General Discussion / Re: I do not usually quote Malcolm X but...
« Last post by Rubystars on May 03, 2024, 11:03:07 PM »Problem is the vast majority of liberal JINOs are so brainwashed to vote Democrat that they would vote for a Hitler if he had a big letter D after his name!! They still think of FDR who was no friend of ours & turned back Jews wanting asylum from Hitler,YM"S to perish in Hitler's ovens The Democrats were no friends of us then & they are no friends of us now!!
It's interesting because in private messages with me when we talk politics he often seems to have a fairly socially conservative stance. He says he's pro-choice but hates abortion. It's kind of like those politicians like Joe Biden who say they're personally and religiously against it but they will still vote for a woman's "right" to "choose".
He said he is afraid that a lot of conservative people who claim to be pro-Israel are not being genuine about it. I reassured him that I and many other people are actually genuine about it and that it's our side who is on his side while many Democrats want him dead. He had to admit I was right but he still won't vote differently. I think he has the potential to wake up eventually. I might send him some Ben Shapiro or Dennis Prager videos later and see how that goes over but I don't want to overwhelm him and make him uncomfortable either because he thinks he's a leftist even though his basic values seem more right.
I think there's something about the culture that I as an outsider don't fully understand or know how to persuade about, if that is even possible. All I can do is to try to be a good friend and set a good example. Funnily enough he agrees with a lot of what I say or at least seems to, or says he agrees with me, but then he still seems so afraid of being conservative or Republican.
He and his girlfriend seem like really sweet people. I hope they will both be safe with all the turmoil that's been going on lately. They're lucky we live in a red state but we're also near a very blue city (Houston) with a large Muslim population.

I said wait went into my home got a few wires & some tools & hotwired his car & got it to start he asked where did such a nice old man (old compared to him he is 57 I am almost 66) I said one of my cushi neighbors in Brooklyn taught me how to do that when I lost my keys to my car. I said to him if I could do that & I am no car thief nor would I steal anybody's car some Arab could do the same thing & your car would end up in a chop shop in Um el Fachem!!
I think it's nice that there are people who have such a positive outlook of the world but sadly these are the same type of good hearted people who often get hurt by the bad guys. I'm glad you showed him what could happen.

General Discussion / Britain sanctions the Hilltop Youth
« Last post by Dan Ben Noah on May 03, 2024, 08:21:11 PM »I'm sure the Hilltop Youth are quite disappointed that they cannot visit Britain, where Muslims are allowed to attack and sexually assault anyone they want. Britain does nothing about their Muslim problem, but when Jews defend themselves from Muslims in Israel, the British have to apply sanctions. And I don't believe for a second that a settler sexually assaulted an Arab. As Chaim once said, Jews have better taste than that.

Britain sanctions Israeli groups for violence in West Bank
This is the second UK sanction package targeting individuals in the West Bank, with the first being announced by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in mid-February.
Britain on Friday announced new sanctions on "extremist Israeli groups" and several individuals who it said were behind violence in the West Bank, according to a statement from the British foreign ministry.
This is the second UK sanction package targeting individuals in the West Bank, with the first being announced by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in mid-February.
This most recent announcement was made by British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, with the sanctions specifically against two groups and four individuals "responsible for perpetrating human rights abuses" against Palestinian communities. The most recent sanctions include an asset freeze preventing the targeted Israeli groups and individuals from dealing with funds with UK citizens or businesses, and a travel ban to the United Kingdom.
The two groups are Hilltop Youth and Lehava, with the former being described by the ministry which "establishes illegal settler outposts across the West Bank with the stated mission of expelling all Palestinians from the Occupied Territories." The latter was accused of also "facilitating, inciting, and promoting violence against Arab and Palestinian communities."
Who are the sanctioned individuals?
The four individuals sanctioned are Noam Federman, former leader and spokesperson of the now defunct Kach party, who was accused of training settler groups to commit violence against Palestinians and avoid repercussions; Neria Ben Pazi, for building illegal outposts between 2015-2023; Eden Levi, who was documented taking parts in assaults of Palestinians, and has now been accused by the British foreign ministry of being involved in an incident where Palestinians were beaten and sexually assaulted five days after October 7; and Elisha Yered, an unofficial spokesperson for Hilltop Youth who has allegedly made statements inciting violence that include justifying Palestinian deaths for religious reasons and called for the expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank.
"Extremist settlers are undermining security and stability and threatening prospects for peace," Cameron said. "The Israeli authorities must clamp down on those responsible." Cameron also threatened that the UK would apply further sanctions should Israel not abide by his demands on the settlers.

General Discussion / MTG opposes Antisemitism Awareness Act because "Jews killed Jesus"
« Last post by Dan Ben Noah on May 02, 2024, 08:24:30 PM »Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined the Democrats in opposing an Antisemitism Awareness bill. Basically the bill would have defined Antisemitism so that the government can deal with issues involving Antisemitism, such as the problems we have on college campuses. The Democrats also oppose the bill because they want to be able to hate Jews and Israel under the cover of anti-Zionism. MTG opposes the bill because she feels it might challenge her brand of idolatry, the same way Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens more openly embraced Antisemitism on religious grounds after Israel was attacked by Muslims. Like all Democrats, these three Edomites were raised incorrectly and refuse to learn history, which results in them becoming useful idiots for the left. Since MTG believes the Jews handed over Jesus to the Romans, she is willing to hand Jews over to the Muslims on college campuses.

MTG opposes antisemitism bill due to rejecting ‘Gospel,’ that ‘the Jews’ handed Jesus to crucifiers
In recent years, the accusation that Jews sold out Jesus to his eventual crucifiers has reemerged as a cause to be championed among some far-right Christian sects.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who has been criticized in the past for her dalliances with antisemitic tropes and influencers, explained her vote against a bill defining antisemitism by saying that the bill it rejects the “gospel” that “the Jews” handed Jesus over to his crucifiers.
Greene’s opposition to the bill passed Wednesday in the US House of Representatives comes at a time when a number of conservatives are embracing ancient Christian anti-Jewish ideas. In one notable recent example, Candace Owens, a conservative influencer, broke ranks with Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew who runs a conservative media outlet, in part over Owens’ seeming embrace of Christian antisemitic tropes, including that Jews imbibe blood.
The bill would define antisemitism for the purposes of using it to address complaints to the federal government that the civil rights of Jews have been violated. It drew some of its strongest criticism from progressive quarters over concern that the legislation would inappropriately inhibit criticism of Israel, such as the campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
But Greene, posting on X, formerly Twitter, laid out a different concern: that the bill threatened Christian expression.
“Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” she said. “Read the bill text and contemporary examples of antisemitism like #9.”
In her tweet, Greene posts two photos: One focuses on the portion of the bill that adopts as part of its definition of antisemitism the 11 “contemporary examples of antisemitism” in the definition of antisemitism composed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
The second photo highlights the ninth example, “using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”
Her fellow far-right Republican, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, explained his no vote in similar terms on the same platform. “The Gospel itself would meet the definition of antisemitism under the terms of this bill!” Gaetz writes, and gores on to quote New Testament scripture that collectively blames Jews for Jesus’s killing.
Christian holocaust denial
In the years after the Holocaust, myriad Christian denominations played down or in some case repudiated the belief held for centuries that Jews were and remained collectively responsible for Jesus’s murder. The accusation of deicide was seen as one of the most potent drivers of antisemitic violence since time immemorial, and the Catholic Church in 1965 formally rejected the charge that Jews had killed Jesus.
In recent years, however, the accusation has reemerged as a cause to be championed among some far-right Christian sects. It informed Mel Gibson’s 2004 film, “The Passion of the Christ,” which stirred outrage among Jews.
In 2021, Pope Francis introduced restrictions on the Latin Mass, which calls for the conversion of Jews and accuses them of “blindness.” He cited the increasing popularity of the mass, feating it would undermine Vatican II.
Greene is not stranger to entanglements with Jewish organizations, earning criticism in the past for among other offenses, embracing a theory that the Rothschild family was using space lasers to start fires in California, and loosely invoking the Holocaust to describe perceived injustices against conservatives. She also spoke at a conference organized by Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier and antisemite.
In all, 21 Republicans and 70 Democrats voted against the antisemitism legislation on Wednesday. It was championed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, whom Greene says she will try to unseat next week.
