End the Damn Wars

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s position on Israel-Palestine is more extreme than that of the Biden White House or the AIPAC-controlled congressional Dems. As he pledges unequivocal support for the most openly fascistic, theocratic government in Israel's history, he is being shepherded around by Likudnik operatives like the fake rabbi and Zionist race hustler Shmuley Boteach, as well as the genocidal crank Morton Klein. These figures have relied almost entirely on the fortune of the late Sheldon Adelson to survive as public figures. RFK supporters seeking an alternative to the hollow, corporatized, pro-war duopoly that monopolizes national US politics must consider the shady characters surrounding the candidate and question whether a wing of one of the most powerful political lobbies in US history has paid for the candidate's Likudnik views, dumping dark money into Super PACs to propel a campaign that was launched as a frontal assault on the establishment. If RFK can be turned to a champion of the largest recipient of US foreign aid, a high-tech apartheid colony that provides a testing ground for dystopian surveillance systems, which routinely assaults Syria, lobbies for a US-led regional war with Iran, and which undermines the speech rights of citizens across the West by branding any and all critics as antisemitic, pushing laws from the US to the EU to criminalize their political activities, what's to stop him from compromising any other antiwar or free speech principle he claims to uphold when a powerful lobby courts him? A few other questions for RFK Jr. supporters and the candidate himself: If RFK is, in fact, a sincere supporter of Israel's Likudnik-Kahanist government, where is the record of his ultra-Zionist activism before he launched his run for president? Why is he actively avoiding publicly engaging with prominent media figures who criticize Israel but sympathize with other aspects of his campaign? (I know several on his press list who are being ignored). And where is his campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, who has been among the only elected Democrats to defend the rights of Palestinians on the national stage, doing so at a time when the issue was much more difficult to discuss than today? I respect the challenge @RobertKennedyJr has presented to the war state on Ukraine, to the corporate media, and to Big Pharma, but the question of Israel-Palestine remains paramount.
