At event in Iowa, governor conflates Palestinian civilians with Hamas, the terrorist group that attacked Israel a week ago
Highlights:
“We cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees,” he said. “If you look how they behave … not all of them are Hamas but they are all antisemitic, none of them believe in Israel’s right to exist.”
Last week, the Florida governor described a pro-Palestine demonstration in Tampa and a “Victory to Palestine” event in Fort Lauderdale as “abhorrent”.
The New York Post reported on Saturday that House Republicans had introduced new legislation to prevent the United States from accepting any new Palestinian refugees who might be fleeing the crisis in Gaza.
Because not all Jews are Israelis. It’s that simple. I’m a Jew. I’m not an Israeli, I’m an American. I was born and raised in the U.S. I don’t speak Hebrew. I don’t vote in Israeli elections. I’ve never been to Israel and am not especially interested in visiting. I have no particular allegiance to or love for Israel.
The only foreign Jewish I can see having a reason to concern themselves with Israel are traditionalists and zionists who give a rats ass about which country “owns” Jerusalem.
Outside perspective so please correct if this is misguided.
