Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle want to protect the state’s Israeli financial holdings despite mounting public pressure to cut ties amid the ongoing war with Hamas.

Sens. Steve Santarsiero, D-Doylestown, and Kristin Phillips-Hill, R-Jacobus, said they’ll soon introduce legislation to “uphold Pennsylvania’s steadfast support for Israel” by banning from state Treasury or pension funds from divesting from the nation and companies that do business with it.

Santarsiero emphasized Israel’s role as a commercial trading partner, historical ally, and “the only true democracy in a volatile region of the world.”

I came to ask the same.

Since you did, let me reply to them:

No. Go away, you terrorist loving spawn. We will not submit to your death cult masked as a religion.

Banning Israeli investment shouldn’t happen.

Demanding Israeli investment shouldn’t happen either.

Pennsylvania’s pension fund investments should be supporting Pennsylvania and her citizens.

I would like to know who and what is fanning the hate about Israel & Jews and on the other hand is preaching and encouraging tolerance when it comes to muslims. Yes I know Soros, a Jew himself apparently is one of the perpetrators; but he certainly isn’t the only one. There appears to be some deep ingrained hate what escapes me. No doubt that some folks on this forum can shed some light on this subject.

Most of my poli sci/sociology professors had a ‘rich bad, poor good’ attitude...that might be part of it.

Soros is a kapo, having collaborated with the Nazis in looting Jews during the war. How can he be considered a Jew. Who is his Rabbi anyway?

What kind of psychological profile must George Soros have! With what he went through in his early years, his relationship to Jews and Judaism would be complicated.
