Longtime journalist Chris Hedges offers a partial inventory of Israel’s documented human rights abuses of Palestinians – massive abuses that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. chooses to ignore: the crimes of apartheid, and the targeting and torturing of civilians, to name a few.
As Hedges reminds us, to support this Israel is to “justify the unjustifiable”; and to protest Israeli policy is “a political death wish.”
[EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third installment of an important article by respected journalist Chris Hedges (bio below), discussing Israel’s egregious human rights abuses toward the people of Palestine. The original article is so rich with information and insight that we have divided it into 3 parts to avoid reader fatigue. Find the first installment here, and the second one, specifically about RFK Jr, is here:
Expert reveals Israel’s abuse of Palestinians was premeditated
and the second one, specifically about RFK Jr, is here:
RFK, Jr. has been featured in a number of interviews on non-establishment platforms, including Joe Rogan and, most recently, an explosive appearance on Tucker Carlson, speaking out about Ukraine, Covid, and who was behind the assassination of his uncle, JFK. In these, he takes on the U.S. government, big pharma, and the CIA… The fact that he fails to similarly speak out about Israeli abuses may be an indication of the unparalleled influence of the Israel lobby.]
I doubt Kennedy has read or heard of Luntz’s report [the Israeli propaganda playbook put together by the Republican pollster and political strategist, Frank Luntz]. But he has been spoon-fed its talking points and naively spits them back. Israel only wants peace. Israel does not engage in torture. Israel is not an apartheid state. Israel gives Israeli Arabs political and civic rights they do not have in other parts of the Middle East. Palestinians are not deliberately targeted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Israel respects civil liberties and gender and marriage rights. Israel has “the best judiciary in the world.”
Kennedy makes other claims, such as his bizarre statement that the Palestinian Authority pays Palestinians to kill Jews anywhere in the world along with falsifications of elemental Middle Eastern history, which are so absurd I will ignore them. But I list below examples from the volumes of evidence that implode the Luntz-inspired talking points Kennedy repeats on behalf of the Israel lobby, not that any evidence can probably puncture his self-serving attachment to “Fantasy Israel.”
