theguardian.com
At event in Iowa, governor conflates Palestinian civilians with Hamas, the terrorist group that attacked Israel a week ago
Highlights:
“We cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees,” he said. “If you look how they behave … not all of them are Hamas but they are all antisemitic, none of them believe in Israel’s right to exist.”
Last week, the Florida governor described a pro-Palestine demonstration in Tampa and a “Victory to Palestine” event in Fort Lauderdale as “abhorrent”.
The New York Post reported on Saturday that House Republicans had introduced new legislation to prevent the United States from accepting any new Palestinian refugees who might be fleeing the crisis in Gaza.

I remember when he avoided denouncing neo-nazis protesting in Orlando a few months ago
I'm quite confused how much these nazis support Isreal and at the same time hate. Jews.
Anarchoevangelism — where Jesus returns to Israel to signal the rapture and to rescue all believers while the earth burns to hell. Typical fairy tail religious bull shit, taken seriously by complete morons.
The state of Israel is important to evangelical Christians. The Jews, not so much.
“The LifeWay poll also asked evangelical respondents what factors contribute to their support for the state of Israel. More than 6 in 10 cited God’s pledge to Abraham. The third-most-cited reason was that the existence of Israel was necessary for fulfilling prophecy. More than half of evangelicals said that was a reason they supported Israel’s existence.”
