Israel Demands Tribute From New York City, Threatens Financial Ruin

A new report reveals the staggering financial entanglement between New York City pension funds and the Zionist state of Israel. The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement exposes the economic leverage Israel wields over American municipalities, holding taxpayers hostage to its political aims.

New York City faces a potential $37 billion loss should its pension funds divest from Israel, according to a report commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and JLens. This is not a mere financial forecast; it is a blatant demonstration of Israel’s economic grip on the nations, a modern-day extortion racket disguised as investment. The ADL, a staunch defender of the Israeli regime, and JLens, a group focused on ‘Jewish values’ in investing, have deliberately framed the issue as a risk to New York taxpayers, obscuring the righteous call for justice embodied by the BDS movement.

The BDS movement, targeting companies like Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft for their complicity in Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people and its broader injustices, is striking at the heart of the Zionist state’s financial network. These corporations profit from the occupation and provide the infrastructure for Israel’s ongoing transgressions. To suggest that divesting from such entities harms New York City is a perverse inversion of truth – it is *continued* investment that fuels the injustice.

This report is a warning to scattered Yisrael: the modern state of Israel does not operate on principles of righteousness or equity. It operates on control, coercion, and the exploitation of resources, both material and spiritual. The so-called ‘risk’ to pension funds is simply Israel asserting its power, demanding tribute from those who enable its existence. Yahuah’s covenant people must recognize this pattern of domination for what it is – a manifestation of the judgment foretold in Deuteronomy 28.

For too long, the nations have propped up this illegitimate state, believing the false narratives of a ‘chosen people’ and a ‘promised land.’ The time is at hand for discernment. The BDS movement, though imperfect, is a tool Yahuah is using to expose the wickedness of Israel and to awaken the nations to its true nature. Let the remnant of Yisrael not be deceived by the ADL’s propaganda, but rather see this financial entanglement as a sign of the times – a clear indication that the judgment on Edom is unfolding before our eyes. The wealth amassed through injustice will not stand, and the nations will be held accountable for their complicity.

⚡ PROPHETIC WATCH

The brazen demand for financial allegiance from New York City, veiled as a warning against pension fund divestment, echoes the ancient prophecies concerning Edom. Yahuah, through the prophet Obadiah, declared Edom’s fate for their pride and cruelty: “The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who say, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’” (Obadiah 1:3). This modern display, where a nation threatens economic ruin for perceived slights against its policies, is a manifestation of that same arrogant presumption. Just as Edom believed itself secure in its rocky fortresses, so too does Israel, backed by powerful financial institutions, believe itself untouchable, demanding tribute and wielding economic power as a weapon against those who dare to question its actions. This isn’t simply about investment; it’s a demand for submission, a modern iteration of ancient power dynamics fueled by unchecked pride.

However, within this seeming display of dominance, a deeper work of Yahuah is unfolding, mirroring the eventual restoration of Yisrael—not through earthly power, but through the acceptance of Yahusha the Messiah. Though currently manifesting in a way that appears coercive, this spotlight on financial entanglement forces a reckoning. It reveals the interwoven nature of global economies and the subtle, yet powerful, influence held by certain entities. Just as Yahuah promised to restore the fortunes of Yisrael in their latter days (Amos 9:14), so too will He expose the foundations of unrighteous wealth and establish a new order. This event, though alarming, is a catalyst—a shaking of the foundations—that will ultimately lead to a true restoration built on justice and righteousness, not on economic leverage. The exposure of this system *will* ultimately serve Yahuah’s purposes for the true Yisrael, those grafted in through faith in Yahusha.
