When will Jews ever learn???? This Machsheifa (Witch) who voted to place Iranian Nuclear Bombs in the hands of the Iranian Murderers, now stabbed her Jewish constituents in the back, by withdrawing her sponsorship from a bill that opposed the boycott of Israeli products!
Stupid Jews keep voting for these liberal democrats who are all hidden anti-Semites. They voted democratic to elect FDR who was directly responsible for the murder of thousands of Jews by refusing to bomb the railways to the concentration camps. They voted overwhelmingly twice for Hussain Obama .....
In a rare move and after facing criticism at town hall meetings, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, withdrew her sponsorship of an anti-BDS bill.
A search of the congressional website on Wednesday showed that Gillibrand withdrew her sponsorship. Asked for comment, her spokesman, Glen Caplin, said Gillibrand remains opposed to the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel, and supported the bill’s intentions, but is concerned that its critics are concluding that the bill would impinge on civil liberties.
She wants the bill to remove those ambiguities, Caplin said.
“She wants to see the bill rewritten to see those concerns addressed,” he told JTA in an interview.
He referred to her comments earlier this week at a town hall meeting in Queens in which she said she was withdrawing support for the measure and seeking a modification of the bill to address civil liberties concerns.
“I’m going to urge them to rewrite it to make sure it says specifically this does not apply to individuals,” Gillibrand said at the time, describing her reactions after a meeting with the American Civil Liberties Union, which had objected to the bill.
She did not agree with the ACLU’s reading of the bill, but believed the group had come by it honestly, and was concerned that others would draw the same conclusion.
Gillibrand said her principal concern was that the bill could be read as targeting individuals who participate in the BDS movement.
“This is only applying to companies,” she said. “This applies to those working to undermine foreign policy. It has to be very specific that someone who is in favor of BDS can speak their mind and somebody who is against BDS can speak their mind, but you are always allowed to speak your mind. So I’m going to try and get the bill revised so there’s no ambiguity, that it’s just an extension of this foreign policy, which I think does make sense.”
Activists at multiple town halls had confronted Gillibrand over her support for the bill. Some of the questions were organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, which backs BDS, and the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, among other groups.
Critics, including the ACLU, say the bill, which expands 1970s era laws targeting the Arab League boycott to include boycotts initiated by international organizations, would inhibit free speech. Another objection from the left is that the bill encompasses boycotts of settlement goods.
Defenders of the bill say its ambit is narrow, and that it only addresses active cooperation with boycotts initiated by foreign governments and international organizations, and would not extend to general declarations of intent to boycott Israel or its settlements.
Most recently, Amnesty International has come out against the bill.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., is co-sponsored by nearly half the Senate. A similar bill is under consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives.
as long as they her girlfriend Ezra i allowed to spew her vicious antisemitic opinions everybody will listen maybe because her father is a rebbele
ReplyDeleteDIN,haven't you got the message already,most Jews don't give a damn about Israel,the reform and assimilated jews never cared and a very large part of so called frum orthodox jews the yeshiva crowd are completely indifferent about our holy land they consider Medinas Yisroel another temporary GALUS way station just like a Poland Hungary or Russia,and then we have the criminally insane KAPO Jew hating Satmar gangsters who are murderous bitter enemies of our God given land and pray three times a day for it's demise and destruction.
ReplyDeletewhat a sad and bitter situation,and then we wonder why MOSHIACH has not arrived yet.
CHAIM
When wondering why Mashiach has not come yet we all must look first at ourselves.
ReplyDeleteAishKodesh, there's been no end of soul searching and beating ourselves up, over millennia. To what result??
ReplyDeleteEon
Eon,
DeleteWhat's your point?
I (sort of) understand how you must feel, but nevertheless, if A) we hve not yet become Tzaddikim, and B) Mashiach has not yet come, then we obviously have not done adequuate Teshuva....
ReplyDeleteAishKodesh 8:51PM,
ReplyDeleteI looked at myself the minute I saw your response and I liked what I saw, even admirable if you begrudge me a smidgen of boastfulness.
I don't know Moshiach hasn't yet arrived but it isn't because of me.
I don't think its right blasting jews over your political views. Your associating a huge group of people and saying they all think, act, and vote the same way its very very ignorant.
ReplyDeletePlease educate your self.
Check out a blog I came across. It's well written and not a racist rant about politics.. This is how you construct a blog.

Abe, I am sure that you must have some problems. But I am certainly glad that you are admirable. Also, it's a good sign if you even tried to do a Cheshbon HaNefesh. I wish we all did more!
ReplyDeleteGut Shabbos Nachamu!
AishKodesh 3:26PM,
DeleteI do have some problems and two of them are giving me a real headache right now. I have a hangnail on my left small toe that's killing me and I grilled my hamburger 10 minutes too long on my BBQ. Now I'll be forced to eat a cold pastrami sandwich for Shabbos.
Maybe those problems are why Moshiach hasn't yet come?
And my Chesbon Hamefesh is squarely on the plus side.
Aish is a head case
ReplyDeleteGut Voch everyone!
ReplyDeleteAbe, does squarely on the plus side' mean you were only looking for Maalehs?
Aish is a darling DIN loves the idiot
ReplyDeleteRight about that he's a dumb putz
Deletesome of you don't believe in Moshiach anyway so every argument is wasted, but for those who do, the most we can say is we don't know why he isn't coming but hope and believe he.ll come soon.
ReplyDelete1:46, Absolutely! And we all individually can do much to bring it!
