Subject: RE: BS: Anti-Christian Pogrom in the West Bank
Well, thank you for trying to support me, Tam the Man, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with you about everything you say.
I am very uncomfortable with the some of the things you say about Jews. Some of the most important work being done for human rights in Israel and the Palestinian areas under military occupation is being done by Jews. Some of the most important organizations that work for human rights in those places are Jewish run organizations. "Jews" are not the problem. And Israel is not the only country that is guilty of human rights abuses. Other countries are guilty of that as well (my own country, the US, for instance).
So I prefer to focus on the issues and the behavior of individuals and governments, and not on any particular groups of people, because that just leads to scapegoating and further injustices.
