Pompeo’s visit to Israel 11-24-2020

 

24, November 2020               Pompeo’s visit to Israel

Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, was in a generous Christmas mood when he visited Israel. Gone are the good old days when America was a functioning democracy. Presidents and their team make important decisions and Congress invariably bows in total acquiesce. Ignoring the 128 resolutions of the UN Security Council, declaring the Occupied territories illegal, Pompeo is and his MIA boss are blurring the line between the state of Israel and the Palestinian territories it controls.

 In a further effort to shied  Israel from its apartheid policies, Pompeo has now  declared that the US would withhold funds from NGO’s who support  Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), a world-wide non-violent movement whose aim is to economically pressure Israel into providing equal rights and a right of return to Palestinians.

The BDS movement was modelled on the successful anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.

As a final gift to Israel, Pompeo asserted that the US will no longer regard the Occupied settlements as “illegal” and the Syrian Golan Heights as an integral part of Israel.  He also declared BDS anti-Semitic. The original sin was committed by a Zionist Lord Astor of “Great” Britain who gifted Palestine to the Jews as a land “without a people”  ignoring the fact Palestinians had lived in the land for hundreds of years.

The tragic history of Palestine is superbly documented by Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said professor of modern Arab studies at Columbia University, in his book “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine.

Such exciting times all documented in the Bible which was written many years AFTER the death of Christ. Jesus would be appalled at how his non-violent, compassionate teachings have been so badly manipulated by Jews and evangelicals. Maybe, Jesus will cancel his Second Coming after all.
