My last response to this petty thread hijack: I mentioned "The King's Torah," written by one settler-raise Rabbi Shapira. The book states with chilling nonchalance that the killing of a non-Jew by a Jew does not even count as murder; moreover, that Israel should be willing to kill a million Palestinian infants (!) for no better reason than to instruct their parents not to stand in the way of Jewish goals for example unlimited expansion (as advocated by Avigdor Lieberman and Ayelet Shaked).

These people are monsters. Ghouls. As sick as Himmler.
And, of, lest I forget, a lot of the settlers have been unobservant for generations.
It’s problematic to judge any culture by its worst examples. One could cherry pick folks with abhorrent from any culture. It seems disingenuous to argue this view is representative of all Jewish people, and I have to say, this comment does feel antisemitic to me.
Where did I do anything like that? By "these people" I meant Shapira, Shaked, and Lieberman. As someone whose relatives were murdered in the Holocaust I don't take to this casual use of "antisemitic." And with that I am definitely out of this hijack. I will respond to it no further.
