The Anglophone Israel Lobby benefits from its ability to mold the media narrative while at the same time using financial incentives to corrupt the political class. For those who do not succumb to the corruption, there is always the option of direct pressure, which in the United States and Britain consists of targeted interference in the political system to remove critics either through promotion of scandal or by supporting well-funded alternative candidates in the following election. In the United States, this has led to the removal of a number of congressmen who had dared to criticize the Jewish state, terrifying the remainder into silence. All of this goes on with little or no debate in the media or in congress itself. There are signs, however, that the general tolerance of Israeli misbehavior might be ending. The election of at least three Democratic Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who might be willing to discuss Israel in something less than worshipful ways is a miniscule shift in the alignment of the Democratic party, where Jewish money dominates, but it reflects the views of the party’s grass roots where a recent poll demonstrates that surveyed Democrats favor Israel over Palestine by a margin of only 2%, twenty-seven per cent versus twenty-five per cent with the remainder of responders favoring neither side. Much more significant is last week's announcement by Senator Rand Paul that he intends to place a “hold” on the current package of $38 billion in military aid to Israel, which means he can filibuster the issue in the Senate to delay its passage. Paul, who, like his father, is a skeptic regarding foreign aid in general, did not cite any specific issues connected to the aid package, but critics have long noted that Israel is in fact ineligible for any foreign aid from the United States because it has an undeclared nuclear arsenal consisting of at least 200 weapons. For that reason, providing aid to Israel is illegal under the Symington Amendment of 1961 as well as due to the fact that Tel Aviv has rejected signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT. Paul’s action is extremely courageous as he is the first Senator since William Fulbright to dare to say anything negative about the Jewish state. Fulbright was, of course, punished by the Israel Lobby, which committed major resources to defeating him when he next came up for reelection. Another U.S. Senator Charles Percy was so bold as to maintain that Palestinian Arabs might actually have "rights" also found himself confronted by an extremely well-funded opponent who defeated him for reelection, so Paul’s action is far from risk free. In fact, the Israel Lobby is already reacting hysterically to the “hold,” as is the Israeli government, and one can be sure that all their massive resources will be used to punish the senator. Another area where one might have expected more pushback from Americans is the lack of any serious resistance from Christian groups to the process whereby the conservative Likud dominated Netanyahu government is seeking to turn Israel into a purely Jewish state. That too is changing due to Israeli behavior. Even though Israel boasts that it provides a safe haven for Christians to practice their religion, reports occasionally surface suggesting something quite different. Jewish Zealots spit on Christian clergy and curse them out in the streets without any fear of repercussions. Some clergy have been harassed and even assaulted by Jewish extremists. Churches and religious foundations are frequently vandalized or defaced with obscene graffiti and the Israeli government has also confiscated or destroyed church property. America’s Presbyterian Church has led the charge in criticizing Israeli brutality. At its June General Assembly it passed a resolution condemning Israeli apartheid. Its Office of Public Witness has been in the forefront in calling on Israel to cease and desist. An Action Alert issued this summer entitled “Tell Congress: 70 years of suffering is enough! Stop the killing, hold Israel accountable, and support human rights for all” denounced the slaughter of unarmed Palestinian demonstrators in Gaza by the Israeli Army.” Now it is the turn of the Quakers in Britain, who have banned any investment by the church in companies that exploit the “military occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israeli government.”, prompting a furious response from Jewish leaders. It is the first British Church to do so and leaders of the group have compared their action to taking steps against apartheid and the slave trade. It is certainly a turnabout to see anyone taking on Israel and its all too often invincible lobby. What is significant is that Christian churches and even some congressmen have begun to speak out in spite of the knowledge that immense Jewish power in the United States and Britain will make them pay a price for doing so. May the realization that Israel’s interference in friendly countries damages their democracy finally reach a point where some people in Congress, the media and even in the White House will begin to listen.

There have been several people considered to be Jews that have spoken out against the notion of there being a State of Israel. The facts would declare it a fraud upon the entire world concocted by Zionists and initiated at the first Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland in 1897. Now that would indicate an agenda to establish a Zionist State long before WW II and the alleged holocaust. Even then, what part did Palestine play in the holocaust, assuming it happened as we've been told ? History tells us that Lord Rothschild and Lord Balfour of Great Britain agreed by letter (later called a Proclamation) that the Jews should have a homeland in Palestine, but what ever gave them the right to make such a determination ? At the time this was discussed it was also stated that this should be a peaceful situation that wouldn't disturb those residing already in Palestine. (People that can demonstrate 1100 years of residence prior to the Balfour letter. The UN legitimizes this fraud following the directives of the U.S. and Great Britain. The people attempting to swallow up the land of Palestine can only claim to be two of the tribes that claim God gave them the land, when the original grant was allegedly given to 12 tribes and 10 of them went missing. So isn't it more just that they be given the land that they were originally allotted if we're going to start gifting land to people that claim God gave it to them. Lastly, the people occupying Palestine today as "so-called Jews" are primarily Ashkenazi converts to Judaism (90%) in 750 AD (formerly Khazars of Eastern Europe) and have no direct ancestral link to the Israelites / Hebrews that were allegedly "Promised" the land. How long will the world tolerate the globalist perpetration of total bullshit ?
Palestine was a part of the old British Mandate. That is the key to understanding the whole picture. Remember the Jewish terrorist group Irgun bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killing many British since they were using the place as Headquarters. ;)
Many will auto-protect these mischievous shit birds that let their shit bird droppings loose upon an unsuspecting collection of morons that heavily populate the Christian west !
