By Dr. Patrick Slattery — As the following articles from the this week show, Congress is busy conducting the people’s business — the “chosen” people’s business, that is. First, the House of Representatives has established a bipartisan task force to combat anti-Semitism around the world. If there is one thing that will break the gridlock in Washington, it is a chance to demonstrate subservience to Jewish campaign paymasters. I wish that were hyperbole, but it’s just a plain fact.

The mostly Jewish co-chairs of the task force issued a statement saying Jews face hatred “solely because of their faith,” and that political differences are simply alibis. Roger Cukierman, president of the Council of Jewish Institutions of France, testified to the task force that “On the Internet, ways were found to ban child pornography. Likewise, anti-Semitism must be banned,”

Next, another bipartisan group is seeking funding for a US-Israel energy and water development program. I could understand water development programs with Canada or Mexico, as the U.S. shares rivers and lakes with them. But this is just one more way of sending the Jewish State our tax dollars without calling it foreign aid.

Finally, two Republican congressmen have introduced legislation to prevent boycotts of Israel, whereby prospective contractors with the U.S. government would be required to certify that they are not participating in any boycotts against Israel. The bill also includes penalties for false certification, including permanently banning a company from doing business with the government. This would be in addition to existing law preventing companies from participating in the Arab League boycott of Israel.

Please keep in mind that this is just a sampling of this week’s treachery in Congress, which comes fresh on the heels of revelations of wide-spread Congressional complicity with Israeli spying on the U.S. and “Netanyahu Worshipfest 2015, a John Boehner production.”
