Palestine: The Psychotic Stage
Above all, it’s time to give hatred its due. We understand its explanatory power when it comes to American slavery, or the Holocaust. We understand it especially when it is the hatred of the powerful against the weak. Yet we fail to see it when the hatred disturbs comforting fictions about all people being basically good, or wanting the same things for their children, or being capable of empathy.
Today in Israel, Palestinians are in the midst of a campaign to knife Jews to death, one at a time. This is psychotic. It is evil. To call it anything less is to serve as an apologist, and an accomplice.
Для бусурманомолчащих: пересказ по-русски.
Спасибо, Брет! Значит там, у вас, еще есть с кем можно серьезно и честно говорить о нашей боли и нашей чести.
