Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Senate Democrats consider boycotting Israeli leader’s speech

Whose side are they on? When polled, almost no Democratic senator would commit to attending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s joint speech to Congress in March.

Essentially, these partisan hacks are telling us that they are willing to put their party ahead of the nation and the threat from Islam. I think every liberal Jew who has voted with knee-jerk regularity for Democratic politicians should read this very closely and open their eyes.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Let them, they support the president, why should they attend? let them all tell the world that Israel can go straight to hell, just like the president.

    Lets all wait for this leader of nations to reveal his “secret” negotiations with Iran. Lets see, Iran will be getting everything and anything they desire for “promising” not to blow Israel up when they achieve nuclear weapons grade. Thats how he works it, he will long gone from office before the true effects of his activities will be revealed.

    Interesting dilemma for the Dems. Attend and incur the wrath of Dear Leader or stay away and alienate some of their constituents. Wish I could attend.

    If they boycott his speech its just because it fits with their idiotic theory that “they” hate the US just because we support Israel.

    They forget that most of the middle east was allied with Germany in WWII. Just because they to hated Jews.
    They forget that even before WWII Arabs were systematically attacking Jews all across the Middle east including Egypt. The Brits tried to stop it in many ways but even they couldn’t find a way to keep everyone happy and not at the throats of the Jews. And for this the Brits became hated also.

    And they hate the Us because we finished the Brits work in establishing Israel.

    Plus we are not a Muslim nation under Sharia law.

    But the left has a theory and they will put it to the test no matter what the possible consequences are if it fails.

    Benjamin Netanyahu is nearly peerless in terms of being a courageous world leader, while Barack Hussein Obama ranks near the bottom. If the Democrats wish to ally themselves with Obama, let them. The electorate will not forget whose side they were on at this juncture in history. So many Republicans seem feckless and cowardly these days. But the Democrats are arrogant and corrupt. History’s clock is ticking, and not to their advantage.
