    We speak with former Michigan Congressmember Andy Levin, a former synagogue president, who lost his 2022 Democratic primary in a race that saw millions spent by pro-Israel groups to unseat the progressive Jewish lawmaker. AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and other lobby groups have used the same playbook over the years to defeat members of Congress who do not toe the line, and Levin says the Democratic Party has to act to stop such "dark money" from deciding elections and push for a new policy on Israel-Palestine that brings peace. "We need to all get along there, and we need to work together here to make that happen," he says.

    As a result of my research into world and biblical affairs concerning Israel, I came across a few things that surprised me and wondered what role AIPAC had in this. Israel was caught 125 times engaged in acts of espionage against the US. Nothing happened. Israel bombed a Navy ship killing or wounding about 200 people in International waters. They had been warned that this was a US ship but they went ahead. Nothing happened. Jewish money was the basis of money available in the Federal Reserve with the commitment to loan money to banks should the banking industry become unstable. Prior to the Great Depression, propaganda was used to create instability in the banking system. When banks began to fail, the Federal Reserve refused to provide the needed support. The stock market crashed and those with any money bought up everything for pennies. My family lost everything. The Wealthy Elite today inherited those businesses.

    A Cry from the Rubble
    In Gaza’s streets, the air is thick,
    With dust and grief that chokes the quick.
    A land besieged, a people scarred,
    By hands that strike and leave them charred.
    The children dream of sky once blue,
    But wake to skies of ashen hue.
    Their laughter silenced by the drone,
    Their homes reduced to blood and stone.
    The walls close in, the light grows dim,
    A father’s prayer, a mother’s hymn,
    But prayers alone can’t break the chains,
    Or heal the land where blood still rains.
    The olive groves once full of life,
    Now bear the wounds of endless strife.
    Their roots are deep, but cannot stand,
    Against the iron hand that brands.
    A genocide in slow retreat,
    Where every loss is bittersweet.
    A quiet death, the world turns blind,
    To shattered hopes and broken minds.
    Yet still they rise, though burdened low,
    With every strike, their spirits grow.
    No fire can burn what they hold near-
    A right to live without this fear.
    We speak their names, we call them home,
    Their blood cries out, their spirits roam.
    For though they fall beneath this weight,
    Their memory will not abate.
    The world may turn, but truth is clear-
    A genocide is happening here.
    In every tear, in every breath,
    The fight for life, defying death.
    So let us rise, and bear this pain,
    Until the world can feel again.
    For Palestine, a sacred plea-
    To live, to love, to simply be.

    The wealthy shareholders of all the corporate government contractors do not like anyone who tries to cut their funding and contracts. It's that simple. The problem is they are so arrogant, they actually believe themselves, that what they are doing and supporting is correct.

    Thank you, Democracy Now, and Thank you, Andy Levin. I have such respect for anyone, who steps out of their 'Us' identity, to stand with the 'Them'. May you be happy.

      Well said. This "us vs. them" type of thinking plagues our society, including our government.

      Dual citizenship is not the problem; there's no reason to outlaw it and a lot of reasons not to. Not sure where you got the idea that people with dual citizenship are trying to take over the world, lmao. I am pursuing dual US/Italian citizenship myself and I assure you, I have no interest in trying to run anything. Certainly, elected officials should be forced to recuse themselves from any proceedings in which their dual citizenship could present a conflict of interest, but other than that... it's not an issue. Nothing would change, policy-wise.

    VP HARRIS, PLEASE KNOW WE HUMANITARIAN VOTERS WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU WITHOUT A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA!!! we won't vote for Trump, ever. And we really believe your platform EXCEPT for supporting Netanyahu. But we cannot ignore the thousands of limbless, or murdered babies and children. We will write in Marianne Williamson or Jill Stein on our ballot!!!

      Even Jesus told his disciples not to call him good! You shouldn't fall for this liberal party loyal politician. His Judaism is just a mask he hides behind. He still wants people to vote for Kamala Harris even though she won't meet with Palestinians to even listen to them speak.
