A Truth Inconvenient to Israel

Some of you watched last night's RNC yap-fest.

Some of you may have cheered the Israeli-pumping portion.  Bet you didn't know this:

...In the Adelson-sponsored Israel First section of the #RNC, I heard no mention of the inconvenient fact Omer Neutra volunteered to serve in Israel's apartheid army, and was in uniform as an occupation soldier enforcing the criminal siege on the Gaza ghetto when he was captured....

Oh.  Well, that makes a difference.  In the real world, that makes him a POW.

Then there was that apoplectic self-important little rabbi.  Max Blumenthal has the goods on him, too:

...CNN accurately referred to Kestenbaum as an "Antisemitism Activist," meaning he hypes up imaginary persecution to cultivate support and fame from the Zionist billionaires that dominate the GOP

The only more precise title for this fraud would have been "Genocidal Crisis Actor"

"While Harvard has long abandoned the United States, the Jewish People never will. Why? Because Jewish values are American values and American values are Jewish values. To the country I love: thank you"....

No, pal, American values are NOT "Jewish" values.  After the 10 Commandments (some of which are still kept by Jews here), Judaism--particularly the stiff-necked secular Judaism dominating American Jewry--has lent nothing to US values or traditions.  America is not now, and never will be, a theocracy, not even a very weak "theo"cracy.   

And that's before we get into "rabbinical courts" which replace US law in many places, something not unlike Shari'a practices.

Shall we look at Ben Shapiro, an icon of the Evangelical Protestant-Jewish axis?

 ...Shapiro does escape the charge of feeling dual loyalty to the U.S. and Israel because as Welsch showed, he makes no secret of the fact that his support for this country is contingent on its aid to Israel. A statement to this effect that Shapiro made at a 2022 CPAC conference drew applause from the celebrity-intoxicated attendees: “The existence of the State of Israel is the single greatest guarantor of my loyalty to the United States, frankly. Because Israel exists, that means the United States is going to be a more welcoming place for me.”...

That's an "American Value"?

 ...For years Shapiro has been holding forth on gay marriage, which he thinks should be allowed, because sooner or later the government will be persuaded to stay out of marital relations....

Oh.  It's an "American Value" to contradict Nature?

Let's be serious.

There is the problem of the "Amen Corner" in Congress and the possibility that Trump will pay far more attention to Israeli interests than American ones.

We'll see.
