Neocon Smear Campaign
The neocons, who advocate for war, have been harshly criticizing me and fellow journalists lately for our anti-war stance. As is typical, neocons avoid confronting the core issue, which is the war with Iran that Israel instigated, and use their typical slander and smear tactics to attack those who oppose the war. Israel-First Alana Goodman, a pro-war fanatic at the neocon publication the Washington Free Beacon (owned by major AIPAC donor Paul Singer) is leading the latest series of attacks against me.
Max Blumenthal, an award-winning journalist, stated that Alana Goodman, whom he referred to as a “desperate neocon zombie,” had been stalking him for the past decade without any success. He continued that she is, “An admirer of the late genocidal fascist Meir Kahane...”
Goodman has also expressed her support for the “killing” of individuals she deems terrorists. Ms. Goodman, are the Palestinian children murdered in Gaza terrorists too? Just asking.
Goodman implied Netanyahu’s “exaggerated” nose was “age-old efforts to dehumanize Jews.” All the figures have exaggerated features — it’s a cartoon. More exaggerated noses are found on Senator Ted Cruz and the GOP elephants than on Bibi. Is that anti-Semitic as well? An anti-Semitic connotation of the word “Amalek” was alluded to by her. Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent comment about Iran was, “Remember what Amalek did to you. We remember and we act.” Am I not allowed to quote Bibi?
Her publication also contacted Politico for publishing my cartoon. Does Politico have the right to disagree with Goodman? This is likely an effort to censor my and other journalists’ anti-war reporting. Can Goodman provide a single example of me attempting to get her or another journalist banned? So much for the Free Speech and the US Constitution. Unlike Goodman, I’m enough of a journalist to link to her column below.
The word “anti-Semitism” has been so overused by Goodman and the Israel-first crowd to criticize their opponents that it has lost all meaning. For decades, it has been employed to ruin journalists’ and politicians’ careers, and is now being used to target college students and professors protesting the Gaza genocide. In Europe, they have been successful in passing hate speech laws that have led to imprisonment for expressing opinions, and there’s an effort to introduce such laws in the US. They bribe politicians from both parties, and those they can’t bribe, they blackmail, as seen with the Mossad agent Jeffrey Epstein scandal. They contact my employers, harass my family, and make slanderous accusations. For example, Zionist Congresswoman Susan Wild’s office had me fired from my part-time teaching position because of a joke I made during my own free time, not at work. I was well-liked by students and staff alike as a teacher. The only time I’ve ever been fired was due to a joke. It’s similar to Milan Kundera’s novel, The Joke. I deal with frequent IRS audits, politicians have called for my arrest, and I’m constantly defamed, all for voicing a First Amendment-protected opinion. People need to grow a backbone and stand up against these fascists. I am an American citizen, not an Israeli, and I will express whatever opinions I choose especially about a foreign country. I oppose the war with Iran, and am against the genocide against the Palestinian people. @#%&* Israel!
Both Goodman and I worked at the New York Post and the Weekly Standard. Did she inquire with any of our shared colleagues regarding the accuracy of her defamatory remarks? Nevertheless, because of our mutual ties, I will refrain from resorting to personal insults and slander against this truly untalented and vile person.
