would not have thought that a busload of Jews (and their supporters) would be stranded in a European airport because the bus drivers refused to take them. Five years ago I would not have been surprised.

One year ago I would not have thought it would happen in the US. Two weeks ago I would not have been surprised. Who knew that DC bus drivers were such deep and sincere Anti-Zionists! (Not anti-Jew, of course. Big, important distinction!)

I wonder if they feel the same way about the US? They should. Let me back up a bit, and show you a tweet:

The best way to ensure security for Jews is to dissolve the country where they can define themselves and defend themselves, and disperse them among other populations in other countries where they have no history.

Relocating Palestinians to Jordan, of course, is off the table.

Okay, file that one away. Next:

The United States, we can infer, does not have a right to exist.

Bus and taxi drivers at Dulles Airport are overwhelmingly Arabic and / or muslim. Just saying...

God is forcing everyone to take a side. Either the Holy Land and salvation comes through the Jews (and specifically the lamb of God who takes our sins), or or it comes from Edom (Idumea, Arabs) and Islam. This is called the “Controversy of Zion”…

Isaiah 34:34 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. 2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. 3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. 8 For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

Amanda you ignorant slut, by your standard every nation on Earth today is a settler-colony.

Every patch of land other than Antarctica has been repeatedly invaded and conquered repeatedly over the 100 thousand years or so that men have existed on this planet.

There are no truly indigenous people anywhere on Earth.

Recent research shows even the Australian Aboriginal people displaced an earlier people.

The Leftist loons need to face facts and accept that there are no innocents when it comes to the origins of nations.
