Juan Williams: Boehner’s Trip to Israel is Racist
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On March 31, 2015 @ 1:03 am In The Point | No Comments
“Something something racist.” A Democratic argument from 2008 to 2016.
Juan Williams is back and he wants you to know that Boehner’s trip to Israel is racist. Also all trips are racist. And all planes. Especially white planes.
The real issue here is the way Boehner is recklessly sowing division along party lines on Israel. He is also — intentionally or not — heightening the silent but simmering racial tensions that increasingly divide Americans on the subject.
The racial division is the most troubling of all to me, as a black American.
Boehner’s visit is his latest embrace of Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who used strong racial language to rally his conservative supporters and win another term in office earlier this month.
Is that like the strong racial rhetoric Obama used when he told Latinos to punish their enemies, the strong racial rhetoric that Biden used when he told black voters Republicans would “put y’all back in chains” or the racial language that Congresswoman Sanchez used when she warned that the Vietnamese were trying to take over her district.
But those are fine. Democrats did those. The progressive party of the KKK.
To overlook Netanyahu’s racial politics is to send a troubling message to Americans at a time when blacks and Hispanics are overwhelmingly Democrats and the Republican Party is almost all white.
Netanyahu won on the votes of middle eastern Jews. His Obama backed opposition was all ‘white’. Try again, Juan.
Pew reported that “as many blacks blame Israel (27 percent) as Hamas (25 percent) for the fighting; and Hispanics are somewhat more likely to say Israel is to blame (35 percent) than Hamas (20 percent.)”
This disagreement among American racial groups is reflected in the split between Republicans and Democrats over Israel.
So is Juan Williams defending Hamas? Is he claiming that Hamas is more racially tolerant than Netanyahu? (It’s not.)
The Speaker is playing a dangerous game by mixing support for Israel into the powder keg of American racial and partisan division.
The only one to make that weird connection and exploit racial division is Juan Williams. Maybe he should leave the powder keg and all the kegs alone.
I just hope Bibi knows what a traitor Bohner is.
Correct.
OK, we’ll just accept that everything a white person says, does, or thinks is “racist”, and respond with “so what?”
They’ve nullified the concept by applying it to everything.
They can’t make be feel guilty for existing - sorry.
Whose “shenanigans” is he frowning upon?
Juan Williams’s descent into irrelevancy as a person who’s opinions are worthy of consideration is accelerating.
He has this frown he does that reflects his incredulity at any conservative critics' comments of liberals or their policies. His "tell". Distinctive Juan.
I cannot understand why whatever Juan Williams thinks, says, or does matters enough to write about.
Looks like a FauX Nooz and NastyCar boycott is going in effect here.. they have lost their blippin’ minds.
Juan fills the idiot quota.
How is Israel or being Jewish a “race”.
He should be fired for just being stupid and a plant for the democrat party.
The Jackass has a long history of saying bigoted things; of saying racist things; of saying stupid things; of saying non-sequiturs and other irrelevancies; and of being a partisan shill. The proper approach to calling him out on the air is to bust him across racist stupid face, or empty a clip into his twitching corpse.
Certainly, but we already know the deal. These foreigners are a little slow to get with the program, but a few high-profile murders splashed across the internet will learn them.
Only in Juan’s mind.
