Attack of the Theocrats!
Comment #462201 by Richard Dawkins
But that's why this situation is so horribly messed up.
What does "Israeli" mean?
It has at least four different associations: The Jewish culture, the Jewish race, the Jewish religion, and being someone born within certain borders.
And so, what does Israeli mistreatment of Palestinians imply? A territorial dispute, a cultural dispute, or a religious dispute?
It's all so mixed up. You can't attack the religion or politics of Jews or Israelis without being accused of racism.
