“When discussing the repeated suicide murders emanating from these territories against Jews in Israel, some will express sympathy for the Jewish dead and injured. Many, however, will express more sympathy and understanding for the perpetrators of those massacres and those who recruit and encourage them.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time such an argument has been made with respect to the Jewish people. Those making this argument today, like so many before them, take the deaths of Jews much too casually.”
