I'm no fan of Robert F Kennedy Jr.. He often says things that conservatives agree with but he's not a conservative. He's right on many things, but not enough of them to garner my support. He's far left for example on climate activism. In fact, I would not put it past Democrats to have positioned him as a Manchurian candidate for independents, libertarians and conservatives so as to stop them from voting for Trump. Call me a skeptic. Granted I was skeptical of Trump initially too, but while he is an imperfect candidate he did well and will do well again when he wins again.
Back to RFK Jr. As I said, he gets some things right, and I'm not afraid to share it when he does. His latest proclamation on Israel is spot on:
“Any other nation that was adjacent to a neighboring nation that was bombing it with rockets, sending commandos over to murder its citizens, pledging itself to murder every person in that nation and annihilate it, would go and level it with aerial bombardment,” Kennedy said.“But Israel is a moral nation. So it didn’t do that. Instead, it built an iron dome to protect itself so it would not have to go into Gaza.”He said Hamas gave Israeli leaders no choice after fighters stormed into Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people and capturing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
He goes further, as Breitbart points out:
Rather than pressuring Israel, Kennedy said, the U.S. should be pressuring states that currently support Hamas.
He's exactly right. If Mexico or Canada was doing that to the United States, how would you expect America to react? The response would be swift and total. So don't be hypocritical
Here's the interesting thing about his position on Israel. Politically this is a problem for Let's Go Brandon; as he bleeds support from far left Gaza/Hamas supporters (or sympathizers) he's been left with his weak Israeli support to bolster his support. But if RFK Jr. is going to siphon off support, this would come from Let's Go Brandon supporters more so than Trump supporters. Trump supporters who are pro-Israel already know what he has done for the country; recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, the Abraham Accords are two big items. They aren't about to shift to RFK Jr. based on his truthful pronouncements about Hamas.
