Texas elementary school speech pathologist loses job for refusing to sign mandatory pro-Israel oath

this is another part of corruption in the political system, politicians essentially being servants for foreign governments. Substitute Israel for Russia and say we'd still have this on the books. Someone should take this directly to court
That is beyond fucked. Talk about an invasion of privacy. She needs to sue every last one of these assholes who signed off on putting that requirement in the paperwork. Motherfuckers
When politicians can be bank rolled legally by corporations and foreign interests, you get this. A betrayal to what the US stands for. The supreme court just made easier a few years ago for politicians to get money. I don't think the US constitution was created to anticipate these sort of problems but here they are.
Can someone briefly explain why evangelicals are so pro-israel?
Is it because that's where their god came from?
Is it because that's where their god came from?
No, it's because they want to be around for the biblical apocalypse and Israel is necessary for that to happen.
Yeah, I assumed it was the school district being assholes, but I looked it up, and it's an actual law on the books.
It has something to do with Jesus coming back and kick-starting the Rapture if I remember correctly. I think the Bible says that the establishment of a Jewish nation is a sign of his impending return or something along those lines. So folks who take the Bible literally view Israel as a pivotal part of Jesus coming back and shepherding all good Christians to heaven while the world burns. Therefore they believe that Israel must be protected at all costs.
Because modern Israel is what they want America to be.
A white supremacist state that is killing all the browns.
Some sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy of Israel having to exist for the 2nd coming of ya boy Jesus.
Some stupid shit like that.
Careful what you wish for.
"The Bible teaches that Russia, Iran, Ethioia, Turkey and other nations will come down under a UN flag and they will invade Israel at this particular point"
My solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is novel, and some might say absurd.
There are about 8 million Israelis and 4 million Palestinians living in that region of the world.
They should all move.
The Israelis and Palestinians show move to opposite ends of the Earth. The entire Israeli region should be abandoned completely.
And we should never speak of this matter ever again.

Nothing. This is something on all vendor contacts having to do with government in the state.
The basic fact is that every country is influenced by other counties. Russia tried to tilt the balance to their favor for in 2016 but Israel has had a concerted effort to align politicians towards their points of view under the threat of being labeled 'antisemitic' for much longer.
It concerns me that so many people are less outraged by the influence of Israel over Russia.
I mean Marc Lamont Hill had apparently used unacceptable phrasing of language which got him labeled as persona-non-grata, and it was just speaking non controversial truths.
I understand the tangible fear of many Israeli Jews of having a repeat of WW2, but their methods of trying to avert it might actually be fomenting negative ideologies towards the State of Israel. People should be able to practice whatever their beliefs as long as it doesn't harm others, but it's been clear for a long time that the Settlements and the Gazan situation is not conducive to having positive attitudes towards Israeli people.
(Not to mention Israel funding Nazis in Ukraine, which only spreads the ideal that Israel is the only safe place for Jews. They're making that a reality.)

And there's a bill pending in Congress to make this federal law.

U.S thralls making Israel great!!
How? Why? America is nothing more than a vassal state.
Here, I'll make it simple for you.
Americans hate Muslims.
Israel hate Muslims.
There. Easy explanation as to why Americans are so in love with Israel. Because Israel is the perfect proxy for their hate towards Muslims.
America and Israel have a symbiotic relationship. America gives Israel political and financial support, no questions asked, and Israel acts as one of the countries in the region the Americans have yet to spread "democracy" so acts as an ally there. Israel makes a huge effort to involve itself in the domestic politics of nations, which is important for them to do seeing as their rightful existence as a state is contentious on the international stage.
We had this happen in the UK last year. Like most nations with the capability to do so, Israel attempts to influence political opinion into supporting it.

It's just that in the US they seem to have been incredibly more effective. AIPAC is probably a key factor.

I'd say that is more the European explanation for pro-Israeli standpoints here, most don't give a shit about Israel or Jews however they like that they hate Muslims. Literal Nazis will support Israel because it:
1. Is a place to emigrate all the Jews to.
2. An example of making an ethno state.
The Christian narrative exists but is much weaker since Christians and Jews have been at odds in Europe.
In addition, evangelicals get the biggest hard-on for Israel. Ushering in the end times and setting up some Christian NWO super state for Christ's return to earth. It's a bunch of bullshit; I'm not sure if politicians really speak to it, but for religious folks in the south it's basically a mantra.
More like over half the states and possibly federal soon. The laws pass with full bipartisan support.
I wonder if I could put a clause in my businesses contract that any employee or client has to actively boycott Israel.
Was just about to post this.
Weirdly, there is a lot of anti-Semitism mixed in too.
Evangelicals tend to think of themselves as Israel 2.0. It's a weird blend of antisemitism and obsession of Revelation (the second coming cannot come until the temple of David is rebuilt as a literal translation)
It's not. There is no way this would survive judicial review on first amendment grounds.
Where did this law originate and what was its stated purpose when it was proposed?
Was it born of anti-Muslim hysteria following 9/11 or what's the deal?

Evangelicals want a strong Israel so that a new Temple can be built in Jerusalem and the Second Coming of Christ can occur.
