Money certainly plays a big role. A lot of our Congress critters are heavily supported by AIPAC. Hakeem Jeffries is a good example, as is Cory Booker. AIPAC also spends large sums of money to defeat politicians who don't strongly support Israel. Cory Bush and Jamaal Bowman are recent examples.

And don't forget Chuck Schumer, who got 1.7 million from AIPAC

The real irony is that Israel is quite obviously recycling part of the billions in tax payer cash it receives from the US every year to buy the Congress and the senate.

I'd add that it's more than simply money. We have the congruence of Power, Profits, and Prophets. A clear analysis will not overlook any part of this unholy trinity.

Profits yes, but "Prophets?" I must assume you mean phony prophets, not real ones. Jesus and Muhammad were real prophets. Those supporting Israel and its genocide are NOT prophets, they are children of Satan.

Quite right. The Judeo/ Christian Alliance. Better someone you have something in common with. It's us against them, i.e. Muslims. Back to the founding of Isreal.

Whether you call him God or Allah or Cosmic Forces of Nature makes no difference, but true Christians and true Muslims worship the same God. Both Jesus and Muhammad knew that, but the average idiot of today doesn't seem to be able to grasp that. If you hate instead of love, if you worship shekels - money, power and control, you worship Satan, regardless of whether you call yourself a Christian or a Muslim.

Israel acts like a global empire. Everyone and anyone can be criticized, except for Israel. No matter what horrible atrocity it commits, if you only suggest they stop, you are accused of "anti-semitism" which is a very tired and phony excuse. What it in effect does is make people anti-semitic, but in a way that has nothing to do with racism or prejudice, but has been earned by Israel's arrogance and superiority complex.

The correct term is "Anti Zionist". Zionism is a political, nationalistic movement that currently drive Netanyahu and his regime.

I wouldn't call Zionism a "political nationalistic movement. People of all races, ethnicities and nationalities can can join the same political nationalistic movement. Zionists are ethnic Jews suffering from a superiority complex, who feel they are the only "humans" while those of other ethnicities are no more than animals. It has nothing to do with politics, and everything with race and superiority. Zionist politics are empire building, total and absolute control over all others.

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

Pope Leo XiV seems to be a good man and smart. If he goes to Gaza, Israel will kill him, I feel sure of it.

Since the end of WWII, Israel has delivered a multi-decade "Masterclass" in constantly and successfully claiming to be the "victim". For almost 2 years they have butchered, Palestinians, their own citizens and hostages. Acting with impunity because of American "backing". The litany of US officials whose allegiance to Israel eclipses all other loyalties. With each passing day their comments illustrate their extraordinary hubris. Hubris that will ultimately be their downfall. (We hope.)

At a recent anti-Trump march here in the U.S., I struck up a conversation with a public schoolteacher from a neighboring state who was carrying a Palestinian flag. (There was a large pro-Palestinian contingent at the march). The teacher told me that six employees at the school where she taught had been put on administrative leave for posting pro-Palestinian comments on their private social media accounts. So, it’s more than our universities, politicians and media that are being targeted, as readers probably already know.

September 18 is the U.N. General Assembly/International Criminal Court deadline imposed on Israel to cease specific actions that constitute genocide. A group is organizing a way to override an expected U.S. veto of any punitive measures voted on by the General Assembly under a provision called “Uniting for Peace” that allows an override by 2/3’s of the General Assembly. A toolkit for supporting the Uniting for Peace action can be found at LifelineforPalestine.com. Participants at the group’s recent webinar included representatives of Doctors against Genocide, a former U.S. presidential candidate (Green Party), musician Roger Waters and journalists.

We in the U.S. can continue pressuring “the Washington branch office of Israel’s parliament, the U.S. Senate.”

Sanctions under the Uniting for Peace provision would include a military embargo, a protective international force to provide aid, and severing Israel from the U.N.

Support the Hind Rajab Foundation

https://donate.stripe.com/cN228hbY5g7jaM84gg

On 25 August 2025, Israel struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis twice, killing 22 civilians — including journalists, doctors, rescue workers, and a 14-year-old child. Today, the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights filed a complaint to the International Criminal Court, exposing the full chain of command behind the massacre. Our investigation proves that the Golani Brigade engineered and coordinated the attack under continuous drone surveillance, the 188th Armored Brigade executed it with guided missiles, and senior commanders up to Prime Minister Netanyahu authorized and enabled it. This was not crossfire, but deliberate killing with genocidal intent. Justice demands accountability.

The term "anti semitism" is an easy propaganda weapon by Netanyahu and company. And most people become scared to be anti Israel because of it. It is Zionism, a political, nationalistic movement that drives Israel at the moment. So critics are anti Zionist not antisemites

Put a stop to GHF

There’s a campaign to have the Delaware Attorney General, Kathy Jennings, dissolve the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which is incorporated in Delaware. The group DELPHR has launched an effort to put pressure on the Deleware Attorney general, with a letter-writing effort. You can do your part and sign on here:

national letter-writing tool which was created by the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Activists from 44 countries have launched the largest civilian flotilla in history at the end of August in an effort to break Israel’s siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the starving population of the enclave. 

The Global Sumud Flotilla, along with three allied initiatives, will send dozens of boats from Spanish ports on 31 August and Tunisian ports on 4 September, aiming to establish a humanitarian corridor and confront what organizers call Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

Wondering if your team is gonna comment about the work from This Will Hold regarding the 2024 election theft. Seems like this is deserving of a journalist with a team capable of explaining complex issues to the public in a clear and concise manner.
