California’s upcoming primary elections could deliver radical Congressmuslim Ilhan Omar (D-MN) an unlikely pro-Islamic terrorism foreign policy ally – Republican Greg Raths – who last week said the “Jewish community” uses money to “control U.S. policy makers.”
Washington Free Beacon (h/t Marvin W) Raths, who is running against Republican congresswoman Young Kim in California’s 40th Congressional District, also called to “rein in” U.S. foreign aid to Israel, a position he said he is able to support because he hasn’t taken “one dime” from those Jews.
Raths’s comments echo those of Omar, who in 2019 said U.S. support for Israel is “all about the Benjamins baby,” a reference to $100 bills bearing Benjamin Franklin’s face.
Both Mr. Raths and Ilhan Omar now share the distinct dishonor of suggesting that Jewish Americans buy political influence—a well-known, age-old anti-Semitic stereotype,” Markstein told the Washington Free Beacon. “It is disgusting, appalling, and has absolutely no place in the GOP.”
Rath’s decision to appear at a Muslim-sponsored candidate forum is a curious one for a Republican congressional hopeful. The Orange County Islamic Foundation’s leader, Sheikh Tarik Ata, has called Israel a “Nazi-like, apartheid, racist, aggressive, tyrannical, vicious, child-killing Zionist entity.
In addition to his call to reduce U.S. aid to Israel, Raths also endorsed sending American aid dollars to the Palestinian Authority, a policy the Biden administration resumed in 2021. During that year, the United States sent the Palestinian Authority more than $360 million even as it funnels hundreds of millions to terrorists and their families.
The Trump administration terminated U.S. aid to the Palestinians over those terror payments, which are part of the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-to-slay” program.

Can we assume that Raths, which is a German surname, may be descended from third Reich Nazis? He is spewing the same rhetoric, no doubt learned at his parents knees. Several Nazis escaped to Egypt and converted to pisslame.

Very possible.

The top 64 innovations developed in Israel
April 22, 2012
To celebrate Israel’s 64th birthday, ISRAEL21c brings you the country’s top 64 innovations — developments that are transforming and enriching lives across the planet.
When Israel was founded 64 years ago, it was a barren country with no natural resources, little water, and more than half of its land mass desert. The only thing the new country had going for it was the natural creativity of its people.
More than six decades later, the Israelis have turned their country into an oasis of technology and innovation.
With the most startups per capita worldwide, and the third highest number of patents per head, Israel has become one of the leading players in the world of high-tech innovation, attracting international giants to its shores.
From health breakthroughs to technology, agriculture, the environment and the arts, the country’s innovations are transforming and enriching lives everywhere. Israel today is playing a significant role in some of the most important challenges facing our planet…….

Greg Raths: How many mega Dollars $$$$$$$$ are you paid by Muslims to BETRAY America and Israel?
You despicable Deceiver. You are no Republican. Join your fellow Democrats in the Far Left anti-American Democrat Party.
You are a Democrat dressed up in Republican clothing.
BLR says
anybody can be a republican to be a Conservative now you are getting into holy grail territory where there be dragons fired by truth and honesty and love of their home land and with a will of iron to defend to the end , you don’t fit in your lifestyle to that standard be a useful idiot of any malcontent political

RINOs are not Republicans.
Jack Rider says
WTF. So sad that this anti-Semitic/judeophobic bigotry is clearly still around. Painful it is manifest in Republican candidates. If the guy said it just to appease a muslim audience or raise money from muslim donors while spreading falsehoods then he has no moral principles. The California GOP should itself raise a ruckus over his BS. The Dem controlled Congress (House of Reps) just authorized $45Billion to Ukraine that is essentially without oversight and which may extend its war with Russia and provoke the use of tactical nuclear weapons, yet this Rino complains about the money influence of “the Jewish community.” The true reason he did not take money “from the Jews” is because no Jewish donors sent him any! They intuitively know he is an unprincipled idiot and bigot.

Imagine a country that hands Millions of US$ to its enemy… To the PA and other savages,in Kabul, and others
Go figure…
The muslims around the World sure are having a great laugh as they spit in the face of the infidel while stabbing him in the back and forcing him to thank them for these actions…
ANY US Government needs to stop sending money to anybody anywhere for any reason and start using it to help Americans in need, after all Europeans rebuilt Europe after the destruction of WW2, with some help from the Marshal Plan, but basically by working hard.. I know thats a racist concept, hard work, self reliance, helping your next door neighbor, protecting your traditions and culture, but thats what Europeans did, from Italy to Sweden, from Scotland to Greece.
How come Africans cant do that, how come muslims in Gaza etc cant do that?.

Test small Neutron bombs on ‘palestinian authority’. Stop senile Biden from sending U.S.$s to them !
DavidW says
If he was complaining about undue influence from many organizations/countries I wouldn’t have a problem. But to single out Israel, and in front of Muslims, is the definition of pure pandering (as well as anti-Semitism).
Peter35 says
By now, after about 40-50 years of moslems invading the west, and treating us to some of their delightful (and often fatal) customs, surely it’s about time for the Republicans to rid their party of the many RINOS bringing shame on the G.O.P.
