Max Blumenthal spoke on May 8, 2024 at UMass-Amherst hours after state police brutally repressed an encampment of students protesting the US-backed genocide in Gaza. There, he addressed the Palestine solidarity uprising on campuses across the country, and explains how the elite reaction triggered by October 7 has exposed Israeli influence over the major American institutions, from academia to Congress to local law enforcement agencies.

Max is a fullblown antisemite, or more correct antihebrew. If you get your cool-aid from him you get a spirit from him as well, a spirit in resistance against the God of the Universe. Take heed. I know what I know after walked 40 years with God and in the prophetics. Take heed.
