BaalChatzaf Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Here is a well written piece by Sam Harris on the matter. http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/why-dont-i-criticize-israelHere are the concluding paragraphs: "What do groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda and even Hamas want? They want to impose their religious views on the rest of humanity. They want stifle every freedom that decent, educated, secular people care about. This is not a trivial difference. And yet judging from the level of condemnation that Israel now receives, you would think the difference ran the other way.This kind of confusion puts all of us in danger. This is the great story of our time. For the rest of our lives, and the lives of our children, we are going to be confronted by people who don’t want to live peacefully in a secular, pluralistic world, because they are desperate to get to Paradise, and they are willing to destroy the very possibility of human happiness along the way. The truth is, we are all living in Israel. It’s just that some of us haven’t realized it yet."Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
