 Congressman: Jewish Settlers Are Like Termites

Hank Johnson   

PHILADELPHIA—A Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee compared Jewish Israeli settlers to termites on Monday while speaking at an event sponsored by an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts of the Jewish state.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) launched into a tirade against Israel and its policies toward the Palestinians, comparing Jewish people who live in disputed territories to "termites" that destroy homes. Johnson also compared Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a remark that drew vocal agreement from those in the room.

"There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you’ve been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming," Johnson said during an event sponsored by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, an anti-Israel organization that galvanizes supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS.

What an intellect!  A perfect person to assess the world. A knowledgeable democrat.  Only a person with his massive intellect could ask a 4 star admiral in a congressional hearing if the admiral wasn't worried if too many American troops got on one side of Guam it might tip over.  Yes, a massive intellect! farter000000

I bet he supports the quiet invasion of the US by Islamists and illegals, too.

They feel very comfortable in expressing their antisemitism now.  Bad stuff.

Makes one suspect if he is a beneficiary of affirmative action, yes?

This .... from the same addle-brained idiot that was afraid Guam would "tip over"?   Consider the source (of idiocy).   But yeah, the left is VERY comfy voicing their hatred for Trump, for Jews, for Conservatives and for anything and everything that is not 'like them'....leftist/socialist/communist biased.

Too bad so many blacks are apparently ignorant of the FACT that American Jews were in the forefront of the civil rights movement.

One footnote to tha. In the podcast of Candace Owens and HawkNewsome, he states blacks should be close to Jews, not the opposite.

He is the leader of NY chapter off black lives matter, an attorney, like him or not, an influential guy.

It is an episode of her podcasts, on Prager U.

A civil discussion.

Sounds like there is another congress-person in the wings as well, I haven't heard him make spiteful, unacceptable comments like this...

Andre Carson, Muslim Convert I assume.  Indianapolis area,  I think he's called for Sharia law, it doesn't matter, any of them could say the most vile things at any moment, it appears.

After Imran Awan, a Muslim Pakistani IT aide to several top House Democrats was caught stealing equipment and data from members of Congress; it was discovered that he still had an active, secret email tied to Rep. Andre Carson. After learning that Awan was the subject of a criminal investigation and that he was banned from the House computer network by the Capitol Police, U.S. Congressman Andre Carson refused to fire Awan.

Termites - things to be exterminated.  This rhetoric is not new.  This from 1943:

Der Jude als Weltparasit (https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive/weltparasit.htm)

Yeah, cause it is much easier to justify eliminating your fellow humans if you first de-humanize them by comparing them to animals or insects that should be eliminated.

So typical of the Left.

They accuse others of that which they do themselves.
