Thursday

who are loudly voicing their opposition to what my country is doing right now. I am happy to see them pulling away from us, both because it is the only thing they can do and because it is a concrete protest.

I don't consider those people to be showing any hatred for me or my religious beliefs or cultural group. I am happy to hear them adding their voices to my own in objecting to my country's vile acts.

For many of us (not all, I do understand that) the opposition to Israel is exactly the same.
