This Texas town offers hurricane relief if your politics are right

The city of Dickinson, Tex., located about 30 miles southeast of Houston, recently posted applications online for relief grants “from the funds that were generously donated to the Dickinson Harvey Relief Fund,” the city’s website says. The application, however, includes a provision requiring applicants to promise not to boycott Israel.

really and honestly believe God will punish everyone unless everyone "supports" Israel. Seriously, that's not a joke. Someone is trying to protect the town from being on the receiving end of (more of) God's wrath. I'm guessing here, but this is so far out that I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's aimed at a particular person, who is known locally for opposition to Israel's policies.

to deny Americans their right for the sole benefit of a foreign state? When will Russia be added to the list countries that have more rights than American citizens?
