But, when it comes to this topic, there is only one phrase to remember, and this is for both of the political extremes.

"Love the sinner, hate the sin."

The extreme right considers Israel the "sinner" and the Jews, the "sin" . The other extreme, just flips the equation. The problem is we are still considered less than. So all that "love" is really nothing more than contempt, at best, and hostility, at worst.
