George Zimmerman’s brother stands with Israel, guess we can all go home

[Katashi_itto]

(I'm sure George Zimmerman would love to get a job as neighborhood watch captain in Gaza City.)



The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is, indeed, complicated, complex, charged, overwhelming, tragic, confusing and other things that, to quote C&C Music factory, make you go hmmm.

Some people see the issue with an enviable clarity and simplicity, with views ranging from (a) Ayrabs won’t rest until they’ve killed all Jews to (b) all Jews/zionists/israelis won’t rest until they have killed all Palestinians.

But I, personally, like my world-view like my men: nuanced. So I look to the opinions and writing of people like the scholars Avi Shlaim, Ilan Pappé, Rashid, Khalidi, and the brother of George Zimmerman, Robert Zimmerman. Because, when it comes to restraint, non-violent conflict resolution, justice, trust-worthiness, and general decency, the Zimmerman’s are beyond reproach.

Brother George, of course, gets credit for murdering Trayvon Martin, but Robert Zimmerman’s racism and general disregard for human life deserves recognition. He once, for example, made an astute comparison between De’Marquise Elkins and Trayvon Martin because, both had Elkins fatally shot a white baby during a robbery attempt and… Trayvon was fatally shot… and… whatever… the point is they were both Black and had been photographed giving the finger, which is a pretty “#uncanny” and remarkable similarity.

1. He should marry a Kardashian

[dballance]

2. Weren't his 15 minutes up 20 minutes ago?

I hate the fact that some columnist gave him and time at all.

3. I see a PAC in their future.

Best way to make money for grifters.Palin did it.

4. This doesn't surprise me at all.

But he should volunteer to go over there and help Israel.

5. WHY is the media asking him about anything? If his brother had not murdered a young man we

would not know who he is and that would be just fine with me. I do not care who HE supports.

6. If he's a real Zimmer Man ...

he'll stand his ground in Israel.

8. I have some close relatives named Zimmermann.

And none of them are anything like the ones in the media.
In fact, they are all good people.

So don't go after the other Zimmermanns using their name in a nasty way.

7. I'm waiting for Joe the Plumber to weigh in...

I can't decide until we hear from all the important people.
