4. Anyone who defaces a Jewish tombstone with a swastika is a neo-Nazi anti-semite.

Of course they hate Israel too, it's a Jewish state. You can bet they didn't also paint anti-Israel slurs because they truly CARE about Palestinians. They use that added animus to fan their anti-semitism that would exist with or without Israel, or its actions.

These right-wing hateful a**holes are a different breed altogether from those on the left who feel they have legitimate reasons to criticize Israel, for its actions and who do it because they cannot stay silent in the face of injustice and so much suffering. Pleasr don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Those who believe "all Jews are responsible" and assign collective guilt are either ignorant authoritarians or anti-semites. I do not believe you are collectively responsible. But I do believe that you as American Jews have more sway than you think, and I believe that, as individuals, Jewish or not, we all have to speak out now to protect Palestinians from the fate Israel's right-wing and the ascendant settler movement have ordained for them. Because it's just plainly wrong.
