By Carl CampanileWith the balance of power in the
US Senate riding on two runoff
elections in Georgia, stinging com-
ments have resurfaced made about
Israel and Black Lives Matter by
one of the Democratic candidates,
the Rev. Raphael Warnock.
In a 2018 videotaped sermon, re-
ported by Jewish Insider and circu-
lating among conservative Jews,
Warnock, facing off against incum-
bent Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler
in the Jan. 5 runoff, blasted Israel
after a White House ceremony laud-
ing the relocation of the US Embassy
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“It’s been a tough week. The ad-
ministration opened up the US Em-
bassy in Jerusalem. Standing there
[were] the president’s family and a
few mealy-mouthed evangelical
preachers who are responsible forthe mess that we found ourselves in,
both there and here — misquoting
and misinterpreting the Scripture,
talking about peace,” he said.
“Meanwhile, young Palestinian
sisters and brothers, who are strug-
gling for their very lives, struggling
for water and struggling for their
human dignity, stood up in a nonvi-
olent protest, saying, ‘If we’re going
to die, we’re going to die strug-
gling.’ ”
Warnock went on to compare the
struggle of Palestinians with the
Black Lives Matter movement.
“Yes, there may have been some
folk who were violent, but we
oughta know how that works out,”
Warnock said. “We know what it’s
like to stand up and have a peaceful
demonstration and have the media
focus on a few violent uprisings.
But you have to look at those Pales-
tinian sisters and brothers, who arestruggling for their human dignity.
And they have a right to self-deter-
mination. They have a right to
breathe free...
“We saw the government of Is-
rael shoot down unarmed Palestin-
ian sisters and brothers like birds
of prey. And I don’t care who does
it, it is wrong. It is wrong to shoot
down God’s children like they
don’t matter at all. And it’s no more
anti-Semitic for me to say that than
it is anti-white for me to say thatblack lives matter. Palestinian lives
matter.”
A Warnock campaign spokesper-
son told Jewish Insider, “It is clear
that our opponent is going through
thousands of hours of footage try-
ing to find a way to misrepresent
who Reverend Warnock is and
scare Georgians.
“But that does not change the fact
that Reverend Warnock is a staunch
ally and supporter of Israel and the
Jewish community in our state.”‘bIRDs Of PRey’

Mexican authorities ar-
rested the first military offi-
cer in connection with the
investigation into the 2014
disappearance of 43 stu-
dents from a teachers col-
lege in southern Mexico.
A federal official who re-
quested anonymity because
he was not authorized to
speak about the matter con-
firmed on Friday that Capt.
José Martínez Crespo had
been arrested.
On the sixth anniversary
of the students’ disappear-
ance in September, Mex-
ico’s attorney general said
that 25 arrest orders had
been issued for suspects in
the case, among them sol-
diers and federal police.
On Sept. 26, 2014, police
in the town of Iguala at-
tacked several buses that
had been taken by students
from the Rural Normal
School of Ayotzinapa. The
police are believed to have
turned over the students to
a local drug cartel.
Families of the missing
students have long de-
manded that authorities in-
vestigate the possible in-
volvement of the military
and federal police.
Clemente Rodriguez, fa-
ther of student Christian
Alonso, who was identified
earlier this year through
DNA testing of bone frag-
ments, said the arrest “is very
important for me.” AP

German prosecutors have
charged 12 men with plotting
well-funded armed attacks
on mosques in which they
planned to kill or injure as
many Muslims as possible,
authorities said on Friday.
“They aimed through at-
tacks on mosques and the
killing and wounding of as
many Muslims as possible
to create civil war-like con-
ditions,” prosecutors said in
a statement.
Prosecutors said the sus-
pects, 11 gang members and
one accomplice, had met
regularly to plan, with all
but one of them pledging to
contribute thousands to-
ward a $60,000 pot to
finance the purchaseof weapons.
The suspects, aged be-
tween 31 and 61, are all Ger-
mans and all but one has
been detained. The 12th is
still at large, prosecutors in
the southeastern city of
Stuttgart said.
Another suspect had died
while in custody. A prosecu-
tion official said he had killed
himself and that there was
nothing to indicate foul play.
The official said cash
sums in the “mid four-digit
range” had been found in
suspects’ houses.
Germany has experienced a
spate of right-wing attacks in
recent years directed at mi-
norities and those perceived
to support them. Reuters12 Germans in plot
