Israel has gifted a powerful weapon to the right wing around the world
Watch: I went on the EI podcast to discuss my new book.
I went on The Electronic Intifada podcast to talk about my new book. It was good to be on my own podcast as a guest for once!
This was definitely my favourite of my podcast appearances so far and felt like the culmination of years of reporting.
We had a really good discussion on the issues raised by my book. Probably the most memorable point I got across was this:
It’s such a useful weapon for the Israel lobby. And it’s such a useful weapon for the right in general, for everyone from the right wing of the Labour Party to the Conservative Party, to even the fascist right … [are] using this false, weaponized anti-Semitism as a really useful political weapon against the left in general and this is a weapon that the Israel lobby has given the right around the world, and it’s such a useful weapon that it won’t ever be abandoned … It’s going to be used over and over again, it can’t be swept under the rug, it will never go away. It can only be defeated.
This isn’t going away any time soon folks! So you better read up.

Can someone write a article explaining to us Smericans -and RFK- who/ why Congress members are allowed to be dual citizens of Israel while serving USA? Then, the automatic benefits like health care, college tuition or housing many Israelis get where average Americans don’t and contrast to millions given annually to Israel in general and separately the military. Explain how many of our cops are trained by Israel. Explain how many new Israeli residents over last decades have no origin in European ww2 oppressed by Nazis. Article on any help Israel has given Zelinskys Ukrainian Nazees during past two years. And a article on aipac and what current Congressional reps take no support. Is it money laundering con to take our usa taxpayer dollars to hand to Israel who then blackmails our political candidates at home to forever support Israel’s fascism towards Palestinians? One big Mossad/Epstein middle man operation bending our government to keep middle east in turmoil.
The weaponization of truth in such endeavors as seeking Justice by the conveying and disseminating factual truths, is at fevered pitch of those “authorized” to handle that which is poison to a wounded faces directing global crimes against humanity and who are clearly exposed in plainly evident truths. Their response is criminalization of the truth conveyor, any disseminator of factual information.
The Supreme Court has today ruled that a systemic failure in a Justice System is not grounds for a release of any individual upon a conviction in court. There is no longer a hope of legal means to plead ones case for innocence after an initial judgement has been meted out, no matter the state of the judicial process, which is currently ruled by hypocrites, criminals and the captured justices of corporate America - the Trump-type appointees who should be removed from a bench soiled by the obvious illegitimacies and conflicts to which no outcry is sufficient to shame the icons of moral ignorance posted as lifelong gargoyles over American Justice.
Truth is now an illegal commodity. Those attempting to disseminate that which exposes inconvenient factual material into the light of day will be made criminals. What remains of any social centers for the sharing of experience is the scribed useful idiot monks of corporate journalism who slave to copy texts of a dead and zombie ideal once able to maintaining social strength through “an American Dream”, now playing on corporate media tv news as a cruel screaming ordeal of chaotic social mayhem fueled by corporate gun manufacturers and making a killing in the bleeding lead stories.
The illegitimate powerful portray responsible journalists as outliers and criminals unworthy of corporate paychecks, yet the people plainly see the “gangsters” of the criminalized truth as Robin Hood benefactors in the rational distribution of nourishing & enriching honest reason based in confirmed factual material.
The exposed lying faces of illegitimate power responds by claiming a quality of clothing that is not theirs as it is the soiled skin of dirty liars engaged in a national tragedy played by duopoly good-cop, bad cop assigned political roles and given to intermissions of illegitimate ‘debt-ceiling’ arrangements where Haystacks Calhoun and Freddie Blassie would be natural in such staged events with scripted endings, achieving impossible political goals that would otherwise cause voter rebellion if raised on the floor of the House or Senate. The antics of duopoly politics has ruined American politics and image from the Office of President to every captured department in ‘representative government’.
The most useful ‘reality show’ for Americans is a lie detector exam for every participant in a Potemkin Washington and it’s Departments, from the Supreme Court to the banker’s hideout at the FED and into the chambers of a duopoly Capitol Building. However there is no qualified or responsible journalist remaining in corporate media to host such an event.
Maybe they’d have to rediscover integrity which now dwells in the outlying woods as the outcasts of an evil village occupied by the witches and riches of illegitimate power.
