How To Lose Support For Israel, John Hagee Edition

Clowns are scary.

.

Oh fer fucks sake. They've done themselves a huge disservice by letting the insufferable bigot John Hagee anywhere near it.

Anyone remember this!? 
 
Look, I get that Israel needs the continued support of American evangelicals, misguided as that may be. 

But there are better ways to reach that community than platforming malignant clowns like Hagee.
 
Having his smirking mug on this did exactly nothing to improve the optics of what's happening in Gaza.
 
Makes it worse, actually, by further alienating those who are starting to seriously question WTF Israel is hoping to accomplish by pounding more Palestinian hospitals into rubble. 

And no, I'm not saying the US did any better after the attacks of 9/11. Arguably, "our" decision to invade Iraq was at least as brutal and made even less sense. 

I guess I'm just sayin that I wish our species didn't suck so much, which seems kinda lame.
