Congressman who once feared Guam could capsize compares Jewish settlers to 'termites'

Quote

 

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.

 

I'm not sure I need to add anything to this article.  Congressman Hank Johnson, Democrat from Georgia pretty much sums up the collective intelligence of the Democratic Party, IMHO of course.  And he's on the House Armed Services Committee.  His razor sharp mind must have got him that gig.

I guess it is wishful thinking hoping this will cost him his re-election bid.

Probably, but we can hope....

They reelected him despite his guam comment, and one other comment he made that was just as stupid. So dont trust the constituents of georgia to boot him out of office.

So if someone made the same nitwit comment about blacks to him, he'd most likely have a cow.

Funny how that street runs only one way.

Liberals don't view anti-Semitism as racism.  It's like when Hamas sets off bombs and machine guns Jews, liberals, especially in the media, never refer to that as terrorism and in some cases, question if the attacks really happened at all.   You will often find that they blame Israel for being attacked.

Source: More on Georgia Congressman's Comments

Quote

Days after former Democratic congresswoman Cynthia McKinney came under fire for a tweet deemed antisemitic, the man Georgians elected to replace her was quoted comparing Jewish settlements in the disputed West Bank to “termites.”

The conservative news site the Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that Lithonia Democratic U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson made the remarks while speaking at an event sponsored by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.

More from the Free Beacon:

“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.

“It has come to the point that occupation, with highways that cut through Palestinian land, with walls that go up, with the inability or the restriction, with the illegality of Palestinians being able to travel on those roads and those roads cutting off Palestinian neighborhoods from each other,” Johnson continued. “And then with the building of walls and the building of check points that restrict movement of Palestinians. We’ve gotten to the point where the thought of a Palestinian homeland gets further and further removed from reality.”

The Anti-Defamation League called Johnson’s comments “offensive and unhelpful” and asked the lawmaker to retract his remarks. “Demonization, dehumanization of settlers doesn’t advance peace,” the organization tweeted.

Johnson later apologized for his remarks, saying they were a “poor choice of words:”

@ADL_National Poor choice of words – apologies for offense. Point is settlement activity continues slowly undermine 2-state solution.

— Rep. Hank Johnson (@RepHankJohnson) July 25, 2016

In a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Johnson, who recently returned from a trip to the West Bank with several House Democratic colleagues, said the “increasingly violent situation in Israel and Palestine is unsustainable.”

“The corrosive settlement policies undermine the ability of all citizens in the region to enjoy healthy, peaceful lives in safe communities,” he said. “We must work to promote policies that support a two-state solution and encourage trust between both sides.”

His office also elaborated on the Free Beacon story:

“The article (Free Beacon) headline is wrong. Congressman Johnson did not call Israelis termites but did say the settlement policies threaten peace and the two-state solution. Congressman Johnson did not intend to insult or speak derogatorily of the Israelis or the Jewish people. When using the metaphor of termites, the Congressman was referring to the corrosive process, not the people.”

The Free Beacon also reported that Johnson also likened Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to GOP nominee Donald Trump.

McKinney came under fire on social media over the weekend for a tweet that implied Israel was behind recent terrorist attacks in France and Germany, the latest in a history of anti-Israel remarks from the ex-Georgia lawmaker and her father, the late state Rep. Billy McKinney.

Jewish voters and donors were among those who rallied behind Johnson in 2006 to oust McKinney during the 4th District Democratic primary and subsequent runoff.

In the years since, Johnson has arguably become the most liberal member of Georgia’s congressional delegation. A member of the House Armed Services Committee, he specializes in defense issues but is perhaps best known for a botched quip about whether the island of Guam could tip over due to the U.S. military presence there.

He says it's a "poor choice of words".  What a moron.  Since the Arabs/Muslims have many times more land than Israel, why don't the religion of peace take them in?  Why should Israel give one more millimeter of land to the Palestinians when all they preach is hate?  And their Muslim allies in our government give them some measure of legitimacy when they follow along with a carefully scripted argument on their behalf.

Saudi Arabia has 100,000 air conditioned tents and they refuse all Syrian Refugees for eg. because they stated there are Terrorists among them and won't let any into their country...what does the Mainstream Media & Political Elites and the P.C. squad in the west do? --They ignore the glaring facts & negate any reasonable actions to preserve the safety of all their citizens & throw out reason/ common sense.

TeleSUR notes that “no Gulf country has signed the U.N. Convention on Refugees, an accord standardizing the level of treatment of people fleeing to new countries.” No refugees have been accepted by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, or the United Arab Emirates.

How can they claim to worship the same God as Judeo-Christians do?

That's the politically correct thing to say and the liberals in the west have bought into it, hook line and sinker.

I think those tents are intended for that thing they do every hear marching around the Kabba.

Actually I worked with a lady that has horses and they travel to places with them to all kinds of gatherings.....   They have had a small heat pump window unit that they built a place in thier tent to just zip it in and they have both air and heat.....   and that was way back in the late 1980's  it works much better than I would have thought.
