[CTRL] U.S. Aid To Israel Violates 1st Amendment

http://www.etherzone.com/turn081301.shtml U.S. AID TO ISRAEL: VIOLATES SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE By: Hal Turner We all know the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Of course, Courts have routinely twisted and ignored many aspects of this amendment, but none as much as the part about "establishment of religion." In fact, courts have strayed so far from the actual intent of this well-written and clearly understandable amendment, that its legal interpretation hardly resembles the written word at all. Nowadays, any government activity that can be even remotely construed as "endorsing" one religion over another, is attacked in court. For instance, the overwhelmingly Christian communities throughout our nation are routinely told by ACLU totalitarians, that Christmas displays on the front lawns of town hall, are an illegal endorsement of religion by government. Prayer- even non-sectarian prayer - at government-involved events such as high school sporting events, is also deemed illegal. Even something as innocuous as a moment of silence, is deemed an endorsement of religion. With all these government-involved activities here in the US being ruled a "violation of the separation of church and state" how is it that the United States sends $3 to $6 Billion a year in federal foreign aid, loan guarantees and military assistance to Israel? Israel is not a secular state. Israel is a Jewish theocracy. One cannot run for elected office anywhere within Israel unless one is Jewish. One cannot own or lease land in Israel unless one is Jewish. For automobiles, the State of Israel issues color-coded license plates; one color for Jews, the other for non-Jews. . . .even if those non-Jews are actually citizens of Israel! In matters of survival, water is divided based upon religion: Jews give themselves 85% of all water resources, with the remaining 15% to be distributed to the vastly larger group of non-Jews. Religion in Israel is everything. It defines the state. If it is illegal for the US Government to endorse one religion over another, then it must follow that it is illegal for the US government to provide direct monetary aid (endorsement) to the State of Israel because everything making up the government/State of Israel is based upon one thing: religion. And that one religion - Jewish- is absolutely codified in Israeli law as being above all others. Foreign aid by the United States Government to the State of Israel is thus an illegal violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. Such aid is a direct endorsement and sponsorship of one religion over another. The aid violates the U.S. Constitution's separation of Church and State and must be halted, in its entirety, immediately.
