Tennessee passes anti-BDS law, acknowledging antisemitic agenda of Israel boycott

[MartyNYC]

Tennessee passes anti-BDS law: WHEREAS, the State of Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, is the greatest friend and ally of the United States in the Middle East.

WHEREAS, the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement is one of the main vehicles for spreading anti-Semitism and advocating the elimination of the Jewish State.

WHEREAS, leaders of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement say their goal is to eliminate Israel as the home of the Jewish people.

WHEREAS, signs and messaging at anti-Israel rallies in Tennessee have adopted the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions slogan, “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free,” meaning there would be no Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, that the State of Israel would cease to exist.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of the General Assembly consider the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement and its agenda inherently antithetical and deeply damaging to the causes of peace, justice, equality, democracy, and human rights for all peoples in the Middle East.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of the General Assembly reaffirm their support for the State of Israel, recognize that the Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel, condemn all attacks on the people of Israel, support Israel’s right to engage in lawful acts of self-defense, and oppose all attempts to deny the legitimacy of Israel as a sovereign state.

Rednecks and Jews. There must a joke in there somewhere.

Rednecks and Jews. There must a joke in there somewhere.

The joke is that while the left is so engaged in their systematic and inherent anti-Semitism, it took a bunch of hillbillies to lead the way.

Actually it's pretty funny if you think about it.

So much for the free market that the GOP hates.

I see, so now you claim to love you some Soros, how funny.

Did you miss the point of the OP? The bill they passed prohibits boycotts, divestments, and sanctions against Israel. It was passed in a red state, and by Republican legislators.

How much more "free market" can you get than that?

Soros is no friend to Israel. But I can understand, you probably think all Jews look alike, right?

If you hate one Jew you have to hate them all according to the rules of anti-Semitism. I don't make the rules.

Of course you didn't make the rules. But I don't live by your set of rules.

Most self professed Christians worship the anti-Christ fake Israel; What else can one expect from such deluded people?

My bad. Your posts usually have so little substance that I tend to gloss over them.

I'll try to read every word next time.

Jesus is called King of Israel in the NT, dummy.
