Gay candidate stumps for sharia. The presidential candidate would do well to spend time as an openly gay man “Palestinian” strongholds.
The next POTUS from the Democrat Party (sometime after 2024) is almost guaranteed to preside over the most anti-Israel and antisemitic administration in American history. The next POTUS from the Democrat Party will also sever the U.S-Israel relationship as we know it. The next Democrat Party POTUS will also drive Israel to China, at the behest of the anti-American terrorists in the Palestinian Authority. Any Jew who supports the neo-Nazi Democrat Party is either crazy or stupid or perhaps both. A strong pro-Israel lobbying group is urgently needed. #Jexodus!
Buttigieg: US aid should be used as ‘leverage’ to change Israeli policies

Story continues below advertisement2020 Democratic hopeful says he wouldn’t let Washington ‘foot the bill’ if Jerusalem annexes West Bank settlements
TOI, October 22, 2019:
Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg said over the weekend that he would consider using American military aid to “leverage” Israel to change its policies toward the Palestinians.
Speaking at the University of Chicago on Friday, the South Bend mayor indicated that, as president, he would not allow the US to grant the same amount of aid to Israel were it to annex West Bank settlements, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do.
During a question-and-answer session at the South Side campus, a freshman and activist with the Jewish anti-occupation group IfNotNow asked if the candidate would make aid to Israel contingent upon ending the occupation.
“I think that the aid is leverage to guide Israel in the right direction,” Buttigieg said. “If, for example, there is follow-through on these threats of annexation, I’m committed to ensuring that the US is not footing the bill for that.”
He suggested that pressuring Israel to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution was in its long-term interest of remaining a Jewish democracy.
Over the weekend, both @ewarren and @PeteButtigieg gave statements indicating support for leveraging American military funding to Israel to challenge Israeli policies of occupation. This is encouraging.
Here's Buttigieg's answer to a question from an IfNotNow member on Friday: pic.twitter.com/0fRC5hwS22

“It is in the American interest, as well as the Palestinian and ultimately the Israeli Jewish interest, that Israel not reach the point where there will have to be a choice between either being a Jewish state or a democracy,” he said, “and there is a trajectory toward that going on right now.”
Buttigieg, 37, would not vow to reduce US aid to Israel if he were elected, but suggested it was a possibility.
“I’m not going to commit now to all of the ways that that leverage can and should be used, but I will say that our policy goal will be to do what we do when a friend is moving in a way that you’re worried about, which is to put your arm around them and guide them somewhere better,” he said.
Buttigieg’s comments appear to be the latest installment of IfNotNow’s efforts to confront 2020 candidates on their views regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The left-wing group has been deploying activists throughout the country to pose questions to the candidates while they are on camera or on the stump.
Buttigieg is the third major Democratic presidential candidate to indicate a willingness to cut military aid to Israel.
In a podcast interview in July, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said he would “absolutely” mull such cuts. Over the weekend, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said withholding aid to pressure Israel into curbing its West Bank settlement enterprise was “on the table.”
Warren, Sanders and Buttigieg are currently polling at second, third and fourth, respectively, in the Real Clear Politics average.

Deep down they KNOW what they are doing is wrong and unnatural. This is why they are hypersensitive and trying to FORCE acceptance on people. It’s a shame… people are SO EASILY CHARMED by LBGTQ+. Evil doesn’t present itself any other way – charming and making you FEEL compassionate about them for being “human” etc… LBGTQ+ ALL want to be accepted as normal and they don’t care how they go about achieving that.

In the closing months of the Clinton administration (that’s Bill Clinton) there were some talks between US and Israeli officials in which the US was pressing for more concessions from Israel in terms of “Palestinian” statehood (you know: a state that never was for a people who never were).
In response to an American’s comments comments, an Israeli noted Israel’s resistance to relinquishing control over the airspace over the west bank of the Jordan River (you know: the area where the ancient Jewish kingdom that ruled Judea and Samaria existed for centuries). He explained that Israel was afraid that “Palestinians” would launch missiles fromt he area to take down civilian airliners landing at Ben Gurion airport).
One of the Americans- an intellectual torch of the sort who so disdain the minds of people like Donald Trump and Pamela Geller- replied something to the effect that the Israeli had a vivid imagination.
The following September- in 2001- the scourage of islamophobia was unleashed in America, and Moslems lost their civil rights. /sarc

Elizabeth Warren is no friend of Israel or of Jews either.
In fact what DEM candidate is Jewish or Israel friendly? Aren’t they ALL anti-Semetic.

The problem is not with the Israeli’s; it is with those who call themselves the Palestinians. It boggles my mind that so many of our leaders refuse to accept and recognize that it is the Arabs who have been the problem facing a two state solution from the beginning. Now I am hearing the same nonsense from Buttigeig, who I had previously thought had a good head on his shoulders for a Democrat. The Arab mentality has been the same since the creation of Israel in 1948. They intend to destroy that nation and kill off its people. How, pray tell me, can Israel agree to a two state solution with people who intend such destruction? How, pray tell, do our leaders not see that reality? They are not moronic, I would hope. Yet, they express these inane comments, without accepting the consequences that would result. It is disheartening for me to believe that people who are running for our highest office cannot see or understand the realities existing in that area of the world. The socialist Democrats are continuing to fall down into the “rat hole,” and this is more reason to vote that entire party from office.

If Buttycakes want to sign his own political death warrant, that’s his prerogative. We should all encourage his self-destruction. It’s the gay way.

That’s all we need is a queer POTUS kissing his husband so the whole world would see. Imagine the Muslims seeing it, we would be attacked.
