Think asshole.
The last functioning hospital in Gaza was recently destroyed by Israeli bombs, with its stockpile of medical supplies that were recently delivered by the World Health Organization going up in smoke. Doctors were detained and are being held. No surgeons are left, while there are children with abdominal shrapnel injuries and some are bleeding to death. If this is a just war, I’m a banana. Gaza is now one big atrocity, a bombed-out cemetery, its ruins a monument of man’s inhumanity. In Khan Younis 60 percent of anything standing is destroyed. In Gaza City 75 percent of buildings have been turned into dust. In Jabalia 85 percent of buildings have been destroyed. The dead are now close to 50,000, while the wounded are too many to even start counting. Famine and disease are everywhere and raging. A willfully blind media hides the truth.
The Plan for Uncle Sam
This is not war asshole.
The genocide in Gaza mirrors the physical annihilation of Armenian Christians by the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks, who feared a nationalist revolt like the one that had convulsed the Balkans, drove nearly all of the two million Armenians out of Turkey. Men and women were usually separated. The men were often immediately murdered or sent to death camps, such as those at Ras-Ul-Ain — in 1916 over 80,000 Armenians were slaughtered there — and Deir-el-Zor in the Syrian desert. At least a million were forced on death marches — not unlike the Palestinians in Gaza who have been forcibly displaced by Israel, up to a dozen times — into the deserts of what are now Syria and Iraq. There, hundreds of thousands were slaughtered or died of starvation, exposure and disease. Corpses littered the desert expanse. By 1923, an estimated 1.2 million Armenians were dead. Orphanages throughout the Middle East were flooded with some 200,000 destitute Armenian children.
Organized Oblivion
Sheesh....you know so little about RFK.....
RFK had a ton of experience, silly one!
In 1951, Kennedy was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.[58][51] That November, he started work as a lawyer in the Internal Security Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, which prosecuted espionage and subversive-activity cases. In February 1952, he was transferred to the Criminal Division to help prepare fraud cases against former officials of the Truman administration before a Brooklyn grand jury.[59][60] On June 6, 1952, he resigned to manage his brother John's U.S. Senate campaign in Massachusetts.[61] JFK's victory was of great importance to the Kennedys, elevating him to national prominence and turning him into a serious potential presidential candidate. John's victory was also equally important to Robert, who felt he had succeeded in eliminating his father's negative perceptions of him.[62]
In December 1952, at his father's behest, Kennedy was appointed by family friend Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy as one of 15 assistant counsel to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.[63][64] Kennedy disapproved of McCarthy's aggressive methods of garnering intelligence on suspected communists.[65] He resigned in July 1953, but "retained a fondness for McCarthy".[66] The period of July 1953 to January 1954 saw him at "a professional and personal nadir", feeling that he was adrift while trying to prove himself to his family.[67] Kenneth O'Donnell and Larry O'Brien (who worked on John's congressional campaigns) urged Kennedy to consider running for Massachusetts Attorney General in 1954, but he declined.[68]
After a period as an assistant to his father on the Hoover Commission, Kennedy rejoined the Senate committee staff as chief counsel for the Democratic minority in February 1954.[69] That month, McCarthy's chief counsel Roy Cohn subpoenaed Annie Lee Moss, accusing her of membership in the Communist Party. Kennedy revealed that Cohn had called the wrong Annie Lee Moss and he requested the file on Moss from the FBI. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had been forewarned by Cohn and denied him access, calling Kennedy "an arrogant whippersnapper".[70] When Democrats gained a Senate majority in January 1955, Kennedy became chief counsel and was a background figure in the televised Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954 into McCarthy's conduct.[71] The Moss incident turned Cohn into an enemy, which led to Kennedy assisting Democratic senators in ridiculing Cohn during the hearings. The animosity grew to the point where Cohn had to be restrained after asking Kennedy if he wanted to fight him.[70] For his work on the McCarthy committee, Kennedy was included in a list of Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1954, created by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. His father had arranged the nomination, his first national award.[72] In 1955, Kennedy was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.[73]
Stevenson aide and focus on organized labor (1956–1960)
Kennedy, chief counsel to the Senate Rackets Committee, giving a briefing to the press about graft in the Operating Engineers Union, c. January 1958Kennedy went on to work as an aide to Adlai Stevenson II during the 1956 presidential election which helped him learn how national campaigns worked, in preparation for a future run by his brother, John.[74] Unimpressed with Stevenson, he reportedly voted for incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower.[75] Kennedy was also a Massachusetts delegate at the 1956 Democratic National Convention,[76] having replaced Tip O'Neil at the request of his brother John, joining in what was ultimately an unsuccessful effort to help JFK get the vice-presidential nomination.[77]
Senate Rackets Committee
From 1957 to 1959, he made a name for himself while serving as the chief counsel to the U.S. Senate's Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management (also known as the Senate Rackets Committee) under chairman John L. McClellan.[78][79] Kennedy was given authority over testimony scheduling, areas of investigation, and witness questioning by McClellan, a move that was made by the chairman to limit attention to himself and allow outrage by organized labor to be directed toward Kennedy.[80] In a famous scene, Kennedy and his brother John (also a member of the Senate Rackets Committee) squared off with Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa during the antagonistic argument that marked Hoffa's testimony.[81] Kennedy's investigations convinced him that Hoffa had worked with mobsters, extorted money from employers, and raided Teamster pension funds.[82] During the hearings, Kennedy received criticism from liberal critics and other commentators both for his outburst of impassioned anger and doubts about the innocence of those who invoked the Fifth Amendment.[83] Senators Barry Goldwater and Karl Mundt wrote to each other and complained about "the Kennedy boys" having hijacked the McClellan Committee by their focus on Hoffa and the Teamsters. They believed Kennedy covered for Walter Reuther and the United Automobile Workers (UAW), a union which typically would back Democratic office seekers. Amidst the allegations, Kennedy wrote in his journal that the two senators had "no guts" as they never addressed him directly, only through the press.[84] Although the Rackets investigations produced few criminal prosecutions, glossy magazines began running glowing spreads: Life ("Young Man with Tough Questions"[85]) and the Saturday Evening Post ("The Amazing Kennedys") helped raise the Kennedy profile.[86] "Two boyish young men from Boston," wrote a Look magazine reporter, "have become hot tourist attractions in Washington."[87] Kennedy left the committee in September 1959 in order to manage his brother's presidential campaign.[88] The following year, Kennedy published The Enemy Within, a book which described the corrupt practices within the Teamsters and other unions that he had helped investigate.[89]
