@LukeBennerE @JoelWebbon @JeremyDBoreing One side chants mean things. The other side murders 60 thousand women and children with a 9 to 1 civilian kill ratio, carpet bombs residential neighborhoods, and shoots kids in a barrel for three years. These are not the same.

Hi @JeremyDBoreing. Thanks for responding. 

First, you’re asking for a smoking gun, but I’m afraid you’ve missed the point. We stated twice, “We can’t prove it.” After all two people who both cut their teeth working for the same Israel-centered think-tank and later in the same company, both equally loyal and committed to the same foreign nation are bound to be great minds who think alike. How could you even prove such a thing, besides an admission? But wha NXR provided is enough to demonstrate a refutation of your monologue - that alleges Israel isn’t influencing the American political system - when it’s indistinguishable from that produced by an honest-to-God Israeli influence operation like the Horowitz Institute. 

And that’s the problem, and our whole point, that what you produced contains the same talking points, arguments, figures, insults, and final warning in its conclusion that was published by an Israel-First think-tank. We only saw the striking similarity because in preparing to provide a point-by-point refutation of your “If you criticize Israel, you’re evil” monologue, we already had. 

So far as receipts go, the quotation mentioned in which you shared the same Dispensational Zionist sentiments as Ambassador Huckabee that Israel has a divine right to land far outside its current borders (despite living under the New Covenant) you stated, “I believe that God gave the land to the Jews as an eternal inheritance,” followed by the same stammering qualifiers that Huckabee deployed, but which serves as the foundational introductory claim to your foreign policy perspective. You know, the same tacit denial that Galatians 3 very explicitly says the aforementioned Covenant is not given to Jews, but that the heirs of the Abrahamic Promise are the followers of Christ exclusively, who are the real Children of Abraham. We’re speaking of your agreement with Huckabee’s tired canard that God has promised modern Jews the keys to a desert trailer park, irrespective of their rejection of Christ. 

The “simple facts” that you refuse to acknowledge are lengthy, and we’ve already gone through them in our article at great detail. There was a bullet list. You know, Jeremy, basic stuff like the fact that Kennedy demanded the American Zionist Council register for FARA back in 1962, at which point it dissolved, and then relaunched under the name AIPAC to avoid the law. Or that AIPAC and the entire American Israel lobby meet with Netanyahu - in person, in Israel - every year, in which he coordinates their messaging and lobbying activities, and does this on video, despite FARA requiring registration if a lobbying organization lobbies “on behalf of or in coordination with” a foreign state. Or, the 145 million spent by Israel through Project 545 to manipulate our AI and search results (most of it targeting Americans), or the hundred-plus million spent in “public diplomacy” for American religious interference in our churches, ranging from microtargeting and geofencing us, to paying for Potemkin propaganda Pilgrimages, to contracting with a Salem Radio executive to target evangelicals. You treated AIPAC as the only measurable effort of Israel to impact the American political system. You avoided everything else.

You’re also taking AIPAC’s rank among foreign lobbies by FARA funding figures, ignoring the fact that Israel is completely circumventing FARA with the bulk of it’s giving, money you aren’t counting like Israel’s PAC and Super PAC money, or the rest of the pro-Israel PAC ecosystem that aren’t FARA registered. When the “domestic” Israel lobby met with Netanyahu only a few months ago, there were FIFTY in attendance, taking orders. AIPAC is only ONE of them. Or, as our article stated, Israel’s own Justice Ministry in leaked documents show their intentional coordination mechanisms to dump money into our political system by avoiding FARA altogether. I’ll add a few more answers below (and I’ll also repost our original article) 👇

Is this AI generated? I thought I had heard this guy talk before, but maybe not. I know it only makes Joel's day if I respond, but gotta get them clicks, so here goes: • Obviously Josh Hammer, who hates me and has been publicly critical of me for years, did not hand me a script. We do see the Israel issue quite similarly though. • I haven't worked for the DHFC in over a decade and haven't spoken to anyone there, that I can recall anyway, since bumping into Mike Finch at a funeral a few months ago. It was a Jewish Funeral, though, so go to town! • They certainly didn't write my script. • I said what on November 21, 2023? Please provide citation. • What simple factual claim do I refuse to engage? Please provide citation. • I have never said defending Israel is "the defining moral test of western civilization." Please provide citation. • I never said "America First means we have to put Israel atop our national priorities." Please provide citation. • I did not ignore Israeli money spent under FARA. I clearly said they have spent $188M the last decade, making them the tenth largest foreign lobby behind countries like Communist China and, strangely, the Marshal Islands. • "That's an awful lot of coincidences" is a funny thing to say when you have not established any relevant coincidences. • I have never worked for "the Israeli Lobby Network." Please provide citation. • "...by every available measure..." is hyperbolic and dishonest. What measures are available? All you offer here is assertion, misrepresentation, and paraphrase. In fact, you do not even avail yourself of direct quotes, much less textual analysis. Those would have made your video far more compelling. • "...word for word..." Please provide citation. • "...move by move..." Please provide citation. • I have not spent "Fifteen years inside pro-Israel institutions." I spent one year at DHFC, and then built a media company that did a billion dollars of revenue in ten years. Don't get me wrong, it was broadly pro-Israel. It was broadly pro-Israel because my partners and I are broadly pro-Israel. It did not "shape" me. I shaped it. • I can certainly "articulate a personal and independent view on Israel that is my own." It goes like this: Taxes are too high, bread is too good, military and intelligence are bad ass, has no inherent right to close the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, is America's best ally in the region and maybe in the world, is an essential part of the West, is filled with good people and bad people, hard to find a good cheeseburger. • The Jeremy's Razor bit is pretty funny.

Why do they have to be Gnostic? I feel like the plain reading is that the 'Day of the Lord' that Paul refers to there is to His glorious appearance. At least, the FullPreterist is fully on board with that position. The partial needs to show that the Olivet Discourse quoting AoD has past but 2 thessalonians AoD has not past. To me, it simply reads as Paul rebuking a preterist position. If they think that moving the date 30 years saves the idea... 🤷‍🤦

@Joel7Richardson You new video is totally faulty. Preterism existed in the early first century. 2 Thessalonians 2:2 is pretty clear.

@1984_nate Do you mean 'total depravity' when you say 'original sin'? I can't interpret whether or not there is implied exegesis in that statement. I find it hard to understand the notion of 'where sin comes from' as not a foundational issue.

I didn’t say PSA and original sin were stupid takes. I said that claiming they are foundational to the gospel is a stupid take. Does Alton do what he does out of sheer ignorance or is he seriously just this dishonest?
Alton T. Johnson@AL_J82

@Acolyte83349490 @1984_nate Let's not divert. Show me where penal substitutionary atonement and original sin are "stupid takes".

Read the book of Acts. Unless you think scripture isn’t Historical Documentation “As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek? Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?”” Acts 21:37-38 ESV bible.com/bible/59/act.2… “And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered.” Acts 5:35-37 ESV bible.com/bible/59/act.5… “But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called Great.”” Acts 8:9-10 ESV bible.com/bible/59/act.8… “When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.” Acts 13:6 ESV bible.com/bible/59/act.1…

Once again, preterism fails miserably because they claim that Jesus prophecy in Matthew 24:5 “For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many” was fulfilled between AD 33 and AD 70. There is zero historical documentation during this period for Matt 24:5, which is why Preterism ASSERTS this and does not support it with evidence.

This describes the saints? Ezekiel 46:13-14 NIV [13] “ ‘Every day you are to provide a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord; morning by morning you shall provide it. [14] You are also to provide with it morning by morning a grain offering, consisting of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the flour. The presenting of this grain offering to the Lord is a lasting ordinance.

@gospel4grace @Truth_matters20 Acts 5:9 NIV [9] Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out the door. 'Test' is extremely strong language for unfaithfulness.

@aigkenham Belief in premil eschatology is also a biblical authority issue. How do you let people call Revelation 'Apocalyptic literature' as a way to reduce it's authority while standing firm on Creation?
