Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: The Jewish Stranglehold “This [Jewish] stranglehold has got to be broken or this country’s going down the drain.” — American Pastor Billy Graham in conversation with President Nixon (Feb. 1, 1972) In late August 2017, a category 4 tropical cyclone called Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas and Louisiana, killing over 100 Americans and inflicting $125 billion in damages. The heavy rains and high winds, which peaked at 130 mph, made Harvey the costliest natural disaster ever recorded in the Lone Star State, and matched 2005’s Hurricane Katrina as the costliest in our nation’s history. The extraordinary wreckage resulted in more than 42,000 displaced Texans seeking refuge in shelters across the state. A 2018 study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Episcopal Health Foundation found that at least fifteen percent of the hundreds of thousands of homes that were damaged remained uninhabitable one year later. Perhaps no place was hit harder by the storm than the city of Dickinson, located about 30 miles south of Houston in Galveston County. Over three- quarters of the city found itself underwater after only three days of catastrophic flooding, the result of an unprecedented 55 inches of rainfall. In an August 25, 2022 news report, Fox 26 Houston recalled the scenes of devastation and the heroic actions of the city’s residents amidst the chaos: When Hurricane Harvey’s torrential rains hammered down, no community was arguably hit harder and deeper than Dickinson. In a matter of hours, a full 85 percent of Dickinson’s homes and businesses were inundated with water. Calls for rescue soon followed. Hundreds of them. Police Chief Ron Morales remembers clearly the outcries. “People crying desperately for help. It was like someone had a gun to their head fixing to pull the trigger fear,” said Morales. And the calls kept coming. . . Short on rescue crafts and surrounded by rising water, with no way in or out, Morales put out the call for help. What happened next, is the stuff of legends. “They just came in boat after boat, after boat. To me, all the volunteers were the heroes. Everybody that volunteered and there was countless, countless people,” said Morales. It may be hard for Americans to believe but shortly after the historic disaster, Dickinson city officials informed their fellow townsmen that signing a loyalty pledge to Israel, a foreign country located over 7,000 miles away, was a prerequisite for receiving federal relief funds.
