Hollow words aimed only at Jews. If people or the U.N. showed the slightest bit of outrage over the slaughter of one Muslim population by other Muslim groups or by dictatorial Arab leaders your comment could be considered an expression of a moral position. With no evidence that such killing, widespread throughout recent history, is condemned as genocide too, singling out Israel for a vigorous response to terrorism loses moral clarity. Arabs have been killing themselves in the name of Allah since the 8th century, and with greater gusto in the 21st. And in general, our 9/11 inspired wars killed many more in the name of ending terrorism than Israel is doing today. Arab terrorism continues and will continue until the divided factions among Arab states root out fanatics in their midst. Civilians will pay the price in every case, here, the Middle East, India, Ukraine, all over Africa, and soon perhaps Taiwan.
