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 wonder if FOX news regrets adding Juan Williams to “the 5”?

Juan Williams is proof FOX is fair and balanced. They even allow total morons to present their viewpoint. How much longer will this idiot be provided with a forum there to spout his idiocy?

What was his reaction to Biden saying Jews are on their own and cannot rely on America?

I stopped watching Fox and he was the main reason, Blowhard on the Five was the other.

Translation: Boehner’s white skin is racist.

These people are tiresome; the constant howls of “Wolf!” are falling on deaf ears now. It won’t be “white America” that finally does them in, but the hordes of Hispanics and Asians replacing them who can’t understand why they were ever tolerated to begin with...

Add to that Bill O’RLY, Gerry Rivers, Greta van Gasbag, and a few others, and it shows they’re not fair and balanced, they’re just plain mediots.

I do not feel qualified to answer that question while Al Sharpton still has air time.

Getting tougher and tougher to defend Ozero these days, isn’t it Juan? He has to start dipping into lameness to do so.

I have never seen a bunch of folks so determine to try and stir up a civil war in this country as much as these black dimocrats. I have lived in what is called ‘the black belt’ of this country all my life. I can say that white people that use to be sympathetic to claims of discrimination are not any longer. Everyone is sick to death of the false narratives and accusations that are being spewed constantly when they live in the truth every day. And to try and spin hispanics and blacks as if they were some kind of united front is really ridiculous as these two groups don’t like each other. Blacks talk sh!t about hispanics and see them as taking away benefits they should be getting. They don’t think they deserve anything since they are not here legally. Between blacks killing each other and aborting themselves their population is down from 18% to 13.5% of the population. Not very good odds for the war Juan and his ilk are trying to whip up.

This man is one I actually feel sorry for...he has no clue how dumb he sounds. I can’t see why Fox puts him on the panel...it is embarrassing. If they want to make it interesting, pick a smart liberal...unfortunately there are many of them.

This is the one good thing about even the most squishy RINO Republicans- they’re usually very solid to spectacular on Foreign Policy.

STILL trying to reinforce the “conservative=racist” line, huh?

Hey Juan, here’s more concrete proof that needs reporting: democrat eating a burger=ok. Republican eating a burger=racist. What more evidence do we need?
