Democrat Congresscritter Compares Israelis to Termites

No wonder the Palestinian flag was the only one in evidence at the Democratic National Convention yesterday. The radicalized Dems are big fans of legitimizing the terrorist Palestinian quasi-state, to judge by a rant spewed yesterday by a member of the House Armed Services Committee:

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.

The “Palestinian” territories are Israeli property, won fair and square in wars that Israel did not choose.

Yet American Jews will continue to overwhelmingly support Democrats, although this may change if Republicans go back to fielding acceptable candidates.

Previous nuggets of wisdom from Rep. Johnson include raising the alarm that the island of Guam might tip over if too many US troops are stationed there.
