"god has chosen them,don't you know!"
it's the images of gaza that bother me. unspeakable atrocity.
i have nothing particular against the jewish religion. all religions have divided the world between insiders and outsiders, believers and infidels, the chosen and the unchosen. netanyahu isn't representative of the jewish religion. there are jews throughout the world who are unlike n.
not sure why you make a point that appears to confirm israeli suspicions that israel's critics are animated by anti-semitism or religious hatred.
this is a political and human issue. israel may legitimately respond to the existence of tunnels. but this response isn't remotely proportionate. no cultural/religious contempt is required to be horrified by israel's massacre.
the peculiar thing is the determination of israeli politicians to play victim.
it seems deeply embedded in their psyches. but these massacres express netanyahu's character. self-righteous, bullying sociopath.
ps by all means make the point separately but let this massacre be about itself.
