After two female soldiers were chased in Bnei Brak, something sacred was fractured. What happens when Israel no longer feels like one nation?

To distinguish between a violent mob and an entire community. To insist on responsibility without erasing belonging. To say: I am furious. I am hurt. I feel betrayed.

But I will not walk away from the Jewish people – and I will not send away a part of the Jewish people.

Hmmmmm… what if we like… applied that principle to people outside of your religion too…? Now THEN we could start getting somewhere productive! Wait never mind why we would do that, after all the Leopards Won’t Eat Our Face! We have the US military to blow up all the Leopards!

    There is something uniquely destabilizing about intra-Jewish hostility toward those who risk their lives to protect the Jewish people.

    Those women weren’t chased because they protect Jewish lives, they were chased because they were complicit in GENOCIDE, and even some Israeli Jews can see how evil that is. Just like many Americans can see how evil bombing Iran is.

    The irony is that Jews, of all people, don’t seem to recognize genocide when it is applied to anyone but themselves.
