Reply #127: How can a COUNTRY be a victim of bigotry?

[Ken Burch]

Please explain this.

I can see how a nation that is still not independent can be a victim of oppression, but you can't really be arguing that people are only criticizing the government of Israel, for example, because it claims to be Jewish? That's absurd.

How can a country with a massive army ever be a victim of anything?

And are you arguing(I'm asking this, not making any assumptions)that Palestinians, in their resistance to the Occupation, can actually be considered "bigots"? Where would that conclusion arise from? Can't we assume that anyone else who treated the Palestinians as the IDF has treated them would have faced the exact same level of resistance?

Nobody in history ever said "It's ok if this group oppresses me, but not THIS OTHER group".
