A Jewish Peculiarity

One does not see "Palestinians" risking life and limb to defend anything Jewish but name any cause under the sun and you can rest assured that Jews will be present. The more extreme the better. HAMAS and the PA operate for more Check Points than Israel ever has but no one is videotaping them, certainly not a group of bored self righteous Arab women.

It is a capital offence to sell land to Jews under both PA and HAMAS Law, but no "Palestinian" group will ever mention it, let alone violently protest it. Only Jews are so neutoric, so illogical as to flock to these causes. Make no mistake, all people should care about all kinds of abuse but when one takes a partisan position they forfeit any and all right to mount soap boxes.
