Jew-Hating US Church Goes Progressively Medieval

The Jew-hating agenda of Presbyterian Church USA is cloaked in liberal/progressive/leftist/Democrat sloganeering — in other words, Orwellian Newspeak. The PCUSA utilizes the fashionable squawk of social justice, but mixes it with the blood-soaked theology of supersessionism.

The church’s published work, “Zionism Unsettled,” is a poisonous document that argues for delegitimizing Israel. The subtext of this study guide — a media presentation with all the intellectual posturing and iniquity of the Nuremberg Laws — is an attack on Judaism and Torah whose underpinning is the medieval blood libel.

Make no mistake about it: PCUSA has adopted Jew-hatred as official social and theological doctrine.

The following article was written by my two close friends, Rabbi Abraham Cooper and Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein.

Presbyterian churches are teaching that their Jewish neighbors are inherently racist and prone to abusing the rights of others.

That’s the key message of PCUSA’s new congregational study guide, “Zionism Unsettled.” Released by its Israel-Palestine Mission Network, the guide “explores the theological and ethical exceptionalism of Jewish and Christian Zionism, which have been sheltered from open debate despite the intolerable human rights abuses rooted in their core beliefs.”

To be clear, this is no mere attack on Israeli policies, but rather on the very legitimacy of the Zionist enterprise.

PCUSA has theologically resurrected the UN’s infamous 1975 “Zionism is Racism” resolution (later rescinded). It puts all on notice that lovers of Zion — Jews and Christians alike — are bigots.

To be clear, this is no mere attack on Israeli policies, but rather on the very legitimacy of the Zionist enterprise.
PCUSA’s depiction of Zionism as a sin fills a niche in the global political campaign casting Israel as an illegitimate colonial/historic mistake. It also means that a major (albeit ageing and shrinking) mainline Protestant denomination declares the majority of Jews to be a bunch of morally decadent untermenschen, worthy of condemnation and disparagement. Will the faithful now be taught that Jews are people like us, just a little less so?

The New-Old Jew-Haters of the European Union

When World War II ended sixty-seven years ago, the world learned that one-third of European Jews had been murdered by the Nazis and a multitude of European collaborators.

The Jewish people are easy scapegoats. We are characterized as both communists or capitalists. We are either rootless wanderers or rootless cosmopolitans, a people eternally damned because we rejected the ministry of Jesus or the cruel depredations of Mohammed.

Before the modern state of Israel was established, we were despised as a people without a nation. Now we are despised for having reclaimed it.

The Jewish people’s love of the land of Israel, which is one of the core narratives of the Torah, is part of Christian scripture as well.

Even the Koran, a Jew-hating document par excellence, mentions the Jewish people and Israel. But the Koran, the Torah, and the Christian Bible never mention any place called Palestine or a Palestinian nation. That is because Palestine is a post-modern construct designed by the KGB for their Arab allies during the Cold War. The purpose of this political fabrication was not to establish yet another dysfunctional Arab-Muslim nation, but to commit another genocide of the Jewish people.

We tend to think of Muslim Jew-hatred as an existential threat to Israel and to the Jewish people. We also tend to downplay European Jew-hatred as a vestige of times gone by.

But European Jew-hatred is alive and well. It has morphed into political anti-Zionism. And now the EU has institutionalized Jew-hatred in a series of boycott guidelines that recall the dry, legalistic language of the Nuremberg Laws.

Democrats Revive Nazi Racial Laws

800px-Nuremberg_laws — 1935 chart from Nazi Germany used to explain the Nuremberg Laws.

Some Conservatives are shocked that Elizabeth Warren, whose claim to 1/32nd Cherokee blood, has not withdrawn from the Mass. Senate race in disgrace. After all she is a liar, an affirmative action hustler who parlayed a fake Native American heritage into a professorship at Harvard, all of which should disqualify her from public service.

But as I explained to a friend over the weekend, Elizabeth Warren could torture puppies on national television and it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference… because Warren is a progressive.

The real story isn’t that Warren is an intellectual grifter, the real story is that Warner’s claim to a 1/32nd Native American bloodline is an embodiment of the Nazi Nuremberg Racial Laws.

Does Obama Imagine Bob and Nancy Strait as His Parents?

Here’s a story you won’t hear about in the mainstream media.

Bob Strait, 90 a veteran of the 101st Airborne, was married to his wife Nancy, 85, for 65 years.

A few days ago, their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma was invaded by Tyrone Dale David Woodfork, 20, a black thug armed with a BB gun.

Tyrone beat the aged couple and raped Nancy to death.
