Freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich) claimed the “racist policies” of the state of Israel were similar to segregation in the United States during the 19th century.

During an interview that was published on Saturday in Jacobin, a democratic socialist quarterly magazine that offers liberal perspectives on politics, Tlaib claimed, “There is continued dehumanization and racist policies by the State of Israel that violate international human rights, but also violate my core values of who I am as an American.”

Tlaib went on to say “separate but equal” doesn’t work for her and that people need to acknowledge that her ancestors were killed and were uprooted from their land. She then added that she wants there to be a recognition of what happened, including a “healing process.”

“Just like we looked at the struggle for black Americans for true equality and access to opportunity to thrive. The same thing that has happened to the LGBTQ community,” Tlaib said. “All of that is why I say free Palestine, that Palestinians deserve human rights.” . . .

“. . .  Israel is proceeding in a way that is a direct violation of Palestinians’ core right to human dignity.
The defenders of the status quo are right to be worried.”

Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, has publicly voiced her support of the BDS Movement. Activists in the movement believe Israel is an apartheid state that oppresses the Palestinian people, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Propaganda will always be much Truth mixed with a bit of falsehood. First the falsification is small but grows quickly to full-scale onslaught against the Truth. Only the ones bathed in the Word can withstand the stench of rotten lies.

Lord, please show us Your way to speak to those who choose to believe lies, instead of educating themselves on all points. Your Truth is an inexorable draw for us, Your children. We long for Your Shalom. May freedom reign here in this land. Please give us the words to say in Your Spirit. Thanks be to God! Amen.

Father, please expose her true motives for all to see and do not let her be elected to office again nor those who agree with her evil will against our God and our nation. Also, I pray for her soul, may she be flooded with believers around her who speak truth to her wherever she goes so she may see the error in her beliefs and save her from the wrath of the Lord in the day of judgment.

I pray for her eyes to be opened to the truth. She uses the term ‘racism’ without seeing her own actions as racist.

How unfortunate we have others who are willing to use the willing for notoriety to come against the American way of life.
The LORD reminds us however in Isaiah, “we to those who call truth a lie and the lie a truth.”

Abba Father, I come before you in awe and reverence for who you are and how much you love us all despite of ourselves and our sins.

Father God, I ask that you forgive our leaders and all those in power who mean harm against your creation. I plead the blood of Jesus over any open doors that Satan is using in them to do harm and that they are unaware of in their lives. I ask that you bless them with truth and light and that they will come to you and that you will reveal yourself to them, reveal the plans you have in their life, our country and the world, and that they would know this and be a part of it instead of trying to destroy Israel, the United States and the world.

If they will not repent and turn from their wicked ways and ask for forgiveness, Father God, I ask that you remove them from their position of power so that they cannot harm anyone else, and that they will be bound from destroying your will for Israel, America and in the entire world.

In Jesus’ mighty and powerful name I bind what she/they are attempting to do and I ask that you send legions and legions of angels to protect us, our faithful leaders who love you and want to do your will for the world.

Please forgive us, God, for all of our shortcomings. Let your will be down on earth as it is in Heaven. We love you and honor you and thank you for all you have done for us.

Father, please keep President Trump and his family and all of his cabinet members in the cleft of a rock and protected from Satan and all that he is attempting to do to destroy your creation. Please give them wisdom in all their ways and direct their paths.
