Yes, this has gone on before. No, it isn't new. But don't try to tell me that people thinking it's ok to do this has nothing whatsoever to do with the messaging and behavior of public figures and leaders. Looking at you, Fox News and Trump and his enablers. Edit: Here's the headline - Indiana Woman Leaves Neighbor Racist Note Targeting Black Child, Relieved Because She 'Released Some Anger' https://www.essence.com/news/deborah-cantwell-racist-letter-black-child/ https://www.essence.com/news/deborah-cantwell-racist-letter-black-child/
Abdullah II, King of Jordan was there, for crying out loud. He and Netanyahu are definitely targets.
ReplyDeleteHe even brought his wife. Not important, per se. I would think it was a given that the PMs of England, France, and Germany were all targets, as well. I mean, it's a crummy part of the job, but it's a part of the job, isn't it? The being a target, I mean. Seriously, ask Clinton or Bush or both of them to go, then. Two former presidents would have been ok.
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing was a target, but Netanyahu was a particular target for the obvious reason, and Abdulluh was a particular target because he can now be considered an abject traitor, collaborator, and apostate by the types of people who originally went on that rampage.
