Carrie Prejean Boller is now Disfavored. But there are parts of her story on the Religious Liberty Commission which have not been exposed--until now.
Carrie Prejean Boller, who was recently removed from a federal religious freedom advisory commission, says her ouster followed months of conflict over her public criticism of Israel and objections to defining anti-Zionism as antisemitism. In an interview with The American Conservative, she discussed the dispute, her role in a contentious commission hearing, and divisions on the right over Israel....
"...back in August, I got a call from the White House from a woman named Mary Sproul, and she asked me to resign from this commission.
I knew right away why she was asking me to do it. But I asked her, “Under what grounds are you asking me to resign? Because I’m not resigning. Unless I hear from the president, I’m not resigning.” And she said, “Well, I’ve been instructed to call you by Paula White, Dan Patrick, and a woman named Brittany Baldwin, who used to work for Ted Cruz.”...
Hmmmm. We also learn that Some Jews are More Equal Than Other Jews!:
"...if we were going to have a topic on antisemitism, then I would want to hear from Jewish Americans who are facing real antisemitism here in America. And many of these people that I recommended, these Jewish Americans, Rabbi Shapiro out of New York, Mikko Pallad—he’s based in DC—and then Norm Finkelstein, they’re all Jewish Americans, but they’re not the “right” Jews for this commission, because they aren’t Zionist Jews. And so they were all rejected. I even invited two Palestinian Christian groups to come and speak, giving their side of the story on this entire antisemitism hearing. It was very obvious that the only people that were hijacking this hearing were these Christian Zionists, like Paula White and Dan Patrick, who were refusing to hear from a rabbi. Who better than a Jewish rabbi in New York who has been fighting against Zionism for over 40 years to come and speak at this antisemitism hearing? They didn’t want to hear from him.
Why? Because you have to be a certain type of Jew in order to be invited to this. You can’t be an anti-Zionist and be a Jewish American and have your voice be heard....
The Catholic church does not accept Zionism, and never will. The Church does recognize the SECULAR state of Israel, but--as a matter of Catholic teaching--the Church herself is the new Israel.
Boller is right about that, and should remain on the Commission--and the Commission must let Norm Finkelstein and Rabbi Shapiro testify.
And Trump knows it, too.
