You don't see me holding Arabs up to some "rarified" Western standard - I let them tell ME what their standards are. Same with the Israelis - I let them tell ME what standards do they prefer to be judge on, and I'll accept that

Soooo fair-minded of you. There's a real advantage to portraying oneself as a barbarian here.

Apparently the difference between you and me is that I believe all human beings are volitional entities, with free will, and the ability (and obligation) to choose between right and wrong, no matter where they live, who they are, or what they do.

I acknowledge that determining "right and wrong" is complicated in complex circumstances, but deliberate wrong-doing is never justified.
