State Department Funds Televised Call for Boycotting Israel; The New York Times Is Amused
Algemeiner Journal ^ | 6/6/16 | Ira Stoll

Posted on 06/06/2016 5:09:38 PM PDT by Nachum

The State Department is using American taxpayer dollars to finance Palestinian Arabs celebrating violent attacks on Israelis and advocating a boycott of Israel and the division of its capital city.

Where’s the outrage?

Not in the New York Times, which treats the topic as subject for a light-toned feature article about what it describes as a Palestinian “reality television show.”

The show features contestants who “run” for the job of Palestinian president. The Times article reports that “the three finalists all had similar platforms: Boycott Israel. Designate East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.”

Later, the Times reports, almost in passing, that the television program “broadcast on the Maan satellite network to large audiences in Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere in the Arab world — was funded mostly by a State Department grant.”

Cuomo is pushing for the state to cut business ties with any company in the BDS business. All else is business as usual.

I would love to be in charge of the State Dept. budget. No funding for thugs, no funding for Gay Pride crap, no funding for Climate Change hoaxes. You think they would be give me percentage of what I saved the taxpayers?

At the very top of my bucket list is to tour Israel with my sister before we get too old. At the rate the people running our gov are going to get Americans banned and Israel wiped off theap. D@mn them.

I pray for us and Israel.

the Snake Dept. has been infested with Nazis for many years

nothing new there

a really sicko place

will make zero impact in the real world, however...
they make lots of noise and they embarrass good Americans year after year after year
but they can actually do relatively little more damage than they’ve already done, imho

RightGeek :" You think they would be give me percentage of what I saved the taxpayers?

Not unless your name is Klinton, and then they would launder money to your foundation as a "donation".
You really have to "follow the money"
Both when it goes out , and to whom ?
And where the money comes in , and from whom ! We have a SNAKE Dept. that is up for sale !

I would go for a 90% reduction in force. Each State Department employee would have to stand before the new SecState as he barks the question “why should you still have this job” in the manner of a senior drill instructor.

I wonder where I apply for a grant to create a sit-com where dhimmicrats are hunted for sport. I guarantee they’d be dying in the aisles.

The snake dept has been a major embarrassment to USA for years. And it’s being a “safe haven” for Nazis has been a part of this problem, a problem that’s only gotten much worse under Obama. . A serious clean out is definitely needed ASAP

Yep. And they keep Netanyahu in office just to put a thumb in Obama's eye.
