đź§µFascinating thread. I've tried for years to get a member of the Squad to take up the issue of Israel's nukes and use that to try to cut off funding to Israel, and none have done so.

Here's MTG raising Israel's nukes more than any member of congress has before, but it's got serious problems....
The way MTG says it almost makes it sound like she might be ok w Israel using nukes if they kept us out of it which I think is the wrong take away and could be the next stage of the imperial project....
Israel has shown that it can commit genocide and get away with it. It IS getting away with it. No one with the power to stop it is doing so. Sanctions are not being seriously applied, a peace for has not been assembled to stop the genocide. This is APPEASEMENT...
So why wouldn't imperial Israel consider going to the next level and more brazenly using its nuclear weapons exactly? ...
Does MTG have a problem with that? Or is she enabling it? Why isn't she and other members of congress talking about the Glenn - Symington amendments to cut off aid to Israel as Desmond Tutu urged in his last article?
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
MTG's current approach is not America First. It may be the next stage of the colonial project, which is basically defined by the current insidious relationship between the Israeli and US establishments.
What's needed is getting rid of Israel's nukes, a nuclear free Mideast and moving to wider disarmament. Not a phony "America First" that lets Israel escalate its genocidal activity.

On Biden's pardons -- the criminality of Fauci and connections to Jan 6 -- as I've said before, Jail Fauci, Free Palestine. And of course jail Blinken et al....
First off, while many on the right have been unwilling to recognize Blinken/Biden/Israel criminality regarding Gaza, many so-called liberals have been unwilling to see the criminality of Fauci regarding the pandemic. The is how the establishment has divided the public.

Fauci, Fraud about how he covered up likely lab origin of Covid (dangerous lab work that he helped fund)

Fauci Should be in Jail, But that's a Footnote. The Real Issue Is Bioweapons -- and not Just Chinese Bioweapons.

There are three things in the photo that virtually nobody else sees but me. Image
A few might notice the keffiyeh beneath my right leg. It’s from my dad who was driven out of the Galilee in Palestine in 1948 as a child.

I told part of his story here:

Then there’s the pens and the Expo marker, in memory of the poet Refaat Alareer who was assassinated by imperial Israel on Dec. 6, 2023.

See his remarks to @intifada in the video below to understand

THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD Image

Report: Samuel Pisar, Blinken's stepfather, was Jeffrey Epstein's legal advisor as well as Robert Maxwell's Image

Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar — who Blinken has invoked at high profile events — was not only lawyer and confidant to media mogul and Mossad "super spy" Robert Maxwell but apparently to Jeffrey Epstein himself. ... husseini.orgImage
Antony Blinken’s grandfather was Maurice Blinken, who founded the American Palestine Institute after World War II... The institute's report is said to have helped persuade the United States Government to support the establishment of the State of Israel.

My latest -- on Nasrallah --

The Life of Martyrdom

I arrived in New York City a week ago. I immediately went to a protest in Astoria, Queens. It started in “Little Egypt” and weaved through the immigrant neighborhood there.

It ended with a banner — “Glory Glory to our Martyrs” held up before a memorial in a waterfront park with Jesus Christ’s words etched in stone: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Above was a figure with sword in hand. ...Image
...I remember my dad telling me how Nasrallah, prior to his son Hadi’s being killed by Israel, would recount how he felt a measure of embarrassment when he would meet with the families of martyrs. His own son’s killing seemed to focus him. ...

"When Ayşenur Eygi was recently killed by the Israeli military, the International Solidarity Movement quickly declared: “She is now one of many martyrs in this struggle.” But in its coverage of her killing, Democracy Now, for example, didn’t use the term.

Norman Finkelstein’s most recent book is titled Gaza: An Inquest into Its Martyrdom.

Nir Rosen’s book on Iraq is The Triumph of the Martyrs.

Rosen’s title echoes that of one of the most important books of the 19th Century: François-René de Chateaubriand’s The Martyrs, Or, The Triumph Of The Christian Religion. And of course there’s Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and much else. And obviously Jesus and other martyrs of the New Testament such as Stephen. ..."husseini.org

Robert Kennedy Tried to Make the American Zionist Council's AIPAC Register as a Foreign Agent

Sen. Fulbright "uncovered a massive network of financial 'conduits' moving funds directed by the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem to lobby startup groups across the United States."
AIPAC has spent more than $100 million on the 2024 campaigns. The White House recently condemned Rep. Cori Bush for attacking AIPAC after the pro-Israel group spent $9 million to unseat her. In 2022, The American Prospect reported: “AIPAC Has Taken Over the Democratic Primary Process”

CNN now blares: “Biden administration announces major actions to tackle Russian efforts to influence 2024 election.” Reuters proclaims: “Russia, China, Iran trying to influence US election, intelligence official says.” See my past piece “"Russiagate’ Was Israelgate”.

Grant Smith is author of How Israel Made AIPAC: The Most Harmful Foreign Influence Operation in America and other related books. He was interviewed earlier this year about “Why AIPAC is still Israel’s foreign agent.”

In 2009, he wrote the piece “The Kennedys vs Israel’s Lobby” published by Pulse. The piece as a standalone only seems to only be available via WayBackMachine now, so I have republished it below. He summarizes the issue in this video from a few years ago:
In his talk, he highlights his tweet to one of RFK’s pro-Israel children: “Your father's Justice Department told @AIPAC to register as an Israeli foreign agent under FARA on 11/21/1962. That was when AIPAC operated as the lobbying division of the American Zionist Council. RFK tried to engage, AIPAC didn't comply & U.S. suffers.”

"Uniting for Peace" is Next Step in Invoking Genocide Convention Process to Protect Palestine

The UN General Assembly must be pushed to do what it can, including a resolution for sanctions against Israel. Could directing protests at the UN help make that happen? Image
"I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it." — Dwight Eisenhower

Full piece oulining history and strategy at husseini.org
Following the latest orders from the International Court of Justice that Israel halt its military offensive in Rafah, some claimed that while the orders of the Court are of course binding, there’s “no enforcement mechanism.” The Court’s orders were of course the result of South Africa’s invoking the Genocide Convention against Israel and its repeated requests for additional orders from the ICJ.

In fact, there is such an enforcement mechanism — it’s the UN Security Council. The ICJ is a court that issues orders. The UNSC should act like a sheriff which implements those orders.

The problem of course is that the US government has misused its veto power to prevent the UNSC from actually ensuring security, vetoing numerous resolutions on Palestine since October. And another UNSC draft resolution by Algeria is now in the works and it’s evident that the US government will veto and/or water it down. ...
