Bow about:

The problem is that CarolC did not herself kill 10,000 innocent Iraqis in the past year. But, rather than do anything about her own country's killing of civilians in a phony war of agression, she sits in her trailer writing reams of propaganda condemning a country for defending itself against the terrorists that randomly murder little girls eating pizza or riding their school bus. As an American, she is complicit in every Iraqi death, but she ignores them in favor of railing against the Israelis.

Or how about:

CarolC and Jack the Sailor live in Alabama, one of only seven states in the USA that executes children. Not just children, mentally retarded children. Despite this crime against humanity being perpetrated in their names, by their own state government, virtually in their own back yard, CarolC and Jack do nothing. Instead, they sit in their trailer writing reams of propaganda condemning a country for defending itself against the terrorists that randomly murder little girls eating pizza or riding their school bus. As Alabama residents, they are complicit every time their state executes another child.

The problem is that the vast silent majority of these Jews did not massacre civilians at Qibia (substitute any other atrocity committed by the Israeli government here) but they also did not stand up against it. They become accomplices, by omission, and this applies to political leaders, intellectuals, business people and many others. Many of them can certainly tell right from wrong, but are afraid to express their views.
