Trump’s nominee to Israel’s ambassador believes that we need a bloodshed in the Middle East to reach the end of times. No one can be the worst choice.

Today the Senate Foreign Committee will hold a nomination for the extreme, ultra -conservative former Governor Arkansas Mike Hakabi to become US Ambassador to Israel. Any senator who believes that foreign policy should be introduced in human rights and international rights – and who does not want an extremist Christian fundamentalism that regulates our policy – can be abolished against this nomination with all that is.
If Hakabi just agreed with the dangerous and inhuman policy of Israel Trump administration, this would be enough to confront his choice. But this is only part of the problem. Hakobi also believes in the tension of Christian fundamentalism, called Christian Zionism, in which people literally pray for war in Palestine/Israel as a sign of Christ. For Christian Zionists US politicians must take root in A literal interpretation of the Bible This suggests that the Jewish conquest throughout the historical Palestine is a necessary prerequisite for the admiration and return of Christ. Christian Zionists believe that when it happens, non -Christian will either go to Christianity or burn in eternal hell.
While Christian Zionist groups pretend that their support for Israel is implemented in the care of Jewish security, it is a trick. As journalist Shane Berley interpret“While Christian Zionists can be the hottest supporters of Israel and will often fulfill the commitment to Jews as publicly as possible, their attitude to Jews is more in line with traditional anti -Semitism than virtually any other modern perspective.”
In other words, Hakobi wants to continue to equip and nourish the genocide of the Government of the Israeli government and apartheid against the Palestinians because it believes that it will help to bring in the end. For Hakabi, cataclysmatical violence, as the Israeli destruction of gas military personnel, is not a violation of international law and spots on our collective humanity, but a sign of the expected return of Christ. And Jews are nothing but a tool to fulfill your messianic vision. As for the Palestinians, they are not considered people at all – what Hakabi did obvious when he declared“There is no such thing as a Palestinian.”
If you are trying to bring apocalypse, international law and human rights, usually occupy a back place. Hakobi is an open supporter of the illegal settlement of Israel and theft of Palestinian land, even refusal to use this term “West Bank”, insisting instead of turning to the biblical “Jews and Samaria”. He even helped literally Lay bricks of illegal Israeli settlement On the Palestinian land, adding that one day he can want to buy a house in an illegal settlement.
Of course, you do not need to be a Christian Zionist to ignore international law. (As Biden’s administration has shown, you also do not need to be a republican.) There are already signs that Hakobi will unite his strength with representative Eliza Stefanic, Trump’s choice for UN ambassador; Upon learning of her nomination, Hakababi shared her hope that she was “jackhammer” in the institution. But its specific tension of extremism has been gaining cravings for decades in the US government. Christian Zionists are the power of climbing in American politics and formed an unclean alliance with Donald Trump. Secretary of Trump Defense, Pete Hegset, also Christian Zionist. It is closely connected with Christian nationalist groups and Celebrates Crusades As an exciting example of a European Christian. Christians united for Israel (CUFI) are the largest pro -Israeli organization in the US. It can boast 8 million membersMore than the entire population of American Jews. Cupy founder, pastor John Khagi, named Hakabi’s highlight “Inspiring choice“Hagy regularly expresses his alleged love for Israel under the guise of concern for Jewish people, but he has a history of horrific anti -Semitism, including saying The fact that God sent Hitler as a hunter to push the Jewish people to Israel.
The Trump regime and its allies in the Christian Zionist movement are racists and anti -Semites, which represent as protectors of the Jewish people in the game in the wrong direction and lies. They are welcome and encouraged when Israeli government pogroms of Palestinians in gas with ransom scorers, disables humanitarian aid and electricity up to 2 million, uses hunger as weapons of war and drives tens of thousands of Palestinians from their homes occupied The west shore. And returning to the US, they attack activists who are working on to complete Israel genocide Palestinians, for example, recent targeting students and deportation scientists, including Mahmoud Khalil and Badar Khan Suri.
We observe the deployment of authoritarian and fascist regime that floats under the guise of defending Jews, while actually the platform Christian nationalists. white nationalistsand Nazi condolencesDemoning our social justice movements, crush free speech and punish anti -war activists.
The Democratic Party has shamefully cooperated, allowed and fueled the violence and atrocities of the Israeli government against the Palestinians, including genocide in the last 17 months. But millions of people conscience, including most Democratic votersUnderstandable in its request by the US government to stop the armament of Israel and unwavering in defense of civil liberties at home. This week, the Democrats in the Senate Foreign Committee have the opportunity to resist another dangerous nomination of Trump, which died on mass violence and destruction. They need to wake up and act now until it’s too late.
The hard and chaotic second term Donald Trump is just beginning. In the first month, Trump’s office and his Like -Elon Musk (or this is the opposite?) Proved that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar without checking strength and wealth.
