New York Times: In Reversal, FEMA Won’t Deny Grants To Cities That Boycott Israeli Firms

We’re finally back home from our summer beach vacation.

While I was away, I saw the news that MIGA had hit a new high with the idea of cutting off federal disaster assistance to states and cities which refuse to swear a loyalty oath to Israel!

USA Today:

“WASHINGTON – U.S. states and cities that boycott Israeli companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness, President Donald Trump‘s administraton announced, tying routine federal funding to its political stance.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in grant notices posted Aug. 1 that states must follow its “terms and conditions.” Those conditions require they certify they will not sever “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to qualify for funding.

The requirement applies to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems, among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters. …”

New York Times:

“In a reversal, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not deny grants to states and cities that boycott Israeli companies, the Trump administration said on Monday.

In grant notices posted in recent days, FEMA had said that states and cities needed to follow “terms and conditions” set forth by its parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, that prohibited grantees from “limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies.”

But on Monday, D.H.S. took down that version of its terms and conditions and replaced it with a new document that does not mention Israeli boycotts. Tricia McLaughlin, a D.H.S. spokeswoman, also said on Monday that “there is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel.” …”

Officially, the policy was quickly walked back within hours.

As Saagar explains below, DHS is still reserving the right to do it to “fight antisemitism.” It doesn’t get more Israel First than putting the interests of mobs of violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank ahead of American taxpayers suffering from natural disasters in their own communities.

Note: Look at these lovely people in the X videos who share our “Western values.”

  1. Israhellis/jwz want to immediately stomp out all forms of boycotting, because the next logical step is to cut foreign aid to israhell. They will shrivel away without the boatloads of U.s. cash and arms

  2. ….reserving the right to do it to “fight antisemitism.”

    No such thing, Bedouin are the most Semitic people on earth and no one is against them.

    It’s being JEW AWARE !
    ….call it what it is !

  3. DAMN…DAMN…DAMN…

    Alex Linder has passed away…
    A truly dedicated and intelligent man.

    RIP Alex, you’ll be missed.

  4. How about if a region declines any FEMA or any other organizations’ assistance unless that entity has no ties to Israel, AIPAC, mega-rich pro-Israel individuals, etc?

    Just by accepting assistance from corrupt foreign bribery anti-America-First influences the area is being politically compromised.

    Maybe set up a go-fund-me Help-the-South account and let the help come from those with no foreign ties.

  5. Israeli settlers are blocking aid trucks carrying flour to starving families in Gaza.

    Remember DJT in the garbage truck videos last year?

    “Trump showed up at an event in Green Bay Wisconsin yesterday in a white garbage truck with his name emblazoned on the side.”

    Maybe DJT can redeem himself by driving one of those famine-relief trucks into Gaza and really blast the horn if someone tries to attack his truck or block the road and yell at them with some choice words. Maybe have his friend Netanyahu ride shotgun to give him some extra cred.

    That would win some award for sure, good or bad or both.

  6. These people are evil. Even the worst lies of the treatment of jews by the German Third Reich was like going to Disneyland compared to what the scummy jews are doing to these arabs. Come on Poland and Germany, it’s high time for a forensic audit of those “holocaust” sites, maybe some ground penetrating radar on the “mass graves”, to prove once and for all that it was all a massive lie, a fairytale to cover the allied bombing of German supply lines that starved some jews and advance the power of these literal nosferatu rat people after the 50’s and beyond.

  7. As the boomer generation passes away, I suspect that the following generations are not as pliant to the whims and demands of the pro-Israel crowd. Perhaps we are approaching the point to where pro-Israel or Israel First is political suicide?
