The current leadership of Israel is as abyssmal as they get, but it will be a cold day in hell if I go on blaming it on the whole jewish people or Israel. I just dislike their government and the idiots electing them.
I'm no cannibal, after all and my jewish ancestry, while not being as strong as all the other ingredients from our former empire, plays some role in that. We have been persecuted by primitives after all. For the idiocy, your twitter correspondent offered.
Oh yea I totally agree, as much as I hate Netenfuckhu it still would not mean I want millions of people harmed because I don't like him.
It needs to be said though, outside of labels, our species is very tribal, our downside far too much is that when we perceive a threat, we have a tendency to turn to the biggest guy on the block to protect us, much like a alpha male chimp.
It still remains we are the same species and no, I do not like everything Israel's government does, but I also at the same time am NOT willing to lump Malala in with the likes of Bin Ladin in response. It still remains you CAN go after bad ideas, and bad behaviors and still treat everything as case by case.
Now I don't mean the following in the same context she did, but the following quote does reflect what I know my species has in them if they chose.
Ann Frank has a quote I love and the insight is astounding considering when she wrote it, " 'In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. "
