHING. Where is that fabled courage and independence we all admire? Where is that peace candidate, that heal the divide candidate? THIS IS HURTING HIM.
Last night (see 11/9/23 on Rumble, “RFK Jr. Pushes WORLD WAR III Over OIL!” @12:40), Jimmy Dore discussed RFK's Nov 3rd tweet where he thanked Jeffery Sach's for writing : 'By coming out for urgent diplomacy and peace in Israel and Ukraine, RFK, Jr will do the right thing and win the election, hands down.' Thanks Jeff!”
Ironically, last week, the "Kennedy Beacon" Substack censored Jeremy Sachs for calling for diplomacy & peace in Gaza! Shortly after his thoughtful article, "Israel’s Chance to Turn Carnage into Peace" -- Friends Do Not Let Friends Commit Crimes Against Humanity, was posted onto the “Beacon” substack, it's editor deleted it! (You can find the "Page Not Found" link by "Googling": "Kennedy Beacon" "Israel's Chance to Turn Carnage into Peace"; Sach's article can still be found on the "Common Dreams" website).
RFK claims he is “telling the truth to the American people” ... except for Palestine? Since May, when he backtracked on his praise for Roger Walters, his stance on Israel-Palestine has lacked the nuance, truth telling, and open-mindedness RFK has displayed on other important issues. In August, RFK promised Jimmy Dore he would debate/talk with Max Blumenthal. So far, RFK hasn't (just like Dr. Peter Hotez has ducked debating RFK on vaccines).
Considering RFK's anti-censorship position, it's rather ironic RFK's Super PAC is now censoring itself! RFK himself has long been censored on vaccine issues, etc. Will RFK ever come out for “diplomacy & peace... will do the right thing...?” I'm losing hope.
That's my hope as well, and the most logical explanation for his silence, but it's getting urgent for him to make a statement, hopefully one that is not as locked-in to unquestioning support for WHATEVER Israel does, but is more even-handed and peace-focused, since this war endangers the whole world.
A new friend I met through the campaign writes,
"Here is something strange (and rather shocking): this weekend, for some reason, the US Navy dedicated a new carrier called the USS Robert F. Kennedy. The family was there, including Bobby and Cheryl. And Nancy Pelosi(!?). The shocking thing is Pelosi made a speech calling for calm and asking people to sympathize with both sides in the Gaza conflict. YOWZA. Yet, still nothing but silence from RFK Jr. . .
"Do you think Pelosi was sort of clearing the ground ahead, where Kennedy (this week please!) will now stand?"
That would be strange, since Bobby left the party, but who ever knows what's really going on behind the scenes. Just hope he does what is right AND best for his chances of election.
Yep. I see in the comments that everyone who wants to be behind Bobby 100% is now questioning his integrity on his stance for waging peace. We must hear from him on this issue.
admitting he is wrong about Israel and its leader forces him to confront the error his uncle made in support of Zionism. In light of the bully Israel has turned into it was a mistake that is costing thousands of Palestinian lives and a punch in the face to his “friend” Biden and the Democratic party. That would require even further letting go of the Kennedy legacy and the rest of his family. Isn’t Ethel still alive? Breaking with family and maybe even Cheryl could drive him over the mental health edge. And then there’s Larry David and the Hollywood crowd.
Why Not Kennedy is really the question. The answer: Gaza and Bobby's ongoing warped support for apartheid Israel, now committing genocide on Gaza. And he says nothing.
I really enjoyed this podcast and the reflections of his friend who wrote, The Real Robert Kennedy. All the statements made make me certain he is the person who should be our next president. BUT, I agree with Annie Gottlieb, below, who makes a very important point. "It is getting VERY WEIRD that Bobby has said NOT A WORD about Israel and Palestine. Any aspiring statesman HAS TO address this issue front and center!" Please address this issue.
"In offering “Israel” unconditional backing to effectively invade and occupy the entirety of the Gaza Strip, despite what officials may say, the United States has long eyed an opportunity to give “Tel Aviv” control over offshore natural gas resources, which, by legal rights, belong to the Palestinian state. This area, known as “The Gaza Marine,” is home to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources. Although discovered in 2000, “Israel” has never permitted the Palestinian Authority to have access to it, and likewise, the Gaza Strip has long been under an effective maritime and economic blockade, which has prevented it from being developed outside of Israeli control."
I have confidence in Bobby’s ability to be the leader and global statesman that America needs to navigate the years ahead, restore our country and heal the divide.
Excellent podcast episode - really interesting - love The Beacon and this latest feature, great to see the growth. You all are doing important work and a fantastic job! 👏
I am an independent. There are many things I appreciate about Kennedy....his stand on Big Pharma and a clean food chain. That he loves America and understands Marxist ideologies have taken over the Democrat party. The Democrat Party is NOT the party of JFK anymore. He understands that globalists are NOT helping Americans to thrive but are putting them in bondage, which the DNC supports. He gets that people are divided, much in part because of the party he left and their antics to purposely divide us with lies and manipulated media.
But there are a few major reasons I still can't support him. All life matters, even the unborn, who are real humans in the womb. When one cell meets another, life begins. Kennedy can't support this important topic, choosing to stand with people who make poor choices, then think they can erase a human life by their "choice?" I've written his campaign and never received an answer -- wanting to give him a chance to explain fully. This is not a "freedom of choice" issue. This is an "all life matters" issue.
I am still worried about his tradition (Democrat) of spending too much money and over-programming. We have nothing left to give to Gov't. Our pocketbooks are empty. Food, gas, housing, rent -- all cost TOO MUCH. More programs cannot fix this. LESS programming and balancing the budget can. Opening up our oil drilling would help tremendously, but he won't go there. You can still be an environmentalist and drill for oil, causing it to be done properly and safely.
Kennedy wants to create even more programs. We have so many useless programs that cost a lot of money -- to add to these? Many of these programs haven't been successful. Many programs and grants/studies are given to people to pay them off on the gov't payrolls. We are 32-33 TRILLION dollars in debt which comes out of the taxpayer pocketbooks. OUR pocketbooks by higher taxes, more regulations and fees.
Yes, the threat of war is real, but so is the war on our ability to financially survive -- and for our children to hopefully thrive. Thanks to this current Democrat Party, we have given away much of our needed supplies to survive a war should it come our way, and this party seems determined to head our country in this direction.. This current Democrat Party has pushed us into a horrible position in regard to the Ukraine and now with Iran, depleting our reserves terribly. They give money away to countries that end up sending it to terrorist organizations. Our tax dollars -- paying terrorists. Not cool.
Our children and grandchildren do not deserve this burden of excess. Politicians continue to promise things to people to appease them, ignorant of the long term cost to our country. Ideologies are entering culture as a whole that will end up hurting the morality and hearts of our children, pushed upon us by this current Democrat Party so they can appease their future voters. This kind of thinking shows a lack of wisdom.
Lastly, I'm not sure Kennedy is wholly Constitutional. We need this foundation to stay in place, because only then can we remain a free county.
I wish him well. Truly thought I might vote for him, but these important things matter to all of humanity and before the eyes of God. Right now, as an independent, I would have to vote DeSantis based on these things. Kennedy seems like a good guy, but he still has too much socialistic baggage. We are only free if the Constitution remains intact.
hmmmm. I don’t think De Santis is honest about many things but your strong pov about abortion may be where you and he are aligned. He’s not going anywhere however with Republican support. Trump
is pulling strong numbers in the Heartland and Donald is clearly pro abortion through his past transgressions with women. You are better off with RFK Jr on this issue.
Thanks for those thoughts, but I think DeSantis still fits what we need. As a former Navy Seal, he understands the military and world conflict. We need that right now. In addition, the other things about over-spending on programs is still firmly entrenched in Kennedy's campaign from what I have researched. I do think that DeSantis is as honest as any politician. He's also strong on border security, school choice, freedom of health issues (not talking about abortion hear, but health), and keeping a budget. I agree with you that Trump will probably win, and that's a conundrum but I'm hoping more independents will gravitate towards DeSantis because of these things.

perhaps he is re-evaluating from the perspective of the long ago past to the current psychotic Netanyahu present. One can hope.
That's my hope as well, and the most logical explanation for his silence, but it's getting urgent for him to make a statement, hopefully one that is not as locked-in to unquestioning support for WHATEVER Israel does, but is more even-handed and peace-focused, since this war endangers the whole world.

I think it has destroyed him. There is still time, but he is being forgotten -- podcasters no longer seem to mention him.
Ask Bobby to address this.
Health Impact News
Thousands of Jewish Protesters Shut Down NYC Grand Central Station with Hundreds of Jews Arrested for Supporting Peace and Cease Fire in Gaza
it’s great. i’m there in spirit with them.
A close friend of mine who happens to be a Vietnam veteran(for peace) created this open letter to Bobby and hopefully it will be taken to heart.
Bobby - In my humble opinion, you should announce you were wrong
about in supporting everything the Israeli government does, and say
clearly that their on-going and ever-increasing crushing of innocents
in Gaza is a moral nightmare. And that our nation should be actively
opposing it. This reversal of stance, this demonstration of moral
courage, of your ability to learn and grow, to widen and deepen your
worldview as necessary, would, I think, catch the attention of
billions worldwide who are shocked at the US is support of this
accelerating ethnic cleansing. And your campaign would catch fire
again with Americans, especially the young and people of color, and
millions would be inspired to support and work for your election.
You could change things in the world. You could win the presidency,
and have the chance to change things even more, before the world goes
off a cliff. My inner voice says, "Good luck! Not likely!" But it
also says it's worth a Hail Mary. You're in a unique position to throw
that pass, and you've got a lot of us receivers in the end zone.
Give it a try! Good luck! Biden and Trump could split the pro-war
vote, and you could win with as little as 34%.
Peace and love, brother Bobby. You can do it.
