"The most outspoken critics of Israel have often been Jews" - and that's perfectly fine for the purposes of control. Create an illusion of "democracy" while dismissing them in reality. All the while keep doing what you're doing..

That's been the successful MO so far.

The hater is back> an example of a Jew who has been attacked by AIPAC for calling out Israel for murder is NOam Chomsky. No one in our lifetimes has been more influential in teaching us the mechanisms of control and challenging us to confront it. Another group of Jews in Israel are the people who write for Haaretz and on a daily basis denounce the regime. These people pay a price for standing up and speaking truth to power. Haaratz nor Chomsky are claiming Israel (or the US) is a democracy but calling out the slid into fascism, as Einstein did in 1948. They are no part of control but the challenge to control. You are an idiot with your stupid fake name. Please leave me alone; you are not only obnoxious but boring.

Look for the transcript I'm going to publish of Joti Brar explaining the scam of the Labor party in Britain. It is exactly the same as the one the Democrats use here in the US.

Do note this quote:

"Zionism is not optional for a British career politician at a high level -- it's mandatory."

Here's the link to the entire episode. Brar nails it. The problem is capitalism.

Thank you JohnOnKaui for the link to Joti Brar. Her Marxist analysis of capitalism and imperialism is one that the people of the global south have been aware of, and struggling against for ever. And the good people of the West should make themselves acquainted with, if there's going to be an escape from the present inferno.

Wading through Caitlin's comment page - and getting exceedingly disappointed by the way some go hammer and tongs at each other indulging in hairsplitting - it was a relief to come across your link to Joti Brar.

She is often on Garland Nixon's show. She's like a wrecking ball. Nothing stands against her logic.

May I suggest Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff.

Especially their interviews with Robinson Erhardt on YouTube. For people who are already familiar with what Hudson and Wolff have to say, these interviews reveal so much more.
