Very, very timeless reporting.

Thanks for posting the Judge Napolitano video with Bibi's remarks. I hadn't seen it yet and it just makes things fall into place for me. It's not Biden who's "in charge" of this mess--it's Netanyahu. He's the one that pulls the puppet strings and makes Genocide Joe jump whenever Bibi needs him to jump. Sick and disgusting.

Another short video I saw today on X: They were arresting a faculty member at the protest at Emory University. An off-camera student says, "Who should we tell for you?" And the professor says "The Philosophy Department. I'm the chair." We're arresting the people who deal in ethics... If that doesn't tell you what's wrong with Western civilization, what does? Sigh!

I've seen comments about Israel being the 51st state. But the reality is the United States is a puppet of Israel and the billionaire Zionist lobby.

All thanks and praise for the brave university protesters.

It’s as if Bibi is the defacto POTUS.

As if? He is. And the United States is a vassal state of the country it funds and arms. We are a colony of Israel with traitors in our government and country facilitating the treason.

Mark, I don’t think it’s quite so simple. Israel serves the interests of the US, and as such is under our ‘special protection.’ When Biden said ‘If Israel didn’t exist, we’d need to create it’ he was saying the quiet part out loud. The location of Israel gives the US military and NATO (which the US controls) short range access to all of the Eastern, African, and European nations. It provides an ideal laboratory for weapons, urban warfare, surveillance, propaganda and all that the vast global security state wants to experiment with. Israel’s military, intelligence, and security state doesn’t exist separately from our own.

Yes, but it is much more. We fund it, arm it, defend it and -- as we see now -- take orders from it. Netanyahu gives the orders and our police crack down of our citizens peacefully protesting under our First Amendment. Our electeds -- from the president on down -- take Zionist funding and then do what they are told. As I replied above: "...the United States is a vassal state of the country it funds and arms. We are a colony of Israel with traitors in our government and country facilitating the treason."

This nation has fallen and we didn't even know it!

Just in case these university students are faithful NYT readers, they're getting a different kind of education on campus.

All that talk of American democracy = might means right.

Calling demonstrating against genocide "nonsense" reveals exactly where Democrats' and Republicans' mostly lay.

Now we know why so many American police have been sent to Israel for “special training” for dealing with protesters!

Yes, and why US city troopers (police) use Israeli surveillance and tracking spy craft on American citizens.

There's only one Pro -Choice Position to have in this world. A Woman's Right To Choose must be Sacrosanct. Control over your own body, and the decisions that affect it, must be theirs alone. The Supreme Court Of The United States is an Institution founded on Neanderthal, Chauvinistic, Misogynistic Principles. No Man should be allowed to dictate whether a Mother, or her Child,, live or die. Autonomy over your own body must be protected.

Netanyahu must be made to realize that ZioLand is the tail of the Big Dog. When the Big Dog's tail becomes infested with fleas, that dog may bite the tail, bite with extreme prejudice!

The only thing is Netanyahu is calling the shots in the US. He calls for more weapons and gets them. He calls for the cessation of our First Amendment and the cops are sent in to beat American students -- our children -- exercising their Constitutional right to free speech. A revolution has happened in this country and Israel and their Zionist funders, agents and fascist ideology have control of the White House, Congress the State & War departments and our media. We better wrest control of the govt back, and soon.
