SUCKERED! Ralph Nader Makes It Clear Who Controls Congress On Gaza, And It Ain't The People
Sen. Tammy Baldwin's big money support from the Zionist JStreet PAC explains her unblinking steadfast support of US/Israeli war crimes against the children of Gaza
Israel’s well-funded behind-the-scenes lobbying effort cuts the peace protests off at the knees as effectively as a US anti-personnel bomb dropped by an Israeli air force bomber can slice the legs off a six-year old in a Gazan refugee camp.
One may wonder why Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin has been completely mum in response to 68% of Americans demanding a complete ceasefire to the non-stop massive US/Israeli bombardment of Gaza, where thousands of infants and children have been slaughtered.
What? A Wisconsin Democrat silent about genocide. A ‘progressive’ democrat?
Golly gosh durn it, how could that be?
After all, silence is consent and when it comes to war crimes, consent — especially by people with power — is complicity. Complicity with war crimes is itself … a war crime.
But once you know the story, it’s actually easy to understand Baldwin’s indifference.
The “Israel-can-do-no-wrong” lobby
Podcaster Sabby Sabbs took a deep dive into a portion of a recent Ralph Nader interview by Briahna Joy Gray on her Bad Faith podcast with legendary consumer advocate and political reformer Ralph Nader. Sabby dug into some of the dollar figures backing up Nader’s view that the pro-Israel lobby industry and their various billionaire-backed PACs and PAC employees, donors and moles long ago purchased and compromised the United States congress, squeezing out any real opposition to the US/Israeli genocide being carried out in Gaza.
In a recent call for a ceasefire, only 20 members of the House stood up for the moral position to stop the slaughter. The reason for such moral cowardice is due to what Nader calls the “Israel-can-do-no-wrong” lobby.
“You can’t get a member of congress to even mouth the words ‘the Palestinian families and people have a right to defend themselves.’” Nader notes.
While the left will get tens of thousands to march for a ceasefire in DC, Israel’s quiet, subtle, massively well-funded behind-the-scenes lobbying effort cuts peace protests off at the knees as effectively as a US anti-personnel bomb dropped by an Israeli air force bomber can slice the legs off a six-year old in a Gazan refugee camp.
The media plays its role by complying with well orchestrated, highly selective news coverage and choice of wording to vilify Palestinians and minimize their losses and suffering, while painting Israel as an entirely innocent needy friend and ally. Or, as is often the case, simply ignores the story and the massive Middle East build-up of US troops and military supplies and over 60 attacks on US service members entirely.
Tammy makes her BIG TIME score!
So Sabby went to OpenSecrets.org to see where the money has gone; who has pocketed the most.
Well, guess who was the Number Four Israeli lobby freeloader in 2018, during her last election? None other than our own Sen. Tammy Baldwin! Sabbs notes OpenSecrets showed Baldwin has raked in a total of $422,990 in Israeli lobby cash during her DC gig.
So now you know why Tammy Baldwin can quietly acquiesce and assist in the slaughter of infants and children in Gaza.
Heck, through her well-paid silence, Tammy is even perfectly content to help fund Israel’s brutal, calculated destruction of every single hospital in Gaza. Talk about taking a stand!
Talk about earning your money.
She recently cynically signed on to a ‘Band-Aid’ bill calling for a gesture of relief aid to Gaza to help those battered and bloodied being pushed out of the US/Israeli genocide meat grinder.
But a cease fire? An end to the killing? Get real, heck, no! Tammy’s up for reelection this year and she needs more of that Israeli genocide money to pump out propaganda about what a great person she is. Hopefully they can scrub the blood off her paws before she has to shake any hands of constituents.
Permanent ceasefire, senator!
As for this former democrat’s vote?
Fuhgeddaboudit.
I won’t support war criminals of either corporate-owned party.
I’ll write in “Children of Gaza” on my ballot.
