It’s bad enough that a math teacher in Kansas lost her “math teaching” teaching job to help teachers teach math because she is boycotting Israel in protest against their oppression of Palestinians. And, according to Haaretz–which just happens to be a leading Israeli news organ, many other states are pulling the same nonsense: “…Kansas’s law, and others like it, violates the Constitution. …” says said Israeli news organ in the link above.
And now we come to Christian Zionist Central, the state of Texas, where, in May–how much did CUFI head John “I put Israel ahead of Jesus Christ” Hagee pay you to come up with this legislation which violates the First Amendment…but, oh, what the heck, who needs the First Amendment when the opinions of Talmudic Jews are at stake? Or your campaign contributions, maybe? Oh, but I forgot, Abbott–is Costello far behind?–you’re a Christian Zionist too aren’t you? So screw the First Amendment, right? Gotta “bless” Israel!
Here is what this “passed-in-May” legislation says (do I really have to mention the bill number? Every Texans who doesn’t kiss Israel’s ass knows about it!) that businesses and individuals who, due to natural disaster (Hurricane Harvey anyone?), needs funding to fix a home or whatever, must sign a loyalty oath to Israel. Not the United States, mind you–heck said hurricane victim can say “f*** the United States!” for all Abbott cares! No, a US citizen has to be loyal to Israel. Tell you what, Greg–why don’t you get yourself and your wheelchair over to Tel Aviv and join the IDF while you’re at it and kill a Palestinian to ease your psycho conscience. Have fun, kiddo….Israel will love you for it. But will God?
Now considering I have to use “West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil” every now and then for gasoline for my car and my ATV boycotting Texas-made goods will be hard…but then again, is all gasoline made in Texas?
Now of course any idiot trying to “enforce” this crapola will have a hard time enforcing it. Let’s say you are in a grocery store and you need humus. There are two brands on the shelf, and a spy camera is located nearby. One brand is Israeli Sabra and there is another brand made in the USA (or Lebanon or Egypt or somewhere else). A store clerk is nearby as well, and you pick up the “other brand” and out it in your cart. So the employee comes up to you and says “Since you didn’t buy Sabra, are you boycotting Israel?” So your reply should be, “No, I just like the other brand better.”
Folks, NO ONE can force you to NOT boycott Israeli-made products. No one. Abbott, of course, knows this but he’s too scared to rebuff this “Israel-controls-the-US” truth, because ISRAEL DOES CONTROL THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. “And the Americans know it.” So said Ariel Sharon…or was it Benny the Yahoo? Because ISRAEL DOES CONTROL THE US. Okay?
But I don’t think I’m ready yet to boycott Israeli-made…ooops…US-made goods yet.
