President Barack Obama recently invited the top tier US Muslim Leadership to the White House for the annual Ramadan Iftar Dinner, one of the White House's largest gatherings "honoring" the Muslim Community and unleashed one of the most racist of Zionist leaders, Israel's Ambassador Ron Dermer to keynote the event. Adding insult to injury, this occuring with the backdrop of Israel's genocidal attack on Palestine and the President following up Dermer's keynote with a rationale for the Israeli attacks in Gaza this week.
When Netanyahu appointed Dermer ambassador to the US, even many Israelis were horrified. They correctly saw that the appointment signaled that Netanyahu had closed the door to even the slightest chance at peace.
Dermer has famously said that Arabs and Muslims have “a cultural tendency towards belligerency” that is “deeply imbedded in the culture of the Arab world and its foremost religion.” He even celebrated “the refusal of commuters on a Minneapolis flight to fly until three Arab passengers were removed from the plane” merely because they were Arab.
Imagine a 1980s-era South African ambassador saying that blacks have “a cultural tendency towards belligerency” and celebrating racist whites who refused to fly on the same plane as blacks. Such a demented bigot would have been put on the next plane back to South Africa – even by the right-wing Reagan Administration.
