Episode 83: RFK and Israel Lobby

First aired on 27 August 2023

Robert F. Kennedy is the son of an assassinated US Senator and the nephew of the assassinated President of the US, John F. Kennedy. RFK is well known for his lack of trust in the US intelligence agencies.

Considering the question marks surrounding both his father's and uncle's deaths, you can understand why. RFK has announced his intention to run for president of the United States in 2024. He has been outspoken about the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and has had a clear-minded analysis of the NATO war against Russia in Ukraine.

He has described the war as "sacrificing the flower of Ukrainian youth in an abattoir of death and destruction for the geopolitical ambition of the neocons."

In a clear contrast with other candidates for the presidency, Kennedy has stated his intention to de-escalate US imperial ambitions towards the People's Republic of China. Unfortunately, he has a significant blind spot on Palestine.

Despite Kennedy being branded as antisemitic by smear merchants, he constantly sought to ingratiate himself with the Zionist lobby. First, after stating his solidarity with Roger Waters when the Pink Floyd musician was attacked by the Lobby, Kennedy swiftly climbed down after being pressured by prominent Zionist lobbyists.
