Gov. Noem Recognizes the 75th Anniversary of the State of Israel

PIERRE, S.D. – Today, Governor Kristi Noem recognized the 75th anniversary of the state of Israel. The proclamation can be found here.

Genesis 12: 1-3 tells us that Israel has been granted her lands by a promise made by God to Abraham. Throughout the last four thousand years, the Jewish people have held a constant claim and presence in Israel. And in 1948, the people of Israel declared their independence with the goal of reestablishing it as the homeland for the Jewish people.

“The promise of the God of Israel is that God will bless those that bless Israel,” said Governor Noem, “and let it be known that the State of South Dakota openly blesses Israel with gratitude for our cordial and mutually beneficial relations since 1948.”

Over the last 75 years, Israel has rebuilt itself. The nation has developed an advanced economy, a thriving tech industry, and a democratic political system. Their government also recognizes the God-given Freedoms of speech, association, religion, and press.

“The State of Israel and the United States maintain a very close relationship born of shared democratic values and moral beliefs,” Governor Noem continued. “Both the United States and South Dakota regard Israel as a trusted ally. We care for and respect the people of Israel, and we want to celebrate their Independence Day with them.”

The United States was the first country to recognize Israel as an independent nation and serves as Israel’s principal ally.

  1. Genesis also tells us that God created the heavens and the earth less than two thousand years before Abraham was born.

  2. Sooooooooooo not relevant to South Dakota. Sooooooooooo relevant to the far right. Thank you, Kristi, for prioritizing the far right.

    2. South Dakota’s official motto says, “Under God the people rule.” Securing God’s blessings and our God-given freedoms is relevant to South Dakota.

      Thank you, Kristi, for prioritizing South Dakota’s God.

      1. But how is that relevant to Israel? Or to South Dakota? There is no connection. Let me put it this way: how many previous South Dakota governors wished a happy birthday to Israel? This is pure pandering to a very small group of people on the far right. Has zero to do with South Dakota. Zero.

        Fascinating that Pat deemed it worthy to highlight. I accept that he believes that Kristi can do no wrong, but quite odd he would highlight something so silly.

        1. Maybe Kristi Noem really believes the Easter story and really believes what Jesus taught about Israel. Maybe she isn’t pandering to the far right. Maybe she IS the far right. Maybe that’s the main reason a very small group of South Dakotans elected her to a second term in a 27-point blowout.

          Your refusal to admit the connections to Israel and South Dakota doesn’t mean those connections don’t exist.

        2. ~ But how is that relevant to Israel? Or to South Dakota? ~

          About the same relevancy as the NebraskaHater posting about events in South Dakota.

          And his minions following suit.

  3. The more relevant question is what part of Israel is Governor Noem sending her heartfelt gratitude? Is she sharing her love with the democracy-loving Israelis or the arch-conservative Netanyahu who is waging a whole-scale war on the Israeli judiciary, constitution, and democratic movements. Is Noem saying ‘atta-boy’ to those men and women who look to the United States as a shining light of laws, rights, and freedoms, or is she following the 15-time-losing Kevin McCarthy in giving oral gratification to a corrupt, self-serving, despot who has little regard for his country, let alone his faith?

    1. See comment above by Al Gonquin @9:21

      Should you go back to your national socialist blog safe-space?

    1. South Dakota expresses gratefulness to God in the first ten words of the preamble to our state constitution and refers to God by name in our bill of rights (Article VI), as well as in our state motto and on our great seal (Article XXI).

      It isn’t foolishness, but mocking it is.
