Why stop? Please continue. I really doubt you could say something unkind you have not said before.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

They say it is bad when it happens to them...not when they do it.
Take a peek at Israeli actions in the West Bank/Gaza before you answer.

My point isn't that genocidal hypocrisy is acceptable, but rather that, given that 6,000,000 jews were killed, we can perhaps forgive them the long-removed hypocrisy? I don't condone war or slaughter or even killing in any circumstance, hypocrisy is bad too but I'd like to think that genocide is considerably worse. I certainly don't think it's any fairer to persecute the jews on the grounds of ancestral deeds than to persecute germans for ancestral deeds.
plus, the whole israel/palestine thing is fucked up beyond recognition, I don't think we can sensationalise in this matter, as that tends to lead to genocide in the first place.
