It’s not RFK’s fault. It’s the brain worm at the wheel.

AIPAC knows how to play the American lobby. Funny part is, the Netanyahu is getting the guy he really wanted now. Lets see how well this “ceasefire” turns out for the people of Gaza long run.

Netanyahu knows Trump is going to be better for HIS Israeli right wing party. The cease-fire was going to happen either way, because his Israeli party is paying too much of an international and domestic cost at this point. Netanyahu waited to be sure to give Trump the win if possible because he knows Trump will capitulate to his party. It was going to go this way after the election either way. It was self-serving. Wait and see what happens after the “cease fire.” This was politics between like minded parties, not compassion for the people of Gaza.

Sadly I see that shifting as billionaires in other countries see the success of American billionaires. Hoarders of money and power exploit society to their gain any way they can get away with. The orthodoxy and social norms of your country may keep their power grabs in check to date, but be vigilant. The resources and power of billionaires allows them to play the long game on whittling away at anything that stands in the way of their egomaniacal lust for more. I hope for all of our sakes, this billionaire undermining movement that is spreading can be beaten back. What’s happened in America was not organic. It was a strategy engineered by idealogical confederations of billionaires pooling resources.
