However, Israel's responsibility is first to protect their citizens and only then do they focus on non-Israeli citizens. Throughout their history, the more they gave to innocent Palestinians, the more the terrorists took advantage of that (by attacking Israeli's) and forced Israel to treat the Palestinians the way they do. So while I do feel for the innocents that are suffering, the blame goes to Hamas alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928387059735958551.post-40082530141074323982011-04-05T13:08:51.596-04:002011-04-05T13:08:51.596-04:00Well, while I think "Israeli Apartheid Week&q...Well, while I think "Israeli Apartheid Week" is an inflammatory (and inaccurate) name, it shouldn't obscure the fact that real oppression does come to Palestinians (or, if you don't believe they are a nation, residents of the West Bank/Judea and Samaria and Gaza). We are bound by halacha to treat all people, not just other Jews, with dignity. I admit I don't know the objectives of these people at the LGBT center - do they seek to deligitimize Israel? Is this a healthy critique of a Middle Eastern democracy? I don't know enough about it. But, it is certainly within an American's right to criticize Israel, as much as it is to protest those who seek Israel's destruction.Brandonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1928387059735958551.post-68296548104225914502011-04-04T01:10:31.465-04:002011-04-04T01:10:31.465-04:00Disgusting!

This is particularly true in Europe. So much so, that an LGBT center can even think of supporting an idea like that Israel Apartheid week - a "single issue" organization, forgetting the records of Israel and Palestine regarding that single issue. Sometimes I'm amazed at how stupid we humans are becoming; this is more than just politics, it's a matter of basic common sense.
