...(or anyone) who is not Jewphobic, homophobic, patriarchal, homicidal, racist, intolerant, autocratic, or theocratic. I apply that test, equally and fairly, to any group, be they Palestinians, Americans, Europeans, Israelis, whoever. The people who pass that test, the good people, deserve not only human rights but respect.

Anybody who fails the test (or supports someone who fails the test for any reason) deserves only to be shunned, ignored, and if they are criminal, punished. They get human rights, but nothing more. The whole rest of the moral, legal, and ethical book library must be thrown at them. In effect, they have excommunicated themselves from the company of the good.

On Edit: It was pointed out to me that I might be saying I am not for the human rights of Palestinians who "fail the test." My second paragraph has a line that basically says they (like anyone) deserve human rights. But you have to say what you're not saying these days or people assume you're saying what you aren't.

Redemption is still possible for them. Many were young and foolish, as we all were once. Many were programmed by people who were themselves programmed. The world is largely on autopilot, and stupidity and rottenness can appear good to even the good-hearted among the lost.
