Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) is preparing for a hotly-contested election for the U.S. Senate in Georgia against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler after none of the candidates received more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff.

While much of the media’s focus remained on GOP infighting, Warnock’s more extreme positions seemingly went ignored, including his decision last year to sign a letter comparing Israel’s control of the West Bank to apartheid South Africa.

Fox News’ Morgan Phillips reports:

The letter was written by a group of faith leaders from historically African American and South African churches, all of whom had just taken a trip to Israel in Spring 2019. Warnock was among the group who signed the letter. 

The letter suggests that the group while visiting occupied territory witnessed: “The ever-present physical walls that wall in Palestinians in a political wall reminiscent of the Berlin Wall,” along with “The heavy militarization of the West Bank, reminiscent of the military occupation of Namibia by apartheid South Africa.”

During World War I, South Africa launched a military campaign and occupied the German colony of South West Africa, current day Namibia. In 1988, after decades of extreme international pressure, South Africa signed an agreement at the United Nations headquarters to relinquish Namibia. 

The group said they had witnessed both Jewish and Palestinian perspectives. Still, they said they were shocked at the “unstoppable gobbling up of Palestinian lands to almost render the proposed two-state solution unworkable.”

Sen. Loeffler split the Republican vote with Republican Rep. Doug Collins. After conceding the race, Collins vowed to support Loeffler in the coming race, which could decide whether Republicans or Democrats control the Senate.

  1. dear PASTOR Warnock:

    just to REMIND YOU…. WE WILL BE WATCHING… and LISTENING!

    The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
    
    1“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.

    2“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

    3“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

    4“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

    5“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

    6“You shall not murder.7“You shall not commit adultery.

    8“You shall not steal.9“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

    10“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

    it seems that EVERY OTHER LEFTISTS ‘reverend’ that entered politics forgot all about their promises to GOD.
    AND TO THE PEOPLE!

    1. The Democrats removed God from their platform, were against Israel and Biden said Christian should be labeled Terrest , not her will change and deny it

    1. These people that vote for Biden and the bunch are too stupid to realize that their shooting their own selves in the head. It will come back to bite them if the dem get the president, Sen, and the house. Playing with the rattle snake will get you bitten. Trump the man.

  2. Rev. Raphael Warnock studied at Union Theological Seminary in NYC!! You will find James cone attended too. Get his book “A Black Liberation Theology” in which (early editions for sure) he taught blacks SHOULD kill whites for mistreatment of blacks> Nothing said about africans who actually captured black for selling to slave traders though. Believe you will also find connections to the EXTREME racist minister at church Obama attended for many years until someone asked about Jeremiah Wright’s theology and Obama left and claimed not to ever have picked up on Wrights racism for over 20 years. Union Theological Seminary is VERY VERY anti christian and RACIST!
