PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT


When the UN Security Council REFUSED to consider the Israel Palestine issue their ONLY hope was that the US would agree to protect Israel by agreeing to send troops to the Middle East whenever an Israeli PM so demanded.

And yet American troops have never served in Israel or any of the nations it fought during any of the wars. You are delusional.

 

[my2¢]

I see where the program has also given money to Catholic high schools and also a Jewish community center. I don't know what the Pennsylvania constitution says about providing public money to religious organizations, but I believe in the separation of church and state.

And yet American troops have never served in Israel or any of the nations it fought during any of the wars. You are delusional.

I'm pretty sure that US Troops have been in Israel for quite some time operating the Iron Dome system and during joint military training exercises.

I also think that you've forgotten about the Iraq War which was ordered for Israel's benefit by AIPAC:

“QUIETLY LOBBYING CONGRESS TO APPROVE THE USE OF FORCE IN IRAQ WAS ONE OF AIPAC’S SUCCESSES OVER THE PAST YEAR.”
AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr; N.Y. Sun, Jan. 2003

Additionally:

- "U.S. Soldiers Sacrificial Lambs"
U.S. Soldiers Sacrificial Lambs – American Free Press

EXCERPT "During the recent bilateral military exercises, Air Force Lt. Gen. Richard Clark enthused that American soldiers are “prepared to die for the Jewish state” and also added that they would “probably” be under the command of Israeli Air Force Gen. Zvika Haimovitch, who would decide on the involvement of U.S. personnel. Haimovitch commented, “I am sure . . . we will find U.S. troops on the ground . . . to defend the state of Israel.” CONTINUED

AND:

- “What exactly are US special forces doing in Israel?”

What exactly are US special forces doing in Israel?

Secrecy is the name of the game when it comes to the Biden administration’s support for the offensive in Gaza.

responsiblestatecraft.org

"High stakes for U.S. interests in the region"

EXCERPT "Another likely reason for the secrecy around U.S. involvement is the fear that American support for Israel will hurt Washington’s standing in the Middle East, especially given the region’s widespread opposition to Israel’s offensive, which numerous Arab commentators have called a “genocide.”

If people in the Middle East come to believe that U.S. troops are directly involved in hostilities, it could have dire consequences for perceptions of American actions in the region. As a recently leaked cable from the U.S. embassy in Oman noted, Israel’s campaign is already “losing us Arab publics for a generation.” CONTINUED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's absolutely no doubt that the current Israeli government would do anything to dupe the US into a war with Iran and, ideally, the whole Islamic world.

American politicians cannot allow AIPAC, the ZOA etc to manipulate them into betraying the US again by sending more American G.I.s to die for Zionist regional hegemony.

Thanks,

That never happened
Real world

He ignored all the anti Semitism that was rampant in the D party after Oct 7. He didn't come out and say he was supporting Hamas, but his silence said a lot. He was afraid he wouldn't fit in with the rest of the wackjobs who were running the D party at that time. Now he's trying to get some of his Jewish cred back by braging how he will not be intimidated by an anti Semite arson. He's a good politician but he can't be trusted to do the right thing.

 

[Lisa558]

That does not excuse RC schools at all.

They cross the line.

No public funds for them.

And neither should there be public funds for ANY school that allows antisemitism to run amok under the guide of “anti-Israel.” In fact, worse - REFUSES to take action required to ramp it down.

This has happened because big Arab Money has gone to our liberal universities to influence our gullible youth. Did you know, for example, that CUNY - in a city of 20% Jews, and educated Jews - had as a goal to eliminate Jews from all 80 senior staff positions, and through attrition, they did?

 

[Lisa558]

And yet American troops have never served in Israel or any of the nations it fought during any of the wars. You are delusional.

The targeted condemnation for Israel, complete with lies like “genocide,” when there are so many countries deserving of condemnation but liberals remain silent, is driven by hostility toward Jews.

Oh, they will try to tell us “nothing to do with Jews, it’s just Israel we hate,” but why then….

• Are the anti-Israel protestors bullying and assaulting Jewish students?
• Why did we have a liberal title a thread “What the Jews are doing in Gaza”?
• Why do we have posters slip and say “Jews,” and then when I catch them, they say “oops, I meant Israelis”?
• Why in the liberal city of Boston did a pro-Palestinian group put out a map of Jewish-owned businesses to vandalize?

Nice try. Epic fail on your part. The same could be said of all religions.

I'm no legal expert, but it seems to me that this is a very clear violation of the separation of church and state.

I wonder what the ACLU would say about this.

According to this article from WHYY PBS NPR, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro is giving $5 million of taxpayers’ money to a Muslim organization that started out as a ” house of worship” and will teach “Quran classes” at its K-12 private school.

Shapiro announces $5M grant to Philly Muslim community center

A record $5 million redevelopment grant will help a private school that blends Islamic teachings with a standard curriculum.

By Carmen Russell-Sluchansky

March 26, 2025

Gov. Josh Shapiro joined an iftar dinner at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in North Philly to announce a historic grant from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, the largest ever awarded to a Muslim organization.

According to Asif Hussain, chairman of the board of Al-Aqsa Islamic Society, one goal for the funds will be to expand the center’s school by adding classrooms and teachers to better meet local demand, increasing attendance from the current 300 to up to 3,000.

“The idea is to have an academic center of excellence at school,” he said. “We have a school that’s K-12. It is very, very small and we have more candidates and more students than we have classrooms. So the idea would be to expand the facility and actually develop it into a full-fledged academic program.”

Al-Aqsa Academy, a private Islamic day and weekend school, was established in 1996. The coursework blends Islamic studies, the Arabic language and Quran classes with a standard K-12 curriculum, including math, science and social studies. The school’s website says its mission is to “provide students with a safe, nurturing, and uplifting Islamic environment that will help them achieve academic excellence.”

Founded in 1989 by a group of Palestinian immigrants, Al-Aqsa Islamic Society began as a modest house of worship in a rented storefront. Over the past three decades, it has grown into a multifaceted institution serving hundreds of families, drawing worshippers and community members from across the city’s Arab, South Asian, African and African American communities.

I don’t think NPR and PBS would be praising this $5 million government grant if the private religious K-12 school in question was either Christian or Jewish.

Quite the opposite, in fact. They’d be claiming that it’s an unconstitutional use of tax money.

But since the religion in question is Islam, NPR and PBS think it’s a wonderful thing.

BINGO

Philip D. Zelikow , Executive Director of the 09/11 Commission admitted that much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next war that America fights for Israel will be the last war America fights for Israel.

America's real greatest threat is its infestation of parasitic Israeli lobbies and its genocidal Zionist Quislings.

This Religion Must Be Banned. The Constitution Is Not a Suicide Pact.

It's a lot different from funding Christian schools, which don't teach that their students have a right to kill anyone who doesn't convert

I see your propagandists have greatly exaggerated how prevalent extremist Muslim are. Their hyperbole is matched only by their sociopathy.

It would be like judging all of Christianity based on the far right KKK Christian terrorists.

And let's not get into the history of the Christian religion, either. Their hands, faces, and bodies are soaked in blood.

, and the government that doesn't enforce their own religious laws on everybody must be overthrown.

We don't have religious laws, son. In fact, we have the opposite, thank God.

 

[g5000]

Not at all true. Catholic schools and Christian schools still teach core subjects. Islamic schools only teach the koran.

Wrong!

Which propaganda outlet is filling your head with these lies?

Fox News? Is it Fox News?

Or Newsmax?

Breitbart?
