A Hebrew radio host claims the atrocious Louisiana floods are God’s punishment for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s demand to empower Palestine and end aid to Israel.
The ECLA approved the resolution last week at their General Assembly in New Orleans.
The resolution states:
To urge this church’s members, congregations, synods, agencies and presiding bishop to call on their U.S. Representatives, Senators and the Administration to take action requiring that, to continue receiving U.S. financial and military aid, Israel must comply with internationally recognized human rights standards as specified in existing U.S. law, stop settlement building and the expansion of existing settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, end its occupation of Palestinian territory, and enable an independent Palestinian state; and To encourage this church’s members, congregations, synods, and agencies to call on the U.S. President to recognize the State of Palestine and not prevent the application of the State of Palestine for full membership in the United Nations.
The resolution was released Aug. 10. The flooding began just days after.
“Folks are calling it ‘an act of God.’ I wonder what got Him stirred up? Connect those dots!” The Hebrew News radio host said.
The flood has displaced more than 86,000 people who are now asking for aid. The storm is the worst since Super Storm Sandy hit the East Coast in 2012, and the damage supersedes that of Hurricane Katrina.
The radio host says to understand why, all an observer must do is “connect the dots.”
