United States Constitutional Convention, 1787 A.D.
As the Committee for the Republic (headed by John Henry) noted:
[We were there] “to be undeceived of the Orwellian propaganda of the Israel lobby, the Biden administration, Congress, and university campuses about the ongoing October 7th Israeli war in Gaza that has endured for more than three months. This grisliness has no end in sight.
Herre are the front-burner issues as the Committee sees them:
· Israel
· Palestine
· Genocide
· Expansion of the war to the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, the Red Sea, and Iran
· The criminal complicity of President Biden and Congress in Israel's indiscriminate killing.
John Henry noted: “As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, let facts be submitted to a candid world.”
“Judaism is a religion...It is not a racial category. It is not a nation-state. It is the worship of God that transcends national boundaries. [As Rabbi Dovid Weiss from New York City’s Neturei Karta repeatedly states. And as Ruben Kaebellmann, resident in Belgium, always says, “My nationality is German; my religion is Judaism, and I will have no truck with Zionist Israel.”]
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. It is a defense of Judaism in its most pristine, unsullied state.
By any rational application of the Genocide Convention, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, i.e., deliberately creating conditions of life calculated to physically destroy 2.3 million Palestinians in whole or in part.
A genocide lawsuit against Israel by South Africa is pending before the International Court of Justice in the Hague.
The Israeli government has made Gaza uninhabitable: no food, no water, no medicine, no hospitals, no shelter, no place to hide. Even churches and Israeli hostages waving white flags and speaking Hebrew are fair game to the IDF.
The United States has criminally aided and abetted Israel's genocide with billions of dollars of weapons and other military supplies, intelligence, and diplomatic support in the United Nations Security Council.
We as citizens have a duty to speak out against what our government is doing. To idle in the face of genocide is to disrespect George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Patrick Henry, among other giants of the American Revolution. They gave or risked that last full measure of devotion to make liberty, the rule of law, and the march of the mind the nation's glory.”
Here’s More Meat: Moral courage is not to be found in the United States. Speaking Truth to Power is not to be done in the New America. Will this fear and failure to attack savagery lead to general war in Southwest Asia? The United States has already invaded, occupied, and destroyed Iraq. It refuses to leave the Land Between the Two Rivers. The United States has invaded and occupied Syria, shipping its oil and grain to American forces and Kurds in Iraq. It also refuses to leave Bilad al-Sham (County of the Sun).

As Max Blumenthal remarked, did anyone condemn anything before October 7, 2023? He observed that most in Gaza now must survive on only one meal a day. On October 6, Gaza was ignored and isolated, he said. As a “terrorist” movement, Hamas had no resources to contest its situation. And the Israelis carefully calculated how to reduce their food without actually starving them, as Mr. Blumenthal remarked..
Hamas’ attack put Palestine back into history, Blumenthal commented. Yet, the Zionists claimed it was another “Holocaust” to compel the West to acquiesce in a Nazi-style Einsatz Group”, he continued. Going further, the journalist mentioned that, after the attack, the lies flowed out, with outrageous claims of butchered babies and Palestinian-raped Jewish women as well as fetuses which the Arabs cut from their Hebrew bellies. Mark Zuckerberg from FaceBook contributed money to support this dangerous nonsense, Blumenthal pointed out.
The psyop intent was to ensure Western liberals, feminists, news media, and governmental figures would back the “genocidal assault”, he observed.
Commanders in the field in the Israeli Defense Force used tank shells to knowingly fire on homes with Jewish hostages in them. They wanted to kill Jews so they could not be captured and used in hostage negotiations. The 1,200 “killed” died mostly as the result of uncontrolled Israeli fire, Blumental remarked.
Going deeper, the journalist observed the Israeli goal is the complete destruction of Hamas and Gaza, along with their inhabitants. That is “genocide”. Israeli soldiers claim there are no innocents. Zionist government officials have discussed using nuclear weapons on Gaza. The result of this attitude is, Blumenthal said, no food, water, electricity, or medicine for Gaza. Consequently, he commented, Palestinian children there have had limbs amputated without anesthesia.
Mainstream journalists are not lining up to enter Gaza and report the truth directly from there, the commentor noted. [Assuming, of course, they know what truth is.]
Blumenthal asked, “who will stop them”. Only the Axis of Resistance—the targets of the U.S. and NATO: Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and, ultimately, Iran. And Yemen’s attacks on Israel-bound or sourced shipping--is a moral military intervention, the first he had ever seen. Bombing Yemen, he added, to stop the one movement from intervening to stop genocide, the worst crime Blumenthal added, he had ever seen.
Max Blumental, journalist, author
COMMENT: What has the United Nations, with its Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, done other than wring its hands and urge compliance with it? And what about its Human Rights Office that oversees that convention? “Condemning” Apartheid Entity overreach does nothing. “Demanding” that Israel permit entry of food and medical aid simply has no force behind it. “Decrying” the unacceptable number of Palestinian deaths is like talking to the wall.
What about the “Fourth Estate”, the American press? How many articles and editorials have called for Israel to stop its genocide?
And what have the American puppet states of Europe done? Nothing except back the terrorist entity that styles itself Israel! Look at the Federal Republic of Germany! That country, which espouses human rights and civil rights, actually stated that it “expressly rejects the accusation of genocide" against Israel, and that the accusation had "no basis whatsoever".

Has the U.S. Congress, corrupt, incompetent, illegitimate, and racist, done anything except support the Apartheid Entity that calls itself Israel? It can’t even question the Biden administration’s bypassing existing law to resupply the “Jewish state” with more deadly weapons. According to the AP, “for the second time this month [December 2023], the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.”
U.S. Congress
“The State Department said Friday [December 22] that Secretary of State Antony Blinken had told Congress that he had made a second emergency determination covering a $147.5 million sale for equipment, including fuses, charges and primers, that is needed to make the 155 mm shells that Israel has already purchased function.”
“Given the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs, the secretary notified Congress that he had exercised his delegated authority to determine an emergency existed necessitating the immediate approval of the transfer,” the department said.
“The emergency determination means the purchase will bypass the congressional review requirement for foreign military sales.”
This decision and others backing the Israeli Holocaust of the Palestinians have all the earmarks of a dictatorship. Thousands of people all over the United States have demonstrated against Israeli murder of civilians seeking to overthrow a tyrannical occupation. Yet, no action is taken.
It’s past time for regime change in the Wretched States of America.
