Bobby, when you first announced your candidacy with a short video, my heart was touched. And I know others who were brought to tears. We sensed the truth and hope in your message. You have a long history of fighting corporate corruption, crusading for the environment, challenging institutional capture, and winning major lawsuits against the likes of Monsanto. With the Children’s Health Defense, you scientifically addressed “the great poisoning”[1] that recent generations have faced that has resulted in a spectrum of conditions from autism to auto-immune disorders, as well as the myriad negative consequences from the mRNA jab. Now, you were promising to unite America by addressing the needs that most Americans recognize: better health, better food, a better environment, more community, and fewer foreign entanglements. It was a long shot, but I thought you might be able to save us from the sorry choices for president we are facing.
Eventually, however, I learned about your advocacy for Israel, a position so extreme that you consider Israel’s mass atrocity to be not only justified but somewhat restrained. Very telling was your second appearance on BreakingPoints[2] when you defended Israel with Zionist talking points. I was shocked. I saw a profound contradiction of the values I thought you had professed your whole life. I was as shocked as I would have been if I learned that you had defended the apartheid regime in South Africa. The world no longer argues whether Israel is an apartheid state; the argument is now over the word “genocide.”

And admit that Israel’s unimaginable bombing
I used to think that you had a special capacity for discerning truth from falsehood. You have certainly done this when you were assessing the truthfulness of Big Pharma, the biotechnology industry, the CIA, FDA, or the CDC. But when it comes to Palestine, your trusted sources are the Israeli government and the mainstream American media, which only parrot the Israeli/Zionist side of the story. Are you listening to the Jewish academic Norman Finklestein[3], who so effectively debunks the Zionist narratives? Or this website that objectively offers the facts:

And in all the justifications for Israel’s current massacre is the complete disregard for International Humanitarian Law, the “laws of war” which any civilized nation must follow whether or not a war is justified or not.
How can our politicians and journalists be so ignorant of the human rights violations that the Palestinian people have endured? And how can they justify Israel’s soul-crushing control of every detail of Palestinian life, as is thoroughly described in a recent piece from Al Jazeera[4]. And what would anyone expect from a dehumanized, tortured people who have tried negotiations, who have seen their non-violent protests brutally suppressed, who have borne the indiginities of Israel’s periodic “mowing the lawn,” each of which equaled or surpassed the killings of February 6 in civilian deaths.
Is America’s “iron-clad” support of Israel anything other than a willful ignorance based on profound prejudice and maintained by a media largely owned and operated by a control system that is not on the side of humanity?
One of the ways that many in the West are able to demonize the Palestinian people, and Muslims in general, is by projecting on them this beast of violent Islamic extremism. The psychological phenomenon of “projection” is to ascribe to another that which one is guilty of but is not ready to see or admit. Many Americans believe Palestinians are, by nature or circumstance, terrorists and followers of an ideological religion that, in the name of God, intends to impose a totalitarian system on the world. Such a belief has no historical or theological basis.
Islamic societies have generally been more tolerant of religious diversity than Christian societies. Too many in the West have invented a monster from their own subconscious. The monster is a projection of the West’s unconscious and unacknowledged dark side, aided and abetted by a media that has only told one side of the story. There is no excuse for this ignorance, especially since it is the powers of the West that have killed more than 1 million Muslims in the last 25 years!
To understand how deep this bias goes, we only need to site people like yourself, or dear Tulsi Gabbard, or Jordan Peterson, all relative humanitarian idealists compared to most in the public eye, who have parroted the Zionist lie that Hamas intends to kill every Jew on earth.
About ten years ago, while writing an article for Huffington Post[5], I decided to check this out and read the Hamas charter for the first time. I did not find any such threat. While it is true that the position of Hamas, admittedly the most extreme Palestinian party, is the replacement of the state of Israel with a Palestinian state, the Hamas Charter is explicit about its relations with non-Muslims. Here is a direct quote from that charter:
Hamas is a humane movement that cares for human rights and is committed to the tolerance inherent in Islam as regards attitudes towards other religions. It is only hostile to those who are hostile towards it, or stand in its way, disturb its moves or frustrate its efforts. Under the shadow of Islam, it is possible for the members of the three religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism to coexist in safety and security. Safety and security can only prevail under the shadow of Islam, and recent and ancient history is the best witness to that effect. . . Islam confers upon everyone their legitimate rights. Islam prevents the incursion on other people's rights… “God does not forbid you to show kindness and deal justly with those who warred not against you on account of religion and didn’t drive you out from your houses, for God loves those who act justly.” (Quran, Sura 60 - Al-Mumtahana - verse 8).
This quote from the Hamas charter clearly states: Under the shadow of Islam, it is possible for the members of the three religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism to coexist in safety and security. This Islamic principle is supported by the history of Palestine prior to the creation of Israel.
The repetition of the lie that “From the river to the sea…” means to kill all the Jews, is part of the “Mind War” of Zionism, whereas it is actually Israel that sings this tune and is on the verge of killing all Palestinians and greedily taking over Palestinian territories.
You have declared that Palestinians are indoctrinated with hate from childhood on. Do you not know that Israeli society is at least as indoctrinated with hate?
Sadly, there will always be a militant minority on both sides that call for the destruction of the other, but in Palestine, at least, that extremism would dwindle into insignificance if the Palestinians were given sovereignty and a return to their pre-1967 borders as was ruled by the United Nations. Because this possibility has been frustrated, we now have the situation we’re in.
The Israeli newspapers Jerusalem Post and Haaretz News once asked Henry Kissinger if he had predicted the end of Israel. The question was raised after a 2012 New York Times report quoted former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger as saying that “support for Israel in the United States is waning and Israel will cease to exist in the next ten years.”
Not only Israel, but the United States, Britain, and other Western European nations may one day be held to account for the mass atrocity of Gaza. A second Nuremberg may be forthcoming if there is any justice in the world. And few in the US Congress are innocent of these war crimes. And most of our major media will be shown to be complicit in what has gone down. And if there are spiritual laws, if there is a divine order, if there is karma, the guilty parties in this infamy will face what they have brought up upon themselves. The mask is already off for those with eyes to see.
Where do we go from here? At the moment, it seems there is little hope that anyone likely to be our next President will constrain this insanity. Your refusal to condemn the Palestinian Holocaust is going to weaken the support you had from many idealistic people in this country, especially the young.
The Atlantic Alliance (US & UK) and Western Europe will stand alone in support of the apartheid Zionist state. More of the same will only lead to increasing isolation, a perpetual state of siege, the growing abhorrence by the majority of humanity, and possibly the end of Israel itself, as Henry Kissinger predicted. The United States will not always be able to support Israel financially and, meanwhile, a quarter of Israelis, the best and the brightest, are considering leaving Israel.
Bobby, if you are really on the side of humanity and what is truly best for the Israeli people, you still have a chance to reconsider your unconditional support for these atrocities and be on the right side of history. Express your support for a permanent ceasefire, a moratorium on the shipment of arms to Israel, much greater emergency assistance for the people of Palestine, and holding Israel morally and financially accountable for the destruction of Gaza.
