The law is not the same as justice

I just checked very fast out of my other social media because it is (not) astonishing how many people cannot criticize Israel without stampeding straight for the anti-Semitism, but what the hell is the U.S. doing blocking council statements and sessions in the UN? The previous administration were a bunch of Evangelical Christian Zionists who would have been glad to see molten glass from the river to the sea if it sped up their Rapture timetable, but I expected less Armageddon from the people I voted for. Unless there is some back-channel diplomacy at work with an actual chance of succeeding if given the extra time, I don't get it. I hope there is something obvious I am missing.

Wow. That tumblr post is a series of remarkably low bars! And yet.

I'm so sorry.

*cringes all over* I am so, so sorry.

I don't get it either.

As far as I'm concerned, both Israel and Palestine deserve better than they're getting right now. Tragic, horrific and anger-inducing situation.

It says something that a friend posted an article he'd come across the other day which explained how to criticise Israel without being an anti semite...............

I don't think Andrew will mind my sharing this:

*hugs* The way the left deals with this kind of thing is, in its own way, no better than the right. I have been sitting on a variety of posts over the last few days and rotating between being angry at a wide variety of people on the international stage who should know better, and feeling afraid and worried for Jewish friends who are caught up in the middle of something no one asked for.

You'd think that Americans of all people would understand what it's like to be unfairly blamed for things that are being done by SOME OTHER VOTER'S FUCKING GOVERNMENT. But no.
