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.


Johnson, who in 2010 voiced his fears that Guam would tip over and capsize if too many people resided on the island, said that “Jewish people” routinely steal land and property from Palestinians.

The same shitbags who put Charlie Rangel in office all these years and the dumb fucks who support that Sharpton clown and his crew...

I happen to love this guy. No one could make up this shit he comes up with. Even an imbecile understands what a mental midget he is.

Its no secret that there are no apparent minimum competencies required to serve in Congress. That doesn't make this genius any less sad and frightening though.
Once more, we get the government we deserve.

wait a minute... if Guam could capsize because of too many people, then aren't places like Manhattan, with all the tall buildings and stuff also at risk ? Or do the subways provide enough 'ballast' to offet the big bad buildings?

Your missing it completely. Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens are sinking because of those pesky water tunnel shafts they dug...geez.
