So far, my influence over global events has been less than a butterfly’s wings. Reporting on them as a cultural critique provides a measure of peace inside a bubble as fragile as WWIII. Om Naaah Shalom. In this series, Antisemantic Antivaxxers for RFK jr., I’m reading the tealeaves of polls and trial balloons from the corporate press. Results are worrisome to my doppelganger Alfred E Neumann, “What Me Worry about Anti-Zionism?”
A recent poll by Ipsos found: “In the absence of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, about three-quarters of Americans, including 80 per cent of Democrats and 64 per cent of Republicans, would choose a democratic Israel that’s no longer Jewish, over a Jewish Israel without full citizenship and equality for non-Jews living under its authority.”
Hmmm. Perhaps, installing them in Afghanistan, Iraq and Egypt (scratch that) soured Americans on democracy. Maybe it’s the constant bleating over Existential Threats to Democracy in the Homeland. Israel was the “only democracy in the Middle East”, when it wasn’t. From that seed, mustard trees can grow.
Defense Secretary Austin said in a speech that a two-state solution is the “only viable” way out of the conflict, so civilians can “find a way to share the land that they both call home. The center of gravity is the civilian population and if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat. We will continue to press Israel to protect civilians and to ensure the robust flow of humanitarian aid,” shortly before a Zionist doctor cut him a new asshole.
Two States is Dead. Bibi put a stake in it. Blame it on Bibi, Bobby. He’s Biden’s butt buddy. RFK jr can say Security breeds Insecurity. Bombs Away Come Home to Roost. Corporate press already calls Kennedy antisemitic even though he’s Israel’s True Friend. The kind that takes your keys away when you’re blind drunk.
It’s a Two Winged Turkey, our national bird, even though the majority prefer neither. Bobby has been cast as an anti-Semitic anti-Vaxxer by corporate captured media. Kennedy can redeem himself by cutting the cordite strangling their stiff necks. Israeli hubris rests on U.S. weapons. CNN’s Gaza stories are spun through the IDF, yet CNN broke their Gaza cemetery desecrations (evidence of genocidal intent in the ICJ).
Younger Americans need tactics and strategy training, since politics is a subtle sport where winner takes all. Young voters are saying they might vote and leave the presidential slot blank. Now that’s a wasted vote. A vote for RFK jr in November (he’s not in the primaries), even if you have to write him in is your best butterfly blow against the empire.
Terrorists have killed fewer Americans than peanut dust since 9/10, yet the ginormous panic the next day cost unborn Americans their future, less fifteen trillion dollars over twenty two years of GWOT without making them safer from peanuts or terrorists. Bailing out Banks from their Great Recession cost $7 trillion in zero interest digital dollars. COVID home grown terrorism cost kids another $3 trillion, still no healthier.
Education, Infrastructure, Green Deals, Future retirement are funding blooming deserts, if vengeance is mine rules the order. Bibi is Bad for U.S. imperial hegemony’s image. Pushing more BRICS from the wobbling Western Wall.
RFK jr can tie sins to selected scapegoats and light them. Divert the youth from old people draining entitlements, to settler colonialism in Palestine, Jewish billionaires swinging $ticks in their anti-zionist faces, Dr. Fauci and his malevolent medicine deck of Black Jacks and Suicide Kings. Throw Commie China in to wring concessions over the Taiwan straits and shared southern seas. End the War on Ukraine and Rein in Putin.
It will be far cheaper to defend Isrelistine like we do Costa Rica, than arm it like a chained pitbull surrounded by swarms of semites. Double down on all bets are off. Cease Fire Now and One State Solution is the greater good for Jewish people, (and those with the legal “right to return” like this lapsed Catholic). The majority don’t live in Israel and won’t visit anytime soon.
Some tribalists identify strongly with their ethno-religious haven, others feel petrified because they’re identified with it. Both are no fun in times of war. Neither is being a torched in a tank, internally displaced evacuees or the Last Living Hostages. War is Bad all around, for all around. Bobby is the only presidential candidate with nothing to lose by preaching that. OK, watch out for the Woman in the Polka Dotted Dress. And don’t exit through the kitchen.
If that’s not persuasive, consider the greenhouse gases exploded in the most crowded prison on the planet. Millions of EV’s won’t make up for the methane released from a hundred thousand dead bodies. Wider War is a non-starter without U.S. weapons. All out war with China to our west, Russia to the East, refugees from the South and smoke from the north. That’s the plan by the Best and the Brightest for National Security.
RFK can announce the safest place for Jews is the New Jerusalem. Come Home to America, you crazy chabadniks. There’s tunnels to dig in Brooklyn. Concrete trucks are antisemitic, so you’ll have to hire refugee Palestinians to do the digging and mixing. Old World Hatreds are forgotten in the United States of Amnesia.
I enjoyed reading your insights and various solutions, particularly to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. Not being familiar with American Politics I shouldn’t comment as presently my focus
is on familiarising myself with New Zealand Politics!
However, when reading my tea leaves I noticed they expressed that the IP conflict will never
be solved as the ‘grooves are too deep and too long’.
The leaves were arranged in such a way that seem to express that the problem does not want to be solved as coping with peace would be far too stressful for all involved.
A friend of mine, Palestinian, once hired a moving company which was run and staffed by Israelis to move his furniture in Melbourne. He's a Mason though so he would get short shift around here at the moment.
