Most of America’s Jewish organizations proudly condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over a big nothing burger. So what can we expect them to do to about the appointment of Rep. Betty McCollum, as the chair of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee? Absolutely nothing. Most of America’s Jewish organizations are afraid to confront the Left, which is why anti-Semitism in the United States Congress is being normalized. It’s horrible.

Promoter of ‘Israeli Apartheid’ Attacks, Betty McCollum is New Chair of Defense Appropriations
By Jewish Press, February 23, 2021
This Wednesday, the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee will hold a hearing on future defense spending, with Betty McCollum (D-Minn.), the new chairwoman, at the helm. The subcommittee will hear testimony from Todd Harrison, Director of Defense Budget Analysis at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Dr. Thomas G. Mahnken, President, and CEO of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
The above reads like a routine announcement from some Congressional body that does its routine work, day in and day out. But this is not routine news at all because of the name at the top of the story, Betty McCollum, the new chairwoman. McCollum is a staunch enemy of the state of Israel.
The House Subcommittee on Defense is part of the House Committee on Appropriations, which, together with its Senate counterpart, has jurisdiction on all appropriations bills in Congress. Article One of the Constitution, section 9, clause 7, states that “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law,” which determines that Congress has the power to make budget appropriations, and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee holds the purse on all defense spending. So that should this committee be chaired by an enemy of a certain Jewish state in the Middle East, it would be a bad thing.
Here is something she told the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) when they gave her a nice award on Oct 13, 2018 (Israel Practices ‘Apartheid’ – Rep. Betty Mccollum). First, there was this lovely anecdote:
A few weeks ago in the coffee shop of this hotel, I met with an amazing woman who was struggling for freedom for justice and her country’s democratic future. Her name is Aida [Touma] Sliman and she is a citizen of Israel, and she is also a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset. She’s fighting Israel’s recently passed nation-state law, which codifies separate and unequal. It is a standard of racism that the United States rejected and outlawed more than 50 years ago.
Aida’s written and told me, rather than working on equality for the benefit of all citizens irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity or national affiliation, Israel will now promote the development of exclusive Jewish communities. Friends, the world has a name of that form of government that’s codified in the nation-state law, and it’s called apartheid.
Then the Congresswoman delivered this devastating news to anyone in the US who’s still trying to refute the poison-dripping assaults on the Jewish State:
Last November I introduced a bill in Congress, and it’s called ‘Promoting Human Rights by Ending Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Children,’ shorthand, HR 4391.
It’s not a complicated bill. It says that U.S. aid to Israel shall be prohibited from being used to arrest, detain, abuse, torture or otherwise violate humanitarian law and the human rights of Palestinian children. Now we know thousands of thousands of Palestinian youth have been victimized by the Israeli system of juvenile military detention over the years. We know that because of UNICEF, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Israel’s B’Tselem, DCI Palestinian, and the U.S. State Department have all documented Israel’s brutal treatment of Palestinian children.
… This bill is a statement of unity never seen before in Congress, it unites us in our common belief in human rights. It is a statement of our shared values of freedom, equality, and justice for the Palestinian people…
…Now my goal with HR 4391 is to offer, as I said, an alternative perspective, to force policymakers to think about the 3.8 billion dollars in U.S. aid to Israel and how that helps to enable, facilitate and enforce the military occupation of Palestinian lands and the repression of the Palestinian people…
Mccollum’s position on Israel has naturally made her a target of criticism by pro-Israel groups in the US, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in February 2020 paid for a Facebook ad that attacked the radicals in the Democratic, namely Party Reps. Mccollum, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, saying, “It’s critical that we protect our Israeli allies especially as they face threats from Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS and – maybe more sinister – right here in the U.S. Congress.”
The AIPAC ad linked to a petition that said those three congresswomen were a bigger threat to Israel than Iran. You may or may not agree with the sentiment, but here’s what Congresswoman Mccollum wrote in response on February 12, 2020:
The decision by AIPAC to use my image in paid Facebook ads weaponizing anti-Semitism to incite followers by attacking me, my colleagues and my work promoting human rights for Palestinian children detained in Israeli military prisons is hate speech. …
This is not a call to action, it is incitement.
Elected representatives in Congress “more sinister” than ISIS? Last year, I met with AIPAC representatives from Minnesota in my office. Do forces “more sinister” than ISIS sit down and meet with AIPAC’s advocates?
AIPAC wants its followers to believe that my bill, H.R. 2407, to protect Palestinian children from being interrogated, abused, and even tortured in Israeli military prisons is a threat more sinister than ISIS. This is not empty political rhetoric. It is hate speech.
AIPAC’s language is intended to demonize, not elevate a policy debate. Vile attacks such as this may be commonplace in the Trump era, but they should never be normalized. Hate speech is intentionally destructive and dehumanizing, which is why it is used as a weapon by groups with a stake in profiting from oppression.
Here’s why AIPAC was so terrified of the Congresswoman from Minnesota, it felt obligated to go on the attack. These are excerpts from Mccollum’s brainchild, H.R.2407 — 116th Congress (2019-2020) includes the following despicable lies:

Rep. Betty McCollum is certainly anti-Israel but I wouldn’t go so far as calling her anti-Semitic. I think the word anti-Semitic runs the risk of being trivialized if it’s just thrown about calling anybody who disagrees with Israel’s policies anti-Semitic. Israel is a nation; it is looking out for Israel making sure that it is a safe place and a prosperous place for its citizens. Israelis often differ with each other over various policies. That doesn’t make them anti-Semitic.

McCollum is an idol worshipping (church of rome) Jew Hater.
Now, little one, you don’t have to worry about the overuse of “anti-Semitic”.
Call that idol worshipper what she is.

This administration is far worse than I even figured possible. There have been a number of people I know that voted for the senile buffoon that now regret it.
Gas went up again. I predict $3 in 3 months and $5 within 1 1/2 years. Everything done so far will make it harder for working people to survive.

$2.69 (plus) in this area. That’s from a $1.49 low. Strike the 1.49, as that may have been a Covid-19 anomaly. Average, prior to Covid-19, was in the $1.79-$1.89 range.
So, just use the $1.79. Prices at the pump have already jumped ninety cents.

Yes, and the fake news/MSM is doing everything possible to defend “Stinkfinger Joe” and his disastrous energy policies. I saw an article on Yahoo saying the rising gas prices were just a result of the economy doing so well. They are despicable. People freezing to death in Texas, rising energy prices, unemployment, all in the name of fighting an imaginary enemy (GW or climate change or whatever else they label it) with money they don’t have. The GW scam is the biggest fraud in history.

I can’t think of another time in which Jews worked to destroy, with great prejudice, a friendly government and empowered an anti-Semitic one.
The Jews in America, in overwhelming numbers opposed Donald Trump and supported these Democrats.
They succeeded in removing Trump, and got what they wanted – the return of the Democrats to the White House.
Now, Biden and the Democrats are selling out Israel – to no one’s surprise, and objections on behalf of their intended Jewish victims sound hollow.
How could it be otherwise?

The Pedojoe Administration is not simply “selling out Israel”. Rather, they’re setting the stage for death camps.

Anti-Semitic is the disgusting standard tactic promoted by Israel to be always used against any decent person like Betty McCollum who object to Israeli apartheid, illegal occupation and brutal treatment of Palestinian children who are locked up without trial and often sexually abused

It’s incredible how these corrupt, muslum loving aholes endlessly bleat about Israeli apartheid while ignoring the fact that most all of the Mid-East and N. Africa are deliberately judenrein (as is Gaza).

this administration is a bag of bad smells. putrid stuff. Israel should cut ties immediately with the US. a complete disconnect. the Jewish nation state has always gone it alone and been victorious. getting permission slips from American Presidents’ has hindered its ability to protect and defend its interests and its citizens. Ironically, the US gets a lot more from Israel than the other way around. apart from American President Donald Trump a true friend of real freedoms in America and his respect for the vibrant democracy of Israel, the path has always been clotted with betrayals.
