Watch @RobertKennedyJr 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.

Plenty of Ukrainian kids live in Russia, many have moved there with their families. Does Juliiia really think they only started to arrive since February of last year? She isn’t aware of the millions of Ukrainians already living in the RF?

The craziest thing about this Elon Musk drama is that the United States is arming and training a Saudi military attack on Yemen that has killed 400,000 people.

@ScrewMorrison @caitoz I’m not going to “try again.” U mentioned me in ur reply to Caitlin’s tweet, but I don’t care to get sucked into ur one-sided tunnel vision. It’s u who sounds desperate, & I’m not asking you to “believe” me about anything. Enjoy your think tank scripts.

[Nika @nikabot]

@ScrewMorrison @caitoz Agenda-driven western propaganda stories of faked phone calls prove nothing, nor do they back up your post about the human rights commission report. Do you have any documents to share? And where “on the scene” are you?

[Nika @nikabot]

@ScrewMorrison @caitoz This is the whole report. Interviewed 150 people, spoke with “relevant governments” (only Ukraine) & “other relevant stakeholders” https://t.co/FmIhvVjUOR They mention “documents,” so let’s see some.

[Nika @nikabot]

@ScrewMorrison @caitoz These claims from a mere 3 “independent” human rights experts are unsubstantiated. The ‘Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine’ is not impartial. Announced by none other than war-hawk Samantha Power: https://t.co/8QCS6Vy0ca

@nonenoun @cheesesqueese @mdfzeh @JuliaDavisNews Who exactly are u to speak for the people of Ukraine? Do u have friends in Donetsk? Anyone in Kiev? Anywhere? I’m just curious. As for Strelkov, u know where he is now right? You can keep shouting “they started it,” but we can at least agree it needs to end.

[Nika @nikabot]

@nonenoun @cheesesqueese @mdfzeh @JuliaDavisNews Ok Russophobia expert 😏 of course they were just “fighting separatism,” so innocent. Did you stop to think WHY the people of eastern Ukraine wanted to be neutral/aligned with Russia? Does only the will of western Ukrainians matter?

[Nika @nikabot]

@nonenoun @cheesesqueese @mdfzeh @JuliaDavisNews “aggressive.” The history goes much farther back than 2014. Maybe rethink your apologetics for Russophobia, or go condescendingly explain antisemitism to some Jewish people 🙄

[Nika @nikabot]

@nonenoun @cheesesqueese @mdfzeh @JuliaDavisNews Nope, it is true. Think tanks funded by weapons manufacturers have every reason to provide whatever ‘context’ is convenient to them. Poroshenko sent tanks upon the innocent ppl of Donbass. Crimeans are Russian & don’t perceive the annexation as
