It takes me beyond anger into the deepest of sorrow, to be honest.
We're not even allowed to say things about Israel that some Israelis say about Israel. That would make us Nazis.
The moral blackmail used is that if we're not on the side of Israel we're on the side of Hamas. It's depressing that so many cannot see the logical absurdity of that deduction.
And it depresses me too that so many cannot understand that, while we expect Hamas extremists to act like barbarians, we expect Israel to act like a civiized people.
