House candidate Maureen Galindo pledges to send ‘American zionists’ to internment camp
Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.”
“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”
Galindo’s latest set of inflammatory remarks comes as the Democratic hopeful for Texas’ newly redrawn 35th Congressional District continues to draw national attention for remarks critics have called antisemitic and untethered from reality. The controversy is snowballing as she heads into the May 26 Democratic primary runoff.
Over the past week, Galindo has accused her runoff opponent — former Bexar County Public Information Officer Johnny Garcia — of participating in a human trafficking conspiracy orchestrated by billionaire zionist Jews. She also pledged during a Texas Public Radio interview to put Garcia on trial for treason.
Beyond her attacks on Garcia, Galindo has continued to promote the narrative that a cabal of Jewish zionists controls Hollywood, the media and even local politicians.
Even so, in comments to the Current and other media outlets, Galindo maintained she only has an issue with zionists, or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland, rather than Jews in general.
“I think it’s actually the zionists who are putting Jewish people at the most risk,” Galindo told the Current last week.
AOC has denouced her
My big issue is the term “Jewish zionists”, completely ignoring that a huge proportion of the zionists – including those in israel – are Christians.
It’s billionaires, zionists, capitalists.
There are a lot of anti-zionists jews, that is not the common denominator, it is nationalism and money.
Where id you see the mention of Jewish zionists
Did she say that or did the article add the Jewish part
That’s a great question, I haven’t been following her so I really do not fully know where she stands, but I do think tracing where her funding comes from tells us a lot about intentions, whether it’s her intentions or just the funders, idk.
Based on the quotes around American zionists, I feel pretty strongly that the article added it
I wouldn’t be surprised!
Lol
Zionism is incompatible with the Faith
I know Catholics ignore the old testament, but even the POPE? God LOVES genocide.
it has been fulfilled by our Lord.
Back then, sin had a price because it had not yet been paid
now, it has been paid for by our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Sin has a price for who?
“remember when we brutally tortured that guy who tried spreading Buddhist ideals and telling people to love each other? Well since we tortured and killed him for his beliefs, all sin is gone, actually.”
Most of the things evangelicals do is incompatible with the faith.
Well yeah they’re a death cult. They literally think their mission on earth is to bring about end times by any means necessary.
It is also incompatible with the Jewish faith. Look at what those orthodox jews in New York are saying. We are a disaspora and a big part of the Jewish identity is being an exiled people.
We do not have a divine right to any land.
That’s Catholicism, one sect among many in Christianity. The above poster is really referring to Apocalyptic Christians, those who believe they’re living in the End Times prophesied in the Revelation. They support Israel because they believe it’s a necessary step in ushering in the end of the world. They think they’re following God’s plan. They seem to have missed the part of that book where all the Antichrist’s supporters are slaughtered wholesale in the final battle and irrevocably damned.
I believe there are some people like that, but I think the vast vast majority of “christians” in support of zionism do it for reasons completely disconnected from their faith. I think it has more to do with toeing the conservative party line at best, and just white supremacy at worst.
One might suggest that the reason I gave is the belief they espouse because it validates and enables their conservative, bigoted beliefs.
“Do as I say, then find some bible passage to justify it later. Whichever one, just do as I say.”
