The boycott of Israel has long been against US law. But as the left continues its chokehold of the media, culture and political landscape, we see the norming of the most vicious evils — Jew-hatred, jihad, etc.
A member of Congress who refuses to be identified publicly is sponsoring a forum this week that promotes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which has been criticized by Jewish organizations as an anti-Semitic effort.

The Democrat sponsoring these nazi-esque forums is violating US boycott laws. I would love to see the donor rolls of this Democrat. He is unquestionably on the payroll of America’s worst enemies. Why is he hiding? Evil.
America Fights The Boycott
In 1977, Congress prohibited U.S. companies from cooperating with the Arab boycott. When President Carter signed the law, he said the “issue goes to the very heart of free trade among nations” and that it was designed to “end the divisive effects on American life of foreign boycotts aimed at Jewish members of our society.”
The Arab League threatened to take a decisive stand against the new law, which was regarded as part of “a campaign of hysterical laws and bills . . . which Israel and world Zionism are trying not only to enforce on the U.S.; but also in some countries of Western Europe.”
How is this Congressman’s anti-semitic forums any different than the Arab boycott?
“Congressional Forum in Favor of Boycotting Israel May Violate Rules on Discrimination,” By Adam Kredo, September 14, 2016:
Member sponsoring event must attend under congressional rulesAn upcoming congressionally sponsored forum to promote boycotts of Israel may violate internal rules barring the use of federal offices for events that promulgate discrimination “based on race, creed, color, or national origin,” according to congressional documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Free Beacon disclosed on Monday that a member of Congress who refuses to be identified publicly is sponsoring a forum this week that promotes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which has been criticized by Jewish organizations as an anti-Semitic effort.
Efforts by senior congressional sources to determine the name of the lawmaker sponsoring the event have so far failed, but the Free Beacon has learned that the lawmaker is required to attend the event under congressional rules governing the use of official facilities.
Internal congressional documents governing the use of federal facilities also bar lawmakers from hosting any outside organization that practices discrimination.
Human rights groups and Jewish organizations have long accused the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, the organization leading the Friday event, of engaging in anti-Semitic rhetoric and supporting discrimination against the Jewish state.
Josh Ruebner, the campaign’s policy director, has faced additional criticism for calling a Jewish member of Congress an “Israel firster,” a slur that implies Jewish Americans hold dual loyalty to Israel.
Internal policies governing congressional events bar lawmakers from permitting entrance to groups that promote discrimination.
“These rooms shall NOT be used for… organizations practicing discrimination based on race, creed, color, or national origin,” the policy mandates.
Additional forms require that the member of Congress sponsoring the event “be present” at the event, according to a copy of these materials obtained by the Free Beacon.
“I certify that I am authorized by my employing Member/Office of the HOR to submit this request and that such Member/Officer is expected to be present at the event,” the form states.
The member or members of Congress backing the pro-boycott will have to make a public appearance at the event, or risk violating congressional rules, sources said.
“This briefing appears to be a blatant violation of House rules,” one senior congressional aide familiar with the matter told the Free Beacon. “There is no question that the BDS movement is inherently discriminatory against Jews. They should take their extremist, anti-Semitic agenda elsewhere.”
“I’m also curious to see whether the mystery member of Congress sponsoring this event will actually show up,” the source added. “If they do, we’ll know who is facilitating this hateful propaganda. If they don’t, this event will violate yet another rule.”
Another form states that congressional facilities should only be used for matters that serve lawmakers. This could complicate efforts by pro-BDS supporters to justify the event, as Congress has backed multiple laws to restrict the boycott movement.
“The use of meeting rooms under the jurisdiction of the Commission is restricted to Congressionally related uses or purposes which serve Members, Committees, Officers, of organizations of Congress. Conditions and procedures for use of the rooms may be promulgated by the Commission,” this form states.
Lawmakers and pro-Israel organizations have expressed outrage over the event and called for its cancellation following the Free Beacon‘s initial report.
“I am shocked and outraged at reports that an anti-Semitic group will be spreading its anti-Israel message at a sponsored event on Capitol Hill,” Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.) said in a statement. “The hallowed halls of our nation’s Capitol must encourage debate and discussion, but that doesn’t mean that rooms funded at taxpayer expense should provide a forum for radical groups to spread their propaganda in support of the anti-Israel ‘Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions’ movement. Further, it is disturbing that the member of Congress who supported and sponsored this event has not come forward. I condemn these anti-Semitic actions in the strongest terms.”
The Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizations on Tuesday called for the cancellation of the pro-BDS event.
Noah Pollak, executive director of the Emergency Committee for Israel, told the Free Beacon that efforts by BDS groups to mainstream support for their movement are failing.
“Why did Ruebner choose to hold a BDS event on the Hill, rather than somewhere else? Because he wants to show that the cause of destroying Israel is becoming acceptable,” Pollak said. “But he couldn’t find a single senator or member of Congress—that’s a total of 535 people—to attach a name to his hatefest. So Ruebner is actually accomplishing the opposite of his original goal. When you go zero-for-535, you’re not normalizing your cause—you’re showing how disliked and isolated it is.”
Ruebner did not respond to a Free Beacon request for comment on who in Congress is sponsoring the event.

Like before the WW2 Hitler started with the Jews but ends up with 60M dead in Europe. Today we hear the same old voices. Muslims start with Jews but their real cause to turn the world backward 1400 years. It is called Jihad and Sharia law.

Hitler learnt from a Muslim, the Muslim also stopped Jews escaping to Palestine and sent the first train load of children to the Gas Chambers.
He had dealings with the Muslim Brotherhood, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran til his death in the 70’s been the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem

The Antifa seems to be code for Intifada, they seem to be not Anti-Nazi but pro-Nazi Amin El-Husseini.
No to the & dual loyalty to tyrant, racist slaver Muhammad & his unethical system of Muhammadism. No to the oil-flatrate sponsoring of slaveholding Saudi Arabia, Isis, Boko Haram & so forth.
Yes to development of ethical systems (ethics: human rights & ecology).

This story does not even pass the smell test. How does a member of Congress, who was elected in a public campaign to the voting public, hold a controversial forum in public buildings and it all be a mystery to all concerned? Inquiring minds want to know.

If Israel was “the problem”, then Arabs/Muslims would be getting along with Bahais, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Zoroastrians and fellow Muslims.
But they ain’t.

Sharia law is homophobic and antiJews law. It is the strong opponent of marraige equaity and West civilization. In West the greatest thing are human rights women voting rights, gay marriage the best kind of freedom. But the worse are illegal drugs, and abortion which destroy our civilization and all things which are good.

Off Topic WARNING
Indonesia – Bali planning on banning Alcohol drinking
Indonesia planning on banning casual sex and gay sex.
To me anyone going to Indonesia for any reason is risking arrest, especially if one goes with boyfriend or girlfriend and stay together face arrest, and knowing Muslims could lead to severe punishment. You just do not want to be caught together even for short periods.
Gays just stupid to visit any Muslim area.

I am pro lgbt anti sharia. It is sad that some so called “christian states” punish homosexuality few years in prison. Islam countries are the most barbaric on the world in this issue. In my opinion death penalty should be for three most serious crimes: murder, drug crime and to ride a vehicle when the rider is drunk. I strong support gay marriage. People are made gay by God in my opinion (some people do not believe in God, but I believe) and this is completely natural. For drug trafficking or murder this should be punish of death. I’m not good in english but I try to write cleary. Sorry for mistakes because my native language is Polish.

You should find most western countries have decriminalised gay relations. If one lives in an area where there is a sentence for been Gay, be easier to move to an area where safe to live as one. God created man and woman, not Gays. Life takes many strange twists in life and it is there, but not to promote it openely.
I agree with you on some issues especially with death penalty for murder but you fail to mention servere violent crimes, such as mutilations, bashings or where rape has harmed the victim for life. Drug pushers yes, but have to dry out drug users. Drink driving yes only if the driver willfully kills, but for negligence in death or injury long prison sentence.
I have never been against gays, only until last few years in that that many support Islam, and Muslim refugees. Gays should remain silent as it has been for centuries. To push gay views relations on the young as well as others is wrong to confuse the child’s mind to what gender he or she is.
Good to see your against Sharia as you know the dangers. Many LGBT are misled and become a problem in supporting the wrong side. We have to work together to crush Islam, Nazism as it acts against freedom. Best to destroy the books of Quran and Mien Kampf and breed out the hate it dictates. Other such cults also need to be squashed when it dictates hate.

Your implication came across that gays were not ‘made’ by God.
Since ‘God’ is supposedly the Creator of Everything, I wanted to
know who created ‘gays’. Maybe it’s a silly question.
BUT, what about hermaphrodites? They ARE physically different
& can’t easily be classified as man or woman.
Have you ever thought WHY ‘God’ created so many vicious, evil things that cause so much suffering and death? Why carnivores, for instance- why are all animals not vegetarians?

Why is God to blame for so much evil and suffering
God gave us freedom to run our lives and it is Satan that creates evil and suffering. The World had a choice to follow Christ, but what did we do, Crucify the Son of God.

According to the 2010 Census, 83.5% of Bali’s population adhered to Balinese Hinduism, followed by 13.4% Muslim, Christianity at 2.5%, and Buddhism 0.5%.
No, Bali is not Islamic and alcohol is haram only in Islam, is it not? Besides,
Bali depends heavily on tourism and alcohol is a religious belief to Aussies!

If they are relevant I’d mention them. Maybe I assume [wrongly] that such events are general knowledge; Islamic genocide of Hindus in ancient India were the worst in history, so it is claimed.

You have yet to mention the genocide of 2.5 to 3 million Christians by muslum Turks and Kurds and you’ve now just glossed over the slaughter of 800,000 assorted kaffir by Indonesian muslums in the 1970’s.

I’d expect something like that from a f’ing, lying muslum pig.

January 18, 2017. History channel stopped playing “Hunting Hitler”.
Obvious Jewish manipulation again. They don’t want to know the truth, but they don’t want anybody else to know the truth either.
The Jews are manipulating History Channel (not to play “Hunting Hitler”), they manipulate the media, manipulate most governments and who knows what else.
TIME FOR AN INTERNATIONAL ANTISEMITIC ORGANIZATION
If we wait for an other Hitler it will be an other screw-up again.
