The Big Con(gress) 3
Added 2025-07-18 05:42:55 +0000 UTCWe are back with another installment of the Big Con(gress)—our ongoing exploration of that putrid cesspool on the Potomac, the United States Congress. In this episode we turn our focus back to the ongoing genocide in Palestine in the wake of yet another visit to Washington by notorious international war criminal, mass murderer, and genocidaire extraordinaire, Benjamin Netanyahu. With us again is Andrew Myslik, a former congressional staffer and our man in Washington.
We are now well into the second year of the Palestinian genocide. The utter lack of humanity that the members of Congress have shown to the Palestinian people is despicable. Rather than call for Netanyahu’s arrest and condemn Israel’s war crimes, which to be clear is absolutely warranted under international law, both the Trump administration and the vast bulk of both parties in Congress have, once again, rolled out the red carpet for the man. Join us as we look into not only why that is but also how this blind loyalty has played out over the last 20 months. We start with the obvious—the Israel lobby is moving a lot of money and effectively steering the ship when it comes to US political discourse about the Middle East. But we also dig deeper, and discuss the many different forms of moral and mental gymnastics that US Politicians must engage in to justify their acceptance of Israeli blood money.

2025-07-18 15:54:19 +0000 UTCThat's exactly right. At the end of the day, it is not only illegal and immoral what the US political establishment is doing to aid in this genocide, it is also deeply politically unpopular. So far the voice of the people has not breached the wall, but the dam has got to break sometime. Even as we disagree with and call out the hypocrisy of the likes of Tucker and MTG, they would not be saying what they are if there weren't a massive public yearning to hear something that confirms what they see, hear, and read everyday about the holocaust of our time. Always appreciate your listenership, support, and engagement, Fern. Thank you!!

2025-07-18 12:13:46 +0000 UTCThank you for your continued coverage on Israel and the US with respect to Palestine. The longer this genocide continues, the more it gets normalized by the media. We have to keep the pressure on members of congress, they can’t forget that they are part of the problem and are actively standing in the way of a solution.
