many ways to see this close victory but a big one is seeing how many of 'our' representatives are loyal to a foreign country;
Some may be happy to learn that the US Senate didn’t pass the ‘anti
BDS bill’ on Tuesday. But a look at the vote reveals that America’s
politicians are fully removed from the American ethos of freedom. Fifty
six mostly Republican Senators, just 4 shy of the 60 needed to pass the
bill, voted to enact a law contrary to the Constitutional right
to Freedom of Speech as granted by the 1st amendment. The defeated bill
included a provision to allow states and local governments to punish
Americans who boycott Israel. This was an astonishing and nearly
successful attempt to legislate crude government interference with
freedom of speech in its most protected form: political speech.
The fact that such a bill made it to the floor of the Senate confirms
that the American political establishment is an occupied zone committed
to silencing opposition to Israel and its lobby.
Democrats did not necessarily oppose the anti BDS bill on first
amendment grounds. Instead, most Senate Democrats have vowed to block
all legislation in the Senate until it votes to end the government
shutdown. Trump has closed the Federal government until Congress accedes
to his demand for $5.7 billion to begin to erect an Israeli style
ghetto wall on the Mexican border.
If the president is so desperate to defend America’s southern border,
perhaps he should consider not giving military aid to Israel, even
if just for two years. This would free $8 billion and give Trump enough
cash to build his wall and then maybe he could invest the remaining
$2.3 billion where it’s really needed: to make America great again..........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/anti-bds-bill-defeated/239168
