The state of Israel is reviled by most people in the world as a genocidal, war criminal nation. Money, influence peddling, and brute force ensure that international condemnation is not allowed to thwart zionist and imperialist objectives.
“I have many jobs as [Senate] leader... and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs,” - Charles Schumer, Democratic Party Leader in the U.S. Senate
Perhaps we should be grateful that Senator Schumer grudgingly acknowledged that he has some responsibilities other than giving public money to Israel. Although it must be said that he and his colleagues display no such level of seriousness about acting on behalf of the people of this country. They are far more interested in carrying water for oligarchs and collaborating with the people they claim to oppose.
His recent remarks were actually rather tame when one considers the reach of zionist influence around the world, especially in the “collective west” of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States. These nations are sometimes willing imperialist partners in crime while also being victimized by zionist pressure campaigns. The determination to ensure that a pariah nation, that is committing genocide, maintains political and financial support, that millions of people don’t want to give, requires that both political manipulation and gangsterish force be applied at the most opportune moments.
Public approval of Israel in the U.S. has dropped significantly, with a majority of those polled, 59%, now holding negative views of that country. These opinions may be of some concern to the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) and other zionist political groups, but any worries they have are eased by following a simple and devastating playbook.
Dissenters are punished openly. When members of congress step out of line from the accepted zionist discourse they are suddenly confronted with well funded opponents. That’s what happened to Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman in 2024. And AIPAC was not shy about dancing on their political graves. “This year, AIPAC and our 5 million members across the country helped defeat 11 detractors of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!”
The newly elected progressive mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, may express solidarity with Palestine but he felt compelled to keep the Mayor’s Office to Combat Anti-Semitism that Eric Adams established. He is not alone in feeling the pressure that is applied in New York, Washington, London, and the Land Down Under.
The Donald Trump administration recently bypassed the congressional approval process to provide Israel with $6.5 billion in military aid. Joe Biden’s administration did likewise, empowering the Gaza genocide also by going around congress. The purpose of these winks and nudges is to give cover to members who would vote “yes” if asked, but who do not want to be taken to task for their support of war crimes. None of them really object to U.S. presidents making an end run around them to keep the zionist project afloat and their careers secure.
The release of the most recent Epstein files provides a glimpse into how this bad sausage gets made year after year. Very wealthy and well connected zionists, like the late Jeffrey Epstein, are Israeli state operatives using everything from sex trafficking to compromise powerful men, to bribing the diplomats who shaped the Oslo Accords. Israel’s concerns are always top of mind for presidents and prime ministers who in turn dutifully follow the directives of their benefactors and their enforcers.
Washington is not alone in facing this onslaught. The Epstein files have also created a political crisis in the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign from the leadership of the Labour party and from his office after his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney’s close relationship to Epstein came to light. McSweeney is an Irishman who was long known to be a zionist operative but who also engineered Starmer’s leadership of Labour by working with zionist individuals and groups in the UK to undermine Jeremy Corbyn.
The Ireland-born McSweeney volunteered on an Israeli kibbutz as a teenager and went on to become a leader in Labour where he spearheaded the campaign to smear Corbyn as an anti-semite and to purge him and the rest of the left out of that party.
McSweeney’s close connection with Peter Mandelson, a zionist and friend of Epstein, put him at the top of British politics and at the right arm of a prime minister. His connections were an open secret but he was finally done-in when it was revealed that he recommended Starmer’s appointment of Mandelson as ambassador to the U.S.
Mandelson’s connection with the sex trafficker Epstein was the final straw but McSweeney has always made certain that Israel’s interests were represented at the highest levels of government.
McSweeney and seemingly everyone in British politics owes their position to Trevor Chinn, a wealthy man who once said, “I’ve spent my entire life working for Israel.” Indeed he has by funding both the Labour Friends of Israel and the Conservative Friends of Israel. Zionists are nothing if non-sectarian, making sure that Conservatives and Labour in the UK and Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. know where their fortunes lie.
In the far away land of Australia, a similar story plays out. In late 2024 a kosher restaurant in Sydney and a Melbourne synagogue were firebombed. Strangely, both explosions caused only minor damage and no one was injured in either case. The identity of the perpetrators was unknown but that didn’t stop Benjamin Netanyahu from blaming Iran and launching a sucker punch personal attack on prime minister Anthony Albanese. “History will remember Albanese for what he is: a weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia's Jews." The Australians were compliant and broke off diplomatic relations with Iran and issued their own evidence-free accusations against a country that had no logical reason to target theirs.
The bizarre charges and counter charges were followed by a mass shooting on Bondi Beach near Sydney on December 14, 2025. Two men, a father and son identified as Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram, were named as the gunmen who killed 15 people that day. Sajid Akram was killed by the police and his surviving son is in custody.
Yet, as is often the case in such incidents, the two men were previously known to Australian intelligence who had been warned that they might pose security risks. They were said to be supporters of ISIS, yet were deemed not to be threats. This pattern of patsy/proxies having known links with intelligence agencies is an old story that always plays out at a convenient time.
In the aftermath of the shootings Australia immediately began enacting laws against “hate speech” with the state of Queensland declaring that the public use of phrases such as “globalize the intifada” and “from the river to the sea” may be punishable by up to two years in prison.
It seems that everyone labeled a “conspiracy theorist” believes the Rothschild family are behind all evil doing in the world. But it is difficult to sneer when it turns out that not only did Epstein brag about a $25 million agreement, “I represent the Rothschilds” with one branch of the family, but Peter Mandelson also rents a home from Nathaniel Rothschild.
Israel differs from the nations who rush to declare it an ally by being more upfront about its actions, more crass and less concerned about public relations. Sometimes niceties are obeyed and sometimes one prime minister will publicly take another to task on social media. Most importantly, millions of people who think they live in democratic nations must disabuse themselves of this notion.
While the public engage in debate about who they should vote for, the Chinns and the AIPACs of the world have already decided what their options will be. Those labeled as tinfoil hat wearing crackpots who say that the end result is pre-determined cannot be dismissed. Often that is exactly what happens in “democracies."

“...it is like a knee-jerk reaction in the U.S – this consistent, insistent and persistent anti-Caribbean policy in the U.S. from 1776 to the present.”
Most of the world would be at greater ease if Iran had a nuclear bomb.
The ceasefire brings a sense of relief but not safety. Iran showed that the empire is not invincible, but the US commitment to the doctrine of hegemony has not changed.
