Well Van Jones just pissed off everyone

[RainWalker]

at the "pro Israel rally" in Washington, DC during his speech. They weren't very happy with his comments at all.

1. How about "RELEASE THE HOSTAGES" Van?

Because if you are a peace guy, that should be #1 on your list. He really can be a tone-deaf idiot sometimes.

[RubyRose]

14. Totally agree

N/T

[Cha]

15. Yeah if he were thinking that would have been an

excellent thing to say.

[sarcasmo]

2. Van doesn't know how to read a crowd or a room.

[Cha]

16. That's been proven a few times.

[sarcasmo]

17. Especially the crying for Trump scene.

[lame54]

3. I always forget about this guy...

Until he makes the news for saying something stupid

4. Who invited him?

7. Who invited blood moons', racist, anti-Semitic Rev John Hagee?

Hagee will be addressing the rally, even though no other Jewish clergy members are on the speakers’ list.

“Contrary to what I was told, Pastor John Hagee will be speaking at today’s rally. I am horrified that he was given this platform. His history of hateful comments should disqualify him from decent company, much less from speaking on stage. He is not welcome and should not speak,” tweets Americans for Peace Now president Hadar Susskind.

Rabbi Josh Weinberg, the vice president of the Union for Reform Judaism for Israel tells The Times of Israel that he was surprised by Hagee’s inclusion and did not know who invited him to speak.

Weinberg asserts that it was still important for him and other progressive Jews to participate in today’s event, but laments that Hagee, “does not reflect the values of our movement to put it mildly.”

5. He's likely to get what he wants

With the IDF on the ground, the bombing phase of the campaign should largely be over.

6. Everyone's cringe worthy, totally anti-Semitic, slobbery, blubbery, televangelist: John Hagee is speaking.

Hagee will be addressing the rally, even though no other Jewish clergy members are on the speakers’ list.

“Contrary to what I was told, Pastor John Hagee will be speaking at today’s rally. I am horrified that he was given this platform. His history of hateful comments should disqualify him from decent company, much less from speaking on stage.

9. Hagee makes me want to puke. As always. (nt)

[marble falls]

11. A fine example of a US fundamentalist antisemite pro-Zionist.

[Think. Again.]

8. Hatred and violence...

...is becoming the default.

[Silent Type]

10. Sorry, but I ain't shouting him down for "No more rockets from Gaza . . . . . ."

[Raine]

12. It's to be expected with him it seems, geesh. 🙄 nt

[choie]

13. Might be the first time I've agreed with Van Jones

in a donkey's years.

[hatrack]

18. Was there ever a reason we were supposed to take this guy seriously?

"This was the moment Trump became President" was . . . one two three four five six fucking years ago, and nothing's improved since.

I mean, Jesus, Van, STFD and STFU.

On a related note, did Hagee show up with his perfect roan calf?

[SYFROYH]

19. I'm sure that was inconvenient for those who disagree with him.

Good on Van.
