ACLU Help Line Pockets of Gaza Scumbag
Posted on January 6, 2009
Jammie Wearin Fool has the details on how he was asked to remove a shirt with arabic writing and Jet Blue settling the lawsuit for $240,000! Also a link to the scumbag’s pro-Gaza blog, and a note from him ensuring us that he will certainly be sending some of the settlement cash to Gaza! What would we ever do without the ACLU?
Update by Jay: This scumbag purposely provoked this lawsuit, and is now giving the money he won to Gaza!
What does this prove? That the TSA and JetBlue are nefarious? No. This man deliberately scared passengers knowing that even a reasonable response from the TSA and JetBlue would trigger a case for damages. Yet he and the ACLU have also, though the good offices of the gullible press, achieved their objective, which was to “prove” that we use “profiling” in airport security. This was particularly ironic, because the ACLU argued in the case that the TSA should have known that Jarrar was not a threat because he has lived in the United States since 2005 and is married to an American. What is that, if not “profiling”? As I wrote at the time, the ACLU essentially conceded by this arguement that profiling works, and yet still it sought damages.
It fascinates me that the left is against fighting jihadis abroad with military force because it says we can protect ourselves with better security at home, and then it turns around and opposes any domestic security measure that might, even in the most theoretical sense, infringe on the most expansive possible reading of our constitutional rights. It is almost as if the left wants us to lose.

Are you saying the man doesn’t have the right to express his non-violent political views? Before you cry out JetBlue is not subject to constitutional restrictions, remember that TSA was a co-defendant. If you don’t want to raise constitutional issues when it comes to airline security, don’t put the government in charge of airline security.
BTW, the money he sent to Gaza was sent through the U.N., presumably through their humanitarian organizations. I don’t think there’s any blood on his hands simply because he decided to buy a few bags of rice for people whose homes have been destroyed.
Right. I’m certain none of that rice, medical supplies, etc went to Hamas fighters.
I’m sure some of it did, but that’s a fact of life with humanitarian aid. If the UN’s doing a particularly poor job of qualifying their aid, take it up with them, not this guy.
I take it up with anyone stupid to believe that Hamas isn’t being floated by all of this “humanitarian aid”, present company included.
Google says the going rate for an RPG is about 400 lbs of rice. The UN’s providing about 2400 lbs per day, so that’s 6 RPGs per day assuming they barter away all of their rice. If that’s all they have, the war should be over any minute now. Or maybe the real source of their wealth is coming from somewhere else? Perhaps they have wealthy allies that fund the combatants directly?
You don’t think that’s 4 or 6 too many RPGs? Do they have some kind of minimum quota on your planet?
Any “humanitarian” aid that comes to Gaza is nothing but Hamas aid, whether it’s rice to feed them or medicine for their bullet wounds. One Hamas fighter fed or bandaged is one too many.
How much collateral damage is too much? Total warfare isn’t a very popular idea anymore.
Who was talking about collateral damage?
Seems to me that the only thing limiting the Palestinians is the type of weapons they can access. The Israelis, on the other hand, go out of their way to limit collateral damage, including making phone calls to surrounding buildings before they strike them. What country in the history of warfare has done that?
You people are something else.
We were. If you destroy a non-combatant’s ability to provide for the basic needs of his family (by destroying his home, livelihood, utilities, etc) and they subsequently starve or die of infection, that’s collateral damage, same as if they’d been killed instantly.
I don’t dispute that. Humanitarian aid is simply one part of that.
That aid to noncombatants is going to Hamas. Period.
The Palestinians, in a free and democratic election willingly and enthusiatically bought Hamas’s promise to destroy Israel and elected them with an overwhelming majority. Since then they’ve been honestly tried to deliver on their electoral promises.
We’d have lost WWII if jackasses worried about humanitarian aid to the Germans and Japanese had been in charge here.
Are you saying that the aid is literally going directly to the government or are you saying that aiding the people is tantamount to aiding the government?
Aiding the people is tantamount to aiding the government. How you can’t see that is beyond normal thought.
I don’t dispute that; I just wanted to make sure I understood your argument.
Now the Israelis called a ceasefire yesterday for the sole purpose of letting humanitarian aid into the affected areas. They’re the ones that are actually at risk, so how cold must your heart be if you’re speaking out against the aid from thousands of miles away?
The Israelis are both merciful and reacting to the cacophonic and deafening pressure from the same repulsive alliance in the UN which puts Sudan on the Human Rights Commission.
Regardless, you can’t deny that aid to the Palestinians is used by Hamas. And the anti-Israeli protesters around the world are comprised of nothing but terrorists and their sympathizers.
You’re all loathsome.
I see… so Israelis are merciful for sympathizing with the affected noncombatants, but everyone else that sympathizes with the affected noncombatants is loathsome.
The Israelis are forced to do it by the hordes of loathsome people who shrill and whine in western cities. That includes online apologists.
Would you care to support that statement?

They don’t seem to be acting under duress. They even sent fuel into the strip. I certainly would have understood if they only sent food and medical supplies.

I don’t see even the slightest hint that they share your view.
Right. Public statements are always accurate and always reflect what politicians are thinking. And all of the hysteria in western cities by Hamas-lovers and leftists isn’t having any kind of effect on the way western politicians vote.
When someone makes a disingenuous public statement, they usually leave breadcrumbs toward their true feelings. I’ll ask once again, do you have any evidence that they share your view?
Why don’t you answer my question and explain how this “humanitarian” aid isn’t helping Hamas?
I never said it doesn’t. It does. It also helps hundreds of thousands of noncombatants. The Israelis and most other people in the world think the benefits outweigh the risks.
I don’t have any intention of donating anything to that particular cause, but I’m human enough to understand why other people do.
