Robert F. Kennedy should be allowed to participate in presidential debates

By Ray Hanania

My most recently syndicated columns for this week, which are available to the public at www.RayHanania.com, address several issues.

My latest column addresses why it is important for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to be permitted to participate in any debate among the major presaidential candidates including President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy’s polling puts him in the region of more than 20 percent and he qualifies to be a major candidate. He can’t just be pushed aside because the biased, racist mainstream news media is trying to protect Biden, or because rightwing Trump supporters are concerned he will take votes away.

Both Trump and Biden are doing a poor job of addressing issues. If there is a debate, Kennedy has earned a place in the debates to express his views on how to address major issues and the failings of both Trump and Biden.

Other columns are available that address:

How Israeli, and the Biden administrated, conspired to justify giving Israel more than $40 billion.

Israel is the 5th most powerful nation in the world with the 13th strongest economy. So why are AMerican taxpayers being asked to give Israel $40 billion?

The column explains how criminally charged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (who faces three indictments) conspired with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to fabricate a conflict with Iran to justify receiving the $40 million.

Members of Congress — the majority are on Israel’s payroll receiving millions in campaign contributiond — gave Israel $14.1 billion in November 2023, and another $26 billion last week. But to do that, Israel needed to create a scenario in which they could argue that they needed to protect themselves from Iran.

So, Israel bombed Iran’s embassy in Damascus on April 1 and killed 16 Iranians, provoking Iran to respond with a hail of missile and drones. We know it was orchestrated because the U.S. and Great Britain, and a subservient Jordan, intercepted all of the missiles except for a small handful. The Iran response to the attack was used as justification for the Israel-controlled U.S. Congress to take an additional $26 billion from Americna taxpayers and give it to Netanyahu.

Why should Israel have to spend its own money to defend its violence when Americans can be made to do it?
