Israeli Flag Flies in Texas
By Trevor LaBonte —
AUSTIN, Texas—“Blessed are you, Lord God, Creator of the Universe. You have supplied us all that we need for life and productivity. I pray that you will bless Israel, especially in oil productivity. Father, I ask that you will lead the engineers to find the riches of the world hidden deep beneath the surface of the Earth. May all those involved have ears to hear your voice as you lead them to the vast oil fields in Israel. In Jesus name I pray, amen.” So go the words of Texas state representative and “Christian Zionist” Molly Suzanne White, on the Zion Oil and Gas Facebook page in 2014.
Why did Representative White feel the need to ask God to bless an Israeli company? According to financial disclosure reports, she is also an investor in the Israeli company. This is the same Texas state representative who was recently caught up in considerable controversy when she decided to place an Israeli flag on the reception desk in the entrance of her state office.
“Today is Texas Muslim Capital day [sic] in Austin,” White explained in a statement on the Internet. “The House is in recess until Monday. Most members including myself are back in district. I did leave an Israeli flag on the reception desk in my office with instructions to staff to ask representatives from the Muslim community to renounce Islamic terrorist groups and publicly announce allegiance to America and our laws. We will see how long they stay in my office.”
