Al Jazeera English Opinion: Tea Party activist urges attack on flotilla

Joshua Trevino just doesn't get it


"The far right is already lining up in support of whatever action Israel takes against the unarmed civilian relief activists.


Take a look at these tweets from Joshua Treviño, who was formerly a speechwriter in the Bush administration, a staffer for the failed senatorial campaign of Tea Party candidate Chuck DeVore (R-CA) and an employee of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Treviño condemned Palestinians as morally depraved and deserving of any evil that befalls them.



However, Treviño went much farther than that. He openly called 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."


Treviño justified his twisted reasoning by likening the Americans bringing relief to the Gazans to Americans who served in the German army during World War II. After Kurt Schlichter, who writes for Andrew Breitbart's Big Government site, called for the sinking of the flotilla, Treviño wrote, 'Not morally different from a Nazi convoy, is it?'"
