You mass murder and infanticide supporters should be thankful that there are individuals like @spidermike007 . Why? There are anti-Semites on this planet, no doubt about it. Foolish people with an IQ slightly over room temperature need this black-and-white, good-versus-bad thinking to understand the world. Anything else would intellectually confuse them, as it is so much easier to live with prejudices than to use one’s brain and judge individuals on their behavior rather than their religion. People like @spidermike007 put cracks into their version of the world and force them to question it. State-driven injustice, cruelties, mass murder, and genocide have two things in common: history has never judged them positively, and they never last forever. Once they are over, everybody looks for somebody to blame, and the question will inevitably arise whether all Israelis, or even all Jews, are evil. This is the exact same question that arose after the end of the Third Reich. Thanks to Germans like Sophie and Hans Scholl, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Georg Elser, and so many more, Germans could later say: "Not all of us were Nazis; not all of us were evil." And thanks to Jews like Jonathan Glazer, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Noam Chomsky, Gabor Maté, Norman Finkelstein, and many more like @spidermike007 , you guys will one day be able to say: "Not all of us were Zionists; not all of us were evil." To quote Martin Niemöller: “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.“ In our times, they are coming for innocent Palestinians. I am not speaking about Hamas terrorists, who deserve nothing less than to be eliminated. I am speaking about the countless men, women, and children in Gaza who, like most of us, were not even politically active and just wanted to live in peace. I am speaking for the people in the West Bank. I am speaking for the people in Lebanon. I am speaking for the people in Iran. I am speaking for all the places Israel has attacked or caused the US to attack, and all the innocent people who were killed—all under the guise of defending its right to exist, while in truth, it was driven by a desire to expand.
