Dr. Mark Goldfeder: House should censure anti-Semitic Rep. Rashida Tlaib

According to this article I couldn’t help wonder if Goldfeder is concerned not one Jew in the House said boo about Tlaib’s remarks. Omar has said the same in the past.

Wonder what their reaction would have been had she said the same thing?

-------------------------

The House of Representatives should censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for her continuing embrace of anti-Semitism and her calls for the destruction of Israel, the world’s only Jewish state.

Congress should not be a forum for hate speech aimed at any religious, racial or ethnic group. While Tlaib’s target is the Jewish people today, it’s easy to imagine a different bigot in Congress targeting African Americans, Latinos, or another group with hateful comments in the future if Tlaib’s attacks on the Jewish people are not condemned on a bipartisan basis. 

Tlaib’s toxic anti-Semitism is dangerous. According to the FBI, the majority of religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States are committed against Jews. That number is on the rise, despite the fact that Jews make up less than 2% of America’s population.

SQUAD MEMBER RASHIDA TLAIB UNDER FIRE FROM ANTI-SEMITISM WATCHDOG

The first step needed is to call out anti-Semitism for what it is. It is high time for Congress to do just that in no uncertain terms.

In her latest expression of anti-Semitism, Tlaib retweeted a message Sunday that read: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” That phrase is a well-known Hamas jihadist call to annihilate the state of Israel and murder its Jewish inhabitants. It is an open request by Hamas and other terrorist groups for violence against innocent people and against one of America’s closest allies, Israel.

It is beyond repulsive that a sitting member of Congress could retweet this to her followers without facing immediate bipartisan censure. 

It should be obvious that calling for the destruction of the world’s lone Jewish state — along with the ethnic cleansing and genocidal extermination of its millions of Jewish inhabitants — is anti-Semitic. To imagine that the state of Israel would go away without the wholesale killing of Jews is ridiculous.

To be anti-Zionist, in the Hamas sense of wanting to destroy the Jewish state, is the same as calling for the mass slaughter of the Jews who live there.

Tlaib deleted her hate-filled tweet fairly quickly, but this is not the first time she has engaged in clearly anti-Semitic behavior and gotten away with it. She has accused American lawmakers supportive of Israel of dual loyalty, defended terrorist attacks against a civilian population and revised history surrounding the Holocaust.

And it has only been a few days since Tlaib expressed worry over President-elect Joe Biden’s pick of a Jewish American, Antony Blinken, as his nominee for secretary of state.

While Tlaib certainly has a First Amendment right to make anti-Semitic comments, there needs to be an objective baseline standard for what members of Congress will tolerate without condemning such hatred. 

To be anti-Zionist, in the Hamas sense of wanting to destroy the Jewish state, is the same as calling for the mass slaughter of the Jews who live there.

One starting point would be for Congress to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of anti-Semitism. The definition states that anti-Semitism is “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” The definition goes on to list several useful examples of anti-Semitism.

The IHRA definition is used by several agencies of the U.S. government, including the Department of Education. It is also used by 33 governments around the world that are members of IHRA.

The definition is also recommended for use by the European Council and the European Parliament. And it has been endorsed by the U.N. secretary-general and the secretary-general of the Organization of American States. It is also included in policy guides prepared by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and has been formally adopted by a growing number of European nations and American universities.

The IHRA has provided us with the consensus-driven gold standard of anti-Semitism definitions. The use of this definition has increased the awareness and understanding of the parameters of contemporary anti-Jewish discrimination. 

In addition to adopting the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism for members, the House and Senate should agree to condemn anyone who violates that standard. For the record, each of Tlaib’s above-mentioned actions alone would violate the definition.

The adoption of such a definition would not shut down criticisms of Israel or its leaders. Legitimate criticism of Israel is fine under the IHRA definition. Anyone who is merely criticizing Israel, even harshly and regularly, should have no problem signing onto the definition of anti-Semitism.

However, if someone actually demonizes and delegitimizes the Jewish state, or applies a double standard by requiring of it behaviors not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation, then that person should stop and think twice about the hatred being conveyed.

Tlaib excels at the promotion of a popular false dichotomy, which reasons that since not all anti-Zionism is necessarily anti-Semitism, none of it should be included in a definition of anti-Semitism. What this argument does is provide a convenient way for modern anti-Semites to remain in polite society while espousing incredible hate under the thinnest of anti-Zionistic veils.

Tlaib and her allies take offense at the notion that some expressions of anti-Zionism could be considered anti-Semitic, and insist on a definition of anti-Semitism that does not include even the most troubling of anti-Zionist sentiments. But anti-Semites should not get to decide the definition of anti-Semitism.

When is the anti-Zionism expressed by leaders like Tlaib anti-Semitic? In the first instance, it is anti-Semitic when proponents use classic anti-Semitic tropes including, but not limited to, false accusations of Jewish conspiracies; blood libels; accuse Jews of dual loyalty, and engage in Holocaust revisionism.

When this happens, the symbols and signals used often belie the speaker’s true nefarious intent. When they actually call for the extermination of the Jewish state, the line is even easier to see.

The truth is that Israel is the birthplace and homeland of the Jewish people going back thousands of years to biblical times, and is central to Judaism. False claims that the Jews have no right to their ancient homeland and hate-filled calls for destroying the Jewish state and its inhabitants can’t be called anything other than anti-Semitism.

When it comes to rape they do a better job than Weinstein

#MeToo movement spent less than 10% of donated money on sexual harassment survivors, most on salaries

(Took their cue from the Clinton Foundation)

BTW...Bill has some 'expertise' when it comes to rape too. 

Tax filings of Times Up organization shows it spent $1.4 million on salaries, and 157K on conferences at luxury resorts

The #MeToo movement rocked the world in 2017. It began with many celebrities calling out Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein for sexual harassment, and turned into a movement where people across the globe shared their horrors of molestation, and inappropriate behaviour. The organisation Times Up was set up to fight sexual harassment in the workplace. However, records show that the organization spent a bulk of its donations on executive salaries, and only a fraction on legal costs to help victims in its first year.

Tax filings show that the organization, which was founded by Hollywood celebrities and consists of Time's Up Foundation and Time's Up Now Inc., raised $3,670,219 in 2018 in its first year of operation. Less than 10% was spent on helping survivors of sexual harassment. Filings show $312,001 was spent on the legal defense fund while $1,407,032 was spent on salaries. More than $157,000 was spent on conferences at luxury resorts, and a further $58,395 was spent on travel. The organization had brought in the elite Hollywood stars during the early days of its operation with Reese Witherspoon, Amy Schumer and Brie Larson holding positions on its board. 

The tax filings detail the mission of Time's Up Now as being "to promote safe, fair and dignified work for women of all kinds. We work to make sure that women are free from harassment and other forms of discrimination on the job, have equal opportunity for economic security and can achieve the highest positions of power wherever they work."

Instead, excessive amounts were spent on salaries instead of legal support. Lisa Borders was recruited to head Time's Up, but remained at the organization for only four months, after her 36-year-old son was accused of sexual misconduct. Yet, the CEO managed to pull in $342,308 for her salary. The chief marketing officer, Rachel Terrace, drew a salary of $295,000 for her efforts during the organization's first year. Treasurer Rebecca Goldman drew a salary of $255,327. 

Tax filings mentions how "3,000 individuals" were helped by the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund between January and June 2018 at a cost of $1,747,635.

Sadly, most of the defense fund money emerged from grants that had been made to the Women's Law Center, according to the New York Post.

Only a small percentage came from the Time's Up organizations with the Time's Up Foundation donating $132,575 to the fund and Time's Up Now, handing over $179,426. $157,155 was spent on conferences, which were "designed to build community and spark critical conversations about gender equity."

The conferences included a stay at a luxury resort and spa in Ojai in June 2018, where a room costs 400 dollars a night. According to an attendee who spoke to the New York Post, the conference was unable to decide what the organization's mission was. It was changed from 'Let's Clean Up Hollywood' to 'Let's Help All Workers'. The tax filings also show that $288,007 was spent on advertising, and $940,328 on legal costs.

California church stabbing suspect had been deported three times, officials say

Lost count of how many times I posted a story similar to this over the last 13 years.

This is the fault of sanctuary cities. How much longer are the (sane) citizens of these cities going to take the 'we love our illegals' bullshit? How many more Americans have to die? The left values illegals more than the lives of its own citizens! Can't the average American see that? 

To bring this to a screeching halt pass legislation allowing surviving family members to sue the government officials who allow this to persist! 

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/us/kathryn-steinle-killed.html

Think about it? They would rather release a dangerous illegal criminal back into society than turn them over to ICE. This is nuts. 

The list of dead grows by the day. Shot, stabbed, or DWI. Totally senseless when they could have easily been turned over to ICE.

Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia has an extensive criminal history that includes domestic violence convictions and assault with a deadly weapon

Biden administration will ‘release, protect, and reward’ illegal immigrants: Acting CPB Commissioner

A homeless man accused of fatally stabbing two people inside a California church over the weekend was deported three times and never turned over to federal immigration officials before the attack, despite multiple arrests and convictions for violent crimes, authorities said Wednesday. 

On Sunday, Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia, 32, allegedly stabbed five people inside the Grace Baptist Church in San Jose. A man died at the scene and a woman later died at a hospital, San Jose Police Chief Edgardo Garcia said Wednesday during a news conference. 

The lack of cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents because of California's sanctuary policies was criticized by a high ranking federal agent who said the attack could have been avoided.

"Regrettably, politics continues to prevail over public safety, the detainers were ignored, and De Jesus Lopez-Garcia was released to the street," said David Jennings, San Francisco ICE Enforcement Removal Operations field office director. 

Lopez-Garcia is charged with two murder counts, three counts of attempted murder, battery on a spouse or cohabitant and violating a protective order. 

"On three prior occasions, Lopez had been deported and then ultimately returned to the United States," Garcia, the police chief, said. 

COPS BLAST CALIFORNIA SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES AFTER PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARRESTED FOR MURDER

Fernando De Jesus Lopez-Garcia, 32, was previously deported three times. Detainer requests lodged by immigration officials were ignored despite his extensive criminal history, officials said Wednesday. (San Jose Police Department) 

The church frequently provided shelter and meals to homeless people in the area, officials said. Lopez-Garcia had utilized its services in the past and sometimes worked with church staff to set up services, officials said. 

Four of the stabbing victims were homeless and another was a city employee and volunteer working at the church. The names of the victims will not be released, the police chief said. 

Lopez-Garcia's criminal history includes convictions for disturbing the peace, giving false information to police, resisting arrest and assault with a deadly weapon, which resulted in a two-year prison sentence. 

At the time of the stabbing, he had a pending misdemeanor domestic violence charge in Santa Clara County that stemmed from a June arrest. He was granted supervised release, which was revoked after failing to appear in court. 

The release was over the objection of the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office. At the time of his June arrest, Lopez-Garcia, a Mexican citizen, was on probation for a felony domestic violence conviction in a nearby county, officials said. 

An immigration detainer was sent to the Santa Clara County jail to hold Lopez-Garcia so Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could take him into custody upon his release. Notification to ICE would have been allowed under California's sanctuary policy, Garcia said, but the request was not honored and he was released.

The county's sanctuary policy bars local law enforcement agencies from contacting ICE about the pending release of inmates who had been living in the United States without legal permission. 

“Here we have catastrophic proof of the abject failure of California’s sanctuary policies. The only person this policy protected was a criminal; permitting him to reoffend over and over again," Jennings, the ICE field director, said. "Had those immigration detainers been honored, or had ICE been notified on any of the other multiple occasions he was arrested and released from local jails, we would have taken him into custody.

Mayor Sam Liccardo said "multiple system failures" allowed the Lopez-Garcia to continue to re-offend. 

"This defendant should not have been out on the street," he said. "In those very rare circumstances when an undocumented offender has a record of violent or serious prior convictions, the county should be acting in accordance with the (California) Values Act in notifying ICE that a person will be released out into the community."

Santa Clara's sanctuary policies came under heavy scrutiny last year after the March 2019 killing of Bambi Larson in San Jose. Authorities said Carlos Eduardo Arevalo Carranza, who has a long criminal history with numerous arrests and gang ties, stalked the 59-year-old before stabbing her to death. 

He was deported in 2013 and re-entered the U.S. illegally, authorities said. Multiple ICE detainers requesting notification of his release from county jails were ignored.

Judge Barrett makes her mark

Supreme Court Says “No” To Cuomo’ Restrictions on Religion

Take a wild guess which way Roberts went?

“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the Supreme Court concluded. 

Guess he couldn't see that.

BTW... he said this a while back. "There is no such thing as Obama judges or Trump judges."

Ginsburg 2016:

 This is what she said about Trump before the election and made no bones about it.

"I can't imagine what this place would be -- I can't imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president."

"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

Kinda shoots holes through Roberts' theory ya think?

You heard of RINO's right? Now we have CINO's like the one above (Roberts)... 

Catholic In Name Only

Guess you know what the ACLU take is.

--------------------------------------

The United States Supreme Court has temporarily ruled against Governor’s Cuomo’s restriction against attendance limits within religious houses of worship.

The 5-4 decision upholds the first amendment which gives Americans the right to worship as they choose. “The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty,” the majority decision wrote.

Newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett played a vital role in her first public vote as a justice supporting the majority opinion. Earlier this year, the court had voted to leave in place pandemic-related capacity restrictions affecting churches in California and Nevada. Justice Barrett’s predecessor, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was on that court, the justices divided 5-4

The two groups that sued against the restrictions was the Catholic church and Orthodox Jewish synagogues.

“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the Supreme Court concluded.
