Crimson > whatever Europe does, its complicity in the abhorrent oppression of Palestinians will remain to blight any claims it has to moral authority. After all, you are only as moral as your least moral action.
Grandiose language, that's for sure, but who decides on morality, anyway -- the rabbi, the priest, the government, a committee, the UN? As far as religion is concerned, the Commandments are broken every day by those who profess to believe in the Bible, so one can't look for morality amongst so-called believers. And atheists, by definition, are expected to be immoral.
Truth is, there is no morality -- except as it suits the individual. In other words, there is only hypocrisy disguised as morality. But what is even worse than the lack of morality is the absence of justice. Sauce for the goose is definitely not sauce for the gander. |
