After reviewing the comments to my prior tweet regarding the scarves worn by the @United gate agents & carefully considering the feedback, I have decided to delete the tweet. In light of all that is going on, coupled with the pilot's pro-Hamas tweet from the other day, perhaps I was too hasty with my keyboard. It happens.

Former White House Middle East Envoy

So do they just find the most virulently racist people imaginable for these positions.

It is incredible that these people's jobs are supposed to nominally involve peace. The Onion should have a name-and-shame section for real news where they post screengrabs, audio, and video of these and other ghouls. TheOnion.com/RealGhouls?

Are we sure this guy's version of "the middle east" isn't just Israel? Does he appear to have connections to other countries? I'm not going to check, but maybe someone can let me know

Either that or the job makes them virulently racist, most likely a bit of both.

So this is just racism against arabs at this point, right?

Love the implication that the staff would custom produce airplane themed not-keffiyeh lookalike scarves for plausibly deniable Palestine support.
