Trumpdom No. 7. The Oligarchs and the narcissistic showman

Paul Larudee, administrator of Human Rights organizations addressed The State of Israel, AIPAC and the International Zionist Movement—“I write as an American citizen. You have stolen my country, and I want it back. I did not ask for my country to be complicit in the ongoing genocide and attempted eradication of the people of Gaza and Palestine. I do not want to be complicit in the genocide of anyone. I do not want this crime to stain the name of the United States of America whenever it is spoken for the next century and for all eternity, and to bring shame upon me and my descendants, and to all others who hold American citizenship. . . .You have been very successful in exerting a powerful influence on the media, the government, and other pillars of American society. , , , also strangled academic freedom to debate or protest Israel on American campuses through control of funding, resulting in harassment and removal of faculty and punishment of students. You have hijacked American film, news organizations, and other media so that only the information and views that you permit are widely available to the public. . . Your job, and that of the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy, and the global network of sayanim (collaborators) is to assure, by these and any other available means, that Israel dominates all narratives, all public policy and decision making, and that all actions in both the public and private sphere are to the benefit of Israel. You have been enormously successful in capturing almost unlimited military and financial support from the US government, in controlling U.S. government policy, and in shaping American minds to accept and support a massive civilian genocide, including starvation and infection of hundreds of thousands and ultimately probably millions of innocent people.”

Citizen protests throughout the world and condemnation from over 40 nations of Israel’s war  had no effect on Western governments under Zionist influence until July 2025 when French President Macron declared that Gaza should be a separate country. Netanyahu’s face went livid and his evil character burst from his eyes. U.S. President Trump, now a shuffling, uncompromising dealer of destruction, encourages Israel’s psychopaths to share Gaza’s potential riches with the U.S. (him). Canada, the U.K., the European Union joined France to demand that Israel recognize Palestine as a state while Netanyahu declared that Israel would annex Gaza. Meanwhile President Trump, committed to Netanyahu’s war on Gaza, ignored charges of enforced starvation, targeted shooting of Palestinians waiting for food and journalists reporting for Al-Jazeera with a callousness that reinforces his inhumanity and narcissism. Trump has lost support from some MAGA followers who suspect him of involvement in the Epstein trafficking world-wide of young girls for sex. Meanwhile some journalists have defied their media managers who used to censor any fair reporting on Palestinians by uniting in a strong voice to inform the public of the truth. When Genocide Wasn’t News; How Canadian media covered up the destruction of Gaza (Breach Books, 2025) revealed the policy of mainstream media to dissemble about the Hamas attack on Israel and the genocide Israeli soldiers committed in Gaza against a defenceless people, largely women and children. A chapter on the pro-israel group Honest Reporting, funded by Jewish, organizations, reveals how it pressured the media to report only Israeli propaganda. One of its leaders, Fegelman, called me an anti-semite in a letter to the Hamilton Spectator because I used the word “Israeli-firster” to describe American Jews who worked primarily for Israel’s benefit when employed in the U.S. government, a term common in books on the subject. My letters supporting Palestine and condemning the genocide were not printed by the Spectator, the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail; in fact no letter by me regardless of subject was welcomed as letters were in the past. I complained to the Spectator that its censorship was immoral, a exasperated complaint as we descend into the 1984 dystopia the newspapers helped to establish.

Most of the nations in the United Nations voted for Israel to stop its war on Gaza but the United States, as usual, vetoed the resolution. If several nations band arrange to implement a U.N. law that allows them to send an international force against Israel to stop the genocide, the wishes of world’s peoples will be realized and Israel will be constrained to allow for a separate Palestinian state, which liberal countries such as Canada, France and Great Britain are recognizing under pressure from their citizens.
