“THE SQUAD” LIKENS BOYCOTTING ISRAEL TO BOYCOTTING NAZIS

The tight-knit “Squad” of freshman progressive lawmakers has started to adopt a curious new talking point — defending Israel boycotts by likening them to boycotts against Nazi Germany.
[“The Squad” as the group of far-left progressive freshman lawmakers are known, is comprised of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). They have been a vocal and aggressive group, banding together for pushing far-left ideas and dominating news sound bites.]

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was the latest to make this comparison, speaking on the House floor Tuesday in opposition to a bipartisan resolution against the movement known as BDS — which calls for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.
“The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country,” said Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, before noting, “Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization, imprisonment, and genocide of Jewish people.” She also made reference to boycotts against apartheid South Africa.
The anti-BDS bill passed by a vote of 398-17.
Days earlier, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., introduced a resolution of her own that subtly supported BDS without specifically mentioning Israel. That resolution also utilized the Nazi Germany comparison.
“Whereas Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad, including … boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust,” the resolution said. . . .
Some Jewish lawmakers have bristled at the comparison and at the Squad’s continued support for BDS.
“In twisting the knife, the text of Omar’s pro-BDS resolution goes so far as attempting to draw a moral equivalency with boycotting Nazi Germany,” Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., wrote in a Fox News op-ed.
In the past, Omar has accused members of Congress of supporting Israel due to lobbyists, implying that they are being paid off. She claimed on Twitter that U.S. support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins baby.” She later deleted the tweet and apologized.
Of the other Squad members, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., voted for the anti-BDS bill, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., joined Tlaib and Omar in opposing it.
Ocasio-Cortez justified her vote to BuzzFeed News by saying it was a matter of free speech and supporting non-violent protest. . . .
Ocasio-Cortez has also used Holocaust comparisons amid other policy debates, including describing detention facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border as “concentration camps.”

Thank you for a prayer clearly spoken and right on target. Hear and answer Lord the prayer of your children and deliver us from lies being spoken over our nation. Let your truth arise and shine brightly before those who are plotting evil.
Yes, Amen!
“O Lord save Your people and bless Your inheritance; grant victory to our country over it’s enemies and preserve Your nation , by the power of Your Criss‼️“
Lord, please confuse the strategy of the demonic realm against Israel. Make one lie prove another wrong until they kill each other and fall to the ground, in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen!
AMEN and AMEN!!!
Dear Heavenly Father, please awaken our country to the dangers of radical Islamic political jihad. These women are being used as mouthpieces for the demolition of our Judeo-Christian values and morals. Please give us the mind of Christ so we discern your voice and can act to head off this destruction. Fortify us with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to implement a plan to save Your people. We need courage to stand up to the Truth and bring it to reality. You love each and every person, but are very disappointed in our choices to be passive, and tolerant of evil. Persecution cannot stop Your Supernatural Power! We love You, LORD, and have been duped into thinking we are helpless against idols! Strengthen the Church to speak to the Storm of political and social turbulence, confusion, and upheaval. “Fear Not!” We must be brave and speak the words of everlasting Life. The entertainment industry has poisoned our thoughts and keeps our beliefs confused about right and wrong. We are helplessly addicted to this world and it’s vanities! Be our First and Only Priority! Amen.
Amen, Lord help the general public to see the real intentions and face of the sguad, give this country Your godly wisdom and insight . Save our country. in Jesus name, Amen.
Yes!! I agree with this prayer Lord Jesus, strengthen our resolve to stand up for the things you stand for, with wisdom, compassion and boldness.
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Shift and change these women for good or remove them from office. Thwart any plan not of You Father and render it null and void and of no effect. Loose warring angels to bring forth the tearing down of evil plans and protect Israel from devious plots to annihilate Her. The snare the enemy has set he is caught in himself and Israel is free indeed. Open the eyes of these women and give them revelation of Jesus Himself. As Paul was knocked off his high horse and his blind eyes opened let it fall on them as well Lord. Redirect them into the destiny You have for them. In Jesus name. Amen
Amen
YES!!! AND AMEN…
♥️
Such a powerful prayer! Amen!
Amen and Amen. My heart is in total agreement with Jeane Whiteside! Heavenly Father as You send out Your warring angels to do battle for the precious apple of your eye (Israel), every person who is against Israel will fail!
You are raising up the Bride of Christ to unite as one, to be unfailingly strong and courageous, as we are victorious in this battle by declaring Your Word as truth. Thank You in advance for either changing the hearts of these deceived women or removing them from office and replacing them with Pro-Israel, Pro Life persons of faith. Let God arise and His enemies (which are enemies of Israel) be scattered! In Jesus Name. Amen
Heavenly Father, Hear our prayer as we come in agreement with Jaane’s prayer. More than 2 or 3 of us agree, Father. Let these women come to know You and the Truth or be removed from office.
We come against the spirit of lawlessness and release the Truth. We come against the spirit of this present evil age and release the Spirit of Life in Christ. Thank You Father for strengthening us so we don’t grow weary in our praying. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we pray. Amen
Lord their hearts are in darkness as they do not know your truth. Lord send people to speak your word and let their hearts be opened to you so your light can encompass them. Forgive them. You are the God of miracles. Bring this entire nation to revival as we need to be seeking your face.
YES LORD! Give them a dream or vision to see Your Truth just like Saul on the road to Damascus to persecute You followers. They believe they are right . Humble their wicked Jezebel vitriol. Save their souls! 🇮🇱
Yes Lord, humble them, if they persist, do not change, let the people who elected them see their true face, true motives and vote them out next term. in Jesus name, Amen. Make people smarter Lord.
I will Bless them who Bless you and curse him/her who curses you, and in you all families of the earth will be blessed. If my people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and PRAY, and SEEK My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land!! We are called to be a House of prayer!!
Let’s engage!!
