Mr Trump claimed Ilhan Omar did not like Israel at a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Las Vegas. “Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota,” he said. “Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel. I forgot. I’m so sorry.” Responding to Mr Trump’s latest comments about, the 37-year-old mother of three who is the first Somali-American, first African-born American, and one of the first two Muslim American women to serve in the US Congress, tweeted: “My Lord, forgive my people for they do not know.” Mr Trump’s attack against Ms Omar, was part of a wide-ranging speech, which saw him tout his decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv and his recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. He was nonetheless denounced by the Jewish Democratic Council of America executive director Halie Soifer. “We strongly denounce President Trump’s continued assault on decency and truth, as was evident in his speech earlier today before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas,” Ms Soifer said. She added that Mr Trump’s “policies and rhetoric are antithetical to Jewish values and … antisemitism has increased to unprecedented levels due to Trump’s divisive words, policies and willful blindness “What happened today in Las Vegas was a shameful display of lies and arrogance.”

Trump is surrounded by Jews All of these idiots are being paid to spend American taxes on Isreal It would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that they're doing it out of being scumbags and not because they care about supporting allies

God there has to be a better way to word that first sentence.

Trump is being psychically mind controlled by Jewish vampires https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2018/05/29/11/alex-jones.jpg?w968h681

when the GOP is making an 8 figure ad play for american jewish voters, attacking a politician who is a member of a minority religion probably isn't a great start.

My whole life this country's been obsessed with Israel, to the point of trying to silence people who have something negative to say against Israel, and I still don't know why

only western bastion in the middle east

Evangelicals believe helping Isreal will trigger the apocalyptic events of Revelation.

Your government are a bunch of bible thumpers.

Trump likes the Jews because he gets to celebrate how long the oil in his skin has lasted every Hannukah.

And said bible thumpers are, in essence, an apocalypse cult. Israel is instrumental in triggering Armageddon, so they've basically been treated like the chosen holy land. I've nothing against Israelites, I've nothing against Christians, but when fucking in their government collude together to perpetuate corruption and genocide, that's fucked.

I never really understood this but, the way I have interpreted from the last few threads discussing it: There is a sect of evangelical Christians that are trying to accelerate the end of the world?

Yes, also similarly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_theology Pence is one of these people

They believe when Israel claims all of the holy land, the apocalypse will begin, and jesus is gonna come down in america and save all the christiants.

which is a joke unto itself with the way Israel's government has been run for the last 20 years

absolute lunacy

actually no that seems about right with how the groups that rabidly support israel want to be

Sheesh, they're taking "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" to the extreme, I see.

The funny thing is I'm pretty sure I recall Revelations stating that only 144,000 would be saved. And I strongly doubt that the sort of people who would support this sort of bullshit are the sort who would be considered qualified to get into Heaven.

Evangelists interpret that passage as 144,000 Jewish converts

What if Israel does that and it doesn't result in the breaking of the seals? What would these cultists do then?

Then they obviously haven't claimed enough of the holy land!

Was raised fundamentalist evangelical here in the Midwest and it is absolutely terrifying just how deeply dominionist/zionist rhetoric has seeped into America's political system. In the past this shit has been at least an undercurrent instead of blatantly egregious.

Considering that every doomsday prediction has failed so far, there's a lot of precedent for it. Tl;dr they basically do not care. Less committed members may leave but the rest make minor adjustments to their doomsday predictions and are pleased with themselves for passing the test of faith.
