Andrew Cuomo supports Israeli genocide of Palestinians

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, along with legislative leaders in the New York State Assembly and State Senate, announced their support for the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians:

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and top state legislators are heading to Israel this week for a two-day visit as a "demonstration of solidarity" with that country in the conflict in Gaza, the Democratic governor announced Sunday. 

Cuomo, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate co-leaders Dean Skelos and Jeff Klein will travel to Israel on Tuesday. Cuomo said the delegation would meet with Israeli leaders and visit residents affected by the fighting. 

"Friends stand together in times of crisis, and I am proud to lead this bipartisan delegation to Israel to reaffirm our friendship and support," Cuomo said in a statement emailed to reporters.

If you thought Cuomo tampering with witnesses who testified before the Moreland Commission was bad (it's not only bad, it's illegal), this, in my opinion, is even worse. Cuomo, along with Democratic and Republican leaders in the New York State Legislature, publicly support an ongoing genocide that is being carried out by the Zionist, Benjamin Netanyahu-led government of Israel against Palestinian people.

To those who accuse me of being "anti-Israel" or "pro-Palestine", I'm not "anti-Israel" or "pro-Palestine" at all. I support the right of both Israel and Palestine to exist as sovereign countries. However, I don't support is the current Zionist government of Israel, and I don't support the current Hamas government of Palestine. Most importantly, I don't support genocide.

Zephyr Teachout, who is running against Cuomo in the Democratic primary (provided that the courts allow Teachout to run against Cuomo), won't be a shill for Israel or Palestine. She'll fight for progressive policies that will restore New York's middle class and improve the quality of New York's public education system. I strongly encourage Democrats in New York state to support Teachout for governor should her name appear on the primary ballot.

Federal prosecutor threatens to investigate New York Governor Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo, the Governor of the State of New York, could have to face a federal criminal investigation for obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Preet Bahara, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, has issued a warning to Cuomo and his crones that he is threatening to investigate Cuomo and his cronies over Cuomo's closing of the Moreland Commission, which was tasked with weeding out political corruption in New York state government:

The letter from prosecutors, which was read to The New York Times, says, “We have reason to believe a number of commissioners recently have been contacted about the commission’s work, and some commissioners have been asked to issue public statements characterizing events and facts regarding the commission’s operation.”

“To the extent anyone attempts to influence or tamper with a witness’s recollection of events relevant to our investigation, including the recollection of a commissioner or one of the commission’s employees, we request that you advise our office immediately, as we must consider whether such actions constitute obstruction of justice or tampering with witnesses that violate federal law.”

If you need another reason to support Zephyr Teachout, who is running against Cuomo in the Democratic primary, there it is. Cuomo shut down the Moreland Commission because they were going to expose Cuomo for the morbidly corrupt politician that he is, and now federal prosecutors are seriously considering investigating Cuomo and his cronies.

I live in Illinois, the state that twice elected Rod Blagojevich, who was one of the most corrupt individuals to have ever held elected office in this country's history, and New York's Andrew Cuomo strikes me as another Blagojevich.
