Former New York Governor George Pataki opened the Republican Jewish Coalition spring conference last nite.
“BDS IS ANTI-SEMETIC”
“There is no more loyal ally to America than Israel.”
“We must move American embassy to Israel.”
Pataki said every GOP candidates to adopt the following five principles, which he deems as vital for America. In private meetings, it is believed that Pataki will urge Republican Jewish mega-donors to make support of these principles a pre-requisite to receive financial support.
•The Jackson Rule: Anyone involved in recruiting or fundraising for ISIS, Hamas or any other terrorist organization will face criminal charges in the U.S.
•The Internet does not provide a special safe haven to suspend the laws against incitement to acts of violence against America. The organization–or mosque, church, etc – will lose their non-profit status. Named after former Supreme Court Justice Thomas who presided over the Nuremburg Trials who said, “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.”
•No Peace Talks With current Palestinian leadership: Agree with Prime Minister Netanyahu that the current Palestinian leaders are not — repeat not — credible partners in peace. The Secretary of State must not waste one minute shuttling around trying to force some mythical deal until there is a credible partner in peace. •No Foreign Aid To Palestinian Authority: Until the Palestinians stop giving monies to imprisoned terrorists and stipends to families of the suicide bombers, they will not receive U.S. aid. These terrorists are enemies of America and the West.
•A New Commitment to SDI: Work with America’s allies to create a foolproof Iron Dome. The current Iran Dome has 90% efficiency – we need it better. It can also be used for America, as certain military experts believe “we cannot defend against a Chinese or Russian missile assault.” A foolproof Iron Dome could also be given to South Korea to guard against North Korea, and other allies.
Pataki is the last Republican Governor to win a majority of Jewish votes. Interestingly, he also received almost 50 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2002 in New York.
The New York Times noted that “the Republican succeeded in driving a wedge in the black-Latino coalition that has come together in the past to support Democratic candidates.”

Exactly what is “BDS” and, strangely, I thought the USoA did have an Embassy in Israel!? Perhaps you mean Jerusalem?
I would really like an edit function for those mornings with insufficient caffeine before I post.
Just got back from Colombia...Israeli businesses are popping up all over. Venezuela has run out most of the Jews.....but Jews are finding new lives/homes in Colombia. A common thread of all the Jews Ive met in Colombia is their hatred for our fav prez..............
Israeli developers are doing a booming biz....the construction levels reminds me of building boom in the ME during the early 80s
BDS = Boycott, Divest and Sanctions
Not bad, but he’s not that great on some other issues.
I thought the US already had an embassy in Israel.
“I thought the US already had an embassy in Israel.”
We do but it’s in the wrong place: Tel Aviv. Despite a law that requires our embassy to be moved to the CAPITAL of Israel, JERUSALEM, our administrations refuse for fear of offending the oil-producers.
He meant Jerusalem, the capital.
Interesting. The sibling of a close friend, not Jewish, moved back to Columbia, birthplace of his wife, four or five years ago. Liked the place when he lived there in the past, but went back because business conditions have changed.
