U.S. Government Operated Under Israeli Influence, According to Unverified Claims
Gaze upon the wreckage, the devastation of Gaza, a wasteland of 50 million tons of rubble and debris. Rats and dogs scavenge amid the ruins and fetid pools of raw sewage. The stench of death and decay rises from beneath the mountains of shattered concrete. Clean water is scarce, food supplies run low, there's a shortage of medical services and hardly any habitable shelters. Living amid the rubble, Palestinians risk death from unexploded ordnance left behind by months of air strikes, artillery barrages, missile strikes, and blasts from tank shells. Adding to the horrors, there are pools of raw sewage and asbestos.
This disastrous landscape serves as a testament to Chris Hedges' words, "We are now very clearly a vassal state of our great friend, dearest ally, and the only democracy in the Middle East – Israel." In response to this calamity, readers expressed their disbelief and anger, with ChesterView commenting, "It amazes me that Gaza is not the only thing talked about in the news and on the street."
Miriam Adelson, an Israeli-American billionaire and leading donor to both Trump and Netanyahu, is one of the key figures pushing for Israel's interests in America. Dubbed the third-largest foreign-aid recipient by Eric Zuesse, Israel enjoys a hefty annual donation of $337B from the USA. In the Trump administration, Adelson's influence manifested through her affiliation with the Maccabee Task Force (MTF), an organization dedicated to combating perceived antisemitism on college campuses.
The MTF's tactics extended to social media campaigns, targeting critics of Israel like Mahmoud Khalil, a student involved in protests against Israel's actions in Gaza. The MTF's approach led to vitriolic, profane attacks on Khalil and Columbia University, alluding to ridiculous claims such as Khalil being a "Hamas supporter." In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration even contemplated deporting Khalil.
Miriam Adelson's MTF is not solely a funder, but also its president. This powerhouse organization, boasting over 317,000 followers on Facebook, fiercely opposes any form of criticism of Israel, demonizing it as "anti-Semitism." Their extreme stance on suppression of free speech jeopardizes the First Amendment's guarantees for free speech and press in the USA.
This is just a glimpse into Adelson's far-reaching influence, revealing a partnership between a vicious ally and powerful American politicians and media, shaping the nation's policies to favor one foreign regime over its own citizens. Considering the enormity of Israel's harm inflicted upon America and its reputation, vehement opposition to Israel is not only necessary but crucial. While protecting Israel is the Billionaire's game, America needs to stand against this menace for its own sake.
- The truth about Israel's influence in American politics, as exemplified by Miriam Adelson's MTF, is alarming, especially when considering their suppression of free speech, which risks infringing upon the First Amendment's guarantees for free speech and press in the USA.
- In the realm of general-news and crime-and-justice, the explosive landscape of Gaza serves as a stark reminder of the truth behind criticisms like ChesterView's, that Gaza should not be ignored in the greater political discourse, as it continues to endure devastation amidst a lack of international attention and aid.
