Israel Law Center behind harassment of flotilla funded by homophobic End Timer Pastor John Hageeby Max Blumenthal on June 27, 2011 http://mondoweiss.net/2011/06/israel-law-center-behind-harassment-of-flotilla-funded-by-homophobic-end-timer-pastor-john-hagee.html Pastor John Hagee is a major financial supporter of Shurat Hadin, the Israel Law Center behind the legal campaign against the Gaza Freedom FlotillaOn June 24, Joseph Dana, a journalist who will traveling aboard the US boat to Gaza, discovered that an anonymous private legal complaint had been filed against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. The complaint alleged that US boat, "The Audacity of Hope," was not sea worthy and therefore was unfit to sail. In response, the harbor master in Athens, Greece, where the boat was docked, told the crew that he could not allow them to leave until the complaint was resolved. Two days later, the Israel Law Center, Shurat Hadin, accepted responsibility for the complaint, which was essentially a baseless but startlingly successful exercise in legal harassment. Who is Shurat Hadin, and what is their agenda? According to the group's website, Shurat Hadin is a Tel Aviv-based law center that specializes in lawsuits against "terrorists." Its founder, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, describes herself in her bio as a "human rights activist." Darshan-Leitner began her harassment of the US boat to Gaza began weeks ago when it filed a civil action against "perceived supporters of Hamas" on behalf of Alan Bauer, an American doctor who was injured along with his son in a 2002 Jerusalem bombing attack. The action also threatened maritime insurance companies with legal consequences if they insured any of the boats involved in the flotilla. I have discovered that a major donor to Shurat Hadin is the homophobic far-right Pastor John Hagee. In March 2010, I reported that Hagee appeared beside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a major rally in Jerusalem to denounce the two state solution and announce the financial contributions he and his supporters were making to Israeli organizations. Among the organizations Hagee said he had bankrolled was Shurat Hadin. Who Is Hagee Funding In Israel? from Max Blumenthal on Vimeo. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Republican Senator John McCain repudiated Hagee's endorsement as soon as Hagee's statements describing the Holocaust as a fulfillment of divine prophecy came to light. Hagee has also asserted his belief that the anti-Christ was "partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler." As the researcher and reporter Bruce Wilson has documented, Hagee preaches that the Jewish Rothschild family controls the US economy through the Federal Reserve and conspires to attack the American middle class by devaluing the dollar. In his 2006 book Jerusalem Countdown, Hagee claimed that a lineage of "half-breed Jews," descended from Esau and which included Adolf Hitler, have persecuted full-blooded Jews throughout history. Hagee prophesied that God intended to exterminate that "half-breed Jew" line. These statements — and countless more demonizing gays, Muslims, and anyone else Hagee deems to be allied with "the Enemy" – have been widely reported. However, nothing Hagee says or does seems to deter the "human rights activist" Darshan-Leitner and Shurat Hadin from embracing him and benefiting from his riches.
