The following sets forth information and commentary regarding Robert Kennedy Jr.’s recent statements about Israel and Palestine.
Vanessa Beeley published the following post regarding Robert Kennedy Jr.’s appalling Zionist diatribes which are completely contrary to the truth of the historical record of Palestine.
This is so bad, it's almost parody but unfortunately it demonstrates Kennedy is no different to Biden, Harris and bi-partisan associates when it comes to Foreign policy and the ‘security’ of Israel. He can't pronounce Chechnya. He calls the hijab "habib". It's a genuinely embarrassing display of ignorance and orientalism.
Kennedy once again erases Israeli crimes against Palestinians - Jenin is a “bomb factory” full of “terrorists” and is therefore a legitimate target for Zionist ethnic cleansing. As a lawyer Kennedy should at least know that under international law, Palestinians have a right to defend themselves against a brutal, aggressive, genocidal occupier.

"Watch Robert Kennedy Jr demolish his credibility as a peace candidate in 4.5 minutes
A campaign that began as a defiant broadside against the war state and censorship industrial complex has suddenly pivoted to a bellicose exercise in pandering to rich Likudniks who seek war with Iran, the permanent violent warehousing of Palestinians and the criminalization of activism that challenges Israeli apartheid.
RFK Jr's host was Shmuley Boteach, a professional race hustler and alleged financial fraudster who owes the existence of his one-man political operation to the fortune of Sheldon Adelson, the late ultra-Zionist oligarch who called for dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran.
If RFK was not handed a massive wad of Benjamins to suck up to Shmuley, he was embarrassing himself for free, because he was clearly out of his depth.
During a rambling, militaristic diatribe, he referred to hijabs as "habibs," pronounced Chechnya as though he hadn't heard of the place until twenty minutes before the event, and offered a history of Israel's creation so cartoonishly propagandistic, it made Alan Dershowitz look like Ilan Pappe.
RFK Jr took it upon himself – or was taken on – to defend the Israeli army's brigade-sized invasion of Jenin, during which it bombed buildings with fighter jets and ran bulldozers through the middle of a refugee camp. He referred to the entire city as "a bomb factory," justifying the invasion because, in his words, "virtually one hundred percent of the people there are supporting terrorism." According to RFK, "everybody [in Jenin] is involved in bomb making" – there are no civilians there at all, therefore all are legitimate targets.
He did not seem to know that the Palestinian campaign of suicide bombing ended well over 15 years ago, or that the Palestinian Authority is legally forbidden from defending Palestinians from Israeli violence – its primary function is to act as an occupation subcontractor. According to RFK Jr, the PA has an official "pay-to-slay policy," in which "if you kill any Jew, you are going to get awarded with pay for life." Even professional AIPAC lobbyists shy away from this kind of baseless invective.
The half-baked hasbara escalated from there as RFK Jr cited Richard Kemp, a former British army officer who subsists on Israel lobby speaking fees, to claim "the conduct of the IDF, the Israeli defense forces when they go into Palestinian territories, is beyond anything in the world."
While Israeli army commanders openly adhere to the Dahiya Doctrine, named for the Beirut neighborhood Israel leveled in 2006, and which calls for targeting Arab civilians in order to turn them against their leadership, RFK Jr insisted that Israel's policy is to "avoid civilian casualties" – it exclusively attacks military targets.
It is hard to believe RFK Jr's ahistorical, belligerent line on Israel-Palestine was not bought and paid for by some pro-Israel billionaire. Which means he's just as corruptible as any Democrat or GOP hack. But if he actually believes what he's saying, he's also at least as pro-war as they are."
Watch:
It only gets worse. Kennedy takes a question from a Jewish Voice for Peace activist (“a Jewish woman who believes in justice”) filmed by Indie News Network - credits here and here.
Kennedy is asked (as a lawyer) for his opinion on the assassination of US/Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in May 2022. Akleh was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while she was covering an Israeli raid on Jenin Camp that Kennedy has described as a terrorist bomb factory:
'They were shooting directly at journalists.' These are the words of one eyewitness to the shooting of veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin Camp, in the West Bank.
Kennedy remains seated during the heated exchange between Shmuley Boteach and the JVP activist. He allows Shmuley to answer questions directed to Kennedy and does not prevent the shouting down of the question.
She is asked for her name half way through the discussion by a belligerent Shmuley who informs her that “Israel is a democracy with a free press” - the activist reminds him that she is not addressing her question to him. Shmuley dismisses the claim of targeting Abu Akleh as a lie, repeats that Jenin is a “terrorist” enclave. Kennedy sits in silence.
Finally more than half way through the exchange Kennedy finally interjects when asked to respond about Abu Akleh and if he would be prepared to sit down and speak to JVP “or do those Jewish voices not count at all?”.
Kennedy claims to not know enough about the case - of the deliberate killing of a US Citizen. He is then seen laughing. He does not even have the courtesy to decline or accept the invitation to speak with JVP.
At this point I really don’t care how good Kennedy is on U.S internal policies, mandates or vaccines. I find his performance abhorrent. His role appears to be to make the U.S. even more isolationist, to divide the anti-imperialist/globalist factions and to turn them against each other while effectively maintaining the support for the US military outpost in the Middle East - a genocidal settler state with a history of illegal occupation, torture, child abuse and regional war crimes, land and resource theft including the almost weekly aggression against Syria and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
If this is the best the U.S. has then it is the worst for nations that have suffered decades of oppression and savagery from the Zionist entity.
How can one profess to be anti-war and deny that Israel has created an apartheid state in Gaza, the West Bank and Jenin, along with the persecution and murder of Palestinians, by saying it’s “proportional"?
Please watch Jimmy Dore’s interview with RFK Jr from 2 August 2023. I admire Jimmy’s patience.
I was beyond appalled by the completely ignorant comments RFK Jr was making, seemingly straight from a Zionist handbook written by Sheldon Adelson acolytes.
I had to keep picking my jaw up off of the floor. It was that bad.
During his interview with Jimmy Dore RFK Jr. agreed to have a discussion with Max Blumenthal about the situation with Palestine and Israel. However the following day…
I highly recommend watching Max and Aaron’s discussion regarding RFK Jr.’s performance which aired live Friday night.
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr. backing out of an Israel-Palestine dialogue he'd agreed to with Blumenthal, and his deepening involvement with some of the Israel lobby's most extreme figures. They will also cover the latest Trump indictment with, special guest Michael Tracey.
On Saturday 5th August, Jimmy Dore had a great discussion with Max Blumenthal who, “expertly debunks RFK Jr.’s Israel-Palestine propaganda.”
I cannot recommend highly enough listening to what Max has to say. I learned a lot.

Bobby’s campaign site Kennedy24.com still supports abortion:
“Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has clear positions on most of today’s divisive trigger issues like abortion, guns, and immigration, but he knows that both sides have legitimate concerns and legitimate moral positions. No one is deplorable. … Few relish the thought of dead fetuses, nor do they want to force women to have unwanted babies.”
This statement has 3 grave errors:
1. It is clearly pro-choice, i.e. recognizing the false right of a mother to murder her baby without the father having any parental rights (not even to claim and bury the corpse), and of course, without the baby having any human right (not even the right to live, the basis of any human right).
2. There is no “legitimate moral position” with respect to procured abortion (note: wrongly-called therapeutic abortion isn’t procured when the main purpose is to save both lives).
3.1. The only thing that forces women to have unwanted babies is rape, both physical and mental. Ideological rape begins with the deliberate lie of “safe sex”, considering that:
1. All contraceptive methods have failure rates (over 10% with condoms).
2. All non-barrier contraceptive products, fail to prevent pregnancies and act through an abortifacient effect, thus forcing women to have unwanted dead babies.
3.2. Abortion has nothing to do with “forcing woman to have unwanted babies”:
1. All babies are wanted: all she has to do is offer him/her for adoption. With increased infertility, due to the depopulation plan to infertilize women against their knowledge, there are more adopting parents than babies for adoption. There’s no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy: even if he mother doesn’t want the baby, others do.
2. There’s no such thing of an abortion in a non-pregnant. There’s no pregnancy without an unborn baby. Abortion means a mother murdering or letting others murder her innocent defenseless baby, she’s supposed to protect.
3. There’s no such thing as forcing women to be a mother.
Would you deny the title of “mother” to one that lost her son, even if the son was 1, 7, 21 or 80?
Would it be wrong to greet her for mother’s day or to call her grand-”mother” if her dead son left her grandchildren?
Nobody can force a pregnant woman to become a mother: whether she likes it or not, she is a mother since conception, and whether her baby had a natural death or was murdered, she’ll be her baby’s mother for eternity, literally. The afterlife and immortality of the soul has been scientifically proven by Near Death Experiences.
Just as a mother who kills a 5 year old son, any woman will still be a mother even after murdering her unborn baby. Abortion aborts childhood, not motherhood. Motherhood is for life! Not only to protect life but also lasting a lifetime, earthly and eternal.
