Freedom of Thought in Israel and the West

It actually makes sense that some Jewish people support “Palestine,” and here’s why. Jewish people follow a set of teachings and belong to a community where compassion and justice are highly valued. Jewish people have a long history of standing on the side of those who they see as having been oppressed, “because we know what it’s like.” In addition, Jewish individuals are generally free to – no, they are encouraged to – think for themselves and support whatever causes seem the most reasonable. This is actually an idea that “The West” copied from Judaism (indirectly, by way of Protestant Christianity).

Now I’m going to Google to see how many activist groups I can find with names like “Muslims for Israel,” or “Zionist Qataris,” or “Gazans against antisemitism.” Wish me luck. 🙂
