That's the truly sad thing about Israel. Fifty years ago, it was simple and clear- the Jews were the victims of the Nazi atrocities, that opened the Europeans' eyes to their own history of oppression of the Jews. Israel was the state in which, supported by their erstwhile oppressors, the Jews would be safe from persecution, and our support would expiate our sins of the past.

Post 1967 history (whoever started it) has shown that the Israeli state is as insensitive to the sufferings of the inconvenient as any other state in history; that it is as partial and tribal in its assessment of human worth as any other state; and it is as dismissive of morality (until found out) as any other state.

The great moral debt owed by Europe to the Jews has been squandered by greedy and stupid politicians, pandering to an uninformed electorate.

In other words, they are just like everybody else.
