What makes this lie so particularly absurd and outrageous is that Israel protects all religious sites including Al Aqsa Mosque from Ir@n and her proxies' bombs. Al Aqsa Mosque falls under Israel’s layered national air-defense and 1)
security system plus heavy ground security around the site. These systems include: the Iron Dome, the Iron Beam, the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3, its air force and radar network, and its ground security around the site. Praying for Moshiach and the coming Third Temple and
2)
preparing for that time does not mean that Jews are engaging in the destruction of the Mosque. If that were the goal, the Mosque could have been destroyed any time since the reestablishment of the State of Israel and obviously, it has not.

But, the fact is that any such law would both be vetoed by the President and be unconstitutional.
Why should this worry Americans?
1)
1. Because we are seeing congressmen and senators, most of whom are lawyers, advocating a law that violates the Constitution. One might hope that lawyers would know the law and follow the law, and when they do not, one must question their knowledge and expertise.
2)
Perhaps they should be suspended from law practice if they do not understand the Constitution to which they swore their loyalty in an oath.

@Pimpernell13 @BannedNotice @Shem_Infinite Remember, President Trump knows what we know. Tucker was just embarrassed by Qatar.

“The United States didn’t make this decision. Netanyahu did.”
Except President Trump said the opposite:
“If anything I forced Israel’s hand.”

@Pimpernell13 @BannedNotice @Shem_Infinite @DanzigMD So Carlson’s central narrative — that Israel dragged the United States into war — was contradicted by the President of the United States himself.
Now is a good time to learn American history if you were not taught it and if you are not old enough to remember that in 1979 Iran took American hostages. It was why Jimmy Carter lost the election to President Ronald Reagan. My family was glued to Nightline. 1)
The Iran Hostage Crisis began on November 4, 1979
when Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 53 Americans hostage—later reduced to 52 after some were released. The crisis lasted 444 days, ending on Jan 20, 1981, just after Ronald Reagan's inauguration.

President Trump never forgot that Iran never paid a price for this nor for any of our service people & civilians they killed themselves or through their terrorist proxies ever since. They still say, "Death to America" & call America the "Big Devil"...

Some in the US Congress are upset that Spain and the UK have barred use of US facilities in the conflict with Iran., The French and the Germans have been very cool to the US policy.
1)
I should not blame all of Europe, but this reminds me of October 1973.
At that time, Arab Armies attacked Israel, and frankly, Israel was fast running out of ammunition and equipment. President Nixon decided to resupply Israel rather than let Israel be defeated and

all its people killed (including me, my wife and my son).
But Europe, closed its airspace to the US military. It even grounded American aircraft in Germany, Spain and Italy, preventing the USA from resupplying Israel from US bases in Europe. 3)
