South Carolina Resolution Affirming that Israel’s Biblical Claims Trump Human Rights

In keeping with the great American tradition of bigotry and hatred, South Carolina’s legislature unanimously passed a resolution in support of Israel. Based on the resolution, anyone who supports human rights in the Middle East hates both Israel and the U.S.. The resolution does contradict itself (sort of) when it says that God commanded that “governance must be in one law for all without drawing distinction between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens, as contained in Leviticus 24:22.” Of course many orthodox Jews interpret Judaism and Jewish law as asserting that non-Jews must be subservient to and under the authority of Jews. The resolution is a disgrace to the meaning of democracy and human rights and to anyone who recognizes that the greatest teaching is found in one’s heart. Any teaching that separates one from his/her heart and prevents one from thinking for one’s self is a false teaching. To read the resolution click here
