However, unlike way too many people; Im willing to find fault in BOTH sides in the present conflict going on in Israel.
Bibi has allied himself with Israeli extremists, fanatics from the settlements, and a most unholy alliance with the American Radical Christian Right.
Hamas, of course, needs no explanation.
These two sides want nothing more than death and destruction and innocents are in the crossfire.
As a Jew, I feel its my duty to stand up against injustice, even if that means against my own people. I feel that both belligerents need to be removed from power on both sides and reasonable people will come through. Palestinians are not Hamas, Israelis are not Likud (in an example for the latter, the IDF followed through with a court order to remove settlers despite attacks from said settlers and Bibi trying to appeal it)
What happens to me then is that Im attacked for not siding with a side. By Palestinians, Im still a Zionist. To my fellow Jews, Ive been called "Judenraut" or worse.
My questions to you are this:
1. Is there more than the one solution that will bring us to mutually assured destruction?
2. Why do people attack those who take the high road?
