"You know, if you behave in an utterly despicable fashion you invite denunciation. You want to call that anti-Semitism? It isn't. It is a response to your own bad behavior."

I do believe that you just nailed the target to the post...

Mark, have you read the RAND reports that David Ignatius referred to this past weekend?

No I haven't. It came out after my substack, which is based on Ignatius.

The Grayzone @TheGrayzoneNews

The NYPD crackdown on Columbia U students was led by a member of the school’s faculty

Rebecca Weiner is a Columbia prof who leads an NYPD intel division that maintains an office in Tel Aviv

Weiner said student "rhetoric" necessitated the violent raid

This revelation by Blumenthal was stomach-turning. And as both he and, I think Mate point out, before Oct 7 everything was quiet on campus, donors continuing to shovel into the university administrations tons of money. Now, with what we observe as genocide being carried out by Israel in response to Oct 7, the wealthy donors and their AIPAC friends are trying to silence any voice lifted in opposition. Not a good look Israel! The clip from Nixon shows how utterly inconsequential the office of the presidency has become, how passive and beholden to the Neocon-Zionist project (war at home, war abroad) at the expense of our founding credos. Shocking.

That brings up something related. I have seen several webinars being organized to "discuss" the generous funding of the protesters, in other words, they are not grassroots, but a well-funded (nefarious) movement. It makes me wonder how the "generous" funding of these protests compares to the funding of almost ALL of our US congress members by the Jewish/Israel/Semite/Zionist groups (campaign donations by PACs). Has anybody done the calculations?

On that subject of funding Congress, Judge Nap today interviews Rep Andy Biggs, who refers to DC as a “cartel;” it’s all about money. He even admits that he himself has received some financial contributions from Aipac or similar group.

Yes, he called it a "cartel," a "company town."

I think Max B also talks about Eric Adams’ ties to the Israeli lobby…another shocker.

There's no way to make actual sense of it. It's about the ideological mindset. It's a mindset that people choose in the face of reality.

Listening to Aaron Mate. He uses that word: Orwellian.
