In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño is joined by geopolitical researcher and author William Van Wagenen to dismantle the official narrative about Syria and the so‑called “Arab Spring.”

Van Wagenen breaks down how the Syrian war was engineered as a regime-change project aligned with the Yinon Plan, using Gulf-backed Salafist militants as Western and Israeli assets to fracture the region and rebrand jihadist proxies as a legitimate “government.”

On January 31, 2026, FBI agents and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Sugar Springs Drive in east Las Vegas, near Washington Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard. What they found inside triggered one of the strangest criminal cases in recent Nevada history. Authorities discovered what they described as an illegal biological laboratory concealed within the property, complete with a biosafety hood, a biosafety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators containing vials of unidentified liquids, red and brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and over 1,000 containers with unknown substances.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Delzotto described the scene as containing “a bio-safety hood, a bio-safety sticker, a centrifuge, multiple refrigerators, red-brown unknown liquids in gallon-sized containers, and refrigerated vials with unknown liquids.” Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed investigators recovered “evidence of possible biological material, including refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids” and said the items were “consistent in appearance” with those found in the 2023 Reedley, California case, per a report by ABC30.

A whistleblower reportedly told investigators that people who entered the garage became “deathly ill,” with at least one resident hospitalized for a respiratory illness. Testing of the materials was conducted at both the Southern Nevada Health District laboratory and the National Bioforensic Analysis Center in Maryland. Materials were later determined to be consistent with components for medical diagnostic test kits.

The man at the center of this investigation is Ori Solomon, a 55-year-old property manager who had been living in Las Vegas for over 20 years at the time of his arrest. Officers found an Israeli passport in the name “Ori Solomon” and a French passport in the name “Ori Salomon” at his residence. He was present in the United States on a non-immigrant visa. His primary occupation was managing short-term rental properties, and court records indicate he oversaw approximately 37 such properties in the Las Vegas area. He is not a trained biologist, and court documents note no publicly confirmed expertise in biological sciences. In a significant development, federal charges against Solomon were dropped in May 2026, with prosecutors stating “the Government has concluded that the interests of justice require dismissal of the complaint.”

Solomon managed properties for Chinese national Jia Bei Zhu, also known as David He and Jesse Zhu. Investigators described Solomon as an “agent and conspirator” with Zhu, noting that Zhu made 467 calls to Solomon in the weeks leading up to the raid. Zhu was already in federal custody in California linked to a 2023 illegal biolab in Reedley, California—a case that had attracted the attention of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. That committee found the illegal California lab was run by a PRC citizen who was a wanted fugitive from Canada and had evaded a multi-million million Canadian court judgment for stealing American intellectual property.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Elayna Youchah, who is of Sephardic Jewish extraction, presided over the initial federal detention hearing on February 6, 2026. She ordered Solomon’s release on his own recognizance, finding that the allegations were concerning but not severe enough to require detention, noting Solomon had no prior criminal history. She imposed conditions including surrender of all passports, travel restricted to the continental United States, required notification before leaving Clark County, and prohibition on possessing any firearms or weapons.

The federal prosecution was led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada, then headed in practice by Sigal Chattah—an Israeli-born attorney who bore the title of First Assistant U.S. Attorney after a federal judge ruled her interim appointment had been made illegally. A criminal complaint charged Solomon with one count of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. Multiple firearms were recovered at his residence, including handguns and rifles.

Then came the twist that has fueled speculation. Chattah’s office filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice the federal firearms complaint against Solomon. The motion stated only: “After a careful review of the evidence and additional information provided by defendant, the Government has concluded that the interests of justice require dismissal of the complaint at this time.” A spokesperson declined to explain the rationale. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning federal prosecutors retain the legal option to re-file.

Solomon still faces the Clark County felony charge for improper disposal of hazardous waste. With the federal case dismissed, there is public concern that Solomon could potentially regain his passports and leave the country before the state case is resolved.

This concern is not hypothetical. The Solomon case mirrors a separate, high-profile case involving an Israeli cybersecurity official charged with child sex crimes in the Las Vegas area in 2025. Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, the Executive Director of the Cyber Defense Division at Israel’s National Cyber Security Authority, was arrested on August 6, 2025, in Henderson, Nevada, as part of a multi-week joint undercover sting operation targeting child sex predators. Alexandrovich was among eight men arrested. He allegedly used WhatsApp and the dating app Pure to communicate with an FBI decoy posing as a 15-year old girl, agreeing to meet for “sexual contact” and bringing a condom to the meeting location.

Alexandrovich was attending the annual Black Hat USA 2025 cybersecurity conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas,which ran August 2-7, 2025,at the time of his arrest on August 6. He was booked at the Henderson Detention Center and charged with luring a child with a computer for sex acts, a Class B felony carrying 1 to 10 years in prison.

What happened next sparked immediate international controversy. Alexandrovich posted $10,000 standard bail, set without review by a judge at the time of booking, and flew back to Israel the following day, August 7, 2025. U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah, publicly stated Alexandrovich “should have had his passport confiscated by state authorities” and must be brought back to face justice. The U.S. State Department denied any federal intervention, declaring Alexandrovich “did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date.”

Alexandrovich’s case proceeded through the Nevada courts. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua, ordered remote appearances after he skipped his initial arraignment. He appeared via Zoom before Judge Schifalacqua in September 2025 and was barred from contact with minors and dating apps. A grand jury indicted him on one count of luring children with technology for sexual conduct. He pleaded not guilty via video before District Judge Tina Talim and a trial was set for March 2026. Judge Talim denied a motion to dismiss in November 2025, ruling the prosecution had established probable cause.

Meanwhile, the man at the center of the original biolab investigation has faced his own reckoning. On May 5 and 6, 2026, Jia Bei Zhu was found guilty on all 12 counts for fraudulently selling COVID-19 tests and lying to the FDA. His sentencing was scheduled for August 24, 2026, with a potential sentence of up to 31 years in prison.

To say that strange things are taking place in Sin City would be an understatement. When the layers of the Las Vegas biolab investigation are peeled back, it becomes evident that the “interests of justice” cited by prosecutors are effectively code for the protection of Jewish interests under the current American regime. Solomon’s immediate release and subsequent dismissal are not aberrations but consistent features of a system that has long been captured by Jewish interests hostile to the Historic American Nation.

The ease with which Solomon, a foreign national holding multiple passports, has navigated federal jeopardy exposes the double standard inherent in our society. While common citizens and those who vehemently oppose the Judeo-American order are relentlessly pursued by the state, those embedded within the trans-national Jewish network enjoy a tacit, systemic immunity. This is the hallmark of Empire Judaica—a framework that treats the security of the American people as secondary to the preservation of a Jewish tribe that acts with the same impunity in Nevada as the state of Israel does on the global stage.

The ongoing war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has sent shockwaves through global energy markets, creating extreme volatility and threatening the stability of critical transit points like the Strait of Hormuz. While the rest of the world braces for the economic fallout of these surging oil prices, Israel remains uniquely insulated from the chaos. This security is not accidental but rather the logical result of an arrangement where the United States acts as a de facto energy supplier of last resort to the Jewish state, ensuring that Israel remains fully supplied regardless of regional instability.

In September 1975, then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger signed a secret memorandum that committed the United States to guarantee Israel’s oil supply—an arrangement that has been quietly renewed and extended over the decades, most recently expanded to 15 years by the 1979 U.S.-Israel MOA signed alongside the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.

Everything begins with the 1973 Arab oil embargo, when OPEC nations cut off oil to the United States and other Western supporters of Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This shock exposed Israel’s extreme vulnerability. Israel depended heavily on oil from Egypt’s Sinai oil fields, which it had captured in 1967. When Kissinger began brokering disengagement agreements between Israel and Egypt through shuttle diplomacy, Israel faced a dilemma: giving back Sinai meant losing its own energy lifeline.

As part of the Sinai II Disengagement Agreement initiated on September 1, 1975, and formally signed on September 4, the United States and Israel signed a secret Memorandum of Understanding. In it, the United States pledged to guarantee Israel’s oil supply in times of crisis as compensation for Israel withdrawing from the Sinai oil fields at Abu Rudeis and Ras Sudar, which had supplied Israel with 4.5 million tons of oil annually. Essentially, Kissinger told Israel that if it gave back the oil fields, America would become its backup energy insurer—for an initial period of five years.

The specific terms of the 1975 agreement—confirmed verbatim in FRUS Document 227—committed the United States to step in as Israel’s oil supplier if Israel could not purchase oil on the world market, whether due to embargo, war, or other disruption. The agreement treated Israel as an IEA member for purposes of emergency oil sharing, even though Israel was not a member of the International Energy Agency, per the 2014 Congressional Research Service memo to the Senate Energy Committee. It gave “special attention” to Israel’s oil import needs when providing foreign assistance, and pledged to help arrange oil transport if Israel was unable to secure tankers on its own.

The agreement did not pass through Washington without initially raising concerns on Capitol Hill. Sen. William Proxmire (D-WI) voiced misgivings at the time that this commitment could harm the American economy. Kissinger sought to reassure Congress that the commitment would carry minimal economic cost. He stated that Israel required 140,000 barrels per day but could conserve during an emergency, tap into strategic reserves, and manage with imports of 100,000 barrels per day. Such an arrangement would have “no significant effect” on the American economy, he said, noting that consumption in this country surpasses 17 million barrels per day.

The original 1975 agreement was designed to last five years. When Israel and Egypt signed their 1979 peace treaty and Israel surrendered all its Sinai oil fields as part of the Camp David Accords, President Carter signed a new, expanded 15-year agreement formalizing the arrangement, signed by Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on June 22, 1979. The U.S. Congress passed specific legislation to enable this, including a special exception to the Export Administration Act’s prohibition on Alaskan oil exports to allow U.S. oil to reach Israel.

This agreement was extended by the Clinton administration in 1994 and the Bush administration in 2004. It expired in November 2014 when the Obama administration initially allowed it to lapse, but was renewed in April 2015 following bipartisan pressure from the Senate Energy Committee. The arrangement commits the United States to supply oil to Israel when Israel cannot secure it on the international market, at world market prices, under the same IEA emergency-sharing guidelines—a commitment that extends to Alaskan oil, making Israel the only country with a bilateral oil supply exception of this kind under U.S. export law.

The 1975 agreement was only one piece of a far larger American commitment to Israel’s energy security across the region. According to The Guardian, the vision of channeling Iraqi oil to the Israeli port of Haifa had long been a quiet ambition among certain figures in U.S. and Israeli policy circles. The reference to the “Haifa project” links this MOU to broader geopolitical ambitions around the old Kirkuk to Haifa pipeline, an oil route that once ran from Iraqi oil fields to the Israeli port city of Haifa but was shut down in 1948 at the start of the Arab-Israeli war. After the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, discussions re-emerged in Washington and Tel Aviv about re-building that pipeline. At the time, then-Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told British investors in 2003: “It won’t be long when you will see Iraqi oil flowing to Haifa.” The 1975 MOU, in this reading, forms the legal and diplomatic foundation for this broader energy partnership with Israel.

The MOU was never made fully public when signed. Kissinger told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee it would be disclosed but many details remained secret for years. The full text is now declassified and available in the State Department’s FRUS series. Israel has never actually invoked the agreement to request emergency oil from the United States.

In the current conflict with Iran, Israel can rest easy knowing it will be safe from any energy disruption, as the United States stands ready to provide for its every security and energy need. Over the last century, organized Jewry has ascended to command the heights of Western institutions, effectively turning the United States into Israel’s personal security and energy guarantor. Regardless of the crisis Israel encounters, it can count on Washington to bail it out—a testament to the fact that American foreign policy exists primarily to advance Israeli interests.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired with an undefeated professional record of 50-0, ranked by BoxRec as the greatest pound-for-pound boxer and greatest welterweight of all time. He won world titles in 5 weight classes and earned over $1 billion in purses and pay-per-view royalties during his career. Beyond his athletic achievements, Mayweather has emerged as one of the most prominent non-Jewish celebrity advocates for Israel, with connections to the Jewish community stretching back decades and deepening dramatically in recent years.

Mayweather’s earliest and longest-standing tie to the Jewish community was through Bob Arum, founder of Top Rank Boxing and one of the most powerful figures in the sport. Arum has spoken publicly about the role of Judaism in his life and his involvement with the Chabad movement. Arum promoted Mayweather from 1996 until 2006, when Mayweather left to found Mayweather Promotions. Their relationship was famously contentious, with Mayweather accusing Arum of underpaying him, but it placed Mayweather in close professional proximity to a prominent figure of the Jewish community for years. Arum promoted Yuri Foreman, a Belarus-born, Israel-raised professional boxer who held the WBA super welterweight title from 2009 to 2010. Foreman affectionately referred to Arum as “my other rabbi.”

The Jewish world that surrounded Mayweather’s professional career eventually drew him into direct contact with Israel itself. After his exhibition fight in Dubai against YouTuber Deji, Mayweather arrived in Israel in November 2022 for a surprise visit. He visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem and prayed there, strolled through Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda Market asking fans for shawarma recommendations, and attended the Tel Aviv basketball derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv as a guest of his friend Xavier Munford—a former Hapoel Tel Aviv point guard. He also visited Aish HaTorah’s headquarters in Jerusalem, where he met with Aish leadership including Rabbi Steven Burg, Aish’s CEO, beginning what became a lasting relationship with the organization.

The Aish connection deepened over the following months and became central to Mayweather’s public identification with Israel. In March 2024, Mayweather returned to Aish’s Jerusalem headquarters — overlooking the Western Wall—where Burg presented him with the Champion for Israel Award, “a special honor reserved for those who continue to advocate against hate and antisemitism and stand up for Israel.” Mayweather told the assembled crowd: “Aish has welcomed me and my team in Jerusalem before, and it is very exciting to be back. This place is amazing. Everyone should come and visit here.”

The same period that brought Mayweather closer to figures like Burg also brought him into contact with associates of a far more controversial kind. One of Mayweather’s most controversial connections to the Jewish community involves Jona Rechnitz, a Jewish businessman who became a close associate and friend. According to legal documents from a 2026 lawsuit Mayweather filed against Rechnitz alleging fraud, Rechnitz began developing a relationship with Mayweather around 2017 through a mutual acquaintance. Rechnitz had previously pleaded guilty in 2016 to conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud involving bribing NYPD officials, and later accompanied Mayweather to Israel in March 2024.

Whatever controversies later emerged from the Rechnitz relationship, Mayweather’s public alignment with Israel reached its peak in the months following October 7, 2023. Within days of the Hamas attack, Mayweather dispatched his private jet—”Air Mayweather”—to Israel loaded with over 5,000 pounds of supplies including food, water, and bulletproof vests for both IDF soldiers and civilians. He also posted on Instagram: “I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists... I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost.”

In December 2023, he was honored with the “Champion of Israel” award at an American Friends of Magen David Adom gala in Miami Beach, where the event raised $4 million. In March 2024, he traveled to Israel again, visiting the Dan Family Aish World Center in Jerusalem, where he received the Champion for Israel Award from the Orthodox outreach organization Aish, presented by Rabbi Steven Burg. He wore a Star of David hat and necklace, sang songs in Hebrew, and met with students. Also during the March 2024 trip, he visited United Hatzalah headquarters in Jerusalem and toured their Dispatch and Command Center, and separately visited Magen David Adom’s Marcus National Blood Services Center in Ramla, where he dedicated a fleet of ambucycles—the motorcycle-based emergency response vehicles—dubbed the “Floyd Fleet,” in the words of AFMDA CEO Catherine Reed: “The Floyd Fleet will save thousands of lives in record time and wouldn’t have been possible without him.”

The honors and visits soon translated into more substantial financial commitments. In October 2024, he donated $100,000 to United Hatzalah specifically for the purchase of 100 bulletproof vests for volunteers responding under fire. In December 2024, he donated $1 million to United Hatzalah at the organization’s annual Miami Gala, which raised $14 million total. He also launched the “Mayweather Israel Initiative,” a charity program aimed at giving free birthday presents to every Israeli war orphan, delivered via a van called the “Floyd Mobile.”

This sustained pattern of giving eventually drew recognition from the most prominent Jewish political organization in American politics. In November 2025, Mayweather attended the Republican Jewish Coalition Annual Leadership Summit in Las Vegas, where he received the “World Champion for Israel” award. He declared on stage, “I’m not with you guys 10 percent, 50 percent. I will always be the voice for the people in Israel. I will always stand behind the country of Israel.” The RJC honored him specifically for his financial donations, visits to injured IDF soldiers, and vocal opposition to antisemitism.

Unsurprisingly, Mayweather has publicly aligned with President Donald Trump—one of the most pro-Zionist presidents in American history—on multiple occasions. He attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017 and posed for photos with Trump and Donald Trump Jr. In early 2025, Mayweather appeared on Fox Business’s Making Money and declared, “I think Trump is a great president, actually he’s the best president in my eyes. He’s the best president we ever had. Great businessman, and that’s what it’s about.” Elon Musk reposted the video.

Outside the ballrooms and award galas, Mayweather’s buck-dancing for Israel has also exposed him to direct hostility. In December 2024, while at Hatton Garden jewelry district in London, Mayweather was confronted by a crowd after declaring he was “proud to support the Jews.” A member of the crowd took a swing at him; his security team evacuated him. Mayweather denied being “punched or touched in any way” in an Instagram statement.

Mayweather’s transformation from a ring general to a performative puppet for Jewish causes serves as a jarring reminder that even the most celebrated athletes can be molded into buck-dancers for Zion, who eagerly trade their dignity for the hollow approval of Jewish oligarchs that treats them as little more than a temporary prop in a grander project of subversion. Being a shabbos goy is a problem that transcends color lines. As long as public figures of all racial backgrounds and confessions are incentivized to submit to an agenda that is not their own, we will remain trapped beneath the suffocating grip of organized Jewry that requires our total cultural surrender to survive.

There’s no bobbing and weaving your way out of this dilemma.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the undefeated boxing champion who retired with a perfect 50-0 professional record and earned over $1 billion in career purses, filed a bombshell lawsuit in May 2026 against his former investment manager Jona Rechnitz, alleging a multi-year scheme to divert approximately $175 million from his accounts. The case has placed renewed scrutiny on Rechnitz, a convicted felon and former federal cooperating witness with documented connections to Orthodox Jewish political and charitable networks.

Mayweather’s complaint, filed in New York state court by attorney Leo Jacobs, names Rechnitz, associate Ayal Frist, Frist Apex Ventures—a Florida-based real estate and investment firm—and Manhattan attorney Alexander Seligson as defendants. The core allegation is that Rechnitz, who began cultivating Mayweather’s trust around 2017 and by 2024 had embedded himself as his investment manager, real estate adviser, and banking liaison, systematically redirected funds to accounts tied to himself and Frist. Mayweather alleges he did not know at the time that Rechnitz had previously pleaded guilty in federal court to honest-services wire-fraud conspiracy, or that a civil judgment in excess of $17.7 million had been entered against Rechnitz in a separate case.

Mayweather alleges that a $7.5 million wire on July 1, 2024 for a 12-month investment to Frist Apex Ventures produced no investment and the money was never returned. The complaint further alleges that $15 million in real estate settlement proceeds were diverted to Frist Apex at Rechnitz’s direction without Mayweather’s authorization— with Seligson allegedly verbally admitting to causing that transfer— that over $8.8 million of a $16.4 million loan on four of Mayweather’s properties was sent to Frist Apex with only $2.5 million reaching Mayweather Promotions, and that $2.1 million of an $8.2 million refinance of a Las Vegas property was directed to Frist Apex without authorization.

The lawsuit also details smaller but equally brazen diversions. Rechnitz allegedly diverted a $1 million deposit Mayweather agreed to pay on a New York property, sending it to a New York jeweler instead, causing the property deal to collapse. Nearly $100 million in Mayweather’s jewelry was allegedly pledged to 2 Miami jewelers for only $13 million, with a substantial portion of the jewelry still in the jewelers’ possession. Mayweather also claims he signed a bill of sale for his Gulfstream jet at Rechnitz’s suggestion with the buyer’s name left blank, and he does not know who purchased the aircraft or where the proceeds went.

Rechnitz’s attorney Morris Missry pushed back forcefully, calling the claims “utterly baseless and refuted by substantial documentary evidence including Mr. Mayweather’s own correspondence.” The defense also threatened to expose Mayweather’s own financial issues, stating that “Mr. Mayweather’s gambling issues, prolific spending habits, monies owed to third party creditors and IRS tax liens and levys, as well as other unseemly behavior will be exposed.”

The relationship between the two men dates back several years. Rechnitz first approached Mayweather at a basketball game, presenting himself as a celebrity jeweler and courtside regular. By 2021, Rechnitz was considered part of the “Money Team”, Mayweather’s entourage, wearing black T-shirts and TMT baseball caps. The relationship deepened through the Mayweather vs. Logan Paul exhibition fight in June 2021, in which Rechnitz organized ticket sales and introduced the EthereumMax cryptocurrency promotion. As recently as May 2025, Mayweather had publicly defended Rechnitz, stating he trusted him.

Long before he entered Mayweather’s orbit, Rechnitz had grown up in a world far removed from boxing. Jona Rechnitz was born into a wealthy, politically connected Orthodox Jewish family based in Los Angeles, California. He attended Yavneh Hebrew Academy, a prestigious private Jewish school, and graduated from Yeshiva University Los Angeles High School in the same class as conservative pundit Ben Shapiro. He later attended Yeshiva University in New York.

His family represents a broader web of Orthodox Jewish political power. His father Robert Rechnitz served as former chair of the West Coast region of American Friends of Likud, the U.S. nonprofit that promotes Benjamin Netanyahu’s political party. Robert also chaired the Iron Dome Congressional Tribute held at the U.S. Senate on February 27, 2013, and served as national finance co-chair for Senator Lindsey Graham’s 2016 presidential campaign. His cousin Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz is an ultra-Orthodox philanthropist who operates a large nursing home network in California and was identified by the Forward as one of the largest donors to Netanyahu’s reelection campaign in December 2014.

Rechnitz began his career at the U.S. branch of Africa Israel Investments, the international real estate empire owned by Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev—the so-called “King of Diamonds”—where Rechnitz rose to Director of Acquisitions. He then founded his own real estate firm, JSR Capital, and settled on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

His entire business and social infrastructure was built on Orthodox Jewish community networks. In New York, he partnered with Jeremiah Reichberg, a liaison between the NYPD and the Orthodox Jewish community in Borough Park, Brooklyn. His diamond dealer relationships in Los Angeles were largely within the tight-knit Orthodox diamond industry.

The defining scandal of Rechnitz’s career is the NYPD corruption case. From approximately 2008 to 2016, Rechnitz and Reichberg ran a systematic bribery operation targeting senior NYPD officials. The scheme involved chartering private jets to fly police officials to Las Vegas for a Super Bowl watch party in February 2013—the $60,000 jet included a prostitute as entertainment—paying hotel costs for police officers’ family vacations to Rome, buying expensive watches, and funding home renovations. They arranged for an NYPD counterterrorism squad to provide security for a midtown synagogue following the 2015 Paris attacks outside proper authorization channels. They also arranged for police to shut down part of the Lincoln Tunnel for Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev. In exchange, the officials provided gun license processing favors, parking perks, security details, and general influence within the department.

In 2016, Rechnitz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud. He became a cooperating government witness whose testimony prosecutors described as “without exaggeration, one of the single most important and prolific white collar cooperating witnesses in the recent history of the Southern District of New York.”

His testimony led to multiple convictions. Norman Seabrook, president of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, was convicted on bribery charges after Rechnitz delivered $60,000 in cash inside a Ferragamo handbag in exchange for Seabrook directing $20 million in union pension money into hedge fund Platinum Partners. Murray Huberfeld, founder of Platinum Partners, was sentenced to 30 months. Jeremy Reichberg was convicted on bribery and related charges and sentenced to 4 years.

Simultaneously, Rechnitz was a major fundraiser for NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s 2013 campaign. He testified that he and Reichberg raised over $100,000 for de Blasio’s favorite causes expecting political favors in return. Rechnitz also admitted to doctoring emails from Mayor de Blasio and forwarding them to friends to exaggerate his own importance and influence.

At his December 2019 sentencing, Judge Alvin Hellerstein sentenced Rechnitz to 5 months in prison and 5 months of house arrest, far less than the 20 years he faced, and ordered him to repay up to $10 million to the COBA union. He did not serve a single day in prison for nearly a decade after his 2016 guilty plea. By March 2026, he was re-sentenced to the same 5-month term with a surrender date of May 8, 2026, but has been fighting even that sentence.

After relocating to Los Angeles, Rechnitz’s luxury jewelry business Jadelle faced at least 13 lawsuits from jewelers and creditors. Jewelers Peter Voutsas and Ira Rovinsky filed a joint suit claiming Rechnitz had stolen jewelry worth $7 million that had been consigned to them, pawning it for a fraction of its value. Real estate investor Victor Noval alleged Rechnitz borrowed $2.9 million using diamonds as collateral—diamonds that were allegedly not his to pledge—and then issued checks that bounced. Jeweler Oved Anter, who had consigned $2.8 million in jewelry to Jadelle, alleged fraud in a separate suit, describing Rechnitz’s operations as “one of Jona Rechnitz’s blazing trail of Ponzi scheme frauds.” The FBI investigated the alleged theft or taking by fraud of millions of dollars in diamonds while on consignment with Jadelle, per a U.S. attorney filing.

In 2021, Rechnitz played a central role in the promotion of EthereumMax, a cryptocurrency alleged to be a pump-and-dump scheme. According to a class action lawsuit, Rechnitz provided EthereumMax insiders access to high-profile celebrities willing to promote the token in exchange for payments, allegedly making hundreds of thousands of dollars by liquidating his EMAX tokens when he knew celebrity promotions would temporarily inflate the price. One confidential witness in the lawsuit alleged that Rechnitz “confirmed to CW1 that EthereumMax was a scam.” Celebrity co-promoters included Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather, and Paul Pierce.

Separate from EthereumMax, Rechnitz allegedly organized a ticket resale scheme around the Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight in June 2021 and subsequent boxing events. Rechnitz solicited a $1.4 million investment from neighbor and landlord Joe Englanoff, promising up to 10x returns from ticket markups, then repeatedly delayed payment and reinvested without authorization into successive fights. In a striking detail documented by the Atavist, Robert Rechnitz placed his hand on a Torah scroll to personally guarantee payment—which never came. Englanoff filed a 2022 lawsuit against both Rechnitz and Mayweather for $15 million in breach of contract.

The Mayweather lawsuit against Rechnitz is the latest in a decade long pattern. Rechnitz has faced lawsuits from jewelers, real estate investors, boxing event organizers, and now Mayweather himself, all alleging similar schemes of gaining trust, redirecting funds, and failing to pay back victims. Despite pleading guilty in 2016, being sentenced in 2019, and re-sentenced in March 2026, he has still not begun serving his sentence.

This uncanny legal immunity underscores the formidable institutional protections that shield figures embedded in Jewish networks. Mayweather spent a lifetime mastering the art of the bob and weave, yet he proved utterly defenseless when faced with the machinations of a Jewish schemer like Jona Rechnitz. Despite his vocal support for Israel and attempts to curry favor with the Jewish establishment, Mayweather found that in this high-stakes game, the house always wins and the age-old axiom holds true: with Jews, you lose.

When Abraham Foxman died on May 10, 2026, tributes poured in from presidents, prime ministers, and Jewish leaders worldwide, yet his legacy remains defined as much by controversy as by accomplishment.

Foxman described himself as “a passionate supporter of the State of Israel” and spent his career building the ADL into a roughly $60 million per year organization that defined mainstream American Jewish advocacy on antisemitism, civil rights, and the Jewish state.

Foxman was born Avraham Chanoch Hanach Fuksman on May 1, 1940, in Baranovichi, then under Soviet occupation, now Belarus. When German forces entered Vilnius in June 1941 and began subjecting the Jewish population to forced labor and deportation, his parents placed their 15-month-old son in the care of his Polish Catholic nanny Bronisława Kurpi. Kurpi baptized the child into the Catholic Church, gave him the Polish Christian name Henryk Stanisław Kurpi, and raised him as a Catholic in Vilnius for four years. He learned to pray the rosary, attended church every Sunday, and genuinely believed he was Catholic.

His parents survived the war. After bitter custody battles—Kurpi initially refused to release him, telling the Fuksmans, “I raised him, and he belongs to me, and he is Catholic”—the family escaped to a displaced persons’ camp in Vienna in 1947 and arrived in the United States in 1950.

Foxman settled in Brooklyn, attended the Yeshivah of Flatbush, earned a Bachelor of Arts from the City College of New York, and received his J.D. from New York University School of Law. He joined the ADL in 1965 as a legal assistant and rose quickly through the organization’s ranks. When longtime director Nathan Perlmutter died of cancer in July 1987, Foxman became National Director.

Under Foxman’s 28-year leadership, the ADL built a formidable research arm monitoring white advocacy groups, neo-Nazis, and other dissident groups. The ADL expanded its international reach with consultations across Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Foxman was appointed to the council of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 and was re-appointed by Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden—making him, as the USHMM confirmed, “the only member of the Museum’s governing Council to be appointed by four presidents from both parties.”

With Foxman at the helm, the ADL also advocated for LGBTQ rights, including protesting the Supreme Court’s 2000 ruling in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale—which held 5-4 that the Boy Scouts could exclude a gay scoutmaster on First Amendment associational grounds. The organization also developed diversity training for law enforcement agencies and advocated for policies promoting mass migration.

Foxman operated at the center of American Jewry. The ADL and AIPAC were close partners in White House meetings and lobbying coordination. Foxman was a key participant in the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and worked closely with the American Jewish Committee on public advocacy.

Further, Foxman was one of the most internationally active American Jewish leaders of his era. In March 2012, releasing the ADL’s survey of ten European countries, Foxman warned that antisemitism in Europe remained a dangerous reality. “In Hungary, Spain and Poland the numbers for anti-Semitic attitudes are literally off-the-charts and demand a serious response from political, civic and religious leaders,” he stated—findings based on poll data showing 63% of Hungarians, 53% of Spaniards, and 48% of Poles holding antisemitic views.

Foxman held consultations in Russia on “problems of ethnic hatred, violence, terrorism and promoting democracy,” attended Limmud FSU conferences engaging Russian-speaking Jewish youth, and remained deeply concerned about antisemitism in post-Soviet states. He consistently condemned Arab and Palestinian resistance and Hamas’s liberation agenda. He insisted that much criticism of Israel crossed into antisemitism, arguing: “If the only nationalism that you find apartheid in is Jewish nationalism, then you’re an anti-Semite.”

Retiring in 2015, Foxman warned that antisemitism was “the worst that it has been since World War II, and it is global”—saying he “never thought anti-Semitism would still be a clear and present danger to Jews around the world.” In 2024, he delivered an address at the ADL’s “Never Is Now” conference stating that antisemitism is “a disease without an antidote and without a vaccine.”

Foxman viewed Iran under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an existential threat. In a 2007 speech to the ADL National Commission, he declared: “The greatest threat to the Jewish people and closest thing to dangers of the 1930s and 1940s is a potent cocktail consisting of the ideology of hate from an Iran with a potential nuclear weapon. This is an existential threat to Israel from an irrational regime that must be taken with the utmost seriousness.” When Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted content questioning the Holocaust on Twitter in 2014, Foxman responded: “Once again, the injection of Holocaust denial by an Iranian leader shows the world how such deep-seated hatred exists at the helm in Iran. We have seen the Ayatollah spew his vehement animosity toward Jews before on other national occasions in Iran and these statements once again show the bigotry and hypocrisy of this regime.”

Weeks before his death, Foxman backed the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. On February 28, 2026—the day the war broke out—he posted on social media: “Thank you President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu for standing up to evil and jihadist extremism. The world hopefully will be a better and safer place in the future.”

Foxman’s willingness to take controversial public stands was no late development. He led or supported numerous high-profile campaigns throughout his career. When Nation of Islam spokesperson Khalid Abdul Muhammad delivered a speech at Kean College in November 1993 referring to Jews as “bloodsuckers” and calling for the genocide of white people, Foxman’s ADL ran a full-page ad in The New York Times reprinting Muhammad’s statements. This mobilization directly contributed to Congress issuing a bipartisan condemnation of the speech in February 1994.

Foxman regularly addressed antisemitic or borderline remarks by public figures. In September 2003, during pre-release controversy over The Passion of the Christ, he asserted that Gibson’s remarks were painting “the portrait of an anti-Semite”—though he walked back the characterization the following day, and by February 2004 told ABC’s Diane Sawyer that Gibson was not an anti-Semite and the film was not antisemitic. Foxman co-authored the 2013 book Viral Hate: Containing Its Spread on the Internet with attorney Christopher Wolf, who served as national chair of the ADL Civil Rights Committee, addressing how antisemites and racists exploited the internet.

Foxman produced several other books warning about the alleged scourge of antisemitism. Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism appeared in 2003. The Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control came out in 2007 as a direct rebuttal to John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, which Publishers Weekly described as “a rebuttal of a pernicious theory about a mythically powerful Jewish lobby.”

Not all of Foxman’s tenure at the ADL would be remembered in such favorable terms. In April 1993, San Francisco police and the FBI executed searches at ADL offices in California and discovered that the organization had been running an extensive domestic intelligence operation for decades. The operation centered on Roy Bullock, an undercover operative and art dealer who had collected files on more than 12,000 individuals and 950 organizations for more than three decades. His targets included not just white advocates and neo-Nazis but also Arab American groups, the American Civil Liberties Union, the African National Congress, Central America solidarity organizations, Greenpeace, the Earth Island Institute, approximately 20 San Francisco area labor unions, anti-apartheid activists, and Jewish peace groups. Bullock had also sold information to South African intelligence for $16,000.

Foxman denied any improper activity while testifying that the ADL had a right to do “whatever it must” to monitor antisemitism and threats to Jews. Critics across the political spectrum condemned the operation as a massive breach of civil liberties.

One of the most sustained controversies of Foxman’s career involved his refusal to unequivocally recognize the Armenian genocide. Critics, including the Armenian National Committee of America, accused Foxman of “genocide denial” motivated by the ADL’s desire to maintain good relations with the Turkish government. The backlash was severe. A dozen Massachusetts communities and the Massachusetts Municipal Association withdrew from the ADL’s “No Place for Hate” program. The ADL’s 2007 statement that the “consequences” of Ottoman actions were “tantamount to genocide” was widely rejected as insufficient because it circumvented the “intent” required under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention. Foxman also sent a letter to Turkish Prime Minister Erdoğan expressing regret over the difficulty his position caused for the Turkish government. It was not until May 2014 that Foxman publicly and unambiguously used the word “genocide” in remarks at Suffolk University Law School’s commencement, after years of sustained pressure.

The Armenian Genocide controversy was not the only multi-decade fight to mark Foxman’s career. Foxman engaged in a 22-year campaign against paleoconservative commentator Pat Buchanan. After Buchanan’s 2011 book Suicide of a Superpower was published, Foxman called him “a racist and an anti-Semite.” Buchanan was suspended from MSNBC in January 2012 and fired in February, and he publicly credited Foxman with playing a role in his dismissal. The ADL published a formal report titled “Patrick Buchanan: Over the Line.” Buchanan described Foxman as leading efforts to “blacklist” him, working “behind closed doors, with phone calls, mailed threats, and off-the-record meetings.” In a similar vein, Justin Raimondo, founder of Antiwar.com, was one of the most sustained libertarian critics of the ADL and Foxman. Raimondo argued that the ADL used antisemitism accusations to suppress foreign policy debate.

Whatever his American critics made of him, Foxman moved comfortably among Israel’s top political leadership across multiple governments. Foxman met with multiple Israeli prime ministers, some of whom made direct appeals to President Bill Clinton for the Marc Rich pardon. Foxman cooperated with World Jewish Congress leader Edgar Bronfman on major campaigns including Holocaust-era Swiss bank restitution. While the primary negotiation was led by Bronfman and the World Jewish Congress, the ADL under Foxman was a coalition partner in pressing Swiss banks to settle Holocaust-era claims, which resulted in a $1.25 billion settlement in 1998.

Foxman made a well-documented intervention in favor of fugitive financier Marc Rich’s pardon from President Clinton. The ADL had received $250,000 from Rich over a period of 16 years, including a $100,000 pledge made just before Foxman traveled to Paris. In February 2000, Foxman met at a Paris restaurant with Avner Azulay, head of the Marc Rich Foundation, and Zvi Rafiah, an Israeli arms consultant, and it was Foxman himself who proposed the strategy of recruiting Denise Rich to approach Clinton for a pardon. “I told them maybe they should consider trying to get a pardon,” Foxman said. “I told them, ‘Why don’t you reach out to Denise Rich... and have her approach the president and see about a pardon.’”

He wrote Clinton on December 7, 2000, urging a pardon on the grounds that “we are a country that was founded on the belief in second chances.” New York Times columnist William Safire called for Foxman to resign, writing that Rich’s $250,000 to the ADL had “induced its national director to lobby President Bill Clinton for forgiveness and thereby bring glee to the hearts of anti-Semites.”

Abraham Foxman was the consummate architect of a specific brand of ethnic activism, relentlessly searching for every angle to advance Jewish institutional interests and cement a landscape where the concerns of world Jewry were elevated above all others. Yet, even as he built these formidable structures of influence, he unwittingly accelerated the very forces he claimed to fight.

His career served as a catalyst for a tide of grassroots resentment against World Jewry that has only surged since October 7, 2023. Like many of his kin who sought to reshape Western nations in their own image, Foxman dedicated his life to the systematic erosion of gentile civilization for the benefit of his tribe.

Now that he has exited the stage, he leaves behind a nation awakening to the nature of his subversion. May he face that eternal justice that human institutions could not provide, aware that the tide has finally turned against the Jewish supremacist agenda he spent his entire life promoting.

Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) defeat on May 19, 2026 represents the latest chapter in a decades-long campaign by the Israel lobby to eliminate Republican dissenters from Congress. Thomas Massie, the libertarian Republican from Kentucky who represented his district for seven terms, lost his May 19, 2026 primary to the Donald Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein by a margin of 54 to 45 percent.

The race shattered records, surpassing $35 million in total spending per FEC data and becoming the most expensive House primary in American history, according to ad tracking firm AdImpact. Super PACs backing Gallrein poured more than $16.4 million into defeating Massie—compared to roughly $10.1 million that independent groups spent supporting him—with pro-Israel organizations and donors accounting for the dominant share of anti-Massie outside spending.

Massie’s ouster was not an isolated event. It represents the latest and most expensive example of a pattern that has persisted since the 1970s. The Israel lobby, led primarily by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its affiliated political action committees, has systematically targeted Republican members of Congress who deviate from unconditional pro Israel foreign policy positions. The record is clear. When a Republican votes against Israeli aid, meets with Palestinian leaders, backs Arab arms sales, or calls for evenhandedness, AIPAC responds with coordinated donor networks, PAC money, and media campaigns to fund their challenger.

The Case of Paul Findley

Paul Findley served as a Republican representative from Illinois for 22 years. He was a co-author of the 1973 War Powers Act and an outspoken advocate for engaging with the Palestine Liberation Organization. He met multiple times with PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, famously calling himself “Arafat’s best friend in Congress.” He demanded the suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel on grounds that Israel was using American weapons in violation of U.S. law during its 1982 invasion of Lebanon.

AIPAC declared Findley its “number one enemy” and his campaign the “principal target of Israel’s lobby” in the early 1980s. The organization coordinated pro-Israel PAC fundraising for his Democratic opponent, Dick Durbin—now the senior senator from Illinois. AIPAC raised over 80 percent of Durbin’s $750,000 in campaign funds from around the country, defeating Findley by fewer than 1,500 votes. As Findley later wrote: “In 1982, when AIPAC claimed credit for keeping me from election to a 12th term in the House of Representatives, I became the lobby’s prize trophy.”

The Political Execution of Pete McCloskey

Pete McCloskey was a decorated Marine combat veteran who represented San Mateo County, California as a Republican from 1967 to 1983. He was the first Republican to call for Nixon’s impeachment and a leading anti-Vietnam War voice in the GOP. In 1982, McCloskey ran for an open U.S. Senate seat in California.

His campaign was damaged by his call to slash aid to Israel unless it gave up its territorial claims in Gaza and the West Bank. He lost the Republican primary to future governor Pete Wilson and acknowledged his controversial positions on Israel were a contributing factor in his defeat, per The Los Angeles Times.

Charles Percy: The Illinois Senator Who Refused AIPAC’s Loyalty Oath

Charles Percy served as a Republican U.S. senator from Illinois from 1967 to 1985, rising to become Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In 1975, Percy declined to sign the AIPAC-sponsored “Letter of 76” protesting President Ford’s threatened “reassessment” of United States-Israel relations. In 1981, Percy voted for the Reagan administration’s sale of Boeing AWACS early warning radar planes to Saudi Arabia—a sale AIPAC had mounted its largest ever lobbying campaign to block. Percy had also publicly called PLO leader Yasser Arafat “more moderate” than other Palestinian resistance figures, clarifying he meant “relative moderate” only in contrast with George Habash’s Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Then-AIPAC Executive Director Tom Dine coordinated a massive nationwide fundraising effort against Percy. California-based AIPAC donor Michael R. Goland personally spent $1.1 million on independent anti-Percy advertising in Illinois. Percy narrowly lost to Paul Simon by 50.1 to 49.9 percent. After the defeat, AIPAC’s Tom Dine delivered what became the most notorious boast in Israel lobby history: “All the Jews in America, from coast to coast, gathered to oust Percy. And the American politicians—those who hold public positions now, and those who aspire—got the message.”

The Fall of Roger Jepsen

Roger Jepsen served as a Republican senator from Iowa from 1979 to 1985. He was one of the most vocal opponents of the Reagan administration’s 1981 AWACS sale to Saudi Arabia, sponsoring a Senate resolution to disapprove the sale. In his own words, he had opposed the sale because “weakening Israel violated his religious conscience,” according to The Harvard Crimson.

But under White House pressure, Jepsen stunned the Senate by reversing his vote at the last minute in favor of the sale. The AWACS vote switch had been a major campaign issue in his 1984 race against Democrat Tom Harkin, who attacked Jepsen relentlessly for breaking his promise on the AWACS sale. Harkin defeated Jepsen in a landslide, winning by more than 150,000 votes.

The Million Dollar Hit on John Hostettler

John Hostettler represented Indiana’s 8th Congressional District for six terms from 1995 to 2007 as a staunchly paleoconservative, anti-interventionist Republican. After losing his seat in the 2006 Democratic wave, he attempted a comeback in the May 2024 Republican primary and was crushed by a coordinated, million-dollar campaign led by the Israel lobby. AIPAC labeled Hostettler “one of the most anti-Israel Republicans in Congress” during his time on Capitol Hill. He voted against virtually all foreign aid as a matter of principle, including aid to Israel. He was one of only six House Republicans to vote against the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq.

After leaving Congress, Hostettler self-published Nothing for the Nation: Who Got What Out of Iraq in 2008, arguing that a primary motivation for the Iraq War was protecting Israel, driven by neoconservative political appointees whom he identified by their Jewish backgrounds.

The United Democracy Project, AIPAC’s super PAC, spent approximately $1.57 million in attack ads against Hostettler—marking the first time UDP ever intervened in a Republican primary since AIPAC created it in 2021. The Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund spent an additional $955,000 supporting Hostettler’s opponent, State Senator Mark Messmer.

RJC CEO Matt Brooks announced the campaign with an explicit threat: “Let there be no doubt: if you stand against Israel, if you stand against the Jewish community, the Republican Jewish Coalition will work to defeat you.” Hostettler lost the May 7, 2024 primary decisively, with Messmer besting him by roughly 20 percentage points and going on to win the general election in the heavily Republican district.

The Takedown of Thomas Massie

Thomas Massie compiled a consistent record of opposition to Israel related legislation over fourteen years. He voted against every foreign aid package to Israel, consistently citing fiscal conservatism and opposition to all foreign aid. In 2021, he was the only member of the Republican caucus to vote against a standalone Iron Dome defense funding bill for Israel.

In October 2023, Massie was the only Republican “no” vote on Speaker Mike Johnson’s pro-Israel resolution after the October 7 Hamas attack. He explained the resolution called for sanctions he opposed as a prelude to war, asserted foreign aid commitments he had voted against, contained “open-ended” military support language, and could broaden the conflict geographically.

Days before his defeat, Massie introduced the “AIPAC Act,” legislation that would require AIPAC to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. In the 2026 primary, the United Democracy Project spent more than $4.1 million against Massie, per FEC data. The RJC Victory Fund spent approximately $3.9 million. MAGA KY, a Trump-aligned super PAC managed by Trump aides Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio and backed by pro-Israel billionaires including Paul Singer and Miriam Adelson’s Preserve America PAC, spent $7.5 million primarily on anti-Massie ads. Combined, the three PACs linked to pro-Israel donors spent more than $15.5 million in the race, per FEC data cited by Al Jazeera.

Massie stated throughout the campaign, “They’ve tried to buy my vote for 14 years, and it was never for sale.” After conceding, Massie remarked, “I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede, and it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.” He added, “For 14 years, those SOBs in Washington tried to buy my vote. They couldn’t buy it. Why did the race get so expensive? Because they decided to buy the seat, and it got really expensive for ‘em.”

AIPAC posted on X within minutes of the result, “Congratulations to US Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein for defeating anti-Israel incumbent Thomas Massie! Pro-Israel Americans are proud to back candidates who support a strong [US-Israel] alliance and help defeat those who work to undermine it. Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!”

The Percy Factor Lives On

Tom Dine’s boast after Percy’s 1984 defeat was not merely gloating. It was a deliberate message to every remaining member of Congress. Political scientists and former members have documented how the Percy and Findley defeats produced a “chilling effect” on congressional speech about Israel for decades. The Washington Post identified this as the “Percy Factor” in a 1986 analysis.

The same logic applied again in 2026, on a massively amplified financial scale. Massie explicitly acknowledged the deterrence logic: “If I lose on May 19, I’ll be out of Congress... The one whistleblower, if you will, in Congress, will be gone.” Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear, no political ally of Massie’s, stated: “Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much. But billionaires and special interest groups don’t get to pick our leaders.”

The pattern from Findley to Percy to Hostettler to Massie remains consistent. Republicans who challenge unconditional support for Israel face coordinated, heavily funded campaigns to remove them from office.

The Generational Shift

Yet the Israel lobby’s grip on American politics may not endure. Polling data reveals a striking generational divide that portends significant challenges for pro Israel forces in the years ahead.

According to Pew Research, 41 percent of Republicans overall hold an unfavorable view of Israel. Among Republicans ages 18 to 49, that figure climbs to 57 percent unfavorable, up from 50 percent in 2025. Among Republicans 50 and older, approximately three in four maintain favorable views of Israel. The generational divide within the Republican Party has grown as pronounced as it is among Democrats.

A November 2025 Big Data Poll found only 29.1 percent of US voters side with Israel overall, declining from the 54 percent sympathy peak measured after October 7, 2023. Among young Republicans aged 18 to 29, the same poll revealed 33.4 percent prefer Palestine versus 27.9 percent supporting Israel, a historic reversal. And 52.9 percent of America First Republicans aged 18 to 29 now characterize Israel’s Gaza attacks as “genocide,” while only 29.2 percent reject the label.

A December 2025 IMEU and YouGov poll of Republican voters uncovered a striking Fox News variable. Netanyahu’s net approval among Republicans who regularly watch Fox News stands at plus 49. Among non-Fox News Republican viewers, that figure plummets to plus 11, a 38 point shift. Among Republicans under 45 who do not regularly watch Fox News, Netanyahu’s net approval falls to minus 8.

The same poll revealed significant policy implications from this shift. 51 percent of Republicans under 45 said they would prefer supporting candidates who would reduce US aid to Israel. 53 percent said the United States should not renew the annual aid commitment to Israel. 52 percent of Republicans overall and 59 percent of Republicans under 45 would prefer a primary nominee who prioritizes lower prices for Americans over funding Israel.

Just 23 percent of Republicans under 45 and 31 percent of Republicans overall prefer a nominee who supports unconditional funding for Israel. 48 percent of Republicans agreed that “legitimate criticism of Israel that should be protected under free speech is too often accused of being antisemitic,” while only 23 percent disagreed.

The Israel lobby can still muster tens of millions of dollars to unseat individual dissenters like Thomas Massie. But the demographic trends point in one direction. Younger Republicans increasingly reject unconditional support for Israel and favor candidates who prioritize American economic interests over foreign entanglements. As these voters age into the electorate and older, more reflexively pro-Israel cohorts pass from the scene, the lobby’s stranglehold on Republican foreign policy will loosen. For advocates of a restrained foreign policy free of Zionist influence, these trends augur well for the future.

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sits down with Dr. Kevin Barrett to discuss the real driving forces behind U.S. foreign policy.

Barrett moves past the superficial narratives of partisan politics to uncover the deeper history of the “Kosher Nostra”—the nexus of Jewish organized crime, intelligence-backed false flags, and the manufacturing of the Trump persona.

He dissects how the “Shaytan Accords” (Abraham Accords) were used to force Gulf Arab vassals into submission, how the Zionist network functions from Argentina to the Middle East, and why the “anti-war” movement has been systemically lobotomized by liberal NGO capture and state-level repression.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced on May 14, 2026 the introduction of his 83 page ASSIMILATION Act, legislation he claims would “GUT the Hart-Celler Act of 1965” and “scrap provisions of the Immigration Act of the 1990s.”

“The goal of this bill is simple: end replacement migration and ensure American cultural cohesion,” Ogles tweeted. “This bill will end the H-1B scam, ensure migrants NEVER become a public charge, and make America look like America again. FYI, net immigration immediately decreases by 85% under this bill.”

The congressman detailed additional provisions including a “National Interest Standard,” “Stringent Character Tests,” “Mandatory E-Verify,” ending chain migration and the diversity lottery, gutting birthright citizenship, tougher asylum standards, stronger public charge rules, a ten year citizenship requirement, and “English & American Civics PROFICIENCY.”

On paper, this represents exactly the kind of legislation immigration restrictionists have demanded for decades. In practice, anyone holding their breath for its passage should prepare for disappointment. The Republican Party’s demonstrated allegiance to corporate interests that profit from mass immigration ensures this bill will never become law.

Offering a sobering reality check, Breitbart News reported that over a dozen House Republicans have now endorsed Rep. Maria Salazar’s (R-FL) “Dignity Act,” legislation that would grant amnesty to most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens while expanding legal immigration levels by channeling more foreign workers into American jobs.

Salazar first introduced this amnesty plan in 2022 during the largest wave of illegal immigration to the United States in recorded history under President Joe Biden. The legislation would initially provide amnesty to approximately 10.5 million illegal aliens who resided in the United States before 2021, provided they satisfy certain requirements, while more than doubling employment based legal immigration and dramatically expanding foreign student programs to ensure special corporate interests receive a steady supply of foreign labor.

The list of Republican co-sponsors for the Dignity Act reveals the depth of pro-amnesty sentiment within the GOP leadership class. Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY), David Valadao (R-CA), Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Gabe Evans (R-CO), Marlin Stutzman (R-IN), Don Bacon (R-NE), Young Kim (R-CA), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), James Baird (R-IN), Lloyd Smucker (R-PA), Kimberlyn King-Hinds (R-MP), James Moylan (R-GU), Monica De La Cruz (R-TX), Nick LaLota (R-NY), Neal Dunn (R-FL), Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA), and Zachary Nunn (R-IA) have all signed onto this amnesty legislation.

We should also not forget that Cuban Republicans can never be trusted on immigration restriction matters and will invariably play a role in scuttling such legislation. María Elvira Salazar, Mario Díaz-Balart, and Carlos Giménez each represent South Florida districts with strong Cuban exile connections. Each has devoted years to constructing legislative frameworks that could become the vehicle for the largest immigration overhaul since the Simpson-Mazzoli Act legalized nearly three million illegal aliens in 1986.

Díaz-Balart has championed the pro-amnesty cause longer than nearly anyone in the Republican caucus. In March 2021, he was among only nine Republicans in the House to vote for the American Dream and Promise Act, which included a citizenship pathway for DREAMers. He co-sponsors the Dignity Act, and his decades of work provide him with cross-aisle relationships few Republicans can rival.

Giménez holds a middle position. On his congressional website, he states he supports allowing illegal aliens to “come out of the shadows and be placed on a path to legal status,” while drawing a firm line against blanket citizenship. His willingness to defend Venezuelans facing deportation indicates he is no hardliner.

These three did not appear from nowhere. They represent the latest chapter in a Cuban Republican tradition of promoting immigration expansion that extends back to former representatives Lincoln Díaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in addition to current Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was a prominent amnesty advocate during his time in the U.S. Senate.

Lincoln Díaz-Balart, Mario’s brother, authored NACARA in 1997, granting legal residency to hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Guatemala, El Salvador, and former Eastern Bloc countries. On the House floor he stated, “I think it is our moral obligation and a requirement of elemental fairness that at the very least these refugees be considered under the rules in existence when they filed their applications.”

Ros-Lehtinen, the first Cuban American elected to Congress, became the second Republican to co-sponsor a Democrat-led comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2013 and consistently defended DREAMers throughout her career. Rubio, now Secretary of State, played the most dramatic role. He helped craft the Gang of Eight bill in 2013, which passed the Senate 68 to 32 with a thirteen year citizenship pathway for 11 million illegal immigrants. He argued, “Leaving things the way they are, that’s the real amnesty.” He later retreated during his 2016 presidential run, but the bill remains the most ambitious immigration reform to clear either chamber since 1986.

The same impulse that animated Rubio in 2013 has found new champions in the current Congress. Rep. Mike Lawler’s role in pushing the Dignity Act cannot be overstated. Lawler defends this by pointing to his wife, Doina, a naturalized citizen from Moldova, and arguing that “our immigration system should be based on the economic needs of the country.”

The New York congressman maintains an extensive record of promoting immigration expansion. In February 2026, Lawler co-led a bipartisan letter alongside Rep. Yvette Clarke (R-NY) signed by 100 members of Congress urging DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to exempt the healthcare sector from a $100,000 H-1B visa fee. He subsequently introduced the H-1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act to eliminate the fee entirely for medical professionals. He has also championed Haitian nationals, introducing H.R. 1689 to mandate Temporary Protected Status and collaborated with Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) office to release a Haitian student from ICE detention.

Conservative backlash has been intense. The Daily Caller described Lawler as “attempting to resurrect an amnesty plan that was shut down before it could even take off.” Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) noted that “Dignity for Americans—the people whose interests we represent—should come first, not illegal aliens.” Despite this, Lawler enjoys the support of over 85 organizations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, and FWD.us, many of which benefit from expanded immigration.

As of May 2026, in the 119th Congress, Republicans hold 217 seats and Democrats hold 212 seats, with 5 vacancies and 1 independent caucusing with Republicans. That gives Republicans a 5 seat margin over Democrats, though the majority threshold is 218 seats when all seats are filled.

With nearly two dozen Republicans already supporting the Dignity Act, Andy Ogles’s ASSIMILATION Act is dead on arrival. The math simply does not work. Even if every other Republican voted for genuine immigration restriction, the pro-amnesty bloc within the party possesses sufficient numbers to kill any serious legislation. They need only join with Democrats to form a majority that favors immigration expansion over restriction.

Republicans remain beholden to Big Capital and financial interests that want never-ending streams of immigration to prop up home asset values while allowing corporate oligarchs to feast off low wages. The party’s donor class has made its preferences clear, and elected Republicans have responded accordingly.

Ultimately, the reason for this systematic failure stems from the Republican Party’s total capitulation to corporate interests that consider mass immigration vital for preserving cheap labor supplies. The financial ties between pro-immigration corporate lobbies and Republican politicians expose a party that has betrayed its electoral base for corporate money and immediate profits.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest business lobbying organization and a known booster of mass migration, shows overwhelming Republican preference. The Chamber has consistently donated 70 to 95 percent of its contributions to Republicans since 1990, spending $76.4 million on lobbying in 2024 with substantial portions devoted to immigration expansion.

Likewise, the National Association of Manufacturers contributed $297,500 to Republicans (70.4%) versus $125,000 to Democrats (29.6%) during the 2021 to 2022 election cycle. NAM explicitly advocates for increased employment based immigration quotas, reform of temporary worker programs, and legal status for illegal alien workers.

The agriculture industry has also contributed a record $41.3 million to Republicans (69.1%) versus $18.5 million to Democrats (30.9%) in the 2024 election cycle. Tyson Foods affiliates alone contributed $886,000 in the 2024 cycle, with approximately 80 percent directed to Republicans. This is particularly egregious given that Tyson employs 42,000 foreign-born workers, 35 percent of its U.S. workforce, and has stated it “would like to employ another 42,000 immigrants if we could find them.”

Anything less than fundamental systemic change amounts to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The era of working within a captured Republican Party has ended. The demographic transformation of America’s two largest Republican states—Florida and Texas—under total GOP control already stands as the most devastating indictment possible of the party’s commitment to its stated principles. At the federal level, where such oligarchical power is even more pronounced, immigration restriction is a fantastical proposition given the constellation of forces that favor Mass Migration Inc. Republicans cannot be trusted because they have already demonstrated, through their governing record in Florida and Texas, that they will sacrifice America’s demographic future for corporate donor contributions.

Andy Ogles deserves credit for introducing legislation that nominally addresses the scale of America’s immigration crisis. But anyone who believes the ASSIMILATION Act represents the beginning of genuine reform misunderstands the forces arrayed against it. The Republican Party has chosen its side, and that side belongs to the corporate donors who profit from cheap labor, not the American workers who suffer from it.

Smart money points to this bill dying in the House. That’s the cold, hard truth.

Juan Orlando Hernández walked out of the U.S. Penitentiary Hazelton in West Virginia a free man on December 1, 2025. The former president of Honduras, sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for his role in conspiring to move approximately 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, had obtained a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. Ostensibly, this represented an extraordinary reversal for a man federal prosecutors had characterized as running a Central American narco-state. In truth, explosive recordings leaked months later suggested it looked like something else entirely.

The Hondurasgate Leaks

In late April 2026, Spain’s Canal RED together with the anonymous Honduran investigative outlet Hondurasgate published 37 voice notes from WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram recorded between January and April 2026. The outlets stated they authenticated the audios using the forensic tool Phonexia Voice Inspector. The voices identified include Hernández, current President Nasry Asfura, Vice President María Antonieta Mejía, Congress President Tomás Zambrano, and National Electoral Council official Cosette López Osorio.

Beginning April 30, 2026, Spain’s Canal Red—working with the anonymous investigative outlet Hondurasgate, founded by Honduran journalists and operating from Switzerland—published 37 voice notes extracted from WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram exchanges, with the full release completed by May 6. The outlets stated they authenticated the recordings using the forensic tool Phonexia Voice Inspector, developed by Czech company Phonexia, which is used by intelligence agencies and law enforcement in more than 60 countries. The voices allegedly identified include Hernández, current President Nasry Asfura, Vice President María Antonieta Mejía, Congress President Tomás Zambrano, and National Electoral Council official Cosette López Osorio.

The recordings allegedly discuss the pardon, a plan for Hernández’s return to power at the end of Asfura’s term, “information cells” to attack the governments of Mexico and Colombia, and instructions regarding opposition figures described as warranting “jail or death.” That last threat was directed at Marlon Ochoa, an opposition electoral councilor who has since fled Honduras and applied for asylum abroad. Hernández publicly denied the recordings on X, writing “That is clearly not my voice,” and separately characterized them as a “campaign of disinformation” by “the radical left with its international ideological partners.” Zambrano called for the recordings to be sent to “specialized laboratories in the United States” for independent analysis.

In what the Hondurasgate investigation describes as a January 20 recording, a voice attributed to Hernández states: “The prime minister of Israel is going to support us. We are very grateful to him—they had everything to do with my departure and negotiation.” In a separate March 14 recording, the same voice allegedly tells Asfura: “The pardon money didn’t even come from you. It came from a group of rabbis and from people who supported Israel.”

These are extraordinary allegations. The recordings have been authenticated by Phonexia’s commercial forensic software and covered by Middle East Eye, The New Arab, and multiple Latin American outlets, but have received minimal coverage from major U.S. media. Independent forensic verification beyond the Hondurasgate team’s own analysis—including full chain-of-custody documentation and device metadata—has not yet been publicly released. The recordings remain unverified to criminal evidentiary standards.

Who Is Juan Orlando Hernández?

Hernández served as president of Honduras from 2014 to 2022, representing the conservative National Party. His presidency combined a hard-line security posture with close alignment to U.S. counternarcotics policy and an exceptionally pro-Israel foreign policy stance. He was extradited to the United States shortly after leaving office and convicted in 2024 in a Manhattan federal court for conspiring to import more than 400 tons of cocaine into the country. On December 1, 2025, President Trump pardoned Hernández—a day after right-wing National Party candidate Nasry Asfura was declared winner of the Honduran presidential elections.

Origins in Israeli Development Programs

The Hernández-Israel connection stretches back decades. He attended a MASHAV leadership program in Israel in 1991 as a young man, describing it as “a life-changing situation” that profoundly shaped his worldview. He returned to Israel as president in October 2015, meeting with then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who was serving his third term—and addressing the World Jewish Congress in Jerusalem. At that event, he declared: “As long as I am president, Honduras will stand behind Israel.”

The Embassy for Security Trade

In January 2019, Netanyahu orchestrated a trilateral meeting on the sidelines of Jair Bolsonaro’s inauguration in Brazil, bringing together Hernández and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo specifically to advance Honduras’s move of its embassy to Jerusalem. Israeli officials acknowledged the embassy relocation was linked to Israel’s willingness to help Honduras improve strained relations with the Trump administration.

In June 2021, Hernández flew to Israel for the inauguration of the Honduras embassy in Jerusalem, making Honduras the fourth country in the world to do so after the United States, Guatemala, and Kosovo. A critically important detail emerged from Israeli media reports after Hernández’s February 2022 arrest. According to Channel 12 in Israel, when Hernández visited Israel in June 2021 for the embassy ceremony, he told officials in the government of Naftali Bennett that Netanyahu’s predecessors had promised to do everything they could to prevent his extradition to the United States in exchange for moving the diplomatic mission from Tel Aviv. Netanyahu’s associates denied this account.

Military Cooperation and Diplomatic Support

The Israel-Honduras military relationship under Hernández was extensive. In December 2016, Hernández flew to Jerusalem to meet Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to finalize a $209 million bilateral defense cooperation agreement—the largest military deal Honduras had ever signed—covering the upgrading of aircraft, acquisition of naval weapons and surveillance drones, and cybersecurity systems for Honduras’s intelligence service. By 2019, Israel had become Honduras’s largest arms supplier, per the SIPRI Arms Trade database. In May 2019, following an agreement negotiated at the Bolsonaro inauguration, 1,000 Israeli soldiers arrived at the Soto Cano Air Base in Palmerola—under a trilateral agreement with the United States—to train the Honduran Armed Forces and National Police in border protection, drug trafficking interdiction, and counterterrorism.

Honduras also became a notable customer of Israeli surveillance technology: Cellebrite tools were used by the Honduran Police Directorate of Investigations for 939 phone extractions between 2017 and 2022, and NSO Group’s Pegasus was deployed during the Hernández years.

The ZEDE Connection and Tech Oligarchs

A largely underreported dimension of the pardon story involves the Zones for Employment and Economic Development that Hernández championed throughout his presidency. Originally enacted under his tenure as Congressional President in 2013, the ZEDE framework allowed private corporations to establish semi-autonomous territories within Honduras with their own courts, laws, tax systems, and private police forces. These zones attracted Silicon Valley investment — most notably a venture called Próspera on the Caribbean island of Roatán, backed by Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and Marc Andreessen, which received $120 million in investment. When leftist President Xiomara Castro took office in 2022, Honduras’s Congress unanimously repealed the ZEDE law. Próspera subsequently filed an $11 billion investor-state arbitration claim against Honduras.

The Pardon and Roger Stone

Trump ally Roger Stone began publicly lobbying for Hernández’s pardon in January 2025, authoring an article titled “How President Trump Can Crush Socialism and Save a Freedom City in Honduras.” The piece called for Trump to pardon Hernández as a means of dealing “a final death blow to Castro” and saving the Próspera experiment. Stone has since taken partial credit for the pardon, claiming to have sent Trump a four-page letter from Hernández requesting clemency.

The official Washington story of the pardon was already striking before the leaks. According to Axios, Trump pardoned Hernández days before Honduras’s November 30, 2025 election after Roger Stone wrote multiple Substack posts and personally lobbied Trump, and after Hernández wrote a four-page letter to Trump addressing him as “Your Excellency.” Stone described it as “lawfare” by Honduras’s left and the Biden DOJ.

The Hondurasgate Financing Layer

The recordings introduce a more politically charged allegation. Per the leaks, Stone served as the public-facing American operator while Netanyahu and a network of pro-Israel donors and rabbis are described by Hernández as the actual financiers and diplomatic brokers. Hernández himself allegedly acts as the in-country fixer who sees himself as the ultimate political beneficiary, with a return to the presidency at the end of Asfura’s term as the stated goal.

In one audio, Hernández reportedly tells Asfura: “I want to believe that you are not going to cast me aside because, thanks to me, you are sitting in that chair. I will be president, and I expect your support, because that is what we discussed with President Trump.” To Zambrano, he allegedly stated: “I sent you the people from Israel, they sent you money. I am lobbying here.”

Nasry Asfura, who was declared winner of the November 30, 2025 Honduran presidential election on December 24 after a three-week disputed count, traveled to Israel on January 18, 2026—10 days before his January 27 inauguration—meeting with Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. Netanyahu said the two countries were “refashioning the relationship between Israel and Honduras.”

Asfura is, with some irony, of Palestinian Christian descent—his family migrated to Honduras from the West Bank. Yet his ideological alignment is firmly with the Israeli right and with the Trump administration that endorsed his candidacy. A race traitor of the highest order.

What Israel and the U.S. Allegedly Get in Return

The recordings, plus the documented public conduct of the Asfura government since January 2026, point to a coherent package of strategic benefits. However, the two categories of evidence carry different evidentiary weight.

What is confirmed from Asfura’s actual actions in office: he has refused to condemn Israel’s military conduct in Gaza; he withdrew Honduras from The Hague Group—a coalition of nations committed to defending international law in Palestine—on March 4, 2026, the same day the group held a ministerial meeting attended by representatives from 40 countries, a timing Mondoweiss described as “strategic”; and he announced Honduras’s intention to return its ambassador to Tel Aviv, recalled under Castro in 2023 in protest over Gaza.

What the recordings allege includes plans to establish a new U.S. military base in Honduras, with audio of Asfura telling Hernández of plans for a new Palmerola-type base in Roatán; to expand the ZEDE framework into new territories including Roatán and Comayagua; and to create legislation favorable to investment by U.S. and Israeli artificial intelligence companies.

The Hondurasgate recordings lay bare the mechanics of an international Jewish power structure, one that views the global map as its personal playground and sovereign nations as mere chattel. By deploying useful shabbos goyim like Juan Orlando Hernández to secure their interests, organized Jewry demonstrates that its reach is not limited to the Middle East, but is actively converting foreign states into occupied zones of extraction. Honduras has been reduced to a literal crop field, cultivated by Israeli-aligned oligarchs to serve a system of Jewish supremacy that requires the total abandonment of local sovereignty.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) refuses to work with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on opposing funding for Israel but she had no problem joining Republican superhawks to take punitive action against China. That contradiction showcases the fake nature of AOC’s progressive dissent.

At a University of Chicago Institute of Politics appearance in May 2026, a student asked whether the political left should be open to aligning with MTG given her recent break from Trump and the MAGA movement. AOC flatly rejected the proposition, arguing that MTG’s bigoted track record disqualifies her as a credible voice on what is “good for Gazans and Israelis” and that the left should not normalize alliances with figures who have promoted white nationalist ideology.

Yet as Max Blumenthal observed, AOC showed no such hesitation when it came to joining Republican hawks to confront China. In October 2019, AOC co-signed a bipartisan letter with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), and Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ)—8 lawmakers in total—urging the NBA to suspend its activities in China. The letter expressed “deep concern” over the league’s response to China’s backlash against Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey for tweeting support for Hong Kong protesters.

“We are deeply concerned that individuals associated with the league may now engage in self-censorship that is inconsistent with American and the league’s stated values — and that this incident will only encourage further intimidation of American companies and persons by the Chinese government,” the letter read. It urged the NBA to “put our fundamental democratic rights ahead of profit” and demanded the league reevaluate its training camp in Xinjiang.

The contrast speaks to a broader pattern. AOC will build coalitions with neoconservative hawks to pressure a geopolitical rival, but refuses tactical alliances with Republicans who might actually reduce military aid to Israel. This selectivity is not incidental, as it reflects a decade-long record in which AOC’s most consequential foreign policy votes have aligned with the foreign policy uniparty rather than the anti-war Left she claims to represent.

AOC’s most divisive foreign policy moment came in September 2021 when she switched her vote from “no” to “present” on $1 billion in Iron Dome funding for Israel. She was photographed crying on the House floor. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Cori Bush (D-MO) voted no. The episode became the original sell-out moment on the progressive left, and the Democratic Socialists of America, which had endorsed her, condemned the vote.

In July 2025, AOC voted against a Republican amendment by Marjorie Taylor Greene that would have stripped $500 million for Iron Dome from the defense appropriations bill. She argued it would remove defensive capabilities while allowing offensive weapons to continue. The DSA called her position “disappointing and incongruous” given her own acknowledgment of genocide in Gaza, issuing a statement that “an arms embargo means keeping all arms out of the hands of a genocidal military, no exceptions.” The organization praised Reps. Tlaib, Omar, Summer Lee (D-PA), and Al Green (D-TX) for voting the other way. Greene’s amendment failed overwhelmingly, 6–422.

At the 2024 Democratic National Convention, AOC declared that Kamala Harris was “working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire” in Gaza. Anti-war critics panned this as cover for the administration’s continued arms shipments to Israel. Glenn Greenwald, writing at the time, called it an outright lie: Israeli officials had publicly boasted that the United States never pressured them on a ceasefire, yet AOC was providing the administration political cover before a Democratic primary audience.

On Ukraine, AOC has been a reliable vote for military escalation. She voted “yes” on H.R. 8035, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2024, which provided $60.84 billion in total assistance, of which $23.2 billion was directed to the Pentagon for military support. This earned her a positive score from the establishment group Foreign Policy for America on the Ukraine supplemental vote. Her office repeatedly emphasizes that she “voted for the toughest sanctions in recent memory” against Russia.

At the Munich Security Conference in February 2026, she ruled out a negotiated end to the war. “We shouldn’t reward imperialism, and I don’t think that we should allow Russia to continue, or any nation, to continue, violating a nation’s sovereignty,” she declared.

The most revealing episode came in October 2022 when AOC signed onto the Progressive Caucus letter calling for negotiations with Russia in Ukraine. Then, within 24 hours, she and 29 other signatories co-signed the withdrawal of that letter after pushback from party leadership.

This is the same individual who praised John McCain in August 2018, stating, “John McCain’s legacy represents an unparalleled example of human decency and American service. As an intern, I learned a lot about the power of humanity in government through his deep friendship with Sen. Kennedy. He meant so much, to so many. My prayers are with his family.” McCain, the architect of numerous regime change operations and advocate for military intervention throughout the Middle East, apparently embodied human decency in AOC’s moral universe. She has also expressed support for Iranian agitators—backed by the Mossad and other intelligence agencies under the grasp of world Jewry—on Twitter back in January, writing, “The Iranian government’s violent crackdown on demonstrators is horrific and must stop now. All people have the right to protest their government without fear of violence. I support the Iranians taking to the streets to call for a better future.”

One must look past the carefully curated social media persona to see the reality: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has successfully used anti-war rhetoric to dupe her progressive constituents, all while serving as a reliable instrument of the Jewish supremacist foreign policy apparatus. Her trajectory demonstrates a clear willingness to abandon her stated principles the moment they conflict with the requirements of the influential party elite or power interest groups pushing for endless conflict. By backing the very policies she claims to oppose, she secures her ascent within the totem pole of the Democratic Party, effectively providing a progressive veneer to a regime at the thrall of world Jewry.

With political integrity in such short supply, Representatives like Thomas Massie stand alone in opposing every foreign policy machination coming out of DC, as every other representative effectively functions as a cog in an interventionist machine that provides no real choice for those who desire genuine foreign policy change. When push comes to shove, AOC will become just another DC politician who talks a big game about reform but does nothing of substance to roll back Washington’s nefarious foreign policy schemes.
