When the Bullies Write the Rulebook
Remember the lessons we learned growing up? “Don’t lie.” “Don’t steal.” “Don’t kill,” and “Respect others.” These guidelines, often printed on classroom walls and preached in morning assemblies, are quickly forgotten by adulthood.
It appears that these rules were written for the weak, as those in power seem to follow a different curriculum. Since 1948, Israel has been enrolled in a program that majors in Selective Morality with a minor in Global Indifference.
The syllabus is simple: steal land, call it self-defence; demolish homes, call it security; silence an entire people, call it democracy. And when questioned, they cry antisemitism.
