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.

Guam flipping over is pretty silly, but then again, Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house.
Sarah Palin never said that. Tina Fey, from Saturday Night Live, did.
Okay, I'm wrong, but you guys still wanted her for VP.
Do you ever realize that if people take the time to look into what you post that it can be easily proven that less than half of what you say is accurate? We would literally need to take what you post and divide it by two if we wanted something more than bullshit. I don't doubt that you believe it, I just think that if you are going to buy everything that is being sold to you that you may want to stick to more reliable news sources, so you aren't embarrassed so often. Even though, I'm not sure that you get embarrassed by this type of thing and you still believe that those who agree with you still respect your opinion, regardless. They don't. They probably don't dislike you and aren't going to correct you but they know that even though you are extremely passionate about this stuff, you don't always do your homework.

He and the people that believe him saw footage of Palestine and filed that in the wrong bin in their heads.
Somebody posted the news clip from MSNBC. It showed the twin towers burning as viewed from NJ while the host voice-over speculated about rumors of Muslims in Jersey celebrating. Then the footage cut straight to Palestine.
But Trump and his followers don't have the humility or capacity to question themselves and seek whether or not actual evidence supports their belief.

Check it, I'm more than 90% correct.
Don't believe me, put your money where your mouth is??
Most of the time I don't even respond to things you say. This one was just too easy. I don't have the time, nor do I care to weed through all your crap.
Here's an idea, if you are posting something that contains facts and numbers, add a link, so people can see where you got it and it is reputable. Don't just pull stuff out of your ass unless you expect to get called on it.
Don't post things that you've overheard other people saying if you can't find a reputable source that backs it up.
No need to back up opinions with links, you just have to know the difference between facts and opinions.
