In Israel’s treatment of Occupied Palestine, Israel has been violating international law for decades. Under international law, an occupying power is not permitted to incorporate the occupied land into its own domain. However, Israel has persistently done so, evicting Palestinians from their homes, villages, and farm lands in order to build apartments for Jewish immigrants.
As people learned of the fate suffered by Palestinians at Israel’s hands, criticism of Israel’s policy toward Palestinians by human rights activists grew, and boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movements arose.
These developments are inconvenient for Israel. Israeli media have indicated that the Israeli government is ready to complete the annexation of Palestine by evicting the remaining Palestinians and incorporating the remaining Palestinian land into Israel. Prior to taking this step, Israel wants to silence critics and prevent BDS action.
In the US the Israel Lobby has attempted to have the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, and the Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act passed. However these acts clearly violate Constitutionally-protected free speech and protest, and Congress, although happy to please the Israel Lobby, doesn’t want to pass acts that the Supreme Court will obviously overturn. The ACLU opposes these acts on First Amendment grounds.
So the Israel Lobby has turned to Donald Trump to achieve by executive order what they have not achieved by legislation.
As the Israel Lobby has succeeded in equating criticism of Israeli government policies with anti-semitism or hatred of Jews, Trump’s executive order against anti-semitism permits the US government to cut off money to universities and organizations in which criticism of Israel is expressed in lectures, colloquiums, or debates.
Trump’s executive order has initiated a debate whether Trump has in effect declared Jews to be a nationality. See, for example, https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/trump-creates-a-new-nation/ and
https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/newsfromunderground/IuhQIQZgu_w/3M3-kW-1BwAJ .
This is the wrong debate. The issue is why should Israel be the only country among the approximately 200 on earth whose policies cannot be criticized? Why should Israel be the only country that cannot be sanctioned and boycotted? Why should this special protection be given to Israel at the expense of the US Constitution.
Trump’s executive order silences the Palestinians and those sympathetic to their dispossession. Why in an allegedly free country has President Trump imposed censorship that protects Israel from accountability?
It would seem that this is a far more serious offense by Trump against the US Constitution than the allegations behind the impeachment inquiry.
Allegedly Trump represents the little people against the Establishment, but how are powerless people protected by overturning their First Amendment rights? They hardly have a voice as it is.
As Stephen Lendman reports, Israel being all powerful, is pushing also the British government to protect Israel from accountability to international law: https://stephenlendman.org/2019/12/uk-tories-intend-anti-bds-legislation/
Every single criminal and immoral act of Israel is backed by the full faith of the United States and it’s Bible believing god fearing citizens.
The spearhead of this demonic nation is the Christian Zionist Lobby, led by the fat demon pig John Hagee, who believes that his interpretation of the Bible says they must back Israel or go to hell.
Except for one or two congress persons, no one will condemn Israel for bulldozing Bendoin homes or using white phosphorus on children or shooting Gaza kids for fun.
Why? Because Amerika is a immoral Christian nation. YES IMMORAL! Fear of God or fear of death or fear on not getting to heaven is the root of evil making this immorality happen. If you don’t love Israel you have no future in the United States. Christians will look the other way no matter what Israel does.
And while all this is happening why the country is turning to devil worship, summoning demons, Satanism, abortion on demand, transgenderism. No one sees the connection that the evil in the Bible which infected the believers is now spreading through the rest of the culture.
The Bible is our program code of destruction NOT our salvation like the believers say.
Most will think my thesis that the Bible is the cause of our destruction is looney tunes. Most people on this site, no doubt, love the Bible and think it is our salvation. Most people think Jesus is coming back to save us and deal a deadly blow to the immoral forces on earth.
Evidence of my thesis: Church of Christ in Iowa flying Fag Flag, Mexican tears it down and gets convicted by jury of his Christian peers. So I ask all of you what the f**k is a Christian church flying a gay flag when the Bible condemns homosexuality in the harshest of terms? Why would a state full of Christians – a Bible belt tolerate this fudge packing insanity?
Iowa man who tore down, burned LGBTQ flag is imprisoned (ABC NEWS)
“NEVADA, Iowa — A man has been imprisoned for burning an LGBTQ flag that was flying at a church in central Iowa.
Adolfo Martinez, 30, of Ames, was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years for the hate crime of arson and given a year for reckless use of explosives or fire and 30 days for harassment. The sentences are to be served consecutively, Story County court records said.
A jury convicted Martinez in November. He’d been arrested in June.
He’s said he tore down the flag that had been hanging from the United Church of Christ in Ames and burned it because he opposes homosexuality.”
Now I want you to think and think hard, how can this happen in Amerika? Simple. The Bible has the Christians totally and slavishly cucked to the Jews and their liberal philosophies like faggism as an acceptable lifestyle. Well that’s not what God thinks according to the Bible.
Jews have turned love into a weapon with Christianity.
I would also point out NO MUSLIM JURISDICTION ANYWHERE WOULD TOLERATE GAY PRIDE OR CONVICT ANY MAN FOR REMOVING SODOMY PRIDE BANNERS.
Top Evangelical Magazine Calls For Trump’s Removal From Office
“The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, which was founded by Billy Graham, says none of Trump’s positives can balance his “grossly immoral character.” ”
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/december-web-only/trump-should-be-removed-from-office.html
If you read thru this condemnation of Trump no real issue of immoral importance is mentioned, not his loyalty to a foreign state, not his illegal bombing campaigns or drone strikes or that the fact that we are waging war based on lies and deceptions. There is no mention by this leading Christian magazine of why what the United States is doing to foreign nations is grossly immoral or illegal behavior.
Christianity Today (CT) does not mention Trump’s blatant attack on our First Amendment by giving Jews the right to censor us at colleges or in the media. Trump’s gross negligence concerning our freedom of speech especially one of moral conscience against the hell state of Israel’s actions is of no concern to CT.
This supports my thesis that the Holy Bible has not only made Christians gullible they are also grossly immoral, Christians have no problem with the war campaign in Syria for Israel. No mention of the massive damage caused in the Middle East by the United States government is of any concern to the editor of CT.
The lack of morality by a leading Christian publication is truly outstanding. Nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus tell you to bomb the downtrodden. So how can Christians defend Israel, or remain silent while Trump signs another antisemitism law?
So it is my opinion that the evidence suggest that a leading Christian magazine is jumping on the impeachment bandwagon because it is in the interest of Israel and thus is it is obvious that Christian leadership in America is just another front for Jewish interests.
If you can not condemn the crimes of Israel and Jews then you are in on the treason of the Jews. So is it obvious that the entire west is without a shred of decency or morals. America is the most God fearing nation yet is completely immoral – but it believes itself to be the most moral.
How can the most modern Christian nation be the most terroristic nation but internally views itself as godly and innocent? How can the Bible believers be completely without morals or decency if they believe the Bible to be the words of God? That is one of the greatest questions of our time.
The decisive answer to this riddle is this, the Bible has turned morals on it’s head. The answer is so obvious that no one can see it. We are immoral as a race of beings because our holy book is immoral. We have adopted immorality as our moral guide.
Everyone is making a grave mistake by assuming Bible morality is true morality. If the Bible is wrong then the entire Western world is wrong. You can reverse that logic, if the entire western world is wrong (like their aggression in the Middle East) then the Bible is wrong because the western world is built on that book.
