Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer refused to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed his intention to do so. The Israeli Fuhrer believes that his powers of persuasion are great enough to assure US acceptance, or at least acquiescence, of his plans to exterminate the Palestinian population of Gaza.
Doesn’t he already have that? President Joe Biden’s “red line” in Rafah consists of no more than a Sharpie tracing on a sheet of paper, as far as I can tell. But Bibi wants to get buy-in from his chief sponsor, with as much complicity as possible, in order to share the blame for the greatest crime of the 21st century. This means that wanton slaughter of the herded masses in Rafah will await his return, with the captive US press properly prepared to spin it as self-defense.
I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the choir, so instead of continuing, I would like to let others speak. The following is a report showing that Jewish opposition to Netanyahu’s plans is no longer limited to Jewish anti-Zionists. We may consider it tepid, but I think it’s significant.
A number of prominent Jewish donors are included on a letter from more than 100 Democratic funders calling on President Joe Biden to pull back his “unconditional” support for Israel’s war effort, and warning that it may harm his reelection prospects. (Ron Kampeas, J., March 20, 2024)
The brilliant David Rovics has also produced a timely antidote to distortion of perspective, which deserves our attention at this critical juncture. By the way, Palestinian organizations are interested in contacting Aaron Bushnell’s family to honor him, in case anyone has a way of reaching them.
Thanks to Mimi Goldman for forwarding to me an equally compelling and brilliant report and analysis by Caitlin Johnstone, including an apparent rehearsal for a Palestinian Babi Yar in northern Gaza, bolstering David’s warnings and perhaps also my suggestion for Netanyahu’s new title of Fuhrer.
Finally, please watch yesterday’s very sobering 25-minute interview of Aaron Maté by Judge Andrew Napolitano. It might help us prepare for the worst.
But if we want to prevent the worst, now is the time to act. Please call the White House and members of Congress and tell them that we won’t forgive genocide. All it takes is to tell Netanyahu that we’re stopping the aid if he continues the genocide. Wouldn’t hurt to say the same to the Democratic National Committee, either.
