In Kennedy's view, there is no evidence to suggest that Israel is doing anything wrong with the way it is bombing and dropping white phosphorus on the people of Gaza, who are dying by the thousands as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) crusade their way to victory.
"I don't think Israel's intention is genocide," Kennedy told Brand. "I don't believe there's any evidence of genocide."
Kennedy then proceeded to parrot the same claim recently made by Israel that the Zionist state is the very best when it comes to protecting civilian lives amid constant war.
"The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has protected civilians better than any army in history," Kennedy said.

(Related: RFK Jr. still considers Israel to be a "moral" nation despite its ongoing war campaign in Gaza.)
RFK Jr. says it's "genocide against Jews," not Gazans
If it stopped there, he might be able to get away with it. But Kennedy also believes that what is happening in Gaza right now is not a genocide against Palestinians but a genocide against Jews.
Even though the targets of IDF are all non-Jewish, Kennedy somehow convinced himself that it is Jews who are being slaughtered by the tens of thousands in that tiny land strip known as Gaza.
In the comments on several videos and X re-postings of Kennedy making these and other bizarre statements, people wondered what the 2024 presidential hopeful is thinking.
"Is he on some heavy drugs or has he lost touch with reality?" one said.
"The third option: Zionist brainwashing," responded another.
On X, someone claimed that IDF has already killed more civilians than any other army in history has for a war of this size. In the video below, listen as Max Blumenthal shares some of his own insights about Kennedy:

"I disagree vehemently with Max on things like the ridiculous scam for black reparations but I couldn't be any more impressed or have more respect for Max's courage, relentlessness, wealth of knowledge, and the ability to convey such rage-inducing thoughts in a crystal-clear representation of actual reality," one very impressed X user wrote about Blumenthal's words in the above video.
"He may be biased a little bit towards Palestine because from my point of view, you can never place any of these groups – any of them – in some type of pure vault where there's somehow always the victim no one hears who is always a victim, but what Israel's doing is not even in the same galaxy."
This person went on to write that while many people, including some of our readers, probably disagree with Blumenthal on other issues, this one is likely to ring a few bells for people who see that what he is saying holds weight.
Another person shared the following which also provides potential context as to the strategic way that Kennedy might be approaching winning the presidency:

Well RFK Jr. can't be "let off the hook" for being a complete moron so it has to be that his rabid Zionism has to do with money. Why he's willing to sound like a complete idiot when he talks about Israel and occupied Gaza is really something else. Just the fact that he's willing to cozy up to Rabbi Shmuley (Hollywood celebrity rabbi) is off-putting. It's either the money or the possibly that his Hollywood actress wife has told him she'll divorce him if he doesn't wholeheartedly support Israel. Maybe she's been told by the Hollywood powers that be that she'll never work in television again if her husband criticizes Israel. Whatever the case, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for a supposedly moral person (as RFK Jr. constantly goes out of his way to establish himself as) to state inanities like the people of Gaza are the most pampered aid recipients in the world'. I'd say Pfizer, Lockheed Martin and the State of Israel are.

Well I would guess that Robert Kennedy doesn't want to be assassinated by the Jews like his uncles Joe and John and his father Bobby.

The silly 'Israelis' who cling to the Old Testament law, have brought a curse on themselves by moving legally-defined borders and stealing Palestinian land. Deuteronomy 27:17 "Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark."

Too many fools think a genocide is happening when it ISN’T. Why not? The Palestinians will move to Britain and America and lots are already here 😱.
A few days ago I was doing some gardening. I like doing that 👍. The other side of my wooden fence is a path and just about everyone, every family or group of people, are speaking a language that isn’t English or Welsh 😱.
Then when you walk past an entrance to a local factory, you would think that place is a Uni 😱. They all speak to each other in languages you cannot understand 😱
London is by far the worst for this and I do my research. Most don’t. The whole place is SWIMMING with motorcycle gangs who smash, grab and steal whatever they can. Jeweller shops are most targeted and police couldn’t care less 😱😱😱. I guess now that the banks are all closed and we use crypto and cashless methods, the thieves must ADAPT.
Thieves are almost always of origins not British and I can tell you what a complete DISASTER it is to allow anyone to come here just like that. Rishi sent a few sons of a bitch back to Reading, my predictive text for Rwanda, but this is just spitting in the wind 😱.
Reading is the first major town westwards from London for those interested 🤗

I guess if you include the clot shots that Nutty-Yahoo gave to his own people. Other than that, YES there is an ongoing genocide in Gaza, and around the world. But hey, as long as the TV, political class and the Billionaire / Trillionaire's club says there is no genocide... they will be be burying all of us as a measure of policy, NOT genocide.

It is beyond me as to what RFKJr's real objective is in this year's presidential election. As far as I'm concerned, he' disruptive crosstown traffic!
