These "Profiles in (Academia's) Courage" revelations (tellingly, this is but one of many) bring to mind that scene in "Alien" in which the creature erupts from the chest of the John Hurt character Kane. Just gruesome and gut-wrenching to watch. Perfect metaphor for the Zionist takeover of our institutions, our country. “Israel ‘R’ Us.”

Along these lines, “Secretary of State Marco Rubio... stated that one of the reasons for acting against Mahdawi was that he had ‘engaged in threatening rhetoric and intimidation of pro-Israeli bystanders.’”

Did Rubio (and Bondi, for that matter) get his law degree by filling out the back of a matchbook cover?

I do think there is a wide-spread belief in what you say about the US being taken over by the Zionists, and good reasons for thinking that. But, I have been wondering about this hypothetical: Can we really believe that if the Zionists, along with Israel, were to give up their weapons, and make peace with the Palestinians, that the USA would do the same?

Having a hard time picturing that? Yeah, me too.

Yaweh wants more dead. Judaism is foundationally genocidal.

No, Joy, neither can I picture that happening. I think it needs to be borne in mind that the present genocide is an acute manifestation of the American Empire's approach to the rest of the world. As such, Israel/the Zionists are revealing that each is a "culture of death," which I initially thought was attributable to Norman Finkelstein (though he may indeed have used it), but apparently goes back to Pope John Paul II https://www.clmagazine.org/post/pro-life-basics-what-is-the-culture-of-death/.

I guess it's a continuation of sorts of the ancient practice of human sacrifice, only this time to placate the gods of capitalism and Zionism.
