I'm going to write this one last post on this topic and that's it... I really don't want to go on and on about on this topic as this discussion is focused on Donald Trump, hence it's name. Now this has turned into a discussion about is Zionism racist or not. I just want to point out a few things about the state of Israel, their Zionist government, and aggressive supremacist Zionist policies. Even the US has lambasted Israel in certain cases - of course the media won't discuss it though or show dead Palestinian children on TV...
Me being against the Zionist policies of Israel that make life an utter hell for Palestinians (both Muslim and Catholic) does not make me a racist. It's unfortunate that the media's unwavering support for Israel has gotten to you so bad that you don't even question things like this.
Yes a lot of those countries sponsoring that specific bill were Arab countries but I mean those in favor like China, Mexico, India, Grenada, Cyprus, etc. I don't really see how they can gain much for labeling a movement as racist. That's like if India, Maldives, and Brazil voted to label the KKK as racist. So let's take a look at some UN Security Council Resolutions - of which the US, a huge Israel supporter, is part of
The Democrats blindly support Israel while decrying Arab countries for limiting human rights. Well, look how strict the laws for marraige are in Israel - state of Israel essentially won't allow you to get married unless both parents are Jewish... Can you imagine if there was a law in the US right now preventing a white person and a black person from getting married? Well, such laws exist in Israel.

Would you support a country that kills US troops? Probably not. Well, most of you support IsraelIDF forces even killed a bunch of American troops and sank the USS liberty yet we still send them $30 bil a year. The Navy covered up this whole affair and the DoD refused an investigation wrmea.org/1993-june/the-assault-on-the-uss-liberty-still-covered-up-after-26-years.html

Israel is in the process of passing laws which would allow for only males 50 and over to worship at the Al Aqsa mosque, make
stone throwing at IDF forces a terrorist crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison with a bare minimum of 5, and also the government has publicly stated that hunger strikes by Palestinians are a form of terrorism... so they're even taking away people's right to non-violent protest

So let's take a look at other UN resolutions against Israel...
entire list - there has to be at least 100 -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_UN_resolutions_concerning_Israel_and_Palestine
Here's some of my favorites - If you go to the bottom there is whole list of UN Security Council Resolutions - this means even the US is against Israel's actions in some cases.. If you scroll through these though they're awful - massacres of students, forced deportation, refusing benefits to parents of a kid who threw a stone at a tank, bulldozing of homes, illegal settlements, i mean the list goes on and on..
Resolution 592: " ... 'strongly deplores' the killing of Palestinian students at Birzeit University by Israeli troops".
Resolution 515: " ... 'demands' that Israel lift its siege of Beirut and allow food supplies to be brought in" - starving civilians... very nice Israel
Resolution 518: " ... 'demands' that Israel cooperate fully with UN forces in Lebanon". Israel essentially refuses to leave Lebanon - there were several resolutions prior to this asking IDF forces to leave
Resolution 487: " ... 'strongly condemns' Israel for its attack on Iraq's nuclear facility" - This was a peaceful reactor built by the French and registered with the International Atomic Energy Association. It was proven that this reactor did not have the capacity to produce nuclear weapons.
Resolution 476: " ... 'reiterates' that Israel's claim to Jerusalem are 'null and void'". - Tell that to the Zionist government that keeps building illegal settlements in the West Bank and bulldozes innocent civilians homes.
Resolution 465: " ... 'deplores' Israel's settlements and asks all member states not to assist Israel's settlements program". - another one about illegal settlements
Resolution 672 (12 Oct 1990): " ... 'condemns' Israel for "violence against Palestinians" at the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. -
Resolution 1397 (12 Mar 2002) the first resolution to explicitly call for a two-state solution.
No matter how you look at it... Israel is responsible for countless atrocities against women, children, innocent civilians, and even US soldiers. I do believe that the Jews deserve their homeland that's not the issue. Now that they do have it though, the Zionist government flat out refuses to abide by a two state solution and respect the Palestinians. The media will have you think that the Israelis are the ones suffering under home made missle attacks when that is far from the truth and a totally disproportionate representation of the real situation.
It's the same thing in the US - we took the Indian's land but at least they still have reservations and aren't treated as 2nd class citizens and killed by the armed forces on a regular basis. Well, Palestinians and anyone that gets in the way of Zionist expansion is treated as a 2nd class citizen and may get killed. This is the political Zionism formed by Theodore Herzl that I am against.
I am done talking about this in this thread... can we please go back to Trump, Hilary, etc.
