re: Looking at the people lining up against Trump on Syria

No, it’s a logical fallacy. And you’re embracing the idea behind bills of attainder, an idea we we expressly rejected in the revolution, and made doubly clear in the constitution.

We, as a people, do not believe in inherited guilt. It’s a tyrannical and un American concept. We do not punish people for the sins of their fathers.

You’re also purposefully ignoring the history of that time. The British stood between the Palistinians and the Zionist during the mandate, trying to keep order. But they leaned towards the Zionist cause. See the Balfour declaration.

So why would the Palestinians support the British? That would be incredibly counterintuitive.

You’re also overlooking the troubling moral issues that’s the state of Israel poses. It is an increasingly theological state, where value is driven exclusively by membership in a ethno-religious tribe. Those outside of that group, and that includes people like you and I, are considered underneath them, which in turn absolves Israel of any obligation to treat us with basic human dignities.

To shoot me, would be a small thing. And no sin. I am goyim.

Such is Israel today.
