I'd be nervous too. I think Israel needs to take a long, hard look at itself. But in the meantime innocent people will be exploded. Sorry. Not what you want to hear.

I am definitely not an anti-Semite. But all the children of Abraham have questions to answer if their God is truly righteous, and created women as well as men. Animals need to be killed in a special way, you need to eat certain things on certain days, but it's okay to belittle and control and damage the mother of your sons? If they come from such a dirty place, how can they be holy too?
