Intellectual mush, John.

Well, so you wish to turn the thread into a food fight! Not a good way to go, Nadine. We've got a good thing going with this thread but it's terribly vulnerable. Easy to destroy, hard to create. So consider toning it down a notch or two.

As for the substance of your post, it simply shows a blind spot to the notion that the Palestinians are people with human rights, too; that their actions, like all of us, if we wish to pass moral judgment on them, require we try to understand the context out of which they come.

That "moral clarity" piece lacked that compassionate sense for "the other".
