I would greatly like to believe in the concept of a "tipping point" - when the Powers That Be, the Elites, the Ones In Charge over-reach so much that "something's got to give".

Neoliberal economic policy combined with Neoconservative foreign policy has (respectively) hollowed out America and bankrupted the United States treasury. We are hitting rock bottom.

Take the F-35, a perfect example of both these "neo" philosophies. The Neolibs want a jet fighter that is designed first and foremost not to do the job, but to enrich the defense contractor, the congressional proponents of the program, and their donors; the Neocons want a flashy "next generation" fighter that they can sell to "allies" (really "vassals") and then hold these vassals (like NATO and Israel) in thrall by making them all dependent on the US to provide maintenance, repairs, spare parts and upgrades - all of which the F-35 requires in abundance.

In this context, I really believe that Israel has hit the "tipping point".

People are awakening to the idea that maybe - just maybe - Israel DOESN’T have a right to exist after all. As Dr. Jill Stein, my candidate, has said: “you don’t get to have a homeland by stealing someone else’s”. I think that people are copping on to that very simple truth. And no amount of Israeli hasbara or Gish Gallop tactics can evade that truth any longer.

But the Zionists cannot allow that idea to take root. It must be eradicated, branch and stem. And so the reaction is swift, violent and disproportionate - in the true Israeli IDF tradition.

Also following Zionist Israeli tradition: collective punishment. Professors and faculty are being “swept up” in the raids. Palestinian students at Columbia are getting expelled even though they were in class and didn’t participate in the protests.

It really is unprecedented, and it has only served to fan the flames. I just saw a clip of students at Cal Poly Humboldt fighting with a bunch of nonplussed cops and sheriff's deputies. Even Humboldt County is harshing their own mellow over this!!

AND IT’S GOING GLOBAL.

Now the French students are joining in, as are the Germans and of course the Brits, and the Italians, the Poles, the Greeks, Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, Finns, etc. Even Venezuelans, Chileans and Brazilians. Not to mention protests have erupted in Egypt, Kuwait, Yemen, India, and - well, you get the picture.

I really think Israel has screwed the pooch on this. They have gone too far. They used to be able to count on the world’s sympathies - indeed, extracting every bit of leverage and outrage over The Holocaust was a major part of Israel’s foreign policy. Every time the Palestinians complained of atrocities, and some international body (like the UN) raised objections, it was like, “talk to the Holocaust hand”.

But now? Every vote in the UN reflects the fact that Israel and the US are 100% isolated. Instead of having the world’s sympathies, Israel has garnered the world’s opprobrium. Instead of tolerance, Israel is now getting condemnation.

And worse yet, the Israelis and Zionists continue to be their own worst enemies! They are still posting clips of themselves calling for all Palestinians to be killed, for Gaza to be wiped out, for Palestinians and their supporters to be raped and slaughtered in the most gruesome terms. And it is all on camera. It is all going viral. It is all over TikTok and X.

I give the Jewish State of Israel another year, unless they actually get into a shooting war with Iran and/or Hezbollah, in which case it’s game over for the Zionist entity. And I am here for it.

(BTW I think i may write a full article on this topic :-)))
