Narrated by Eunice Wong Text originally published August 12, 2023 The Kennedy Promise - by Mr. Fish The long nightmare of oppression of Palestinians is not a tangential issue. It is a black and white issue of a settler-colonial state imposing a military occupation, horrific violence and
We can anticipate a spate of Holocaust movies as Israel intensifies its brutality toward Palestinians. A cheap shot that uses suffering to mediate the evil of their own wrongdoing to humanity.
I'm a very long-time follower of your offerings. Please listen to RFK Jr. w/ Tucker Carlson and also read Charles Eisenstein re: R's Israel stance. I've never experienced you to be mean, until now. I can't imagine you not resonating with almost all Bobby is offering and, yes, he's off re: Israel, but I experience him willing to learn, possibly including now from Eisenstein, you, others, my own letter to him. He's the best we've got at this time and very clear, informed and compassionate about a whole lot. I personally would wish your support of him even as you offer valuable perspectives.
This is something that everyone who has issue with Israel should memorize. RFK JR's interview on Jimmy Dore gave me all the information I needed to not voting for him .
The pull of Zionism goes back to POTUS Wilson, and gathered strength with the financing of Roosevelt's Vice Truman, to become POTUS by election, and carried forward to POTUS Johnson who had armed forces on the way to assist U.S.S. Liberty then under attack by terrorist state, stand down. Shipmen on Liberty sworn to secrecy after debriefed. Now both parties' POTUS, current and past heavily influenced by invisible hand of Zionism, POTUS aspirant, Robert Kennedy, Junior faithful to this POTUS legacy.
Chris. What to do then. I’d like to travel there to do some medical work. In Palestine. Just as an example. Point out the issues but suggestions for further reading then action would be even better. My thanks.
I have not had access to Julian Assange's exposures in Wikileaks, but the evils and corruption of America's terrorism in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, et al, have been exposed to me by Robert Fisk's courageous reporting and writing in his 1000 page book, THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILIZATION. What Hedges includes in his powerful sermon harmonizes with Fisk's journalism. Hedges comprehensive sermon conveys the essence of the Bible's witness to the prophetic summons for justice and reconciliation, but that essence has been betrayed by the Christianity of the past 2000 years, at least since the betrayal of Marcion. I am on the threshold of publishing a book that exposes Christianity's betrayal and loss of integrity by becoming a religion that constructs fences and separates peoples, nations and religions from each other. Herman C. Waetjen
I have little doubt we were not the best of visitors even as we worked for free and had no rights.
Eric Blair AKA George Orwell died in 1950 or 51 something like that.
He wrote an essay on Nationalism
Orwell understood The Ministries of Truth. He said Israel would become a fascist state. I read 1984 in 1963 and Quebec was a fascist state. In Quebec we had a revolution. Race, gender and religion are not scientific realities. The only freedom of religion is freedom from religion. We have a law Bill 21 that ratifies the laicity of the state.
By Quebec definition Israel is a fascist state but so is much of the world. We consider Trump and his followers fascists. Many of us have replaced the stars and stripes with the maize and blue of Ukraine.
I read the NYT and WP and wonder why nobody says the USA is already the biggest loser when will Russia surrender Putin or surrender to Putin.
There are no winners in wars. Wars are always an admission of human failure.
My ancestors built synagogues in Crimea and on the Black sea over 2000 years ago but somehow the land belongs Russia a land that barred our entry for centuries.
The difference between a synagogue a temple is a place of worship where God dwells like Jerusalem. or Salt Lake City A synagogue acknowledges a universal ruler.
I am autistic not retarded. I understand Chris but Americans don't know any history. They don't know world history and everything they know about their own history is a lie.
Try interpreting the establishment clause using the Dictionary used to define the word religion. Samuel Johnson was not a believer in more than one religion Religion was either Anglican or English Protestant. Quakers were a Puritan sect. I can find no real record of Adams accepting Jefferson as president. Somehow an understanding existed.
In 1820 Jefferson put together The American Bible The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.
What is missing from Jefferson's Bible are miracles. Jefferson believed in evolution not magic.
Evolutionary is the definition of liberal.
There is no solution .
Liberal and conservative are polar opposites and have nothing to do with social policy.
Putin is a conservative even in Washington. Sadly so is Biden. Empires must be conservative. Read Marcus Aurelius and Marcus was a Socratic and Socratics believe in truth and conservatives believe in power.
I want to see proof that anyone believed freedom of religion meant Catholic, Atheist, or Jews.
There is none. There is only Johnson's dictionary that defines religion as virtue and virtue is English Anglicanism and nonconformist Protestants. It required a belief in Heaven and Hell and an eternal damnation or reward.
Jefferson believed in evolution. He was a liberal. Liberal means understanding evolution is God's design
I was born a male Jew but in 1948b Autism wasn't yet real. I have had a wonderful journey. I never belonged and I always belonged where ever I went. It was wonderful being a five year child with a PhD vocabulary and a savant in abstract mathematics.
They said I had genius IQ but I couldn't do school. They said I was lazy and the harder I tried the worse I failed. It wasn't easy but Hell it was rewarding.
I can look in the mirror and like what I see. I am old and have lost the sight in one eye and I never had great eyesight they say my vision is common in Japan but unusual in Europe.
My ancestors built synagogues in Crimea and on the Black Sea over 2000 years ago but somehow the land belongs to Russia We were no longer wandering Arameans we built synagogues not temples. Temple were for lesser gods not the God of the Universe. My Father's ancestors came from the Basque country they fled the barbarians who wanted all the Jews killed. They wanted revenge for killing their Messiah. My Ancestors fled to Vilnius and when the Russians claimed Vilnius they fled to Poland. Russia always hated Jews because they were taught every conceivable misfortune was of Jewish Origin and Russian peasants knew nothing but misfortune and poverty. Mark Twain's The American Claimant is Yiddish literature not Russian. It is little wonder Twain hated the czar. The humour is not Russian it is Yiddish.
I have no understanding of Biden there were no Jews in England until the 18th century.
Holland had Jews and America welcomed Calvinists. Calvinism was virtuous and religion meant a belief in Heaven and Hell reward and punishment. Judaism was not a religion in 1789.
I love Orwell he is a great philosopher. My two favourite philosophers are Orwell and Mark Twain I will never how Swift became head of the church of Ireland. He wrote a Modest Proposal before Ireland had potatoes and little less than a century and a half later Ireland had its potato genocide or do you say patato.
I don't know what Jefferson was thinking. I will not try to justify slavery . Benjamin Franklin became very wealthy after starting full time work at age 10. He bought slaves and one day freed them and became an abolitionist extremist while Francis Scott Key's Star Spangled banner is an homage to indentured servitude and slavery and your descendants of slavery sing hosannas to the flag that stole Texas from Mexico. Mexico abolished slavery in 1828 and when America seized the Mexican province of Texas slavery ended Juneteenth after the civil war.
Orwell's essay on Nationalism tells us Israel would become a fascist state. I was born in Quebec theocracy under the Padlock Laws all religion is fascist.
In Quebec the promotion of religion is banned in our public places. In Quebec spouting religion is like being an Atheist and running as a Republican you become a televangelist in Quebec televangelists become Atheists.
Every politician in Quebec celebrates Gay Pride it makes you a real Quebecer.
Of course Netanyahu is a fascist and his coalition is fascist and it doesn't matter that Egypt is fascist and the Saudis are fascist and America is fascist. Israel has no right to be fascist fascism is undemocratic.
Did the Pope assist in the Holocaust? Do bears shit in the woods?
What does any government but the zionist government of israel have to do with the laws passed by that government or the occupiers army actions as they destroy the livelihoods then the lives of Palestine's indigenous population. What are you saying? "Poor old zionists they're all victims, we didn't expect at least half the world to get angry just because we waged war on Palestine's indigenous population". You prattle about anti-semitism but refuse to examine that racism because if you did you would realise that the zionist state was deliberately engineered by england and amerika to relieve themselves of a post ww2 problem. Understandably the remaining jews of europe were generally eager to escape from the nations whose people had at best ignored what was happening around them and at worst assisted in the slaughter of six million jews made up of 3 million snatched & or executed on the spot from the Soviet Union. Naturally you also ignore the 16 million non-jewish Soviet citizens slaughtered by nazis in the same way. Post war jews wanted out of europe and most picked amerika who as a way of controlling jewish entry had made life so tough for jewish migrants to amerika that they had to pass the einstein act which removed the barriers for jews who were either a genius or whose presence will assist national security.
All these jews nowhere to put them, hmm I know! let's pick up those fringe jews spouting zionism, promote it as an excellent fix for the 'jewish problem' and we'll send all of the jews to Palestine.
The creation of the zionist faux state had nothing to do with being humane and everything to do with anglo racism. You may remember that after the collapse of the soviet union in 91 so-called 'refuseniks' - outspoken Russian opponents of the Soviet Union expected to be granted amerika entry permits. After all they had assisted the lies about the USSR get spread across the world.
Most were not, instead against the wishes of most, they were made to migrate to the zionist faux-state. Exactly the same had occurred in the late 1940's. Jews, chiefly young jews traumatised by nazi behavior were forcibly sent to Palestine against their wishes.
Put together young people suffering from PTSD and the anger engendered by their forcible push into Palestine and it creates the perfect recipe for a psychopathic faux state just like the zionist one.
But don't ask me, go out there yourself and read what happened to create this disaster from diverse sources with a fair share of history, opinions and biographies of those who do not spout the propaganda you have so obviously ingested, then you will learn these facts for yourself.
Talk about being an anti-Semite. You are aware that all arabic speaking indigenous Palestinians are just as semitic as any jew, aren't you? Your vicious attempt to accuse all of the Palestinian people of being murderous terrorists is totally untrue but it does not diminish the racism implicit in you and your post.
The Palestinian people who have been living on their land in Palestine for more than three thousands years without having a reputation for attacking anyone who wasn't an invader eg their resistance to xtian Crusaders' invasion or the assistance they provided to TE Lawrence to drive the Ottoman empire's invasion out of Palestine are some of the only instances in that long history where they fought others, that is until zionists invaded and began murdering and raping them to chase them off the land they have owned for millennia.
I wasn't aware that Mr Hedges had any racist subscribers but you live and learn eh.

Both his father and his uncle would be ashamed of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a being an obvious dope and/or a fascist!
