McClean Co. (ECWd)
A resident of Blooming Township circulated the needed 15 signatures required to hold a special Township meeting of the electors. The purpose was to have the electors vote on what we see as a clear anti-Israel ballot question.
“Shall the United States federal government and subordinate divisions stop giving military funding to Israel, which currently costs taxpayers 3.8 billion dollars a year, given Israel’s global recognition as an apartheid regime with a track record of human rights violations?”
After the election of a moderator to conduct the meeting, both proponents and opponents of the matter were given three minutes each to speak.
Once the hearing portion of the meeting was concluded a vote was taken and the matter was voted down 88/28.
After it was voted down most of the supporters of it walked out before the public comment portion of the meeting began.
We agree with voting this matter down as the Township Government has no powers granted that have anything to do with funding to our allies.
This same process was attempted in other townships across the state and appeared to be more about using a Township Code provision to get attention rather than addressing a policy consideration within township government powers.
The entire meeting video is below but is set to begin with public comment. The first public commenter was a student from ISU.

Posted at 07:46h, 16 MayPeople hate Israel because they hate Jesus. Jesus was Jewish. God says, I will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse her, and also, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I will prosper those who love her. Pretty straight forward there.

Posted at 10:30h, 16 MayI’m not a lefty or an ‘antisemite’ (whatever that is these days), but we are being ruled by many corrupt dual citizens , primarily Israeli, who have been undermining our culture and institutions for decades. The control these people have attained over the past 100+ years will shock many as the age of information catches up with the BS. You guys do great work. Thank you.

Posted at 07:53h, 18 MayThe Israel you are talking about in today’s world is not the Israel of the Bible. Zionists Jews are not religious Jewish people.. They are thugs who lead the USA (and the world) around by the nose and give Jewish people a bad rap.

Posted at 17:12h, 26 MayJesus was NOT Jewish; as the proclaimed son of God he was/is of Devine origin thus above ethnic divisions. Btw, Israel is NOT a democracy and definitely NOT an ally of the USA. We should stop sending money to our enemies; they use it to undermine our culture, our traditions, our civilization. I’m glad this matter was brought in the city council, it’s OK it was as expected voted down. The philo-semites will hide behind technicalities to shut down legitimate citizens’ voices concerned that our lives, our communities, our society has been usurped by the Synagogue of Satan. The word anti-semite is a misnomer and, essentially, means absolutely nothing at all! If they “sling” it at you it is because they have no valid arguments to present. The end is near, soon we will be free again!
