For years, AIPAC played a key role in U.S. politics as a campaign financing powerhouse, but now aspiring candidates are distancing themselves from the group. What lies ahead for the Lobby as the Gaza genocide has made Israel a political liability?

Last month, Seth Moulton, a Democratic Representative in Massachusetts running to oust Ed Markey from the Senate, announced that he would stop accepting American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) donations and return the money he had previously received from the group.

The move raised eyebrows, as Moulton is certainly not a dovish politician. In addition to being a longtime supporter of Israel, the former Marine pushed for the Houthis as a terrorist organization and refrained from criticizing the Trump administration’s June strikes on Iran.

Moulton’s move makes him the fourth House member to reverse course on AIPAC donations, joining Reps. Morgan McGarvey (D-KY), Valerie Foushee (D-NC), and Deborah Ross (D-NC).

(I am sure Massie and MTG aren't getting and AIPAC $.)

80% Contaminated Water Humanitarian Collapse Escalates amid Gaza Ceasefire Violations

palestinianchronicle.com

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society issued an alarm, revealing that up to 80% of the water supply in the Gaza Strip is contaminated. This contamination has fueled a dangerous surge in infectious diseases, with over 70,000 cases of hepatitis recorded since the onset of the conflict.

Freed Palestinian woman recounts horrors of sexual torture by Israeli soldiers

A recently freed Palestinian woman has reported being subjected to sexual violence four times and being filmed naked during her detention in Israeli prisons, according to a statement issued by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR).

The statement documented the testimony of the former detainee, identified as NA, and revealed an “organised and systematic practice of sexual torture including rape, forced stripping, forced filming, (and) sexual assault using objects and dogs” perpetrated by Israeli soldiers.

The centre said the testimonies it collected show that Palestinian detainees are subjected to “deliberate psychological humiliation aimed at crushing human dignity and erasing individual identity entirely.”

It stressed that “the testimonies do not reflect isolated incidents but constitute a systematic policy practiced in the context of the ongoing crime of genocide against more than two million Palestinians in Gaza.

Cold War Continuity of Agenda

Throughout the Cold War and ever since its conclusion, the US’ singular foreign policy objective has been to maintain American hegemony over the globe established at the end of the World Wars. A 1992 New York Times article titled “U.S. Strategy Plan Calls for Insuring no Rivals Develop” made it clear the US would actively prevent the emergence of any nation or groups of nations from contesting American primacy worldwide.

In recent years this has included preventing the reemergence of Russia as well as the rise of China. It also involves surrounding both nations with arcs of chaos and/or confrontation—either through the destruction of neighboring countries through political subversion, or the capture of these nations by the US and their transformation into battering rams to be used against both nations.

Ukraine is an extreme example of this policy in action. The US is also transforming both the Philippines and the Chinese island province of Taiwan into similar proxies vis-à-vis China.

Zelensky Could Flee to Britain in Wake of Anti-corruption Raids in Ukraine

 By Ahmed Adel, globalresearch.ca

President Volodymyr Zelensky may be preparing to flee Ukraine — not to Poland, but to the United Kingdom, which has provided him with protection and a future residence permit. However, his stay there may not be permanent, as United States President Donald Trump may request him as a key witness in the investigation against the Democrats. (Should go to Israel)

Dying while waiting: Gazas wounded trapped as Israel blocks medical evacuations

By Mohammed al-Hajjar in Nuseirat Camp, Gaza,

From her hospital bed in Khan Younis, Baraa Abu Zaid counts the days - not in hope of recovery, but in fear that her turn for evacuation will never come.

Doctors at the overwhelmed hospital said both needed urgent surgery abroad. But Gaza’s last lifeline - the Rafah crossing with Egypt - had been sealed by Israel’s army.

The medical transfer requests prepared by the health ministry became meaningless paperwork. Within two weeks, Obaida succumbed to his wounds.

Like tens of thousands of critically wounded people in Gaza, Abu Zaid had pinned her hopes on the ceasefire signed between Israel and Hamas in October.

Under its terms, the Rafah crossing was meant to reopen to allow the wounded to seek treatment abroad. But more than a month later, Israel has refused to do so - one of many violations of the truce.

There Is No Cease-Fire in the West Bank

By Mairav Zonszein, International Crisis Group

This is a serious acceleration of violence, but it is not new or isolated. Since the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, over 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers; one in every five dead is a child. In the same period, over 3,000 Palestinians say they have been displaced from their homes and lands largely because of Israeli settler violence. Another estimated 40,000 Palestinians have been displaced in the northern West Bank by Israel Defense Force operations. In the past two years, Israel has erected nearly 1,000 barriers and makeshift checkpoints across the West Bank, suffocating Palestinians’ ability to move and work freely.

Israeli crowd applauds soldiers accused of raping Palestinian prisoner

Israelis cheer two of five suspect in gang rape of a detainee, which was captured on video, as they appear in court.

Supporters in the courtroom shouted “We are all Unit 100,” referring to the military unit to which the suspects belong, according to Israel’s Channel 14.

Footage shared on social media showed the two men, their faces concealed by hats, sunglasses and masks, embracing each other as some in the room applauded.

The hearing concerned a dispute over who would lead the investigation into the leak of a video showing their assault on a Palestinian detainee last year.

RFK Jr. Exposes Big Pharma's Stranglehold On American Media

By Tyler Durden

RFK Jr. sounds the alarm: the evening news isn’t just a broadcast - it’s a billion-dollar echo chamber for corporate interests.

As 'Camus' writes in a post on X, according to insiders, pharmaceutical giants bankroll up to 75% of ad revenue for TV news, flooding broadcasts with a barrage of drug commercials.

On a typical night, 17 out of 22 ads push pharmaceutical products directly to older viewers, the biggest spenders on prescriptions.

But the influence doesn’t stop with advertising.

RFK Jr. reveals that top anchors, like Anderson Cooper, earn staggering salaries - reportedly $20 million annually - with most of that money flowing from pharma-linked sponsorships.

Cloned Foods Are Coming To A Grocer Near You

Authored by Sylvain Charlebois via The Epoch Times,

Cloned-animal foods could soon enter Canada’s food supply with no labels identifying them as cloned and no warning to consumers - a move that risks eroding public trust.

According to Health Canada’s own consultation documents, Ottawa intends to remove foods derived from cloned animals from its “novel foods” list, the process that requires a pre-market safety review and public disclosure. Health Canada defines “novel foods” as products that haven’t been commonly consumed before or that use new production processes requiring extra safety checks.
