A DOD Official Exposes The Intellectual Bankruptcy Of Diversity

The problem for the Squad is that, once the IRS has something in its sights, what’s sauce for the pro-Israel goose is sauce for the pro-BDS gander.

Sharon Wrobel reports in The Algemeiner that “US Representatives Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and five other Democrats have called for the US Treasury to stop granting tax exemptions to American charitable organizations active in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.” Once the government gets in the act, it’s going to start looking at all charitable organizations, sweeping in BDS activities as well.

I am sure that Squad members Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Pressley, along with Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, believe sacrifices must be made for the Cause, as long as others make the sacrifices. I cannot give legal advice, but I suspect that it is civilly and perhaps even criminally unlawful to use the Internal Revenue Service, or any other Federal agency, to harm somebody with whom you disagree. This means that, were Secretary Yellen to act on this incitement, her career (but not those of the aforementioned Democrats) might be at serious risk.

This is far from an isolated incident when it comes to leftists sacrificing others in their efforts to destroy Israel. Ben & Jerry’s acceded to pressure to end sales of its ice cream in what it calls the Occupied Palestinian Territories and is now losing business wholesale. Numerous states are invoking anti-boycott laws to disqualify the company from doing business with them, while a Forbes article implies a breach of fiduciary duty:

But Unilever has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders. It is now time for Unilever to find ways to terminate that old arrangement that takes Unilever shareholders hostages by Ben & Jerry’s independent board.

Might as well lump white people right in there with the Jews for the old fashioned hate fest.

Re: "Once the government gets in the act, it's going to start looking at all charitable organizations, sweeping in BDS activities as well."

Wishful thinking.

Biden and the IRS will just ignore the law, and ignore BDS.

If someone tries to stop their anti-Israel malfeasance, any lawsuits will disappear within the politically corrupt federal judiciary for decades.

They do.

“Once the government gets in the act, it’s going to start looking at all charitable organizations, sweeping in BDS activities as well.”

I’m not clear why the author assumes this statement to be true. This present government can’t be judged based on the governments of the past except perhaps in dictatorships and 3rd world nations.
