Because they have the power.

In this situation, everyone is a victim. Some are victims of their own hatred.

And your effort above to equate the Palestinians with Daesh is pretty dumb and an indication of how hatred can interfere with rational thought.

I'm just a dumb hater, I guess. Bravely (anonymously) spoken. There's a problem in Islam. Too bad it's only a few brave women who have the balls (that their men have left in their other pants) to talk about it.

BTW don...the only slaves in this situation are those enslaved to their destructive ideology, and those who are too afraid to speak up in opposition to it. Or perhaps at the bottom of it all, there simply isn't all that much opposition.

And that's your trouble. You internalize glib little turds like this. So, it seems, do many Israelis.

Lehrer was a Jew himself and was a teenager during WWII. Given the events of his formative years, he can perhaps be forgiven for harboring the sort of feelings he expressed in that lyric but not any more. Everybody doesn't hate anybody.

I neither said nor meant that but, if you see yourself in that statement........

Anyway, DQ thinks the Jews are the bad guys...I think the jihadists are the bad guys.

Thank you for guessing, but actually I think it's way over-simplistic, and biased, to call one side in things like this 'the bad guys.'

Alas, again, the 'see how awful they are' defense. As if Jews are the only victims.

Not the planet, no. And he didn't say trust, did he? Lack of hatred, lack of cruelty, I might suggest. Empathy and recognition of just grievances, I might suggest.

But I'm wasting my time. You'll give up reading before you give us any credit at all....
