Attorney General Barr: Fighting antisemitism a top Justice Dept. priority

12

Watch Attorney General William Barr discuss antisemitism and the boycott-Jews (BDS) movement. The pro-jihadic “Palestinian” Left has made life for pro-Israel Jewish Americans unsafe, particularly on college campuses. Urgent action is needed. No American should ever be afraid to express support for the Jewish state.

AG Barr: Fighting anti-Semitism a top Justice Dept. priority

By Nicholas Sakelaris, UPI.com, July 15, 2019:

Story continues below advertisement

U.S. Attorney General William Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray were among those to speak Monday at an anti-Semitism summit in Washington, D.C., to voice concern about the rise of hate crimes in the United States.

The event focused on harassment and discrimination toward members of the Jewish faith. Barr, Wray and experts talked about Arabic news clips that showed speakers praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and the Jewish Holocaust.

Barr said the rise in hate crimes stem from a combination of religious intolerance, economic envy, ideological dogma, conspiracy theories and scapegoating that fuels anti-Semitism. Fighting the trend, he said, is a priority for the Justice Department.

“I’m deeply concerned,” he said, noting that daily persecutions, exclusion and intolerance often go unnoticed.

Appreciate the fact that AG Barr is doing a right thing in his condemnation of those who stand against God’s ancient people, their right to exist, BDS and other politically charged movements to discredit Israel, and to ensure that American policy toward Israel is clear, in that Jews have access to their ancient homeland.

When is the American Jewish community, which typically votes >75% Democratic, going to wake up to the danger they will face with an ongoing alliance with iniquity – with this sinister so-called political party?

Or are they enjoying being part of it so much that they don’t give a tinker’s hoot about BDS and Israel OR their future?.

Better if instead of MSM, Jews would seek information and truth from Middle East Radio Forum in Phoenix. Go to http://www.middleeastradioforum.org. Host: Wm. Wolf, Jewish attorney in Phoenix. Live broadcasts and archived podcasts available.

I am concerned about 65% (or greater) for another reason. It is too close to Zechariah’s prophetic detail offered in 13:8 regarding the coming judgment of the time of Jacob’s trouble. Jeremiah 30:7-11.

There is very little antisemitism in the USA except from new Democrats. Americans have overwhelmingly gotten along with the Jewish population and the majority of Americans are far more pro-Israel than pro- Arab. I am concerned that what is really going on here is a too strong stance in the Trump admin. that is hostile toward any criticism of anything done by Israel. That is much a suppression of free speech as what is being done to the alternative media by the MSM. This is America; not Israel.

Janey, are you calling me a Nazi because I love the First Amendment and also think the truth matters? They say you know you are over the target when you get a lot of flack. Here is one of the URL’s about the recent deal Israel made with China for the Port of Haifa: It does do damage to US access to that port, and there are other Israeli/Chinese deals that have been made recently despite all Trump has done for Israel. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/16/israel-china-haifa-port-deal-triggers-us-navy-push/

Very recently we had the sad anniversary of the 1967 torpedo attack on the Navy Research Ship the USS Liberty. The sailors could see the eyeballs of those who then strafed them with, I think, 50 caliber bullets in an effort to leave no survivors. It was not mistaken identity. It was intentional. Those sailors, and the ones that still remain, never got justice or honorable mention because it was our ally, Israel.
When I hear from people like you that I am a Nazi for telling the truth I become more able to accept the fact that Israel was very much complicit in 9/11. That said, I was grieved when Gaza was taken from Israel. I am grieved when Israelis are stabbed. I have never honored Jew hating Jews and disdain that BDS garbage. It took me awhile to come out of my brainwashing about Israel because I was an evangelical who self labeled assumed I was a Christian Zionist. That is idolatry. I am a Bible believing Christian. I want Israel blessed with the knowledge that Jesus really is your Savior. He is the only way given for you to be saved. That is good news. He provided the better Covenant and I look forward to the New Jerusalem. You may want to research what the Talmud has to say about Jesus and His followers. Then tell me who is a Nazi.

Why would you need to hate me? I certainly do not hate you. I have never hated Israel. It appears to me that your problem is that I can both genuinely love Israel and still be honest when that state does wickedly. Israel is the most sin loving nation in the world. I also want the people to know how wonderful is Jesus. He was supernaturally birthed into a young Jewish woman from the line of David, as was prophesied long before. I want Jews saved just as I do everyone else. I want the veil removed from their spiritual eyes, and their eternity to be blessed. For that I should be hated? Or is the problem that I do not make an idol out of the state of Israel? Idolatry always births spiritual blindness and sin. It can’t do otherwise.

I am a person; not a statistic. Only because of Jesus was I able to not hate Obama. That was a big test. I have never hated Israel and never been a J hater. I do think those people are demented. I think you are some kind of snowflake type that cannot handle the truth that Israel is far from some perfect state. You don’t pretend to be a Christian; thank God. It appears that you believe I need to lay down the glorious truth of Christ to worship your very sinful secular state. I don’t give up Christ and his insistence on honesty for anyone. And I think those Christians who have gone overboard into idolatry of the Jewish nation do those inhabitants a great disservice. It also makes them look foolish. Nonsense to worship people, and if you are over 12 years old you should know that.

I have been a great admirer of Pamela Geller since I first got the internet. I love her blog. Among other things she is a great defender of the Persecuted Church. But if this is intended to be an Israel worshiping blog only I am willing to unsubscribe so that I don’t interfere with anyone’s choice to be blind to truth.

Glad to hear from you. It is not my desire to offend. I can agree with you that with all the real hatred directed towards your small group that it would not be unnatural to become defensive. I understand that experientially from a different kind of persecution.

I hope and pray that someday your eyes are opened to the fact that there really is only one way given by the person of the Godhead (father-soul, son-the body, and Holy Spirit- God’s spirit) to receive forgiveness of sin and eternal salvation. Jesus obeyed the Father all the way to the Cross. All authority and judgment is given to Him. The New Testament reveals what was concealed within the Old Testament. Jesus was always there, even from the beginning. This is the blessing and grace we need to hope for for the Jewish people. God bless you.

I remember antisemitism all the way back in high school, some of it directed at my friends. There’s no doubt it’s gotten worse, especially at unis and colleges, and you can thank the f’ing muslums for that.

Start with these rabid idiots US AG Barr…

At least 2 of these dangerous fools have expressed their hatred of Jews, per their anti-semetic rants..

..Pay close attention to Ayanna Pressley’s comment about ‘brown and black people’ and their voices, she does not want to hear.. And, we are the ‘racists’?

This was very painful to watch..

Omar demonstrates her profound ignorance (seriously), and her foul mouth betrays her underlying hatred for America and Americans… She is POLITICAL TRASH, as are they all.
