Max Blumenthal : Netanyahu’s Domestic Woes.

Generated Summary:

This YouTube video features an interview with Max Blumenthal, discussing several key topics:

Main Topic: The intersection of domestic political scandals in Israel (specifically surrounding Netanyahu) and the ongoing geopolitical situation in Ukraine and Gaza.

Key Points:

• Ukraine War: Blumenthal highlights a New York Times article revealing the extensive US military involvement in directing Ukrainian attacks from a German base. He argues this contradicts the narrative of the US as an honest broker and suggests the US is a key belligerent. The discussion also touches on the EU's role, particularly Ursula von der Leyen's efforts to centralize power, and the weakening of European democracies due to the war.
• Netanyahu's Scandals: Blumenthal details a major scandal involving Netanyahu's advisors taking Qatari money to run a pro-Qatar propaganda campaign in Israel. This has led to Netanyahu firing the Shin Bet chief and is fueling political instability. The scandal raises questions about Netanyahu's knowledge and potential complicity.
• Gaza Conflict: Blumenthal describes the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, alleging the systematic execution of aid workers by the IDF and the normalization of war crimes by Western media. He suggests that Israel's actions, including the potential use of the “Hannibal Directive” (killing hostages to remove leverage), aim to depopulate Gaza to allow for further Israeli settlement.
• US Role in Ukraine: Blumenthal discusses the timing of the New York Times article revealing US military control of the Ukrainian war, suggesting it was released after Trump's election to minimize the impact on potential counteroffensives.

Highlights:

• The revelation of US military control over Ukrainian operations from Germany, as reported in the New York Times.
• The detailed account of the Qatari propaganda scandal involving Netanyahu's advisors.
• Blumenthal's allegations of systematic executions of aid workers in Gaza and the lack of international outrage.
• The discussion of the potential motivations behind Netanyahu's actions, linking his political survival to the continuation of the war.
• The analysis of the erosion of democratic processes in Europe and the rise of Euroscepticism.

Interview with Max Blumenthal author of "Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party".

Generated Summary:

This YouTube interview with Max Blumenthal discusses his book, Republican Gomorrah, which explores the rise of the radical right and its takeover of the Republican Party.

Main Topic: The influence of the Christian right, particularly figures like James Dobson, on the Republican Party, leading to its radicalization and internal fracturing.

Key Points:

• The Christian Right's Rise: Blumenthal traces the origins of the movement, highlighting the role of Francis Schaeffer, Jerry Falwell, and the Moral Majority in mobilizing evangelical support for the Republican Party, starting with the anti-abortion movement.
• James Dobson's Influence: Dobson, a psychologist, is presented as a key figure who leveraged personal crises and anxieties to build a massive, highly devoted following. He used his organization, Focus on the Family, to transform individuals seeking help into politically active supporters, effectively creating a powerful political force.
• Dobson's Methods: Blumenthal details how Dobson's influence extended to shaping the careers of prominent Republican figures, including Tom DeLay, and how he used his power to influence political decisions and even presidential elections.
• The Moral Majority's Legacy: The interview explains how the Moral Majority and subsequent groups like the Christian Coalition became atomized, leading to more extreme and effective leadership outside the mainstream media's view.
• Ted Bundy and the Christian Right: A surprising connection is drawn between Ted Bundy and Dobson, highlighting how Dobson used Bundy's confession to promote his anti-pornography agenda and gain national attention.
• Dominionism: The interview explores the concept of dominionism, the belief in establishing a Christian theocracy in America, and its influence on the movement.
• Sarah Palin's Rise: Blumenthal connects Palin's appeal to the Christian right's culture of personal crisis and anti-intellectualism, arguing that her image resonated deeply with this base.
• The Republican Party's Transformation: The interview concludes that the Republican Party has been fundamentally altered by the Christian right, leading to the departure of moderates and the dominance of a more extreme, often anti-intellectual, faction.
• Corporate America's Role: The interview also touches upon the complex relationship between the Christian right and corporate America, suggesting that corporations, while exploiting middle America, also utilize the movement for their own political agendas.

Highlights:

• Blumenthal's personal anecdotes about his interactions with figures within the movement, including receiving 7,000 hate emails after criticizing Dobson.
• The detailed account of how Dobson's organization operates and its impact on individuals and politics.
• The unexpected connection between Ted Bundy and James Dobson, illustrating the movement's willingness to exploit any means to achieve its goals.
• The analysis of Sarah Palin's appeal and her role in solidifying the Christian right's influence within the Republican Party.
• The discussion of the future of the Republican Party and the potential consequences of its current trajectory.

US wages war on behalf of a 'sh*tty little apartheid state'. Follow the money. Max Blumenthal on Signalgate, the Zionist who's bought Trump and the war to come on Iran

#MOATS 433 #MaxBlumenthal #Israel #US #Adelson #MikeWaltz

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The undue influence of the Israeli lobby on US foreign policy, particularly concerning the war in Yemen and the potential for war with Iran. The interview also touches on the suppression of free speech in the US related to criticism of Israel.

Key Points:

• Yemen War: The US is bombing civilian targets in Yemen, ostensibly to combat Houthi rebels, but the real motive is to protect Israel's interests and prevent pressure on Israel regarding Gaza. This is revealed through leaked text messages showing a disregard for civilian lives. The scandal is not about operational security failures, but the intentional targeting of civilians.
• Iran War: The US is building up a military presence near Iran, raising concerns about an imminent war. The interview discusses the potential consequences of such a war and the lack of popular support within the US for it. The influence of pro-war factions within the US government, driven by the Israeli lobby, is highlighted.
• Israeli Lobby's Influence: The interview argues that the Israeli lobby exerts significant influence on US foreign policy, shaping decisions to the detriment of American interests. Major donors like Miriam Adelson are cited as examples of this influence.
• Suppression of Free Speech: The interview discusses the increasing suppression of speech critical of Israel in the US. Examples include the kidnapping of a pro-Palestinian activist and the targeting of universities that don't comply with pro-Israel agendas. This is presented as a serious threat to free speech and academic freedom.

Highlights:

• The leaked text messages revealing the US's deliberate targeting of civilians in Yemen.
• The discussion of the potential for a war with Iran and its devastating consequences.
• The analysis of the Israeli lobby's influence on US foreign policy and its impact on American interests.
• The alarming examples of the suppression of free speech in the US related to criticism of Israel.

#benshapiro #jewish #israel

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The discussion centers on the relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, arguing that anti-Zionist Jews are crucial in combating antisemitism.

Key Points:

• Anti-Zionist Jews as a bulwark against antisemitism: The speakers contend that Jews who criticize Zionism are essential in countering antisemitism. They argue that this is because it demonstrates to the world that Jews are not a monolith and that there is internal dissent within the Jewish community regarding Israeli policies.
• The impact of Israeli actions on global perceptions of Jews: The speakers highlight how Israeli actions, particularly those involving military force and occupation, contribute to negative global perceptions of Jews. The use of the Star of David on military equipment is cited as a factor fueling anti-Jewish sentiment.
• Critique of Ben Shapiro: Blumenthal criticizes Ben Shapiro, suggesting his success is due to astroturfing and that he represents a harmful, monolithic image of Jews.
• Lack of incentive for anti-Zionist Jews: The conversation touches upon the lack of reward or recognition for Jews who speak out against Zionism, leading to the perception that they are self-loathing or have ulterior motives.
• The importance of Jewish voices against the occupation: The speakers emphasize the importance of Jewish voices speaking out against the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, arguing that it provides cover for others to do the same and counters the monolithic image of Jews often presented.
• Zionism as a fringe movement: The historical context of Zionism as a fringe movement is mentioned, contrasting it with its current influence.
• The Zionist vision for humanity: The speakers criticize what they perceive as a Zionist vision that promotes religious warfare and sectarianism, citing examples in Syria.

Highlights:

• The passionate and critical discussion of the complex relationship between Zionism, anti-Zionism, and antisemitism.
• The use of personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate the points made.
• The critique of prominent figures like Ben Shapiro and the discussion of the power dynamics involved.
• The historical context provided to understand the evolution of Zionism and its impact.

#TheGrayzone

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: A heated debate between journalist Aaron Mate and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and accusations of antisemitism.

Key Points:

• Accusation of Nazism: Mate accuses Boteach of being a modern-day Nazi for supporting Israeli actions in Gaza, comparing the situation to a concentration camp.
• Defense of Actions: Boteach defends his stance, citing his work saving Palestinian children with cancer and highlighting his efforts to provide humanitarian aid. He also accuses Mate of making personal attacks and refusing to engage with facts.
• Disagreement on Gaza: A central point of contention is the characterization of Gaza as a concentration camp. Mate cites Israeli sources who have used this term, while Boteach challenges the validity of this claim and Mate's sources.
• Free Speech: Boteach emphasizes his belief in free speech and his willingness to debate, contrasting it with what he perceives as Mate's ad hominem attacks.
• Two Camps of Judaism: Mate suggests a civil war exists within the American Jewish community, with Boteach representing a camp he accuses of silencing criticism of Israel.

Highlights:

• The highly charged emotional tone of the debate, with strong accusations and personal attacks.
• The use of historical comparisons (Nazism) to bolster arguments.

Since emerging in America from seemingly out of the blue in 2020, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has become one of the trans-Atlantic establishment’s most effective tools for censoring online speech. Its founder, Imran Ahmed, has nurtured close ties with the Biden White House since moving to Washington DC, targeting its political enemies with calls for their removal from social media. Back in his hometown of London, Ahmed was an influential advisor to the neoliberal wing of UK Labour, helping sabotage the leftist insurgency of Jeremy Corbyn and place his ally, Keir Starmer, in charge of the party.

Ahmed has been embroiled in controversy since journalists Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi published internal CCDH documents showing he held private meetings with influential Democratic lawmakers throughout 2024 to advance a plan to “kill Elon Musk’s Twitter.” The billionaire Twitter/X owner and his allies in president-elect Donald Trump’s inner circle retaliated by accusing the British operative of violating laws against foreign interference in American politics.

However, internal CCDH emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal that while Ahmed nurtures ties to the Labour government in Britain, the self-styled “anti-hate” campaigner also enjoys a secret, “collaborative” relationship with a rogue foreign government whose leadership currently stands accused of genocide by the International Court of Justice, and is wanted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

In an email dated June 12, 2024, Ahmed thanked Efrat Hochstetler, the Public Diplomacy Counselor of the Israeli Embassy in the US, for his “continued support of [CCHD’s] work.” He then introduced himself to Marco Sermoneta, Israel’s consul general in San Francisco, to “emphasize the importance of our collaborative efforts in combating hate and lies online.”

Ahmed appears to enjoy a working relationship with at least one figure who fits this mold. He is Trevor Chinn, a multi-millionaire British auto industry baron who is a top funder of Israel lobby activities in the UK.

As Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi revealed, Ahmed emailed Chinn on June 4, 2024 – one day after he met with the Israeli embassy’s Hasson and Hochstetler – to set up a rendezvous. Copied on the email was Louise Jacobs, a British Zionist activist who serves on the Board of Governors of the Israeli government-controlled Jewish Agency for Israel.

Posing as a grassroots “social movement” composed of anonymous citizens concerned with misinformation, Ahmed’s group successfully knee-capped one of the most popular pro-Corbyn, antiwar outlets, The Canary UK, by organizing a boycott of its advertisers.

In 2021, CCDH registered as a non-profit in the US, and its founder settled down just a few blocks from the US Capitol in Washington DC with his new American wife. He quickly homed in on the enemies of the Biden White House, branding influential critics of its Covid restrictions as “The Disinformation Dozen,” and earning a shout-out from then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki as she successfully clamored for Facebook to ban their accounts.

CCDH’s report relied on the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA)’s notoriously expansive definition of antisemitism, which equates condemnation of Israel’s discriminatory system of apartheid with hatred of Jews. Among the examples of antisemitism listed by the IHRA is, “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.” The definition has been exploited so rampantly by the Israel lobby, that its author, Ken Stern, complained that “right-wing Jews are weaponizing” his work.

Ahmed has made no secret of his far-reaching censorship objectives. He has disclosed to journalists his “five-year plan” to demonetize any content creator who engages in what CCDH defines as “hate speech.” As his report attacking pro-Palestine Facebook groups makes clear, he sees little distinction between expressions of “hate” and advocacy for the rights of Palestinians living under siege and bombardment.

What Ahmed has failed to tell the public is that his crusade to censor and punish online Palestine solidarity activism is an outcome of his secret collaboration with the state of Israel – and that it may have been financially incentivized by the Israeli government as well.

The first thing Trump-endorsed GOP speaker Rep. Mike Johnson does in 2025 is tuck a special measure into the House rules package shielding Benjamin Netanyahu from prosecution for genocide. So this is what "America first" means in practice.

@RepThomasMassie

The United States is a sovereign country, so I don’t assign any credibility to decisions of the International Criminal Court. But how did a bill to protect Netanyahu make it into the House rules package to be voted on immediately after the Speaker vote? Where are our priorities?!

@MaxBlumenthal

Trump supporters are deluding themselves if they think he won the debate. Trump fell for the bait Kamala's handlers set for him at every possible point, spent much of the debate on the defense, stammered, spewed references that only extremely online members of his base would recognize, and got clobbered on abortion. When Kamala taunted Trump about the size of his rallies, he stumbled cluelessly into her trap.

If Trump had entered the debate with an actual strategy, he would have responded that after Kamala's massive, elaborately staged campaign launch in Oakland in 2020, she failed to win a single delegate, wasted tens of millions of donor money, and was only installed as the Dem nominee by the media and party elites. (That critique only came in latter half of the debate, when it was too late, and most viewers' perceptions had solidified). Similarly, when Kamala cited Goldman Sachs and Wharton to tout her economic credentials, Trump had an easy opportunity to hammer home Goldman's role in the foreclosure crisis that destroyed the lives of millions of hard working Americans. Instead, he grumbled that he graduated from Wharton, before veering off track again. When Kamala predictably raised Trump's call for executing the Central Park 5, he could have reminded voters of how she boasted of jailing massive numbers of Black youth for truancy and marijuana possession. On foreign policy, Trump should have homed in on Dick Cheney's endorsement of Kamala for a redux of his demolition of Jeb Bush in the 2016 primary debates. He had two hours to put forward a critique of a candidate who was not well known to most swing voters, to paint her as a media created phony and reckless warmonger afraid of her own record, and he failed.

Trump supporters are correct that the moderators, David Muir and Kristen Welker, orchestrated the debate in Kamala's favor, never fact checking her and feeding her one alley-oop after another, while relentlessly cornering Trump. Muir and Welker clearly saw the Beltway press corps' disappointment with Dana Bash and Jake Tapper for failing to ruthlessly fact check Trump in the first debate, and seized the chance to burnish their status. In the past, Trump would have recognized the moderators as a second opponent, and blasted the fake news media for its shameless bias. But the Trump of 2016, whose campaign was propelled by a popular sense of anti-establishment betrayal after the Iraq war and financial crash, is a ghost. If he somehow makes it into the Oval Office after this performance, he will be focused on personal survival, with his agenda hijacked and subverted by the forces he once thundered against.
