MTG: “I Actually Support Jewish Space Lasers”

The Jewish Forward reports:

In her new memoir, titled MTG and scheduled for release on Tuesday, the Republican congressperson from Georgia writes that she has “donated to the Temple Institute in Israel, a fund that helps rebuild the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount in Israel.” The group, known as Machon HaMikdash in Israel, was founded to rebuild the Temple on the site of the Dome of the Rock — the Islamic shrine — and to reinstate animal sacrifice.

The revelation is part of a full chapter in which she defends her infamous suggestion that a Jewish-funded space laser had sparked wildfires in California in 2018. “This was something I had once said in a sarcastic social media post years before I was elected,” Greene writes. Greene touts her voting record on Israel military aid, including funding for the “Iron Beam,” a new laser missile defense system. “So, it turns out I actually support Jewish space lasers,” she writes.
