Marco Rubio Falls Back On One Of The Most Antisemetic Tropes To Cover Trump's Ass. What Will The Consequences Of That Be?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO go outside of the Trumpzi movement going back to the white-supremacist-Nazi rally in his first year as president,  you'll remember their chant in Charlottesville, Virginia, "Jews will not replace us."  The old trope that Jews had sinister aims to covertly rule the world, taking power to thwart gentile governments and institutions.    It is certainly what led the Czarist establishment to forge the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, used by Hitler and the Nazis in their propaganda, the actual establishment of Israel certainly contributed to Stalin's post-WWII paranoid pogrom against Jewish writers, doctors and others, etc.  That is what the only Jewish member of the British government at the time of the adoption of the Balfour Declaraion warned about as he opposed it,  that it would lead to beliefs that Jews had loyalty to a foreign government.   

Don't for a second believe that Americans aren't as able to fall for that as anyone, especially as the Israeli government claims that they represent all Jews everywhere, including in the United States.  And that is official Israeli policy and, under its Supreme Court, the legal claim of Israel's government. 

I will note that among America's indigenous fascist, white supremacists, especially those of a white-evangelical kind and fascist tending,  the same accusation was made against Catholics and the Vatican, Al Smith faced it,  John Kennedy did,  I even saw it used against Joe Biden though generally it was just atheists who said it, then. 

Yesterday, when Marco Rubio said in response to a question of why Trump began the war on Iran right now, what was the urgent issue that led to that choice, Rubio said, “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.  . . We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

So, the Trump regime, instead of threatening the Netanyahu regime with consequences for endangering Americans in that way,  was taking their war orders, in effect, from the Israeli government.  That the Netanyahu government was the one which - and this is beyond doubt true - which knew it could force the American government into what has the all too real potental to be the biggest catastrophe in the history of the American military and government, worse than the Bush II wars combined, made that decision. for the corrupt Trump regime.   But in the case or Trump,  they didn't have to use much force, they'd already bought this war along with their Arab partners in Saudi Arabia and those in the Gulf States. 

Do I believe the souless and degenerate Marco Rubio?   My first tendency is not to, that this is just an example of how far they will go to cover up for their own criminality.   I do know that the many, many Republican-fascist-Trumpzi followers who have been open antisemites - something that featured in the Republian campaign against Kamala Harris whose husband is Jewish - will interpert this in line with their colleagues who marched with torches through Charlottesville, VA in 2017,  the ones who, no doubt, Trump meant when he said some of them were "good People."  

But, as I said,  I don't for a second believe that the Netanyahu government was not one of those in the region who bought this war from Trump.   Rachel Maddow's initial and almost instantaneous insight that when we ask why now that they should follow the money was true.  As I recall, without looking it up, she mentioned the white-elephant of a luxury jet that the Qutar government gave Trump and the billions that the Saudi government put in Jared Kuschner's accounts, I believe she mentioned the crypto currency deals that the Trump family got.  and there are many other such examples.   The prospects of the Trump family building a pleasure dome on the bones of the Palestinians murdered in the Israeli genocide there would be all that Trump would need to do everything up to and including dropping nuclear weapons on Iran.   

And, by the way, I think that's very much on the table with the Trumpzi regime.  And if he does it in Iran,  Putin will do it in Ukraine.  

One point someone made over the weekend, is that Khamani was the one in the Iranian government that was acting as a religious roadblock to the development of nuclear weapons in Iran.   By the way,  their nuclear capacity was a product of American and British policy way, way back when they wanted Iran to export their oil to the West for the profit of American and Brit oil companies, so they encouraged the Shah to buy nuclear reactors for Iran. 

Getting back on topic, I'll repeat myself again,  do I believe Marco Rubio is telling the truth, or even half of the truth?

I do believe that in the calculation of Trump and whoever is running his quickly dying brain these days that deflection from the Epstein files and the revelations of those is a big part of anything they do these days.   Trump would certainly drop the bomb to end that,  he would foment a 9-11 style attack on the United States having seen what that did for the Bush II regime as it was floundering.   I won't go into the clear nonfeasance of Bush and, especially Condoleeza Rice in the run up to that as they repeatedly got warnings that something was going on.  Not now, at least. 

What if it's partly true?   

It was one of the slams that the American president of the past fifty-seven years who I think did the best job,  Joe Biden that his foreign policy in the middle-east was entirely too influenced by his own announced Zionism.  His support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza is the greatest stain on his career and life.   The kind of stain that Vietnam was for the greatest president of my lifetime,  Lyndon Johnson.   I don't doubt that his and his administration did, in fact, make too many of its decisions based on what the corrupt Israeli government did.   And if I didn't hold that to be true,  I could certainly find numerous American,  British, Canadian, etc. Jews who slammed him for that and rightly so.  For example, Lily Greenberg Call, who said,  "He is making Jews the face of the American war machine. And that is so deeply wrong."  I think his Secretary of State,  Anthony Blinken has committed crimes against humanity of the kind that should prevent him from traveling to any country which recognizes the Court of International Justice.   As the former American diplomat Hala Rharrit said,  “When I became a diplomat, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution. They are circumventing the process to continue the flow of arms, knowing how catastrophic that is. For me, it’s really unforgivable, and it is criminal.”

Whatever you can say about what Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken did that got them that criticism, they were doing something that you couldn't accuse Lyndon Johnson of in Vietnam, they were supporting the decisions of the Netanyhu government, not determining it,  the Israeli government that had the support of the large majority of Israeli voters.  What Trump did, according to Rubio, went entirely farther on decision of the Israeli government than any previous American president ever did.  

This is a one of those watersheds that you're always hearing about but this is a real one.  This will,  I fear and guarantee you, mean that antisemitism of the kind that rose up with the promotion of Zionism in the late 19th century is going to flourish as the terrible consequences and costs of this war in Iran come home to the Amerian People AND MOST OF ALL THE AMERICAN RIGHT WHO DID NOT WANT YET ANOTHER DISASTEROUS,  NETANYAHU DESIRED AMERICAN WAR ON TOP OF THE ONE THE BUSH II REGIME GAVE US IN IRAQ.  

And antisemitism being what it is,  this is going to fall on all American Jews as I'm already reading EVEN THOUGH SO MUCH OF THE REJECTION OF ZIONISM AND THE ISRAELI APARTHEID REGIME AND THIS MONUMENTALLY CRIMINAL WAR IS COMING FROM JEWS, HERE AND ELSEWHERE, EVEN WITHIN ISRAEL.  

It was one of the things I had to overlook in my support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,  their support for the Israeli government, the apartheid Israeli government, the Netanyahu, electoral-fascist government.   I don't think I will be able to continue to overlook the advocacy of Zionist policies in American politicians ever again,  not after the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran.   Up till now the American "Israel-right-or-wrong" politicians have had some level of political if not legal restraint on what they would do to support that diasterously failed experiment in 20th century European colonialism.   I supported both Biden and Harris knowing that the alternative was worse, as it has, indeed, turned out to be.   

But if they're going to lose elections with those Zionist policies that very likely did play a large role in Harris losing at least a few vitally important states,  Democrats will have to take that into account or they will lose.   That's along with having to take into account the clear fact that Democrats must accept the widespread misogyny and racism of a critical minority of American voters into account as a given - NOT TO DETERMINE POLICIES OF A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT BUT AS IN WHO TO NOMINATE TO GIVE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.   

I won't support any Democrat who announces that they are a Zionist,  not anymore.   As far as I'm concerned,  No more after Netanyahu.   As the reaction against the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran develops, I would bet that it becomes harder for a Republican who has announced the same thing to get elected, though Republican-fascists want oligarchic fascism here more than anything,  their base won't care how many People elsewhere get killed,  Trump certainly doesn't, no one in his regime is doing what so many who worked under Biden did,  quitting over the war crimes and atrocities.   And if it is politically a burden for them,  they'll go as antisemitic as those who are the bulk of their base have traditionally been.  It has always been one of the features of America's indigeous fascists, the white supremacists, especially in the South and the mid-west.   Though never nearly as much so as their hatred of Black People and other People of Color. 

It is one of the handicaps that Democrats have that a critical number of Democrats do care about such things,  that is a handicap that Republicans who don't care about anything except themselves and their money don't have.   Genuine democracy, egalitarian democracy is a harder sell than liberal democracy which is quite compatible with apartheid democracy in which those deluded suckers who belive they're one scheme away from easy-street will buy even their own harm.   Even when, as Trump I did, he robs and cheats and kills lots of them.   I don't know anything anyone said which showed more wisdom about the history of American politics UNDER THE CONSTITUTION than the currently circulated quote by Lyndon Johnson:

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

It's far from just the lowest who'll do that, racism and antisemitism have been features of our oligarchy, as well.  They're just more genteel about it, sometimes.  It works with other aspects of identity, too.
