The Grayzone's Jeremy Loffredo joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to review his reporting covering Israel in the U.S., the Occupied Territories and Israel itself—as well as his frightening detainment by the occupying forces.
The dirty truth is that Israelis get to indulge in any outrage — with impunity — anywhere in the west, even violating national sovereignty as they did in Amsterdam. After watching the real deal, a 16-y-o Dutch kid’s video report on the Grayzone, my mind is blown by how bloody terrible this situation has become. And now, with Trump ready to shack up with Miriam Adelson — Oy gevalt. Yahweh’s chosen may not rule the world, but they sure run roughshod over US, Canada, and the EU. Apparently we are all at their disposal.
After watching a few moments of the vomiting crap televised this mourning of the crony corporate capitalist criminal bull-shit, cowardice, rot, deceit, and propaganda of the cock-sucking God Damned Zionist-Jew BASTARDS, NUTANYAHU & MEGALOMANIAC TRUMP --- HOW CAN ANY: PROUD, BRAVE, PRINCIPLED, Americans EVER drop to the level of this American broadcast BULL-SHIT and RANK COWARDICE of anything called the First Amendment "FREE SPEECH" of the United States of America????
A shining hill of DEMOCRACY?
THAT AMERICA has already been draped with the dog=shit of disgust more accurately POSED by this fucking new Washington Post, first page, banner line honor, which should read:
"DEMOCRACY DIES IN DARKNESS UNDER EMPIRE"
GOOD, HONEST, AND COURAGEOUS AMERICANS have been fucked to death with this decades-long growing EMPIRE OF SHIT.
This is the last of my double-sided, ad-hoc, focus-group tested, and most favorably voted Demostration/Protest signs --- which simply say:
"The Biden administration said Tuesday that it will not limit weapons transfers to Israel despite Israel’s failure to meet US demands to increase aid levels in Gaza amid the starvation blockade and ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza.
The administration sent a letter to Israeli officials on October 13, giving Israel 30 days to allow more aid into Gaza, but it did not explicitly say there would be consequences. Tuesday marked the end of the 30-day deadline, and Israel didn’t come close to meeting the US demands. The State Department said it won’t change any policies toward Israel, confirming the letter was nothing more than a pre-election public relations ploy."
I find the hold Zionists appear to hold over all the western leaders of the world (except Spain) confounding. Amsterdam police reportedly arrested 10 Zionist wackoos doing damage to property and going after dark skinned people with pipes stolen from construction sites ...then let them all go. It is way past time for a ceiling on wealth accumulation.
I don't know about other countries, but in the US it's money. Mearsheimer's book on the AIPAC lobby really spells it out. I guess European countries, those that are part of the European union, follow in America's footsteps. Right, what happened in Amsterdam was enlightening, Israeli soccer fans wreck havoc, express their anti-Palestine hate and get some retaliatory response from those victimized and it's those anti-Semites who were responsible for everything. They are always the victim, no matter their crimes. They have cultivated that role but hopefully it won't let them get away with a genocide.
Unfortunately this disgusting criminal Hitler prepared this cultivation of the role of the victims and they can rely on it see Germany and Austria etc. (I don't see any change of this in our lifetime)
How many know that people like the Poles were slaughtered by the Nazi's, and some 2 million died, and many died in concentrations camps, or that the Nazi's used many during their occupation of Poland as slave labor, or deported them, and their ultimate goal was to deport most of the population leaving some 15 percent behind to be used as slaves. Other groups were targeted as well, but like the Poles their stories have become background noise. I am not trying to undermine the horror of the Jewish Holocaust, but the stories of others have been put to sleep, and I'm sure you can guess why.
If memory serves this genocide happened under Biden, and he has been the one supplying them with weapons to kill the people the Israeli's hate. Incredible hypocrisy. A Black woman as his vice president, an open border where everyone and anyone can come in. He is a man for all people, except when it comes to Muslims, where he supported all our Middle Eastern wars, , and referenced himself as a Zionist to Netanyahu, supplying him with the weapons to kill well over 100 thousand Palestinians, most being women and children. I don't necessarily trust the incoming administration in regard to Israel, since the US has a long history of supporting the carnage Israel has implemented, and have trained Americans to see any criticism of Israel as anti-semitism.
The sheer revolting reality is that with respect to Israel, it's absolutely irrelevant whose ass occupies the big leather chair in the oval office because policy is dictated by bloody Zionist billionaires -- though AIPAC, the ADL and all the other well-funded, dug-in pro-Zionist organizations operating throughout the world. A genuine shitshow.
I know, I'm on Mearsheimer's sub-stack. It's the degree of their prejudice which is so abhorrent. They see these people as less then animals, and don't even have any regard for the children, which is really sick. To think they were given this land based on prejudicial claims, and to see it as a land without a people when there were people there, for a long time, then to implement the Nakba, killing some 70 thousand, and sending some 700 thousand on their way, and now a genocide. It's a society that sees themselves as perpetual victims. The Palestinians are not their victims, but they are the victims of the Palestinians. Look at what happened in Amsterdam, the Jewish perpetrators, who initiated the violence, in the end become the victims.
"Just to help you further understand what the Biden administration was culpable of.
The Biden administration said Tuesday that it will not limit weapons transfers to Israel despite Israel’s failure to meet US demands to increase aid levels in Gaza amid the starvation blockade and ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza.

Thank you Jeremy Loffrado, for your brave, truthful journalism that lets us know what is really happening in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank. Sorry you had to go through the traumatic experience of being arrested by Israeli Police, but glad you were released and not seriously injured. Looking forward to more of your outstanding journalism.
Jeremy Loffredo, very gutsy to go there and report, THEY had to dishearten you, now you got a good dose of PTSD (what to say about a so-called civilized, democratic country - our shining light there in the Middle East, what a cruel joke ... Reminds me very much of Kafka's Der Prozess - what a nightmare!)
Thank God he was able to leave and I hope he never goes back. Part of the torture was making sure he had no idea if this imprisonment was going to be for the rest of his life.
The Empire is a cornered animal desperately fighting to maintain world control by stirring up conflicts. Zionism, not Israel I hope, is creating diversions to cover it's untenable apartheid position in the oil rich ME, and just recently, our MIC government's 'Ole Joe approved missile attacks deeper inside Russia from our proxy war position in Ukraine. For the same reason: to cover up our declining Empire's loss of world hegemony.
These "machines" of destruction are not representing us, IMO. In fact, they may end up killing us.

Why do we let Israelis hide their unprecedented crime against humanity by using words like:
Zionism. We should call it Colonialism.
Self Defense. We should call it The Second Holocaust.
Our response to Condemn October 7 and Hamas: Are you saying we should condemn the Jews that fought the Nazis such as the Warsaw ghetto uprising.
