Former Bush Speechwriter: Shooting People On Gaza Flotilla "OK" Because Participants Are Like Nazis


-snip-

Nonetheless, under pressure from the Israeli government and its lobby, the Obama administration is taking a strong stand against the flotilla, even suggesting that Americans on board cannot expect the U.S. to intervene on their behalf if Israel attacks (in 2009, the IDF killed 9 passengers on a Turkish relief ship).

-snip-

Take a look at these tweets from Joshua Treviño, who was formerly a speechwriter in the Bush administration. He condemns Palestinians as morally depraved and deserving of any evil that befalls them.

However, Treviño, a veteran and a former aide to Bush's HHS secretary, goes much farther than that. He openly calls for the Israelis to kill any of his fellow Americans who get in their way. "Dear IDF: If you end up shooting any Americans on the new Gaza flotilla -- well, most Americans are cool with that. Including me."

-snips show disgusting tweets that should have the tweeters behind bars-

But for Treviño, New York Times reporters or Holocaust survivors are probably of secondary importance. (His tweets, however, do indicate that he sees everyone on the flotilla as being equally guilty.) The man's real enemies are the Arabs and Muslims who dare defy Israel's blockade. The Americans on the boat, as he sees it, are useful idiots being used for propaganda purposes. The Arabs, Muslim and other "them"-looking people taking part in the flotilla are fair game. (Here he is last year showing displeasure at the news that one Muslim participant in the last flotilla was not killed. "Oh well. Next time," he chimed in.)

talk about hate crimes!

3. I didn't believe them before, and I don't now.
;-)

But this is particularly disgusting. But like so many RW bullshit, it's clearly projection.

4. Now yesterday there was a post saying that McGovern was
saying that it was Obama's people saying this and I knew that was bogus...this explains it. It has nothing to do with Obama - just another Bushy.

6. Rachel Corrie got run over by a giant bulldozer protesting the destruction
of Palestinian homes.

Americans were "cool with that" because when terrorists kill Americans, we go to war but when Israelis kill Americans, we deserve it.

:sarcasm:
