Virginia Delegate Sam Rasoul, whose family was displaced by Israel, wrote about the ‘evils’ of Zionism, prompting a flurry of attacks from Tim Kaine, Abigail Spanberger, and other party colleagues.
A big FU to Tim Kaine and the other racists Dems. Zionism is a political ideology that views themselves as superior to everyone else. See the language calling Palestinians “animals” and worse.
So easy to dunk on the Palestinian American denouncing a clear and obvious genocide than denouncing Netanyahu, his right wing extremist evil regime and the IDF for committing such genocide.
I've heard it described as "the American disease", viz. slavish support of Israel as the supreme iteration of religiosity and faith ........unchallengable while the enrichment flows.
I am a life long Democrat, but I will never vote for any Democratic politician who defends what Israel has done in Gaza! I put basic human rights above politics.
AIPAC funds almost every member of congress! The Democratic Party is going to have to wake up to the evils of Zionism or lose me as a party member. I refuse to abide genocide!
It is impossible to imagine that anyone with a brain can view what is happening in Gaza, as anything other than GENOCIDE! Shame on everyone who hides behind "anti-semitism" & turns a blind eye to the reality of the truth!
You are Right , Christians have been lied to and Brainwashed with lies About any connection to Judaism , Christian believe is Completely different , Jew Don’t Believe in Jesus or His Holy Mother , They have their own holy book and will never believe or Accept the Bible,,,
Not what I'm saying. I'm an atheist. I am remarking on the fact that those 2 Monotheastic religions have a common book, The Old Testament. It has been an agreement to unite against others, ie Muslims. Better someone you have more in common with when doing business. It's always about control. Isreal is a long standing commitment. In fact religion has nothing to do with it, other wise they would actually practice their religions instead of genocide.
Believe me no insult intended toward your beliefs.
Xians don’t really give a fuck about Jews. It’s all about Xian apocalyptic mythology that claims the second coming of Christ will occur when the Jews build the third temple in Jerusalem after establishing a Jewish state etc. At that point Jews that don’t convert to Xianity will be wiped out. In present time it’s a marriage of convenience.
Why don't these people even try to understand the simple fact that Zionism is not the same as Judaism! Furthermore, Palestinians are as much a semitic people as Israelis!
Somehow they're all "saying the words" while ignoring the meaning. Judaism is an Abrahamic religion, as are Christianity and Islam, while Zionism is a political ideology.
It’s not hate or anti Zionist to point to Gaza and declare genocide. That’s what it is and Netanyahu has declared his intentions. A two state solution is the only solution and Gaza and the West Bank are included in that solution. I am no longer interested in supplying weapons that are being used to eliminate people that are, for no good reason, determined expendable, by a ruthless criminal.
Institutional Democrats need to relocate their humanity and understanding of war crimes and who our friends really are. Netanyahu is Not anything, but a war criminal.
Thank you Prem Thakker for your solid reporting, as usual.
I would like to know what Zeteo readers and writers think of this idea I have seen percolating lately:
The one and maybe only action that can end the 'war' (actually, genocide) in Gaza, as well as the escalating 'war' (actually, illegal military occupation and apartheid control of an unarmed civilian population) in the West Bank, is intervention by an armed UN peacekeeping force.
It is pure folly to even consider that the war criminal government of Netanyahu, or his bipartisan accomplices in the US government, should even be involved in this process at all. The only role for the US should be to stop arming Israel immediately, withdraw the mercenaries at 'aid' sites, and allow the UN and international courts to do their work.
Former senior UN human rights chief Craig Mokhiber and the organization People Against Genocide Everywhere have laid out a 3-phase plan that describes how this could work:
Because the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has determined that Israel does not hold sovereignty in Gaza or any other part of the occupied territories. It has no right to be there and has no authority or decision-making power over what happens there. That is now clearly established as a matter of international law.
The plan utilizes the Uniting for Peace Resolution, which was first adopted in 1950 as a way for the UN General assembly to circumvent The Security Council, where the veto of one member (in this case, of course, the US) can stymie UN action. This resolution was successfully implemented in the Suez Crisis of 1956.
The first critical step is for one UN member state – in any region – to formally request an Emergency Special Session (ESS) of the UN General Assembly. This request activates a 24-hour countdown for the General Assembly to convene and address the crisis.
Once the ESS is underway, the focus must shift to ensuring swift adoption of a comprehensive General Assembly Uniting for Peace Resolution. This resolution must authorize the deployment of a UN mandated multinational armed protective force to Gaza, to safeguard Palestinian civilians, support the UN’s unrestricted entry and distribution of humanitarian aid, preserve evidence of potential war crimes and violations of human rights, and facilitate reconstruction of Gaza.
This stage should also include accountability for Israel, including a full embargo of al arms shipments to Israel, and stripping Israel of its UN credentials.
The final phase is the commitment of the member states to enforcing the resolution: After the resolution passes, which requires a two-thirds majority, the real test begins: every nation that votes ‘yes’ must publicly state what resources they will contribute—troops, planes, ships, humanitarian aid.
I'd wager Kaine's office is quietly hoping Mr. Mamdani will not be successful-or they are covertly supporting one of the opponents, but if Mr. Mamdani makes it to the end and becomes mayor of NYC, the same moneyed Democrats and GoP folk who have been attacking all this time will continue to do everything they can to retard his success. Excessively wealthy and needlessly greedy humans only stop when they run out of options. For Mr. Mamdani, the trial will not be ending anytime soon.
Encountering the AJPM(American Jewish Propaganda Machine)
Mehdi Hasan was fired from MSNBC because of his stance against the omnipresent AJPM They wouldn't dare also fire Ayman Mohedin as well....bad for optics....so they let him stay on But the clandestinely operated AJPM in American politics is a propaganda machine that has been quietly orchestrated to support the Jewish mission The American Defamation League is an arm of the AJPM lobbying for Jewish interests
I myself had an encounter with the AJPM yesterday over on Hopium Chronicles run by pacifist Simon Rosenberg He closely monitors and heavily iron hands his comment section so a free discussion about topics is impossible since he needs to control the narrative Since Simon has strong ties with the DNC Barbara in the comment section thought he could be influential in persuading the DNC to make a statement about the Palestinian crisis
It was at that point that the monitor lashed out at Barbara for her disreputable link to the genocide and chastized her for her careless comment Rosenberg claimed that all the terrorist groups were about instituting Israeli genocide(Holocaust fears relived) while Israel is directly responsible for documented Palestinian oppression and suppression When I agreed with Barbara's position and argued against the genocidal behavior of the fascist Israeli government Rosenberg banned me from posting for a month at which time I asked for my subscription fee refunded
The AJPM is real and rules the DNC and is why the D's wouldn't support the Israeli genocide issue in the 2024 platform I won't donate a dime to the DNC anymore and their stance is in part why their numbers are in the tank(27%) nationally
BTW the Kars for Kids commercial you may have seen is a front for Jewish charities Appears that the wealthy American Jewish diaspora are too cheap to fund their own charities so they surreptitiously ply the American Gentile for money
This is why the protests also need to directed to the AJPM and DNC There are cracks in the American Jewish diaspora that need to be exploited They're losing the narrative that they have worked so hard to craft over decades in the American political scene so as to have influence over what happens
How powerful is this Jewish lobby? Ask Jamaal Bowman and others who have lost elections due to this dominant force in American politics and the DNC took notice....ok we won't cross you
But ask yourself "Where would this Jewish diaspora go if the DNC sided with the Palestinians" Would they abandon the DNC for the current Nazi regime? Strange bedfellows indeed Fascism meets fascism
This saddens me, as Senator Kaine has been one of the few reliable votes against the U.S.’s delivery of offensive weapons to Israel. He not only voted in favor of Senator Sanders’ recent bills to cut off offensive weapons, he voted for the previous bill, which had eight fewer Democratic supporters. By contrast, Kaine’s fellow Virginian and Democrat Senator Mark Warner has consistently voted to send weapons to Israel and is AIPAC “endorsed.” I have relatives in Virginia who have let both senators know that they supported Sanders’ bills, but again, Kaine was the only one of the two who voted for them. My relatives say that Warner is much more conservative than Kaine and is up for election soon so he’s hedging his bets on support for Israel. I think he’s miscalculated. In recent polls, only 8% of Democrats support Israel. I doubt that Virginia is any different. It’s now considered a blue state, having voted for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. I’m reserving most of my disgust for the Democrats who voted against the bills to cut off weapons. Those include senators from reliably blue states, like Adam Schiff who accepted approximately $6.2 million from AIPAC, Padilla, also from CA, both senators from New York and Washington State, Cory Booker from blue New Jersey and Wyden from blue Oregon. I’d throw in House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, also from blue NY, and wannabe king-maker James Clyburn who would like to dictate NYC’s choice for mayor (he announced his support for Cuomo) as well as for president. (Remember his machinations against Sanders). The DNC is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Netanyahu government. Senator Kaine is the least of our worries.
Need to write a correction. Senator Murray of Washington State voted for the bills to cut off funding. Maria Cantwell voted against. They’re both Democrats. My apologies to Senator Murray.
Senator Murray is an AIPAC tool. Don’t be fooled. She’s voted for supporting the genocide since 10/7. She has blood on her hands like the rest of the Democrats. At this point NOTHING will absolve her guilt.

The word Antisemitism has lost all meaning thanks to Israel. Donating to starving children is now Antisemitism, if they are Palestinians. I agree 100%, Zionism is pure evil, but Settler Colonial Governments will cling to it as long as they can. It is up to voters to make sure these politicians don’t get elected. Also, I pray that bright young people who believe in equality, and justice for all will join politics in large numbers. Government needs to return to being for the people, not for the profit of corporations and individuals. It seems our new breed of politicians try to grab as much money as they can while in office, citizens be damned.
Yes, but all good change has been because of citizens uprising. Protests, and yes votes! Democrats didn’t win because millions didn’t vote, due to the Genocide and them offering zero change for American people. We cannot have the attitude that governments are crooked so things will never change, that’s what they want. It is up to citizens to fight for something better, that’s is also how it’s ALWAYS been.
Zionism the desire to self determination in an historical homeland. So if the Native American, Aboriginals of Australia, Maori of New Zealand etc etc want that, and I assume they all do, this can be granted no matter who is there now and for how long and any 9ther circumstance. Why not just make it safe for all to live in peace, respect and freedom no matter who they are. Zionism being the ethnically biased doctrine it is will not allow that. So antizionism is not anti Semitic, it is just being anti fascist, anti racist etc. Sham politicians seem unable to see that. Sorry for being so long but all this is denying we have a shared humanity. I hope one day we get that back.
I’ve said this myself, many times. Every time my ultra Islamophobic cousin tells me that Palestinians have no rights to their property I ask him if he is prepared to give up his home, as it sits on what was Native American land. It makes him furious.
A big FU to Tim Kaine and the other racists Dems. Zionism is a political ideology that views themselves as superior to everyone else. See the language calling Palestinians “animals” and worse.

Same here! If you can't condemn Israeli atrocities and genocide, you have no moral compass and can't be trusted on any other issue.
I feel the same way. Not voting for Abigail Spanberger and am trying to stop my very small donation since I saw her name with AIPAC donations.
The idiot zionist democrats are going to keep losing as long as they support the fascist regime in Israel.
It is impossible to imagine that anyone with a brain can view what is happening in Gaza, as anything other than GENOCIDE! Shame on everyone who hides behind "anti-semitism" & turns a blind eye to the reality of the truth!
The Judeo/Christian bond is dastardly strong. Sickening. Gutless.

I've given up trying to tell people that Arabs are Semites. Most of the Zionists are not Semites and prefer Yiddish over Hebrew.
Zionism is a white Jewish supremacist ideology - brother of Nazi ideology.

Let's hope this comes to pass. It's the only hope. Mass deaths from starvation are already starting to happen in Gaza.
Sure and ignite World War III. The U.S. and Israel and their allies would NEVER allow this.
As a Richmonder this is so disappointing. Wondering what Kaine, and the new to be governor think of Zohran.
I'd wager Kaine's office is quietly hoping Mr. Mamdani will not be successful-or they are covertly supporting one of the opponents, but if Mr. Mamdani makes it to the end and becomes mayor of NYC, the same moneyed Democrats and GoP folk who have been attacking all this time will continue to do everything they can to retard his success.
