Comedian Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) was shocked out how freely former US President Donald Trump discussed doing favours for pro-Israel donors, especially given how it goes unpunished in a country that has laws against working for foreign states.
US law disallows people advocating on behalf of foreign states, so we wonder why Trump and his Zi*nist billionaire donors, Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, aren’t being called out. For example, the US government saw no problem forcing Chinese television network CGTN and Russian television network RT to register as ‘foreign agents.’
It is not just a Republican problem, as the Israeli onslaught against Palestinians in Gaza is happening under a Democratic Party president, Joe Biden, himself the top recipient of the pro-Israel donations.
US support for Israel has come at the expense of US citizens and the internal colony of descendants of enslaved Africans, too. The country suffers from crumbling infrastructure, more than a half-million homeless people and inaccessible healthcare. Meanwhile, Israel is able to provide universal health care and education for its citizens. Israel has received the most US foreign aid since 1948 and since 2019, it has annually received $3.8 billion in US funding. US Secretary of State Alexander Haig (1924-2010) referred to Israel as the ‘largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk’ in West Asia.
Let us know what you think of Dore’s shock at Trump freely admitting to help pro-Israel donors.

It’s an ache in my soul that I only became aware of your work after you’d been shut down. I was completely unaware that there are spaces for African intellectual conversations that were not completely about corruption in national government or sad things like that I’ve been hearing all my life. I really hope you can come back. And your exit has revealed other platforms like yours. But I really hope you come back.
