Good point. There's something deeply hypocritical about condemning Hamas as terrorists who deserve to be exterminated while turning a blind eye to the ways that Israeli policy has been acting terroristic toward Paleatine for YEARS. I believe this is what has sparked support amongst the young.

If we're all hip to exterminate terrorists, after all, shouldn't they all be exterminated? For the good of humanity? Isn't that selling point? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one?

That's what Israel (Netanyahu) is claiming. They need Palestine to go quietly into the night. To cease existing for the good of the greater population. Might makes right. They're not like us anyway. Sub human.

But look where that leads. Israel is a small population too, relatively speaking. What happens when some other state decides that Israel needs to stop existing for the benefit of a larger group. They're not a real state anyway. And they're in the way. Right? Truly, someone needs to address the Jewish question before they come for the rest of us.

See how that thinking works?

Tread carefully people. Think about what you're saying and advocating. Don't just look at the words, look at what the words point to. Use your heads. Don't allow 'othering' to infiltrate your thinking. Don't accept it when it's presented to you as normal or natural.
