To understand why Congress goes along, Kucinich says, you have to go back to the Holocaust — a level of cruelty the world could not have imagined, which generated enormous and justified sympathy for the founding of Israel. [1] — Dennis Kucinich "Dennis Kucinich says his life has been guided by people who happen to be Jewish — and that Judaism's highest principle is tikkun olam, the …" 44:50 But then you have to unwind the history: the Balfour Declaration was never supposed to mean the subjugation of Palestinians; what was supposed to be an accommodation became a murderous generational oppression. Kucinich draws a sharp distinction between Judaism and Zionism. His own life, he says, has been guided by people who happen to be Jewish; he associates their influence with charity, care, and giving. But a virulent strain of Zionism — as practiced by Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir — has hijacked the tradition and replaced its spiritual core with a political agenda. The Jewish principle of tikkun olam means healing the world, not destroying it. That hijacking is the tragedy. He also explains the structural economic reason congressional members vote for the NDAA: every single district contains at least one defense contractor, whose lobbyists show up and cite jobs at stake. The merger provision rides to passage on the backs of those factory workers.
Dennis Kucinich says his life has been guided by people who happen to be Jewish — and that Judaism's highest principle is tikkun olam, the healing of the world. Zionism as practiced by Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir has hijacked that tradition and replaced it with a political agenda built on conquest and ethnic cleansing. The tragedy isn't just for Palestinians — it's for Judaism itself.
