When, as expected, President Joe Biden signs off on the Antisemitism Awareness Act the Department of Education will be empowered to send so-called antisemitism monitors to enforce civil rights law at public schools as well as at colleges to observe and report on levels of hostility towards Jews. The monitors’ reports will eventually wind up in Congress which can propose remedies as required, including cutting funding and recommending civil rights charges in extreme cases. One of the more regrettable features of the act is that it accepts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism as it applies to the state of Israel, making criticism of the Jewish state ipso facto antisemitism. Its text includes the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity” as an antisemitic act. In reality, however, actual antisemitism is not as prevalent as Israel partisans claim. Most of what they call antisemitism is simply criticism of the legally self-proclaimed apartheid “Jewish State” and most of the animosity Israel experiences is opposition to its brutal treatment of the Palestinians. Giving legal sanction to that presumption that Israel must be protected from bigots means that the United States is well on the way to forbidding any criticism of Israel at all. Americans can criticize their own country or nations in Europe, or at least they are able to do so currently, but bad-mouthing Israel could soon constitute a criminal offense.

The Antisemitism Awareness Act is just one aspect of how the power of organized Jewish groups over the government and media is shaping the kind of society that Americans will be living in in the near future. It will be a society devoid of several fundamental constitutional rights, like free speech, due to deference to the preferences of one tiny demographic. And the one most interesting aspect of that power is how it has successfully hidden the fact that it even exists while also propagating the myth that Jews and Israel are especially worthy of special consideration because they are frequently or even always perceived as victims, an extension of the holocaust myth.

Indeed, Israel is recently always in the news and most often completely protected by the media and the talking heads elements, particularly true if one sinks to watching Fox or reading the Wall Street Journal, New York Times or Washington Post. Even the loathsome Benjamin Netanyahu frequently gets good press while nonviolent student peace demonstrators are invariably described as anti-Israeli or pro-Hamas terrorists even when they are assaulted by Zionist thugs led by an Israeli special ops officer and funded and armed by Jewish billionaires as occurred recently in Los Angeles.

Nevertheless, sometimes something slips through the defenses that reveals all too clearly what is going on. In responding to a question from a journalist, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken made a claim recently that absolutely no one who has spent any time in Washington will believe. The journalist had asked whether the Federal Government in making its foreign policy decisions tended to favor and/or excuse the behavior of some countries while condemning others for exactly the same actions. Blinken replied “We apply the same standard to everyone. And that doesn’t change whether the country in question is an adversary, a competitor, a friend or an ally.”

Everyone in the room understood very clearly that Blinken wasn’t telling the truth and was trying to preserve the fiction that the United States holds allies and clients to the same “rules based international order” standard that it uses for others, most notably competitor nations like Russia and China or adversaries like Iran. No one takes what Blinken says seriously in any event, and it does not help his general credibility when he feels compelled to lie for no reason whatsoever.

Would that someone in the room had had the temerity to cite one of Blinken’s most egregiously partisan comments, his greeting to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the airport tarmac of Ben Gurion airport shortly after the October 7th Hamas attack. He said “I come before you as a Jew. I understand on a personal level the harrowing echoes that Hamas’s massacres carry for Israeli Jews – indeed, for Jews everywhere.” It prompted one to mutter, “No Anthony, you are the Secretary of States of the United States of America. You are there to represent American interests in avoiding a major war in the Middle East, not to represent the interests of your tribe by declaring yourself one of them.”

The Blinken meeting with Netanyahu was particularly telling as few in Washington would doubt that the Joe Biden White House and Congress have totally surrendered to Israeli interests rather than serving the needs of their constituents in the United States. Paul Craig Roberts describes it as “The US Congress has become an extension of the Israeli government.” To answer the journalist’s question honestly Blinken should have admitted that the Biden government is fully committed to protecting Israel and even its perceived interests when they conflict with normal US policy. On Wednesday the Biden administration indicated that it has indefinitely delayed a required report investigating potential Israeli war crimes in Gaza that was supposed to be released by the US State Department. If the report had concluded, which it should have, that Israel violated international humanitarian law, the US would have to stop sending foreign aid due to the Leahy Law, which makes it illegal for the US government to provide aid to any foreign security forces found to be committing “gross violations of human rights.” So Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken decided to deep six the report instead to protect Israel by breaking US law, though they have reportedly delayed one shipment of bombs lest they be used on civilians in Rafah. Nevertheless, Biden clearly means what he says when he repeatedly stumbles to confirm that US security guarantees to Israel are “ironclad.” Indeed, the tie with the Jewish state goes well beyond what is generally due to anyone even described as an ally, which Israel, also no democracy, is not in any event, as an alliance requires both reciprocity and a precise understanding of the red lines in the relationship.

Nothing illustrates the total subservience of Washington to Israel better than how the United States is unnecessarily getting itself involved in an argument that might well prove to be a major embarrassment as well as trouble in America’s relationship with many foreign states. And, as is often the case, it involves Israel. There have been confirmed reports that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague is preparing to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and two other senior Israeli officials in connection with war crimes related to the ongoing genocide directed against the Gazans. Netanyahu is reportedly reaching wildly out to his many “friends” to prevent such a development. And, in line with Washington-Jerusalem thinking that every good crisis deserves an excessive use of force or even a military solution, there are already reports that pressure, including threats, is being exerted both by Israel and the US against the jurists on the court and even directed against their families. The Israeli government warned the Biden administration that if the ICC issues arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, it will take retaliatory steps against the Palestinian Authority that could lead to its collapse, further destabilizing the region. Israel is also conducting a parallel diplomatic channels outreach in Europe to convince the local governments to advise their representatives on the court that it would be desirable to squash its investigation.

Netanyahu, who called President Joe Biden and asked for help, has in response to news reports tweeted that Israel “will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defense. The threat to seize the soldiers and officials of the Middle East’s only democracy and the world’s only Jewish state is outrageous. We will not bow to it.” Netanyahu also denounced the possible warrants as an “unprecedented antisemitic hate crime.” As ICC deliberations are secret it would appear that an American or British jurist must have leaked the story to enable Netanyahu to mount a campaign against it. The White House and Congress are already moving full speed ahead to make the warrants go away and are exploring options to directly confront and discredit the court if the Israelis are actually punished.

The US has nothing to gain and much to lose in confronting the ICC as the court is generally well respected. And more might be coming. There are reports that prosecutors from the ICC have interviewed medical staff at two of Gaza’s largest hospitals in their investigation of other possible war crimes committed by Israel in connection with the mass graves recently discovered. ICC was founded in 2002 as a last resort court to deal with war crimes and crimes against humanity that were not addressable otherwise. The court was established by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute). Israel is not a party to the Rome Statute and does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction. However, should a warrant in Netanyahu’s name be issued, his travel could be restricted, as the 123 countries that recognize the court may consider themselves obliged to arrest him.

As of March 2023, there were 123 member states of the Court. The United States is no longer a member because on May 6th, 2002, the United States, having previously signed the Rome Statute, formally withdrew its signature and indicated that it did not intend to ratify the agreement. Another state that has withdrawn its signature is the Sudan while some states that have never become parties to the Rome Statute include India, Indonesia, and China. United States policy concerning the ICC has varied by administration. The Clinton administration signed the Rome Statute in 2000, but did not submit it for Senate ratification. The George W. Bush administration, which was the US administration at the time of the ICC’s founding, stated that it would not join the ICC. The Obama administration subsequently re-established a working relationship with the Court as an observer. There has been no change in the status since that time, but the relationship is regarded as inactive.

What will the United States do to bail out Israel one more time? It has already made its position known. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre stated “We’ve been really clear about the ICC investigation. We do not support it. We don’t believe that they have the jurisdiction.” Deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel doubled down on that declaring “Our position is clear. We continue to believe that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over the Palestinian situation.” The White House was joined by leading congressional Republicans. Zionist Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has pressured the White House and State Department to “use every available tool to prevent such an abomination,” explaining how conceding the point to ICC “would directly undermine US national security interests. If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel.”

There is a precedent to the US taking action against the ICC. On September 2, 2020, the United States government imposed sanctions on the ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, in response to an investigation by the court into US war crimes in Afghanistan, so there is some sensitivity to the fact that as the US is the world’s leading source of war crimes, it would be wise to delegitimize agencies that would look too deeply into that fact. But the ICC sometimes has its uses as when the Biden administration publicly welcomed a war crimes investigation by the ICC against Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. Asked why the United States supported an International Criminal Court investigation into Russian officials, Patel declared that “There is no moral equivalency between the kinds of things that we see [Russian President Vladimir Putin] and the Kremlin undertake in comparison to the Israeli government,” once again demonstrating that what Blinken said to the journalist was nonsense.

The Republican Party is seeking to outdo the White House in demonstrating its love for Israel. A letter signed by twelve GOP Senators was sent to Karim Khan, chief prosecutor on the ICC. The letter threatens members of the court over the possible indictment of Netanyahu and company. The group of 12 Republican senators who I like to refer to as the “Dirty Dozen” due to the large political contributions they receive from pro-Israel sources, sent a letter to the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan that threatens “severe sanctions” if the court goes ahead with the plan to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his Defense Minister and one other senior official. The letter, dated April 24, referenced the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, a law that authorizes the president to use any means to free any US personnel detained by the ICC even though it does not apply to Israel. It says, ridiculously, that “If you issue a warrant for the arrest of the Israeli, we will interpret this not only as a threat to Israel’s sovereignty but as a threat to the sovereignty of the United States” and goes on to deny that the ICC even has jurisdiction to issue warrants since Israel is not a member of the court. The apparent drafter, Senator Tom Cotton, was seemingly unaware that Palestine is a member of the ICC and the arrest warrants would be based on war crimes committed by Israel on its nominal territory, Gaza and the West Bank.

The letter concludes with a heavy-handed threat: “The United States will not tolerate politicized attacks by the ICC on our allies. Target Israel and we will target you. If you move forward with the measures indicated in this report, we will move to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and your associates, and bar you and your family from the United States. You have been warned.” A few days later, the ICC issued a statement condemning the threats made against the court and said attempts to “impede, intimidate, or improperly influence” ICC officials must “cease immediately.” The 12 Republican senators who signed on to the letter include Mitch McConnell, Tom Cotton, Marsha Blackburn, Katie Boyd Britt, Ted Budd, Kevin Cramer, Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Pete Ricketts, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Tim Scott. Only Lindsay Graham was missing and he was probably busy drumming up support for his plan to “destroy the enemies of the state of Israel.” Cotton, who has recommended that people who are inconvenienced by protesters should confront them and beat them up, has also introduced legislation denying college loan relief to students who faced state or federal charges while demonstrating against the deaths in Gaza. Some other Republican congressmen who are short on brain cells but strong on Israel are seeking to have protesters “convicted of unlawful activity on the campus of an American university since October 7th 2023” deported to do six months community service in Gaza, though how that would be implemented is not clear. Congressman Randy Weber of Texas explained “If you support a terrorist organization and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”

So the United States will again go to bat for Israel and Israel will ignore what comes out and dodge any consequences. The real losers in the process will be the American people, who more clearly than ever will see and hopefully recognize that they have a government that spends an awful lot of time and money on Israel and doing things that are being promoted by Jewish groups. We have a legislature and executive branch that have been corrupted and compromised from top to bottom, always doing what is wrong for the most selfish reasons, often out of loyalty to foreign governments like Israel that could care less. The United States was once a symbol of freedom and opportunity. Now it has become an international embarrassment.

  1. Even those, whose sympathy is with Israel, should pause and wonder why US border protection, US crime, US homeless are less important than the borders of Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan!

    This is the attractiveness of Trump’s America first.

  2. AIPAC & The Dirty Dozen

    Cash rec’d from AIPAC during the CURRENT (’23-’24) election cycle for Dirty Dozen Senators up for reelection:

    Marsha Blackburn, $269,631
    Kevin Cramer, $299,912
    Ted Cruz, $327,597
    Pete Ricketts, $147,672
    Rick Scott, $238,128

    Since these folks just voted $17 billion in aid for Israel, I’d have to say AIPAC is getting an incredible return on investment.

But given the indifference of international authorities with the child genocide in Palestine, from now on anywhere in the world where something similar occurs, it would be fair to grant the same indifference and legal impunity.

    I guess I will be in trouble soon, as I hate Jews for the simple reason that they are evil. Jesus warns about Jews in John chapter 8 verse 44 when he declares that ALL Jews are the “children of Satan.” Jesus goes on to warn everybody about the Satanic Jews in the Book of Revelation. Anyway, I hate evangelicals even more than Jews because they are traitors and terrorists just like the Jews are. However, these Fake Christians (evangelicals) should know better. Jesus and his words bounce right off the heads of Born-Again Christians. As for Jews, no one should expect them to be anything but Jews and to act like Jews.

They tell me that the Best Cuban Salseros were not CREATING in Cuba, they all had been forced to flee to America..IF yu wanted to hear Celia Cruz, Benny More, Ruben Blades you had to go to NYC. The Spanish Exiles, the early Gay writers, the Hollywood Film industry coudl never had flourished in Russia.,even Albert Einstein, could not work in their home coutries they came to America under the solid protectio of the First Amendment. The Amtisemitsm Act will destroy the Fisrt Amendment absolutely and teh most HUMAN fundamental intrincisc natural condition; freedom of Ideas. The corollary to that antismeitism legislation cancer, is the fact that all this irrational/illegal/inmoral support for Israel is costing the USA losing key allies in the world. It seems that the USA/American poliitical establishment does not understand that the Jewish/Zionists/Israeli Bankers can pick up their business and set up shop somewhere else all over eh world incluuding Russia/China/Brazil/SAfricano matter either friends or foes to America. Once America begins to languish and eventually perish politcally/financially/economically/MILITARILLY etc. The jews will flee, just like they had been doing since ancient times. WE Americasn will be left holding the DEBTS, all the blames, all the HATE from all over the planet.

  15. Empire Managers Explain Why This New Protest Movement Scares Them by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

    https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/05/09/empire-managers-explain-why-this-new-protest-movement-scares-them/

    The United States secretary of state and a Bilderberg surveillance tech oligarch have both made some very interesting admissions about the burgeoning protest movement against the United States-backed slaughter in Gaza and the problems it poses for the empire they help run.

    During a vitriolic rant about university demonstrators at the Ash Carter Exchange on Innovation and National Security on Tuesday, Palantir CEO Alex Karp came right out and said that if those on the side of the protesters win the debate on this issue, the west will lose the ability to wage wars.

    For those who do not know, Palantir is a Central Intelligence Agency-backed surveillance and data mining tech company with intimate ties to both the United States intelligence cartel and to Israel, playing a crucial role in both the United States empires sprawling surveillance network and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. Karp is a billionaire who sits on the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group and regularly features at the World Economic Forum and other platforms of plutocratic empire management.

  16. Well it transpires – that Cameron in 2011 the descendant of Dutch rabbis introduced regulations that exempted personages from arrest

    There are „special mission“ exemptions which prevent arrest on British soil of people indicted or wanted for human rights violation. This benefits mainly Israel

    Israel does not give a rat’s ass about what all of humanity thinks of their Gaza Genocide.

    However the owners and the masters behind the curtains running the United States Empire are starting to panic because the charade of ” land of the free and home of the brave ” is being destroyed.

    Israel is a brutal-blood thirsty-degenerate- monster kept in power by the government of these United States.

    We are worse than Israel because we encourage what they do and call ourselves the good guys in the white hats.

    We are the opposites of all that we claim to be!

  19. “The United States was once a symbol of freedom and opportunity. Now it has become an international embarrassment.”

    Actually, we are only embarrassment to the non-Western world like the third world and Brics. The other Western countries like Britain, France, Germany, etc. are experiencing the same plague of “de-civilization” as the U.S. is, in fact, their destruction occurred earlier because they don’t have that irritating obstacle to Jewish control, The Bill of Rights.

    That’s why I think Putin will take Oddessa, push up to the river, divide and return the historical territory North of the river to Poland, Romania and Belarus. Returning their historical land back to them will please them tremendously and will avoid Russia a great deal of pain. It will avoid Russia two important problems, the first is eliminating any foothold for British fuckery and US regime change operations across the border, the second is to free Russia from having to administer a non-Russian ethnicity in the North of Ukraine.
    This has the potential to break NATO appart.

  28. Cotton, who has recommended that people who are inconvenienced by protesters should confront them and beat them up…

    This suggestion highlights how afraid Netanyahu and his congressional puppets are of the potential effect that those protestors can have when working together constructively with university staff. Yet with regard to the important matter of what is actually being done by conscientious activists to counteract the ominous developments and threats described in this report, it is noteworthy that the author failed to mention any specific and reasonable demands being made by campus demonstrators, for instance that universities divest their financial holdings of companies with strong ties to Israel and institute a boycott against academics from Israel who support their government’s genocidal campaign against the population in Gaza.

    Avoiding this issue conveniently enabled the author to not take a position when he ought to have strongly commended such public demands as a practical exercise in putting pressure on such institutions of higher learning, which are explicitly being targeted by the legislation seeking to re-define the already nebulous term “antisemitism” because that would encroach upon their duty to fulfill their stated obligation to teach excellence. If the legislation gets passed by the Senate and signed by Biden, this could make it more difficult for university administrators to actually implement the student demands, which they have expressed a willingness to entertain and pursue.

    For additional context, see my comment on a parallel thread three days ago:

    “The United States was once a symbol of freedom and opportunity. ” It never was. From its inception, the U.S. was not dissimilar to Israel today. American Indigenous people were subjected to an array of injustice, including mass murder, starvation, genocide and being displaced from their traditional lands and relocated on concentration camps (“reserves”). Indigenous cultural practices were denied, and subsequently obliterated. Black slaves were not treated differently.
    Today, the mass killings of Palestinian women and children is coverup and normalized by the Jewish media and Western politicians in countries where people allegedly enjoying “freedom” and “democracy”. Look at students who are protesting against the ongoing Genocide on university campuses in the U.S. and Western countries who have been attacked, imprisoned and denied their basic human rights. “Freedom”, “democracy” and “opportunity” were a distortion of reality manufactured to promote Western “Superiority”. You have to be as blind as a U.S. congressman, a Jew or an Australian “Liberal” to buy into this criminal U.S.-Zionist propaganda.

    Any decent, honest, people working for these groups must reckon with loss of income, and the impossibility of new work when The Swarm of Judeofascists and their Sabbat Goy stooges have you on their black-lists. And slander and opprobrium as a ‘Jew-hater’ of course, and the social ostracism that attends that libel.

    It’s right up there in priority — but per a report by the NYT about the recent vote in the House on the ‘foreign aid’ bill, protecting Taiwan is actually ‘Washington’s number one job’ — there were separate votes on each package (Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, TikTok/Iran), and aid to Taiwan received the fewest no votes — the ‘TikTok ban/Iran sanctions’ part tied with Israel for the second fewest no votes — more money for Ukraine was the least popular.

    The US ‘paused’ the delivery of such weapons because Gaza is now totally turned to rubble, so they are no longer required.

    The Jews have been sucking our tax money both home and abroad for years. I saw a German/Jew politician years back state that the goal was make sure that actual Germans do my seee one penny of their tax money. Having gone to hear a FREE lecture on “Government Grants and Loans” the first thing out of the Jews mouth after “Hello” was “If you are a white male there is nothing here for you. Marry a minority woman.” He also kept repeating how “you get someone else to pay for it.” So obviously hearing a German/Jew say that a few years later had me thinking “they are doing that to ALL white countries . Violating OUR rights for a foreign country is both treason and tyranny and SHOULD activate second amendment remedies!!! I didn’t make the rules but one expert some years back told our government that the purpose of the second amendment was to come after THEM!! I recall sucker of Jewish cock McCain laughing when he told them that. The video has long since disappeared from Jew Tube.

    There is a quote from Netanyahu where he says the Jews will basically suck the US dry and let us blow away in the wind. Jews/Israel are directly and indirectly responsible for the majority of our current debt as lying Jew cunt Yellin tells America we can afford to fund two Jew wars at a time in Ukriane and Israel. We have every right to stop these people and those who aid and abet them with force if necessary.

    The book “How the Jews Defeated Hitler” by Jew Benjamin Ginsberg vindicates Lindbergh as the apparent respected Jew admits Jews did everything and MORE than Lindbergh said they did. This same Jew author recently published a book telling Jews to ally with the white they have been attacking for the last 100+ years. Obviously the dog whistle is working as disgusting Jews like Ben Shapiro are all supportive of traditional America and pretend Jews didn’t work at destroying it.

    A few days later, the ICC issued a statement condemning the threats made against the court and said attempts to “impede, intimidate, or improperly influence” ICC officials must “cease immediately.”

    Well actually, alone based on this letter, the ICC should issue warrants against all the signatories of this letter for interfering with the court proceedings.

    It’s actually absurd if they don’t.

  36. The Israelis probably have a sufficient stockpile of weapons to finish
    the destruction of Rafah and kill another 50 thousand people.

    If that’s the case, then stopping the shipment of weapons would have
    little or no effect for a couple of months, and that’s assuming
    Biden is telling the truth or has the capacity to be honest.

    We should prepare ourselves to feign shock when we learn that the
    money sent to Ukraine and Israel ends up in offshore bank accounts
    owned by Congressmen and Senators under fake names,
    or more likely in crypto accounts.
