The senator gave the keynote speech at the PNBC\u2019s annual conference last year, where it passed a resolution accusing Israel of &#8220;apartheid&#8221; and &#8220;ethnic cleansing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Warnock\u2019s affiliation with the PNBC comes nearly two years after he faced criticism from the Jewish community for signing on to a statement, published by the same organization, that compared Israel to apartheid South Africa. In response to the controversy, Warnock\u2019s campaign said he supported the U.S.-Israel relationship and &#8220;opposes ending direct military aid to such a strong ally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite Warnock&#8217;s own history of anti-Israel statements, such as accusing Israel of shooting unarmed Palestinians &#8220;like birds of prey,&#8221; he pivoted on the campaign trail in 2020 and positioned himself as a supporter of the Jewish state. But his church\u2019s ongoing membership in the PNBC\u2014and Warnock\u2019s decision to headline its annual gathering last year\u2014could reignite questions about his views.<\/p>\n<p>Danielle Repass, the press secretary for the Georgia Republican Party, told the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> that Warnock\u2019s involvement with the group is in line with his &#8220;relentless history of anti-Israel speech.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time and time again, Raphael Warnock proves that he is irreconcilably out of touch with Georgians,&#8221; said Repass.<\/p>\n<p>Warnock served as the PNBC\u2019s social justice committee chairman until 2018, according to the group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnbc.org\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/10\/progressive_2018-06.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newsletter<\/a>. The organization has been pushing the U.S. government to cut off military aid to Israel since at least 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The PNBC took an even stronger stance at its annual conference that featured Warnock last year, issuing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnbc.org\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pnbc-resolutions-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resolution<\/a> that slammed &#8220;Israel\u2019s long and violent history of ethnic cleansing throughout all of Palestine&#8221; and called for &#8220;recognizing the reality that the Israel is an apartheid state, that practices separate-but-unequal treatment of Palestinians and denies Palestinian human rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore be it resolved that the Progressive National Baptist Convention Inc. calls for an immediate end to all U.S. military funding to Israel,&#8221; said the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Democratic senator Raphael Warnock\u2019s church, where he serves as senior pastor and CEO, belongs to a coalition of far-left congregations that is calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.<br \/>\nThe post Warnock\u2019s Church Belongs to Coalition That Wants to End Military Aid to Israel appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":1742352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1742349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/120"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1742349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1742352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1742349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1742349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1742349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
