It’s a good idea to learn about subsetting. Some members — not all — of certain groups are extremists. If you’re going to criticize them for their extremism (and they totally deserve it), don’t paint with too broad a brush.
The 1960 movie “Exodus” was a drama set during the founding of the modern nation of Israel in 1948. The soundtrack’s stirring “Theme of Exodus” won the Academy Award for Best Music Score and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. The only purely instrumental work to ever win the latter, it was composed by Ernest Gold. Subsequently, pop singer and ardent evangelical Christian Pat Boone supplied the following jingoistic lyrics to the melody under the title “The Exodus Song”:
= = = = = =
This land is mine; God gave this land to me,
This brave, this golden land to me.
And when the morning sun reveals her hills and plains
I see a land where children can run free.
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me.
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With God’s own hand I know I can be strong.
So take my hand and walk this land with me
And walk this lovely land with me.
Though I am just a man, when you are by my side
With God’s own hand I know I can be strong
To make this land our home.
If I must fight, I’ll fight to make this land our own.
Until I die this land is mine.
= = = = = =
It apparently didn’t matter that the people already living there thot of it as THEIR own.

Arabs ≠ Palestinians ≠ Hamas ≠ Ismail Haniyeh
Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Zionists ≠ Binyamin Netanyahu

Too many idiots think that blasting each other to smithereens solves anything.

Yeah, Israel is NOT having a good year so far. Nor a smart one. This is what happens when you have a sociopath for a leader, hint, hint!

Interesting how Israel’s act of war, bombing the consulate in Syria, is so rarely mentioned.
